Hola y bienvenidos a nuestro próximo meetup de filosofía de Sócrates Café! ¿Deseas una comprensión más profunda de ti mismo y del mundo? ¿Valoras el diálogo profundo, honesto y respetuoso? Si es así, entonces este encuentro será muy interesante para ti. 1. ¿DONDE NOS ENCONTRAMOS? Charcha Café [Carrer d'Avinyó, 24, Ciutat Vella, 08002 Barcelona](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x12a4a3004ce10d7d:0xbc126fd29e6e5d2d?sa=X&ved=1t:8290&ictx=111) https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x12a4a3004ce10d7d:0xbc126fd29e6e5d2d?sa=X&ved=1t:8290&ictx=111 2. ¿CUANDO NOS ENCONTRAMOS? los martes de 19:30 a 21:00 3. ¿CUÁNTOS NOS REUNIMOS? Hasta 25 personas. Las reuniones comenzarán a las 7.30 pm. Por favor, les pedimos que pidan algo para beber antes de comenzar y que lleguen puntualmente. **Empezaremos puntualmente.** 4. ¿QUE PASA EN LAS REUNIONES? En cada reunión tenemos una discusión usando el método socrático: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method Hacemos, respondemos y discutimos preguntas e ideas para estimular el pensamiento crítico y ampliar nuestras perspectivas con algunos conceptos y pensamientos en los que nunca hemos pensado. El objetivo principal de estos encuentros es enriquecernos con las perspectivas de los demás, no convencer a los demás sobre nuestras propias perspectivas. Nuestras reuniones son sobre nuestras propias filosofías de la vida y no necesariamente lo que los grandes filósofos y académicos han dicho o escrito. No es un club de debate o una plataforma para hacer proselitismo. En cambio, ponemos énfasis en cuestionar, tener una mentalidad abierta y desafiar nuestras propias suposiciones mientras escuchamos y respetamos las opiniones compartidas por otros. Una reunión de Socrates Café se considera un éxito cuando los participantes dejan una discusión con muchas más preguntas de las que tenían al principio. 5. ¿QUÉ TEMA SE DISCUTE EN EL MEETUP? Los participantes sugieren temas al principio de cada reunión. Luego votamos y elegimos el tema más popular de ese evento para la discusión. No es necesaria la formación académica en filosofía; Solo entusiasmo por intercambiar ideas y puntos de vista. Algunos ejemplos de temas elegidos en reuniones anteriores: * ¿Por qué ideales vale la pena morir? * ¿Por qué nunca estamos satisfechos? * ¿Por qué los seres humanos están informados de que la sociedad está yendo mal y los líderes están bien informados y las cosas continúan? * ¿Es necesaria la identidad? * ¿Qué es el precio ético y la codicia? * ¿Qué es post-verdad? * ¿Cómo puede ser que las personas en las sociedades democráticas estén tan obsesionadas con el poder? (Deseo de ser diferente, mejor, más fuerte que los demás). * ¿Qué es la amistad? 6. ¿QUIÉN PUEDE PARTICIPAR EN ESTE MEETUP? Cualquiera es más que bienvenido a unirse a nuestros encuentros. Nuestros eventos reúnen a personas de diferentes orígenes, diferentes culturas, mientras que no es obligatorio tener antecedentes filosóficos. Nuestros participantes habituales son personas que tienen deseo de una comprensión más profunda de sí mismos y del mundo. Personas que valoran el diálogo profundo, honesto y respetuoso.

