Are you learning Spanish and feel that you need more conversation but are shy to speak? Here you will meet beginners and intermediate and we all will make mistakes in our Spanish communication so it will be just fun! Simply come and enjoy your conversation with the friendly broken Spanish talking group! Sometimes we will meet in some cozy café, sometimes we may go for a walk or some Spanish culture related event. ¿Estás aprendiendo español y sientes que necesitas más conversación pero te da vergüenza hablar? Aquí conocerás a principiantes e intermedios y todos cometeremos errores en nuestra communicación en español, así que será simplemente divertido. ¡Ven y disfruta de tu conversación con el grupo amigable de habla de español roto! A veces nos vemos en algún café acogedor, otras veces podemos dar un paseo o algún evento relacionado con la cultura española. For half of the Spanish here I used translator so if some of the Spanish words above sound weird to you, feel free to blame Google Translate :)

**Welcome Sci-fi Enthusiasts!** Our February 2026 Book Pick is **"Children of Time"** by Adrian Tchaikovsky **Summary (via Amazon)** Adrian Tchaikovksy's critically acclaimed stand-alone novel Children of Time is the epic story of humanity's battle for survival on a terraformed planet. Who will inherit this new Earth? The last remnants of the human race left a dying Earth, desperate to find a new home among the stars. Following in the footsteps of their ancestors, they discover the greatest treasure of the past age - a world terraformed and prepared for human life. But all is not right in this new Eden. In the long years since the planet was abandoned, the work of its architects has borne disastrous fruit. The planet is not waiting for them pristine and unoccupied. New masters have turned it from a refuge into mankind's worst nightmare. Now two civilizations are on a collision course, both testing the boundaries of what they will do to survive. As the fate of humanity hangs in the balance, who are the true heirs of this new Earth? **Discussion Guide** We will follow up with a discussion guide to help attendees prepare for this future conversation. **Structure** * Book Club starts at 7:00pm - 8:30pm. * Social time from 8:30 - 9:00pm. * No prep needed, just show up with an open mind and heart. * Meet us up on the balcony level. **Mindstock** If time allows, we can also briefly discuss the writer's journey and techno-thriller, Mindstock by author and co-host, Richard Yonck.

Dear Music Lovers, These events are meant for us, the Music Freaks, walking out there. There is a story about a guy who was playing the air drums while walking in broad daylight. Honestly, I do not remember even one second when I used my hands to express the rhythm while walking the streets. When people started to complain ("What the hell is he doing?")... well, I was a teenager, and I fell so hard in love with the music. Today, it is still the most honest trait in my life. Unfortunately, I still move my head and legs regardless of where I am (hopefully, I keep my arms still). (Disclaimer: I haven't been diagnosed with any me(n)tal illness, and for sure, I have no plans to make an appointment.) The other day, I saw a woman dancing in the street. I kept a good distance as her dancing was very wide (**Arms Wide Open**), and assuming she was a drug addict, felt like a fair assessment of reality. Then I got inside the train, and she changed from dancing to singing. From that moment, I kept my eyes on her. I didn't pull my earphones down to listen to her (my music was better, I knew that for sure), but her expression was so honest... she knew all the words, eyes closed, singing with a full and open mouth. **That was true, unconditional love for music**. I know I am not alone in this world. We do exist. We are honest. We live our lives as they truly belong to us, and we do not hesitate even when people laugh at us. **We do not live the life of other people**. Sincerely, Comes The Rain

Bitcoin Knots a podobné implementace se snaží vynucovat content policy na úrovni mempoolu a odmítají transakce považované za nežádoucí (označované za spam). Lukáš, náš expert na Rust a bitcoin, vám osvětlí tento problém v teorii i v praxi. **🦀 18:00 - 19:00: PREZENTACE** Tato přednáška vysvětluje, proč je filtrování transakcí na základě obsahu neúčinné v jakékoli vrstvě bitcoinového protokolového stacku. Představí dva vzájemně se doplňující argumenty. 1. Z pohledu topologie sítě: v gossip síti, kde i malá menšina uzlů zůstává permisivní, transakce s vysokou pravděpodobností obejdou filtrované uzly. 2. Z pohledu informační teorie: každý protokol, který je dostatečně expresivní, aby byl užitečný, nutně umožňuje steganografické kódování. Prostor platných transakcí je natolik velký, že do něj lze vložit libovolná data způsobem nerozlišitelným od běžné ekonomické aktivity. Filtrování na základě obsahu tak čelí protivníkovi s větším počtem stupňů volnosti než má samotný filtr. **🦀 19:00 - 19:30: LIVE DEMO + Q&A** Součástí prezentace bude živá ukázka agresivního relay uzlu napsaného v Rustu, běžícího na mainnetu, která v reálném čase ukáže tok transakcí napříč různými implementacemi uzlů. **🦀 19:30** **\- 22:00: NETWORKING** Po přibližně 60minutové prezentaci a Q&A zůstáváme na networking u piva, zhruba do 22:00. * **Vstup s registrací zdarma.** * **Pivo zdarma** pro prvních 50 hostů. * **Odměny** za nejlepší otázky. * **Knihy** od Braiins **zdarma**. **🦀 PŘEDNÁŠEJÍCÍ** Lukáš Hozda je expert na Rust, autor knihy Building Bitcoin in Rust a lektor Rust kurzů na Univerzitě Karlově.

