Becoming a Mendix Architect: The Path, the Mindset, and the Practice
Architecture isn’t a job title—it’s a way of thinking and making decisions. 🧠
In this meetup, you’ll discover how you (from junior to senior) can grow architectural skills and create lasting impact.
As Mendix developers, we’re trained to move fast and deliver value. 🚀
But Mendix has evolved into a mature enterprise platform, used for increasingly complex and business-critical solutions.
As applications grow into landscapes—with more teams, integrations, security requirements, and quality expectations—delivery alone isn’t enough.
That’s where architectural thinking comes in:
• making trade-offs explicit
• designing for change
• creating guardrails that keep teams productive
This meetup explores the path toward becoming a Mendix architect from two complementary perspectives.
🔹 **Zooming in:**
What architecture really means in practice, how the architect role differs from senior development, and how you can start creating architectural impact—regardless of your current level.
🔹 **Zooming out:**
How Mendix is positioned compared to buying off-the-shelf software, traditional development, and other low-code platforms like PowerApps.
We’ll also look ahead at how Mendix fits into the future of software development, including its role in Agentic AI and how it compares to AI-generated code.
You’ll leave with:
• a clearer architectural mindset
• a shared vocabulary
• practical examples
• strategic context you can immediately apply in refinements, design sessions, or technical reviews 🎯
***
**What you’ll learn**
• What architecture is (and isn’t): mindset, responsibilities, and outcomes
• The progression from junior → medior → senior → architect
• Making better decisions in Mendix: modularization, integration strategy, security-by-design, performance
• How architects enable teams through principles, guardrails, and governance—without slowing delivery
• How Mendix is positioned as an enterprise platform versus traditional code, packaged software, and other low-code options
• How Mendix fits into the future of AI-driven development, including Agentic AI and AI-generated code
• Practical takeaways: review checklists and a next-steps roadmap you can start tomorrow 🛠️
***
**Audience**
Anyone building Mendix solutions—from curious juniors to experienced seniors and tech leads. 👥
***
**Agenda**
• 18:00 – 19:00 🍽️ Dinner
(for in-person attendees only—don’t forget to RSVP with your dietary requirements!)
• 19:00 – 20:00 🎙️ Presentations by the speakers, followed by Q&A
• 20:00 – 21:00 🍻 Drinks & Networking
***
**Speakers**
🎤 Zefanja Kleuters – Sopra Steria
Mendix Expert with a broad range of experience in both development and architecture.
🎤 Andreas Lennevi – Mendix
Mendix Lead Architect, sharing the broader enterprise positioning of Mendix and its role in the future of software development.

Geopolitics/Géopolitique/ژئوپلیتیک/Геополитика/גאופוליטיקה
This is a **recurring weekly gathering** of open-minded people who want to understand geopolitics **without confirmation bias**.
We are not here to repeat talking points, defend camps, or feel morally validated.
We are here to **listen, compare perspectives, and learn** — especially from people who come from, live in, or are directly affected by the regions being discussed.
Each week, we look at **current and long-term geopolitical issues**, including conflicts rarely covered or oversimplified by Western media.
**Topics We Cover**
Our discussions focus on **current and long-term geopolitical issues**, including conflicts rarely covered or oversimplified by Western media, sovereignty, and reality as it is, not as it is marketed. We approach geopolitics and society from a realist, sovereignty-first perspective, skeptical of globalist ideology and media **groupthink**. The aim is to understand interests, incentives, history, law, and consequences — not to rehearse fashionable outrage.
**Examples of topics we regularly examine include:**
**1\. Venezuela & Cuba**
Sanctions, regime survival, sovereignty, and how U.S. policy, energy interests, and regional power dynamics shape outcomes in Latin America — beyond Cold War clichés.
**2\. Ukraine\, Cyprus & European Borders**
Frozen conflicts, divided territories, and how international law is selectively applied when sovereignty clashes with strategic interests.
