English Conversation (Bohnice, Praha 8)
English Conversation (Bohnice, Praha 8)
Hi all! My name is Cara, and I am a native English speaker from America living in Prague. This a meet up for t**hose learning English as a second language** and want the **opportunity to practice**. It will be a fun and relaxed setting where we will play games to **promote English conversations** or have some kind of activity. This club will meet **every other (two Mondays each month) Monday evening.** The goal is for each person to walk away having learned new English words and have more confidence when speaking in English. Please, bring some money if you want to purchase a coffee from Evento. **This event is sponsored by a church.** The church that sponsors this English meet up is **Církev bratrská, Bohnice** [https://www.cbbohnice.cz](https://www.cbbohnice.cz/) . We want to live lives that are reflective of Jesus. Like Jesus we want to help others in meeting a practical need, in this case that would be speaking in English. At the end of the English club, we will extend an invite to anyone who is interested in exploring faith, wants to know more about Jesus, or wants to meet up to read from the Bible. However, we will never trick you into attending and will always be honest about the content of our meetings. *You do not have to attend religious events to be a part of English Club.*

Prague's Newest SciFi Book Club (English-language)
Prague's Newest SciFi Book Club (English-language)
**Welcome Sci-fi Enthusiasts in Prague.** 📚Our March 2026 Book Pick is **"Roadside Picnic"** by Arkady Strugatsk & Boris Strugatsky. **Summary (via Amazon)** 👽Red Schuhart is a stalker, one of those young rebels who are compelled, in spite of extreme danger, to venture illegally into the Zone to collect the mysterious artifacts that the alien visitors left scattered around. His life is dominated by the place and the thriving black market in the alien products. But when he and his friend Kirill go into the Zone together to pick up a “full empty,” something goes wrong. And the news he gets from his girlfriend upon his return makes it inevitable that he’ll keep going back to the Zone, again and again, until he finds the answer to all his problems. **Structure** * Book Club starts at 7:00pm and runs through 8:30pm. * Social time from 8:30 - 9:00pm. * No prep needed, just show up with an open mind and heart. * We gather up on the balcony level. * All are welcomed even if you haven't finished the book pick. **Mindstock** If time allows, we can also briefly discuss the writer's journey and techno-thriller, Mindstock by author and co-host, Richard Yonck.