🎓 **The Prague FrontEnd Meetup is back in 2026!** Join us on **the last** **Wednesday in February, 25th, at 5:00 PM** in the **Ataccama offices in Karlín** for another evening full of inspiration, great talks, and friendly networking. 👥✨ The lineup: Tomas Belada will be talking about OpenCode - a great open source AI agent. But the real power shows up once you sprinkle a bit of Greek mythology on top. In this talk, I’ll demo a plugin that turns OpenCode into a superpower, an end-to-end coding workflow. Pavel Kepka is experimenting with how the technology stack affects the LLMs - Pavel designed an experiment to evaluate the LLM's architecture decision based on the required technology stack. He'll share his findings and learnings with us at the upcoming Ataccama Meetup. Michal Kopecky will be talking about his MCP-FE library. Michal's annotation says this: Most AI agents are "blind" to your application's internal logic, often relying on messy DOM scraping or raw HTML snapshots. In this talk, I will demonstrate how to bridge React and LLMs natively using the Model Context Protocol. We’ll explore how to give agents direct access to clean component state—such as data grids, active filters, and selections—and enable them to execute actions within the browser. Join me to see how we can transform a simple chatbot into a truly context-aware co-pilot. As always, expect: 🍕 Snacks & 🍺 drinks 💬 Friendly community vibes 💡 Space to learn, share, and connect 👉 **RSVP here to save your spot**

**Anotace přednášky:** Naše povídání „AI Fuckupy očima QA“ mapuje cestu od prvotního nadšení z no-code nástrojů a N8N až po tvrdý náraz do reality. Ukážeme vám, co se stane, když se manažerské sny o rychlých úsporách potkají s technickými limity. Zjistili jsme (často draze), že Data Science není Full Stack a že i takzvaný „Judge Agent“ si umí vymýšlet stejně kreativně jako každý jiný agent pracující s daty. Prošli jsme si peklem okolo ROI, bezpečnosti i AI Actu, abychom nakonec našli funkční systém. Ten dnes jasně odděluje testování AI produktů od používání AI jako pomocníka. Doražte. Ukážeme vám, proč AI nemá „God Mode“ a jak ji zapojit do procesu tak, aby vám reálně pomáhala, a ne jen vyráběla drahé problémy. **O speakerech:** **Blanka Fóglová** je QA architektka a konzultantka, která se dívá na testování a delivery proces jako na celek. Pomáhá týmům budovat efektivní QA strategie a automatizaci (včetně Playwrightu či AI QA) s důrazem na to, aby technologie sloužily lidem, ne naopak. Díky zkušenostem z dynamických startupů i velkých korporací dokáže pragmaticky zavádět principy DevOps i moderní metody jako contract testing. **Tadeáš Topol** je Automation QA konzultant a architekt se zaměřením na udržitelný vývoj testovacích frameworků a optimalizaci dodávání procesů. Specializuje se na budování komplexních řešení v nástrojích jako Playwright, Cypress či Robot Framework, které propojuje s reportingem (Grafana, OpenSearch) a výkonnostním testováním v K6. Tadeáš staví mosty mezi QA, vývojem a DevOps, klade také důraz na propojování moderních technologií (včetně AI) s reálnými potřebami byznysu, od dynamických startupů po komplexní korporátní prostředí. Těšíme se - organizátoři [Pro:]Test!