We have prepared another evening of BI and Data Analytics at [Trainline](https://www.thetrainline.com/), open to everyone. 🚨 **To attend, RSVP at** [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/techfems-techtalks-unlocking-the-power-of-data-tickets-1982880387617](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/techfems-techtalks-unlocking-the-power-of-data-tickets-1982880387617). **This meetup does not accept RSVPs as we track attendance via Eventbrite** this time 🚨 **Agenda** 6:00 PM - Door opens and welcome 👋 6:30 PM - Talks Start 8:00 PM - Socializing & Networking with refreshments and snacks ⚠️ Make sure to **arrive before 6:30 PM**. No one can enter the building after that ⚠️ **🗣️Talks** 1️⃣ **From Chaos to Clarity: Building Your BI Platform** 🎙️ **[Viktoriia Kniazeva](https://www.linkedin.com/in/viktoriia-kniazeva-106403161/)**, Technical Consultant at [Omnevo](https://www.linkedin.com/company/omnevo/) Many organizations accumulate multiple operational systems, each with its own data model, stack, and integration challenges — and BI often becomes an afterthought stitched on top. This session demonstrates how to design and implement a BI platform from scratch, unifying heterogeneous data sources into a reliable, scalable architecture. Based on hands-on experience with systems like Metabase, we examine patterns for creating clean data flows, ensuring trust, and building a foundation that analytics can grow on. Takeaways: • BI as Part of System Architecture: Why analytics needs to be architected—not improvised. • Data Flow Design: Structuring the path from operational systems to actionable insights. • What to prepare before starting a BI project — the key checks teams often forget 2️⃣ **Dashboards, Data, and “Did It Work?” at Grafana** 🎙️ **[Maria Dubinets](https://www.linkedin.com/in/maria-dubinets/)**, Senior Data Analyst at [Grafana Labs](https://grafana.com). Grafana builds industry-leading tools for observing infrastructure — but how does an observability company observe its own products? This talk explores how Product Data Analytics and Experimentation are structured at Grafana, from high-volume event ingestion to statistically rigorous A/B testing. It will unpack how Grafana’s modern data stack — powered by RudderStack, BigQuery, dbt, Prefect, OpenMetadata, and Grafana itself — creates a scalable, governed, and trustworthy source of product truth. The session will then dive into one of Grafana’s most intricate live product experiments that just finished: testing whether automatically surfacing our Interactive Learning Plugin inside Grafana Cloud increases adoption of Synthetic Monitoring and IRM by moving users from Activation to Engagement. Attendees will see how the experiment was designed, sized, instrumented, and analyzed — and what was learned once the results came in. The talk concludes with a preview of the next onboarding experiment focused on improving Day 2–14 engagement for new Cloud users. What Attendees Will Learn • 🏗️ How Grafana structures its product data stack • 📊 How dashboards evolve into decision systems • 🧪 How product experiments are designed for rigor • 🚀 Case Study: The Interactive Learning Plugin Experiment **Event language:** * English (many attendees also speak Spanish and other languages). **Who can join?** * 👭 This event is open to everyone. * Whether you’re a student, job seeker, or tech professional, you’re welcome here! **Address** Trainline: Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes\, 613\, Barcelona \| [https://maps.app.goo.gl/2u1b8fqHjgFw7kJz9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/2u1b8fqHjgFw7kJz9) **Venue Information:** * Wheelchair accessible. * NOT suitable for children. * If you prefer not to be photographed or recorded, let our media team know. **More about TechFems:** * Discover more on our [Website](https://techfems.org) and join [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/techfems). * Please read our [Code of Conduct](https://techfems.org/codeofconduct/). **PLEASE NOTE** By registering, you agree to the TechFems [Privacy Policy](https://techfems.org/privacy-policy/) and [Code of Conduct](https://techfems.org/codeofconduct/).

¿Cuál es la relación entre los filósofos y la ciudad de Barcelona? ¿Cómo pasaron por ella? ¿Qué reflexiones han surgido de su encuentro y cuáles siguen ocultas en los callejones de la ciudad? Como hacían los filósofos peripatéticos, la reflexión se desarrollará también en movimiento. En cada etapa, un filósofo y una idea permitirán que se desplieguen las ideas sobre la idea de ciudad. De hecho, el hilo conductor del recorrido es la propia idea de «ciudad». Será un pensar caminando, un cuestionar conociendo. El "Tour" es una experiencia colectiva de diálogo filosófico apta para tod@s, tanto para l@s que conocen bien la filosofía como para l@s que no la conocen en absoluto. Para todas las edades y perspectivas. El recorrido dura alrededor de 1 hora y 45 minutos.

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!

**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** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