Akce se koná **on-site v centru Prahy**, přesné místo konání obdrží registrovaní účastníci přibližně týden před konáním akce. **Formulář k registraci:** [Kliknutím zde se přesměrujete na registrační formulář k meetupu.](https://forms.zohopublic.com/zohopeople1145/form/TesenaTelcoBusinessBreakfast/formperma/IR2uUVV2R_peUlT5wTiH05iBl_FA063dCKA2ZjGatT4) ***Účast je bezplatná, počet míst je omezen.*** *** **Hlavní přínosy** Účastí na Tesena Telco Business Breakfast získáte: * nový pohled na řízení kvality softwaru v prostředí rostoucích nároků na rychlost dodávky * inspiraci pro efektivnější spolupráci mezi businessem, vývojem a testingem * praktické příklady využití moderních přístupů k testování a Quality Engineeringu * přehled možností využití AI nástrojů v testerských aktivitách * možnost sdílení zkušeností s odborníky z telco prostředí *** **Program** **8:30 - 9:00** Příchod účastníků, snídaně a neformální networking **9:00 - 9:05** Úvodní slovo Jiří Novák, CEO Tesena **9:05 - 9:35** [EN] Struggling to Get Software Live? Phil Royston **9:35 - 9:55** Coffee break a networking **9:55 - 10:25** [CZ] Jak agenti pomáhají v testingu Miroslav Renda **10:25 - 11:00** Závěrečná diskuse a networking *** **Témata a přednášející** *** **[EN] Struggling to Get Software Live?** Delays in testing? Last-minute defects? Painful releases? Frustrated business stakeholders? Customer complaints? Many organisations try to fix this by “improving testing”. But here's a secret: better testing can often make things slower and more expensive. So what’s really going wrong? At this Business Breakfast, we’ll explore why release problems are often not a problem in testing. In an increasingly unpredictable marketplace, with competitors challenging from all sides, and customers demanding more and more, we are all under pressure to continuously deliver new features quickly and cheaply. Under this sort of pressure, quality sometimes gets pushed to one side, as leaders focus on time and money. That is until you get to testing, when it's the poor quality that you have accumulated that slows you down, costs you money and makes your hair go grey. The way to achieve speed and reduce costs is to build in quality at every step of the delivery lifecycle. These are the proven principles of quality engineering that are the foundations of the high-performing DevOps teams in the world's most successful companies. Their laser focus on quality makes them competitive. The good news is that you can get the same results in whatever SDLC model you are following. Even waterfall. In the talk we will explain why the test phase can become a bottleneck and why that wastes a lot of time and money. We will then explain how testing, if applied smartly in the right places, can actually reduce waste and smooth the flow of your team's work - enabling you to shorten time to market, improve customer and stakeholder satisfaction, and increase your ROI. **O přednášejícím** **Phil Royston** Po své cestě v IT světě\, která začala koncem 80\. let\, v roce 2002 prakticky spadl do světa testování softwaru\. Od té doby se neohlédl zpět a stále miluje to co dělá\. V roce 2013 spoluzaložil společnost Tesena \| Smart Testing s mírně ambiciózním\, ale velmi vážně zamýšleným cílem změnit svět testování softwaru\. Rád spolupracuje s našimi klienty\, aby jim pomohl vyřešit problémy s testováním a kvalitou softwaru na individuální\, týmové\, skupinové a organizační úrovni\. Kromě svého závazku zvyšovat kvalitu softwaru se věnuje také vzdělávání a profesnímu rozvoji\. Jako lektor kurzů předává své rozsáhlé znalosti a zkušenosti a formuje další generaci IT profesionálů\. Phil pravidelně sdílí to\, co se naučil jako řečník\, na konferencích\, čímž dále přispívá k růstu a vývoji odvětví\. *** **[CZ] Jak agenti pomáhají v testingu** AI pomocníci rychle pronikají do všech oblastí našich životů, testing nevyjímaje. V krátkých praktických ukázkách představíme v manažerské úrovni detailu konkrétní scénáře, kde nástroje jako Copilot Studio a Rovo automatizují klíčové činnosti v SDLC, na nichž se podílejí testerské role. Od review specifikací přes tvorbu akceptačních kritérií až po generování testovacích případů přímo z Jiry a Confluence. Představíme snadno uchopitelné náměty pro nastartování či prohloubení vaší AI transformace. **O přednášejícím** **Miroslav Renda** Mirek se pohybuje v různých projektových rolích v IT businessu více než 25 let. Posledních 8 let si v roli test managera užíval zajímavé projekty ve velkých českých bankách a v oblasti automotive. Je spolupachatelem knihy Efektivní testování softwaru vydané nakladatelstvím GRADA. Miluje své dvě děti, přírodu a sport v jakékoli podobě.
Ackee Meets: Agentic Web Development (Frontend & Backend)
Ackee Meets: Agentic Web Development (Frontend & Backend)
**Ackee meets: Vol. 4 *Agentic Web Development* je tady! 🤘** 2026 jsme vyhlásili jako rok *Ackee Multiverse.* ✨🔮 Po předchozím meetupu Mobile Developmentu pokračuje dalším crossoverem – **Frontend & Backend**. ⚔️ *BE-FE,* nebo chcete-li *FULLSTACK*. V době AI. AI už dávno není jen tajný našeptávač. Pomalu se z ní stává kolega, který má přístup k repozitáři, chápe kontext a občas zvládne kus práce rychleji než plný kancl. Otázka už není, jestli AI ve vývoji používat, ale jak moc ji *pustit k řízení*. Přijďte na další Ackee Meets, kde si projdeme **konkrétní setup AI agentů**, rozdíly ve **workflow mezi Cursorem a Claude Code**, a taky to, **jak přestat používat AI každý po svém** a začít z toho dělat sdílené know-how. 👉 Žádná teorie z učebnic, jen **čistá praxe, fuckupy a zkušenosti** z první linie Ackee projektů. 🚫 **Kapacita je omezená – registrujte se zdarma přes [Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1984893095681?aff=oddtdtcreator).** Interakce tady na meetupu nestačí. **CO NÁS ČEKÁ:** 📣 **Přepis appky za týden pomocí AI** 🎤 **Bekhzod Masharipov**, *vibe kodér zadní části* & **Martin Foldyna**, *vibe kodér přední části* Měli jsme interní nástroj, který fungoval, ale zároveň nás brzdil. Technologický důchodce. Legacy kód, na který se roky nesahalo, protože „to přece běží“ a „nemáme kapacity“. No… až do chvíle, kdy jsme mu pustili AI žíly. S pomocí AI agentů jsme ho za 7 dní dostali na současný stack a přidali nové features, o kterých se mu půl století ani nezdálo. Ukážeme konkrétní setup, který jsme použili, jak jsme agenty nastavili a i to – kde to bolelo. **📣 Claude Code vs Cursor** **🎤 Tomáš Buňata,** *vývojář zadní části* AI nástroje pro vývojáře nejsou jen „lepší autocomplete“. Liší se. A ne, není to jenom o tom, kdo má větší kontextové okno. Jde o úplně jiný mentální model práce. Cursor je IDE parťák pro rychlou iteraci, kontrolované diffy a okamžitou zpětnou vazbu. Claude Code je naopak autonomní agent v terminálu, který zvládne větší úkoly napříč repozitářem. Ukážeme si rozdíly ve workflow, práci s kontextem i míru důvěry, kterou těmto nástrojům musíme dát. A hlavně – kdy zůstat v IDE a kdy delegovat práci agentovi. **📣 Od osobních promptů ke kolektivnímu know-how** **🎤** **Petr Hovorka,** *vývojář přední části* AI dneska používá každý. Ale každý jinak. Někdo má svoje tajné promptovací finty, jiný bastlí custom instrukce, další si hraje s temperature a system messages. A všichni si to hlídáme jako poklad. Téma otevře otázku, jestli si prompty a skilly nechávat pro sebe, nebo z nich dělat sdílené know-how napříč projekty. Řeč bude hlavně o tom, jak sdílení uchopit tak, aby fungovalo v praxi. Zazní i to, co má smysl sdílet, a kde je lepší zůstat u indivindy přístupu. * 🗓️ **Kdy**: 31. 3. 2026 od 17:00 * 📍 **Kde**: Ackee, Block Karlín, 6. patro * **💸 Za kolik:** Zdarma **Program:** * **17:00** 🚪 Vstup * **17:30** 1️⃣ Bekhzod Masharipov & Martin Foldyna: Přepis appky za týden pomocí AI * **18:00** 2️⃣ Tomáš Buňata: Claude Code vs Curso * **18:30** 3️⃣ Petr Hovorka: Od osobních promptů ke kolektivnímu know-how * **19:00** 🍕 Networking * **21:00** 🔚 Konec akce, jde se domů! 🚫 **Kapacita je omezená – registrujte se zdarma přes [Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1984893095681?aff=oddtdtcreator).** Interakce tady na meetupu nestačí. Těšíme se! 🤙 *V průběhu akce můžeme pořizovat a dále zpracovávat foto a video záznamy. Pokud si nepřejete, abychom vás fotili nebo natáčeli, dejte nám prosím vědět před začátkem akce.*