Reproducible dependency management in C++ without sacrificing development velocity by [Alex Vilchanski](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-vilchanski-5a3083279/) Ever went back in your project in git history and painstakingly guessed, which versions of the five internally developed dependencies should you even check out to make it compile? Managing dependencies in C++ is still not trivial, especially if you want to build your product with both internal (company) and external dependencies and your goal is to enable fearless dependency management by the not-so-experienced team members. Oh, and you work in an industry that requires you to be able to make patches to old software in reasonable time. Or you just want to bisect that nasty bug, and oh, it's not a monorepo or a super-build project where one can just check out a single revision. Well, I may have something useful for you: a combination of CPM and Conan that should cover most of the teams' needs that usually arise when starting greenfield projects or ecosystems, which is currently the case for me at work. As you've probably heard, many problems are "people" problems, and therefore the presented ideas require fine-tuning and adjustment for your use-case. Since dependency management is an everlasting issue (especially in C++), I also hope to inspire some further discussion in the room and as it often happens, perhaps the audience can suggest further improvements.

**Trying AI tools is easy. Making them actually useful inside a company is where things get complicated. This Crew Talk focuses on the stage where AI stops being an experiment and moves into real-world use: with real data, real users, and real business limits.** Join us on **Tuesday, February 24**, for an evening focused on how AI works in practice, not just in theory. Five speakers from data science, engineering, education, and business roles will share their experience with building AI systems, training people to use them, and turning AI into something that truly works in real organizations. 👉[ Register here ](https://applifting.io/events/crew-talk-from-ai-experiments-to-everyday-value)👈 **if you want to attend in person. Spaces are limited and our event planner Anetka would be sad if we had to turn you away at the door!** **Who’s speaking?** **[David Omrai](https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-omrai-9797011b7/),** full-stack developer at DX Heroes, will open with insights on why generic AI workshops often fail and how tailored training helps teams actually use AI in their daily work. **[Jakub Marian](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jakub-marian/)**, senior data science & AI architect at Colours of Data, will follow by explaining the limits of AI agents and what it takes to build systems that work reliably in real companies. The panel discussion will bring together three perspectives on making AI work beyond prototypes. **[Barbora Malinovská](https://cz.linkedin.com/in/barbora-malinovska/cs)**, client success manager at Applifting, will share the client view on building AI that’s clear and usable within organizations. **[Tomáš Herman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/herman-tomas/)**, AI engineering lead at Applifting, will add an engineering perspective on reliable agentic systems for real-world use. The panel will be rounded out by **[Tomáš Mátl](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomasmatl/)**, CEO of Colours of Data, who will connect AI initiatives with business impact and value. **We look forward to meeting you!** **Schedule:** **17:30 – Doors open** * Get your ticket ready, say hello to others, and have a drink with us. 🥂 **18:00 – Introduction by Filip Kirschner** * Our co-founder Filip will give you a short welcome and introduce our speakers. **18:15 – Tailored AI workshops: Why "one size fits all" fails with David Omrai** * *Why do many AI trainings fail to change how people actually work? David shows how workshops built around real tools and workflows help teams integrate AI into daily practice, while setting realistic expectations about limits like context size and hallucinations.* **18:30 – From simple automation to enterprise platforms: Building a virtual data scientist with Jakub Marian** * *What does it take to build an AI agent that truly works with enterprise data? Jakub shares lessons from developing a “Virtual Data Scientist” and explores why many agent setups that look good in demos break in real corporate environments.* **18:50 – 10-minute break** **19:00 – Panel discussion with Barbora Malinovská, Tomáš Herman, and Tomáš Mátl** * *A discussion on what happens after the prototype: aligning AI with real users, keeping systems reliable outside demos, managing risks, and connecting AI efforts to real business outcomes.* **20:00** — **Q&A session** * *Your turn. We’re open to any questions or comments you have.* **20:30 – Networking, food & drinks 🍻** * Snacks and drinks, including draft beer, will be available for you all evening.

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.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** *Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit: From Intent to Implementation* Spec-driven development flips the traditional workflow on its head: instead of code being the source of truth, the specification becomes the backbone of design, collaboration, and delivery. In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA

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.

Bring your work or your hobby, hang out, and code with us. Follow @buckeyecocoa for more information.

Meeting @ Improving's office in Downtown Columbus, near Cosi. Parking is paid, food & drink are free! This time we're hanging out after the long winter break. We are going to look at a group-member's project used to help learn the fundamentals of Go, and if time allows, we can take a look at how we like to build Go projects using AI.
