**This event is supported by The Royal Institute of Philosophy’s [Local Partners Programme](https://royalinstitutephilosophy.org/news/fund-your-event/).** **N.B. this meeting will be held in person in the Prince of Wales pub near Covent Garden. There is also an online session held on Thursday if you are not in London or are not able to attend in-person.** Our 2026 theme, 'Quest', takes a more inward turn this month. We join the residents of Imber Court, people yearning for spiritual meaning in a lay religious community, each pursuing their own paths to goodness and meaning. When art student Dora arrives, recently having left her husband, conflicts and secrets come to the fore, forcing the residents to confront one another and themselves. The meeting starts at 7pm with drink breaks at 8 and 9. The discussion will end around 10pm, but leave whenever you need to. Here's the blurb from Penguin.co.uk Imber Court is a quiet haven for lost souls. It offers a sanctuary for those who can neither live in the world, nor out of it. But beneath the gentle daily routines of the community run currents of suppressed desire, religious yearning and a legend of disastrous love. Charming, indolent Dora arrives in the midst of all this, and half-unwittingly conjures these submerged things to the surface. **Our confirmed 2026 books are:** * January - The Wizard of Earthsea, Ursual K. Le Guin * February - The Old Man and the Sea, Ernest Hemingway * March - The Bell, Iris Murdoch * April - Haroun and Sea of Stories, Salman Rushdie * May - Journey to the West/Monkey - Weng Cheng-En * June - The Odyssey, Homer

***P.S: [Luma](https://luma.com/4hs6hs36) Registration is Required for this event.*** **Theme:** ***Agentic Coding 🤝 [ACP](https://agentclientprotocol.com/)* (Agent Client Protocol)** **💻 Coding Agents and ACP with JetBrains** 💎 State of [ACP ](https://www.jetbrains.com/)from **[Jetbrains](https://www.jetbrains.com/) & [Zed Industries](https://zed.dev/)** 🎙️Panel with **[Jetbrains](https://www.jetbrains.com/) [Zed Industries](https://zed.dev/) [Mistral AI](https://mistral.ai/) & [Vibe Kanban](https://vibekanban.com/)** **Agent Client Protocol ([ACP](https://agentclientprotocol.com/)) and the Future of Interoperable Coding Agents** Coding agents are part of everyday development workflows. Whether you are using an IDE or working in the CLI, coding agents are helping developers write, refactor, test, and debug code. But today’s ecosystem is fragmented, we have so many coding agents Claude Code. Codex, Gemini CLI and many others. Every editor, every tool, and every agent often speaks its own language and has own harness. Not single coding harness will solve you all needs and you should be able to switch or have a choice to use different harnesss What if you could use **any coding agent** inside **the editor you love**? That is exactly what the **Agent Client Protocol ([ACP](https://agentclientprotocol.com/))** enables. ACP is an open protocol that standardizes communication created by Zed Industries, between code editors and coding agents. It works for both local and remote scenarios. Think of it as the LSP for coding agents. Just as the Language Server Protocol unified language tooling across editors, ACP aims to unify how editors interact with intelligent coding agents. **Sponsors** Big Thanks to our Sponsor **[Jetbrains](https://www.jetbrains.com/)** And thanks to **[Tessl](https://tessl.io/)** for hosting the venue. **What You Will Learn** In this session we explore how ACP is shaping the next generation of coding agent interoperability. • What the Agent Client Protocol is and why it matters • Current State of ACP and Future • How ACP standardizes communication between IDEs and coding agents • How to use ACP inside your favourite IDE • How to build an ACP client • Practical considerations for using ACP effectively • The future of coding agent interoperability If you are building or using coding agents, this session will give you both conceptual clarity and practical direction. 🎤 **Talks** **Talk 1: State of ACP and Future (45min)** Speakers: **[Sergey Ignatov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sergey-ignatov/) Director of Engineering, JetBrains** \*\*[Ben Brandt ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjaminbrandt/)\*\*Zed Industries **Description :** This talk with In this session Sergey and Ben will introduce ACP and share Future plans of Agent Client Protocol from the company behind the ACP (Zed Industries) and Jetbrains ACP: \- Overview \- State of ACP \- Ecosystem around it \- Future \- Recent Implications: OpenClaw\, Custom Agents with Agent Frameworks like LangGraph\, LlamaIndex and Cursor Wrapper etc 🎙️ **Panel and Q&A 25 min** **Topic:** Agentic Coding, ACP anf Future Panelist: **[Sergey Ignatov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sergey-ignatov/) Director of Engineering, JetBrains** \*\*[Ben Brandt ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjaminbrandt/)\*\*Zed Industries \*\*[Clément Drouin ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/cl%C3%A9ment-drouin-785643137/)\*\*Software Engineer at Mistral AI \*\*[Louis Knight-Webb ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/knightwebb/)\*\*Vibe Kanban We will close the evening with a focused panel discussion and audience Q&A on coding agents, interoperability, and the future of agent powered development.

We will show a variety of methods for building agents that run in Microsoft Foundry. This covers the different types of agents: Prompt, Multi, and Hosted, as well as the development lifecycle using evals and traces.

Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems: * Using running totals * Performing operations in intervals * Identifying data gaps and islands * Performing aggregates without losing detail Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.

Builders, creators, architects, admins, consultants - come one, come all. This one's for you. We're bringing a little friendly competition to the Columbus ServiceNow community while highlighting the cool things people have built on the platform. Five presenters will take the stage to showcase something they've built, solved, designed, or imagined on the ServiceNow platform - and a panel of judges (plus YOU, our amazing audience) will score them live. So basically, America's Got Talent but make it ServiceNow's Got Talent. Bring a notepad if you'd like 'cause you'll definitely be learning something new. Each presenter gets 10 minutes max to wow the crowd with: • A demo • A real-world business solution • A bold idea • A UX transformation • Or a creative use of the platform Judging Criteria: 🏆 Business Value 🚀 Innovation ✨ User Experience This event is about celebrating ideas, sharing knowledge, and showing how ServiceNow can drive both business impact and meaningful user value. Come learn. Come support. Come get inspired. Refreshments and bites will be provided. And maybe next time… you’ll be on stage.

**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 **Abstract** TBD **YouTube Link** TBA

So this month's prompt is more general. I think we can all agree that we are living in "unique" times that require coping skills. I think that one role and/or purpose of philosophy is to help us deal with our daily lives and our "unique" times. So, let's share our feelings and thoughts about which philosopher/philosophy we turn to in order to deal with our crazy events. Who/what helps you stay focused in your daily life and helps you sleep at night. I find that Stoicism with a little philosophical pessimism mixed in goes a long way in helping me deal with what I see as very destructive, fearful and mean spirited public policies at both the state and federal levels. Hope to see you on March 28th!
