The Mental Peace lab is a weekly meditation class where you get to tune in to peaceful mental states, which is the core of Buddhist meditation. Different approaches allow to do this, which we'll explore together. The class each time consists of a guided meditation, a practical and interactive Buddhist teaching and concludes with a nice collective meditation that draws from this teaching. After this, for those who wish, tea is served and we can chat :) The class is taught in English by an experienced meditator and translated sequentially into Greek. Wearing confortable clothes is advised. Seating is on chairs or on cushions. There is a suggested donation of 5 EUR which can be paid in cash or by REVOLUT/IRIS. Hoping to welcome you !

We are pleased to bring you two talks this time. This event will be held in the offices of our sponsor [Plum](https://withplum.com/gr-gr), Stadiou 3a, Athina 105 62. **1st talk:** "Working with Kubeflow: A cloud-native machine learning platform for Kubernetes" by [Manos Vlassis](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mvlassis/) **Abstract:** Kubeflow is the foundation of tools for AI platforms on Kubernetes. The platform itself is composable, modular, portable, and scalable, backed by an ecosystem of Kubernetes-native projects for each stage of the AI lifecycle. This talk explores the architecture of Kubeflow, the advantages it offers to engineers and scientists, and a use case of how it can be used to speed up processes. **Presenter:** Manos is a Software Engineer at Canonical, working at the Machine Learning Operators (MLOps) team. He is working on a distribution of Kubeflow to facilitate machine learning workflows on Kubernetes-based systems. **2nd talk:** "ingress-nginx is archived: How we migrated to kgateway (and Didn’t Break Prod)" by [Konstantinos Stavropoulos](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kostavro/) **Abstract:** With ingress-nginx being archived in March 2026, Plum's SRE team used it as an opportunity to migrate to kgateway - a CNCF-backed Gateway API implementation chosen after benchmarking several alternatives. The 12-week migration relied on running both controllers in parallel, building custom Loki-based observability before cutover, and using staging to catch breaking differences like stricter path matching and a shorter default timeout. The result was zero production incidents and zero customer-facing downtime across all migrated services. **Presenter:** Konstantinos Stavropoulos is the SRE Lead at Plum, where he leads the team responsible for the reliability and evolution of the company's infrastructure. With a background spanning fintech, cybersecurity, and logistics across Greece and the Netherlands, he specialises in Kubernetes, CI/CD, cloud-native infrastructure, and security - with a proven track record of leading complex migrations from legacy stacks to modern, cloud-native architectures. Beyond hands-on engineering, Konstantinos is a community builder who delivers internal workshops and mentors teams through technical and leadership growth.

The first Epic meet-up is officially happening. On Friday, June 26th, we’re opening our doors and inviting you to our offices at 4 Syntagmatarchou Davaki Street, Athens 115 26, 1st floor, from 19:00 to 21:00.

We look forward to welcoming you. RSVP is required.

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.