**3\. Iran\, Gaza\, Syria & Lebanon**
The Middle East beyond slogans: proxy wars, regional balances, sectarian fault lines, sanctions, militias, state collapse, and why Western media framing often obscures long-term realities.
**4\. Congo \(DRC\) & Resource Wars**
How minerals, supply chains, and foreign interests fuel instability in Africa — and why some of the deadliest conflicts on earth barely make the news.
**5\. Taiwan\, Greenland & Strategic Geography**
Why islands, trade routes, chokepoints, and remote territories matter enormously in a multipolar world — and how geography shapes power more than ideology ever will.
**What Makes This Different**
– We prioritize **voices from affected regions**: Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe, Asia
– We examine **what Western media doesn’t tell, doesn’t show, or doesn’t contextualize**
– We welcome **new ideas, uncomfortable facts, and disagreement**
– We focus on power, interests, culture, history, economics — not slogans
**This is not a safe space for ideology.**
**It *is* a safe space for honest thinking.**
In Brussels, there are already debate initiatives that offer structured discussions. Too often, however, a small circle curates skewed propositions and narrows the range of acceptable conclusions, turning moderation into gatekeeping .
There are also plenty of spaces dedicated to repeating anti-American slogans or reducing complex geopolitics to partisan outrage. This forum is not one of them.
Our approach is different. **We welcome genuine diversity of opinion and lived experience.** No one here will be cancelled, banned, or shamed for challenging dominant narratives. Ideas are debated openly; personal attacks and defamation are not tolerated.
**Motions & Proposals Welcome**
We actively encourage participants to propose motions for debate.
If you suggest a motion, please do so with substance: a clear claim, basic historical or legal grounding, and an understanding of the stakes involved. Motions designed to provoke thinking are welcome; motions designed to score points or repeat media talking points are not.
**Languages**
The language of discussion will depend on the participants present.
Debates are typically held in English and French, but we are comfortable switching or accommodating other languages when the moderation team can support it.
Languages we can currently handle include:
– English
– French
– Dutch
– Spanish
– Italian
– Russian
– Farsi
The goal is understanding, not linguistic purity. When needed, participants may clarify or translate key points to ensure everyone can follow the discussion.
If you speak more than one language, that’s an asset here
### **What We Ask of Participants**
– Come to understand, not to perform or “win”
– Be genuinely open to **new ideas and perspectives**, especially those that challenge your own
– Speak from **knowledge**, not slogans — history, law, and context matter
– If you bring a topic, come prepared: facts, timelines, sources, and legal or historical grounding are encouraged
– Argue **ideas**, never individuals
– No censorship of viewpoints
– No personal attacks
– No defamation or accusations against individuals
**Strong disagreement is not only accepted — it is expected.**
**Intellectual laziness is not.**
**This is not a dating meetup.**
Not every social space exists for flirting, hitting on people, or testing romantic opportunities.
Anyone who treats this forum as a dating pool, approaches others with unwanted advances, or assumes participation implies romantic availability is misunderstanding the purpose of this group.
Conversation comes first. Ideas come first. Respect comes first.
If you are here primarily to date, pursue, or pressure others, this is not the right space for you.
Boundaries are enforced. Discomfort is taken seriously.
**Those who ignore this will be immediately asked to leave.**
**Location & RSVP**
The event will take place in Ixelles, in a public bar.
To keep the discussion safe, focused, and accountable, the exact venue will be shared only with confirmed RSVPs via our WhatsApp chat.
Depending on the final size of the group, we have several appropriate and secure venue options in the area.
This allows us to:
– Adapt the venue to the group size
– Avoid disruptive or bad-faith behavior common to fully open meetups
– Prevent meetup creeps and repeat offenders
– Ensure everyone present respects the rules of conduct
👉 To RSVP and receive the location:
**https://chat.whatsapp.com/LX7UkWGZ3UdLQWLBvNdezN**
The goal is not exclusivity, but accountability and quality of discussion.
If this format doesn’t suit you, this event may not be the right fit.
Deep Conversation-- Question Chosen in Session
Welcome to our weekly event in the upstairs room of The Sister Café, rue Chair et Pain 3, one block from the Grand Place. Please get there early enough to order your drink at the bar first. Thank you!