138. [pro:]TEST! Dashboard nestačí: jak v testingu měřit to, 
co opravdu pomáhá
**Anotace přednášky:** Většina QA týmů se topí ve spoustě dat, ale málokdo dokáže skutečně říct: tato data nám skutečně pomáhají rozhodovat. Přestaňte stavět obří dashboardy, které nikdo nečte. V této přednášce si ukážeme, jak rozklíčovat chaos mezi metrikami, KPI a OKR. Zjistíte, jak vybrat ukazatele, které reálně snižují rizika a zvyšují důvěru v každou dodanou verzi. Probereme konkrétní rozdíly v měření pro agilní týmy i robustní enterprise QA a ukážeme si, jak nastavit systém, který skutečně zrychluje delivery. **O speakerovi:** **Saša Zejnilović** zastává roli Lead Data Engineer v ABSA. Do ABSA nastoupil před 7 lety jako QA. Celkově má v IT 11 let zkušeností. Působí jako lektor ve společnosti Tredgate. Vedl také týmy 30+ lidí a pomáhal mnoha projektům. V srdci ale nadále zůstává testerem. Těšíme se - organizátoři [Pro:]Test! **Meetup probíhá pouze osobně bez streamování.

Contra dance with Big Scioty April 11 - Clinton Heights Lutheran church
Contra dance with Big Scioty April 11 - Clinton Heights Lutheran church
**Caller: Kim Thompson** **Band: Full Moon Country Dance Orchestra** **Clinton Heights Lutheran Church** **15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle.

Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.
Free in-person event: Take Control of Your Mental Health
Free in-person event: Take Control of Your Mental Health
It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.

Take Control Of Your Life, Freedom From Negative Thoughts & Irrational Emotions
Take Control Of Your Life, Freedom From Negative Thoughts & Irrational Emotions
Feeling down? Sometimes depressed? Can't focus? Negativity & stress? Recent losses? Creativity in career and personal life hindered by mental blocks? Sometimes we never fully recover from traumatic experiences. Whether it was yesterday, last week or a year ago, traumatic experiences - a loss of a loved one, losing a job, a breakup - can leave you scarred. You talk about it and feel a little better, but it never goes away. After you hang up the phone, it's still there; the sadness, the cloud, the over-thinking, the worry, the guilt. You try to focus, but you're blocked. You try to look forward into new experiences, new relationships but a cloud is hanging over you, casting a shadow on what you once considered a bright, cheerful future. What happened to your courage? Your strength of character? You're 'why not' attitude? Whoever said 'time heals' must have had a special time machine, because after weeks, months, years, you're wondering - when exactly does that kick in? Sometimes it seems like drinking or drugs are the way to go. But they wear off, and now the problem is still there with added side effects from the drugs. At this free local Meetup event we will talk about: * What causes grief, anxiety and depression to become chronic. * Is it possible to regain your joy and happiness even after traumatic experiences? * How to break away from negativity and focus on the future * What are the steps to take to get control of your mind and your emotions? Learn about a safe, gentle, do-it-yourself counseling that can be done in the comfort of your own home. Let's explore safe, effective solutions for healing from traumatic experiences. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center.
