Creative Writing Budapest
**This week's venue: Beer People \| Lázár utca 7\, Budapest 1065**
We hold a bi-weekly workshop to encourage creative writing where we share pieces of creative writing and solicit feedback from the other attendees.
Some members also use the forum to find others with whom to collaborate, edit work, and/or brainstorm plot, themes, settings, and so forth. And from time to time, we participate in competitions, recite and/or offer material for events organized by other groups.
At the moment there is no prompt for this particular meetup.
Instead, writers are invited to submit something they have (or are working on) or to craft a short story specifically for the event.
Of course, there's no pressure to submit something. Many participants are interested in hearing ideas, questioning the authors, and examining style and technique. Often, we explore other published works as well.
The submission guidelines are as follows:
1. limit the piece to 850 words (to give enough time for any other submissions being read at the event);
2. make the text available (though you can read it aloud) for the other attendees. Many authors bring a few printed copies, but one can also pre-post the item on [bpcw.slack.com](http://bpcw.slack.com) in the "_NextMeetup" channel (write me at eahofer (at) gmail if you aren't a member already);
3. have a question in mind for the group about the submission; and,
4. If offering something from a longer work, be prepared to give a little bit of background first.

Teszt és Tea @evosoft – 2026 Március - A Teáskannától a Teszt Architektúráig
Sziasztok!
Nagy örömel várunk titeket a következő Teszt és Tea alkalmunkra
**FONTOS RÉSZLETEK:**
Ez alkalommal az evosoft Hungary Kft. vendégei leszünk. Az esemény gördülékenysége érdekében ezért az alábbiakra figyeljetek:
* Maximum **100 fő** fog tudni jelentkezni a meetupra
* A **meetup appot** használjátok kérlek
* A jelentkezés során kérlek használjátok a **valódi neveteket** (ettől függ, hogy be tudtok-e jutni majd az irodába)
* **Jelentkezni március 17.-én napvégéig tudtok!**
Erre az estére egy különleges téma csokorral készülünk nektek: megnézzük, milyen furcsaságok alakították a szoftvertesztelés múltját, majd fejest ugrunk a jövőbe, hogy kiderítsük, ki is az a Test Architect, és hogyan navigálhatunk magabiztosan ebben az új világban.
**Az este agendája:**
* **Fekete Attila: Új ISTQB minősítések a modern tesztelésben**
Attila röviden bemutatja az újdonságokat az ISTQB certifikációk világában.
* **Mészár Imola: A teáskanna, az Evil Bit és más tesztelői rémálmok**
Mi a közös a HTTP 418-ban, az Evil Bitben és a Caps Lock-ban? Valódi szoftvertörténetek, amelyek sokkal többet árulnak el a tesztelői gondolkodásról, mint bármelyik tankönyv. Ebben az előadásban a szándékos „hibákon", rejtett állapotokon és etikai dilemmákon keresztül járjuk körbe azt a kérdést, amit minden QA-nak fel kellene tennie: nem az, hogy „működik-e" – hanem hogy kinek, és milyen feltételezésekre építve.
* **Bolyhos Csaba és Csépe Zsombor: A Tesztelés Múltja és Jövője**
A szoftvertesztelés már rég nem csak hibakeresés. A modern rendszerek világában a minőség tudatosan tervezett architektúra eredménye – ahol a Teszt Architect a pipeline, a döntések és a minőségkultúra építője. Megmutatjuk, hogyan változik ez a szerep a DevOps, a microservice-ek és az AI korszakában.
Várunk mindenkit, aki szeretné megismerni a tesztarchitektek világát, vagy csak szívesen beszélgetne egy jót a szakma jelenéről és jövőjéről!

Dinner & a Movie: PROJECT HAIL MARY at Marcus Pickerington!
Join us as we get together to see Ryan Gosling and Sandra Huller in the highly anticipated sci-fi adventure, PROJECT HAIL MARY! The film is based on the best-selling novel of The Martian and follows a man who awakens on a spacecraft before realizing his mission to save Earth. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: A science teacher wakes up on a spaceship, light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission to save the Earth. The film is directed by the filmmaking due Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (21 and 22 Jump Street, Into and Across the Spider-Verse) and is based on the 2021 novel by Andy Weir (The Martian). The film stars Ryan Gosling, Sandra Huller (Anatomy of a Fall, The Zone of Interest), Lionel Boyce, Milana Vayntrub and Ken Leung.
TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VYsnngkS_U
BUZZ AND REVIEWS: The buzz and reviews for PROJECT HAIL MARY are off-the-charts good! The film is earning a 95% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where critics call it an “old school blockbuster crowd-pleaser” and “a new sci-fi classic!” It’s “deeply hopeful,” well-acted,” funny,” “dramatic,” and “exceptionally rousing throughout!” Others call it “something truly magical” and one that “we’ll be talking about this one for decades to come!” And I believe Slashfilm says it best: “It will lift up and squeeze your heart, crack you up with laughter, and give you a sense of hope and wonder in a way that few movies have been able to inspire.”
MOVIE PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 2:30pm SuperScreen DLX showing and meet in the lobby area between 2:05 and 2:15pm! Tickets already on sale and will likely move fast for this hot ticket / opening weekend showing so advance ticket purchase as soon as possible is advised! Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments section of this event. As a head’s up, this is a longer movie at 2hrs 36mins.
DINNER PLAN: Dinner immediately following the movie at 5:30pm at group favorite, FUGU SUSHI, located just next door! Separate RSVP required for the Dinner / Movie portions of this event. An RSVP here means you're signed up for the MOVIE! This portion will be open as long as seats remain. If you also plan to join for dinner, please also RSVP in the separate event listing for the dinner portion of this event.
Should be a good one, Dan
Columbus Comedy Improv Meetup at Gresso's!
Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games!
The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime!
Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!