After introductions we will collect questions from the group participants, choose one by voting then discuss it for an hour. Then most of us stay for drinks and bizarre conversations.
Past questions have been wide and not confined to academic philosophy:
What is a genuine friend?
Is social media turning us into emotional zombies?
Do we lose some of the experience of things by defining them?
Are we driven by sex?
Is loneliness a personal failure?
Is morality relative?
**Crucially, be kind and respectful and generous** in your disagreements; remember how much you personally enjoy someone else proving you wrong before celebrating your cutting counterexamples.
Briller en société ou être en paix avec soi : faut-il tuer son égo ? Café philo
**Est-il possible de réussir sa vie sans passer son temps à la mettre en scène ?**
Nous vivons dans l'ère du "Moi" triomphant. Entre la pression de la performance professionnelle et l’image idéale que nous projetons sur les réseaux sociaux, notre égo est devenu un tyran domestique : il veut toujours avoir raison, être admiré, et redoute par-dessus tout d'être ignoré.
Mais à quel prix ? Cette course à la reconnaissance nous laisse souvent épuisés, anxieux et, paradoxalement, déconnectés des autres.
**Et si le secret d'une vie apaisée résidait dans l'art de "relativiser" ce Moi encombrant ?**
Lors de ce dialogue philosophique, nous irons au-delà des apparences pour explorer :
* **Le piège de la reconnaissance :** Pourquoi avons-nous si peur de ne pas "briller" ?
* **La force du retrait :** S'effacer un peu, est-ce une faiblesse ou une liberté suprême ?
* **Les pistes de sagesse :** Ce que les philosophies d'Orient et d'Occident nous enseignent pour apprivoiser ce "Moi" qui nous gouverne.
Pas besoin d'être un expert en philosophie pour participer. Venez avec votre vécu, vos doutes et votre envie de débattre dans un esprit de bienveillance et d'écoute.
✨ **Venez tester une nouvelle manière d'être au monde, où la paix intérieure compte enfin plus que le regard des autres.**
***
**Infos pratiques :**
* **Tarif :** 5€ (boisson comprise)
* **Esprit :** Échange ouvert, respectueux et accessible à tous.
Meet and make new friends in Brussels
Making new friends in a new city doesn’t need to be a struggle at all.
Non-fiction Book Club: "Your Inner Fish" by Neil Shubin
Let's read and discuss non-fiction together.
In **March** we will be discussing "Your Inner Fish: a Journey into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body" by Neil Shubin.
For more information about the book check out goodreads:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1662160.Your_Inner_Fish
How it works:
- 10-15min Introduction round
- 1 - 1,5h Free discussion around the book
- 10min selection of the next book. (We will vote between three possible books. I bring two suggestions and we select a third one from the group. So if there is a book you like to discuss feel free to put it forward.)
Don't worry if you cannot finish it in time. Just join us for a coffee or tea and a good conversation. :)
Happy reading!
Arguable Authenticity - The Brussels Philosophy Meetup
It is no secret that throughout the history of the (western) world, the individual has played more and more of a central role. When it comes to morality for example, we rarely talk about virtue, duty or the cosmic order, but mostly about pleasure, pain, human rights, … things that pertain to individual persons.
During this meetup we'll discuss what came along for the ride: an idolization of authenticity.
Why is “Be yourself” such an attractive slogan and what does it mean? Is being authentic always better or can it be dangerous? Are populists and extremists not the most authentic politicians?
If we then consider the rise of synthetic materials, plastic surgery, virtual reality and artificial intelligence, is authenticity doomed? Is the popularity of "Reality TV" and online influencers not a sign that authenticity can be gamed? What is the difference between something/someone seeming authentic and actually being authentic?
Or was authenticity an illusion all along? What (in)forms this self we need to be true to? How can we trust our own interpretation of ourselves?
Come and join this philosophical conversation as you are - and try to arrive on time so you can get a drink before we start :)
