Heels Dance 🖤 The Art of Seduction
**[Don't forget to join our community whatsapp group for latest updates!](https://chat.whatsapp.com/LuRw9VfBIKlEfwO2PAqow3)**
The Art of Seduction
🖤
My heels class is called the art of seduction because it is so much more than just a heels class, I am building a community of like minded women, who want to learn how to express their unique sensuality.
After 20+ years of studying dance and years of studying acting, burlesque, and psychology. I have created a class that combines all of these methodologies into helping women express themselves and step into their power. In this class you will be learning choreography and you will have a chance to perform and make a professional video at the end of the series. I will be teaching you how to find your unique expression of sensuality, technique from multiple styles of dance including ballet to help you dance more comfortably in heels, body movement, proper form for maximum flexibility, and how to create stage presence and character. I’m so excited to open this class here in Barcelona after years of teaching in Los Angeles.
**What to bring?**
I recommend everyone bring a journal because I want us to write about our experience so we can see the growth not just in our dance but in ourselves.
I also recommend bringing heels with an ankle strap so they don’t fall off when you dance. But you are welcome to learn this style of dance in any shoes you feel comfortable in, or even socks. As for what clothes to wear I recommend wearing whatever makes you feel sexiest but does not restrict movement.
Entree for the class is 7 euro paid at the entrance.

Connecting the World: Scalable Geospatial Pipelines with GigaSpatial
Speaker: Utku Can Ozturk, Data Scientist and main developer of the Gigaspatial project
Geospatial data is critical for global development, but practitioners constantly battle fragmented data, scaling issues, and complex integrations across vector and raster formats. Enter GigaSpatial, an open-source Python library built by UNICEF’s Giga initiative to help connect every school in the world to the internet.
In this talk, we will explore the architecture behind GigaSpatial and how it replaces the need to stitch together a dozen different tools to answer a single spatial question. We will dive into how the library orchestrates data collection, transformation, and standardisation pipelines at scale. By leveraging strict configuration validation, object-oriented data connectors, and seamless multi-store management, GigaSpatial provides a unified API to wrangle spatial data. Finally, we’ll look at real-world applications across 30 countries, from validating point-of-interest data against multiple global building footprints to running zonal aggregations using different grid systems.
Whether you are a data engineer, a GIS professional, or a Python developer interested in open-source architecture, you might find this talk an interesting look into how we build robust spatial pipelines; and we would love to explore ways you can contribute to this global mission.

Python Meetup May
For this month's Meetup, we are partnering with **ERNI** to offer two sessions about: **Scaling Python Analysis with Apache Airflow** and **Stopping an Epidemic using the Atomica package**.
\-\-\-
Schedule:
* 18:30: Welcome
* ️ 18:45: Talks
* **&** 19:45: Networking, food and drinks!
* 21:00: Bye!
\-\-\-
* ➡️ **What:** From Scripts to Systems: Scaling Your Python Analysis with Apache Airflow
* **Who**: Marc Gonzalez Planas
* ⏱ **Duration**: 30 minutes
* **Language**: English
* **Abstract**: Data Analysts often face a "production wall" where local Python scripts struggle to meet the demands of a live environment. Moving from ad-hoc analysis to scalable data products requires a shift in focus toward governance, observability, and idempotency. Without proper orchestration, we can fail.
Let's learn how to bridge that gap by refactoring standard Python scripts into automated pipelines using Apache Airflow. We will explore the transition to an "orchestration" mindset, focusing on how to use Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) and the TaskFlow API to transform modular Python functions into a an automatic system.
\-\-\-\-
* ➡️ **What:** How to Stop an Epidemic using the Atomica Package
* **Who**: Eloisa Pérez Bennetts
* ⏱ **Duration**: 30 minutes
* **Language**: English
* **Abstract**: Infectious diseases are a major global health challenge, claiming over 13 million lives each year. Despite the availability of interventions – such as vaccination, testing and treatment – determining the most effective strategy can be challenging, as this depends on complex factors like outbreak severity, funding limitations and sociopolitical influences. Computational modelling offers a powerful tool to assess the potential outcomes of different public health responses, but the difficulty of building fit-for-purpose epidemiological models from scratch is a barrier to widespread use.
Atomica, a Python-based open source simulation engine, addresses this challenge by simplifying the development of epidemiological models. It allows users to create highly configurable data-driven simulations that incorporate disease transmission, intervention strategies and budget constraints. With its user-friendly design and robust capabilities, Atomica allows us to forecast the potential consequences of public health strategies in specific settings. This insight enables policymakers and health organisations to make evidence-based choices, ultimately improving intervention effectiveness and saving lives.

SpainClouds Meetup – Mayo: Sistemas fiables
\-\-\-\-\-\- OFFICIAL REGISTRATION [HERE](https://luma.com/zmfmz9c5) \-\-\-\-\-\-
Building things that actually stay up at scale is a constant battle against chaos. To dig into how we (and others) manage that, we're hosting the SpainClouds Meetup right here at Yellow Park on Tuesday, May 19th.
SpainClouds is a community focused on sharing and growing global knowledge about cloud computing, building groups around the world to actually talk about what works and what breaks.
We’ve got two people who have seen it all:
* **[Our very own Florencia Gamboa (Principal Software Engineer @ Glovo)](linkedin.com/in/florencia-gamboa-22278861/?skipRedirect=true)**[:](linkedin.com/in/florencia-gamboa-22278861/?skipRedirect=true) She’ll be talking about how we keep the lights on here at Glovo when the volume and complexity start to get "exciting."
* **[Esther Yébenes (SRE/DevOps @ Tappx):](https://www.linkedin.com/in/estheryebenes/)** She’s sharing 20 years of "everything will eventually break" wisdom and how architectures have shifted from on-premise to the cloud.
It’s a mix of technical deep-dives and networking. No corporate fluff… just real talk about SRE, architecture, and why simplicity is usually the savior.
**🎤 AGENDA HERE**
* 18:00: Doors open
* 18:15: Esther on 20 years of infrastructure lessons.
* 18:45: Florencia on building resilient systems at Glovo scale.
* 19:10: Open Q&A
* 19:30: Networking.
If you’re into cloud, DevOps, or just want to hear some stories about avoiding system failure, come hang out.

**🎙️Talks**
**From Chaos to Marketplace: A Practical Guide to Sharing AI Agent Best Practices at Scale (In English)**
AI coding agents are transforming how we build software, but getting your whole engineering organization to benefit from them is harder than it looks. At Kovant, we learned this the hard way, going through four stages of trial and error before landing on something that actually works at scale. In this talk, Kovant's CTO will share the honest story behind that journey and reveal the approach that finally made it click for our teams.
*By Dror Asaf, CTO and Co-founder*
**Claude in Red Team and Blue Team Mode: From Breaking Things to Putting Out Fires (In Spanish)**
A practical talk on how to use Claude for reconnaissance and early phases of pentesting (red team), as well as a technical aid for incident analysis (blue team).
This talk explores what it truly means to be a hacker, separating myths from reality, and dives into a hands-on lab using Claude Code, covering setup, context, and operational rules. We introduce MCP as the interface that enables models to interact with tools, and walk through real testing targets and methodologies. Through practical exercises, we demonstrate how to identify web vulnerabilities, interpret Nmap outputs to prioritize risks and define next steps, and finally how Claude Code can also support defensive strategies, showing its value for both red and blue team scenarios.
*By Joaquín Gamiz Delgado, Security Engineer, Content Creator & Instructor*

**🎙️ Charlas**
**Del Caos al Marketplace: Una guía práctica para compartir agentes IA con buenas prácticas de escalado (en Inglés)**
Los agentes de programación con IA están transformando la forma en que desarrollamos software, pero lograr que toda tu organización de ingeniería se beneficie de ellos es más difícil de lo que parece. En Kovant, lo aprendimos por las malas, pasando por cuatro etapas de prueba y error antes de dar con algo que realmente funciona a escala.
En esta charla, el CTO de Kovant compartirá la historia sincera detrás de ese recorrido y revelará el enfoque que finalmente hizo que funcionara para nuestros equipos.
*Por Dror Asaf, CTO and Co-founder*
**Claude en modo red team y blue team: de repartir leña a sacar el extintor (en Español)**
Una charla práctica sobre cómo usar Claude en tareas de reconocimiento y fases iniciales de un pentesting (red team), y también como apoyo técnico para analizar incidentes (blue team).
Esta charla explora qué significa realmente ser hacker, desmontando mitos y conceptos erróneos, y se adentra en un laboratorio práctico con Claude Code, cubriendo su configuración, el contexto y las reglas de uso. Se introduce MCP como el mecanismo que permite a los modelos interactuar con herramientas, y se recorren distintos objetivos y metodologías de testing. A través de ejercicios prácticos, se muestra cómo detectar vulnerabilidades en una web, interpretar resultados de Nmap para priorizar riesgos y definir siguientes pasos, y finalmente cómo Claude Code también puede apoyar al blue team, demostrando su valor tanto en escenarios ofensivos como defensivos.

Building Scalable Customer Identity Resolution Pipelines on AWS Using AI
Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs.
This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context.
We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing.

In-Person Event: The Answers to Depression & Anxiety
This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them.
Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance".
Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you.
The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life.
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life.
Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.
This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.
