Hello tech enthusiasts, builders, and innovators! Welcome to the next edition of LuxTechPulse & [GDG Luxembourg](https://gdg.community.dev/gdg-luxembourg/) meetup. This time, we are skipping boring theory and diving straight into the real stuff: **"What I built using AI."** No fluff—just real-world use cases, live showcases, lessons learned, and practical insights. 🎙️ **Meet the Speakers** * **PlayPrompt: a platform for kids to create games with AI** by ***[Anselmo Talotta](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anselmotalotta/)*** Anselmo will take us behind the scenes of his amazing project, PlayPrompt.

Over years, it becomes the single place that knows your entire professional story. * **How to build and manage a B2B SaaS with 1,000 customers worldwide with a team of three** by ***[Mike Erman](ttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mikhailerman)*** Mike is the CEO of Tailride, an AI invoice automation startup with over 1,000 customers worldwide.

⚠️EVENTBRITE REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED⚠️ https://www.eventbrite.com/e/luxembourgs-summer-in-three-acts-pilgrimage-harvest-and-wine-tickets-1987782782813?aff=meetup (Ignore the 10-attendees-limit – registrations are valid through Eventbrite) **Luxembourg’s Summer in Three Acts: Pilgrimage, Harvest, and Wine** This is the **third event** of the newly launched **Bourgmeisterin: Fireside Chats** bi-monthly series – a cultural storytelling format supported by the [Ministry of Family Affairs, Solidarity, Living Together, and Reception of Refugees ](https://mfsva.gouvernement.lu/en/.html "https://mfsva.gouvernement.lu/en/.html") and co-produced with[ ](https://www.radioara.org/)**[ARA City Radio](https://www.radioara.org/)** that runs from winter 2026 till summer 2027. The series builds on **[Bourgmeisterin](https://bourgmeisterin.com/about "https://bourgmeisterin.com/about")**, a long-running cultural storytelling project that has been exploring Luxembourg’s history, traditions, and identity for over 2.5 years. For those who missed the previous events: all events are vide-recorded as podcasts – here's the **[YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@Bourgmeisterin)[📺](https://youtu.be/m_DnkOWUn4w?feature=shared "https://youtu.be/m_DnkOWUn4w?feature=shared")** to bring you up to speed😉 **\-\-\-** This Fireside Chat explores three traditions that have helped Luxembourg mark the passing of summer for centuries: 🕺🏻🥁**Hopping Procession of Echternach** – why do thousands of people still hop through the streets of Echternach every year at the end of May? 🌾**Léiffrawëschdag** – why are bouquets made from herbs, grains, onions and carrots still blessed on August 15 in Greiveldange (and many other parts of the country for that matter)? 🍷**Fiederwäissen** – and why does a cloudy, unfinished wine inspire such anticipation every autumn? In a world that moves *faster than ever*, some traditions continue to bring people together – not because they are **efficient or practical,** but because they **help us mark time, create belonging, and make sense of change.** They show how people have historically navigated beginnings, endings, uncertainty, and belonging. Together, we'll explore: * Why communities create rituals in the first place * What it means to move, celebrate, and participate as a group * How traditions help people mark the passing of time * Why certain customs survive while others disappear * And what these rituals can still teach us about community, identity, and belonging today Because sometimes the most interesting question isn't why a tradition exists. **It's why people continue returning to it.** **💃🏻Who's leading the conversation** * The evening is hosted by **[Julia Khalyavko](https://www.linkedin.com/in/julia-khalyavko-54a6a420b/)**, the founder of **Bourgmeisterin**, a cultural storytelling project dedicated to exploring Luxembourg’s history, traditions, and contemporary identity through articles, podcasts, and public conversations. * The discussion is joined by **[Joëlla van Donkersgoed](https://www.linkedin.com/in/joella-van-donkersgoed)**, a Dutch heritage scholar and public historian who has lived in Luxembourg for the last five years. With a background in heritage studies, and art history, she focuses on how communities connect with their past in the present. She has led several public-facing history projects during her time at the **Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH)** at the **University of Luxembourg**, helping to make local history meaningful to wider audiences. **🤝🍷🍔Stay, talk, connect** The conversation doesn’t end when the fireside chat does. **Catering and drinks will be served after the discussion**, offering space to linger, exchange thoughts, and connect with fellow attendees in a relaxed, informal setting with up to 50 other attendees. **🎥🗣️NB! Recording, publication and spoken language** * Please note that the fireside chat will be **video-recorded**. Some **before- and after-moments** – as guests arrive and leave – may also be captured. The recording will be edited into a **video-podcast episode** and published on **YouTube** as part of the Bourgmeisterin: Fireside Chats series. * The event will be held in **English**. **A big thank you to our partners:** 🎥 **Super8**, our videography partner bringing the Fireside Chats to life on screen, 📍**Silversquare Liberté**, our venue partner hosting this Fireside Chat in Luxembourg City, 📲 **Itrepide Studio** our social media partner helping us shape and share the story **Follow Bourgmeisterin [everywhere](https://linktr.ee/bourgmeisterin)!** \-\-\- 🎟️ *Admission is free thanks to the generous support of the Ministry, which makes this event accessible to all.* 🚨 *The order form includes a short pre-event survey: as this is a Ministry-funded initiative, we are required to report on certain aspects of the event, including audience demographics. Your responses help us meet these reporting obligations* 🙏

Hello everyone! Next Saturday we're gonna do another very beautiful hike in Capellen: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/luxembourg/capellen/grosse-runde-bei-kehlen **Please pay attention**: This is a hike for people that can maintain an average speed of 6 km/h, so that we finish the 17.9 km in around 3 hours. So, please join me only if you know you can keep this pace! Other than that, it is an easy terrain with an elevation gain of 427 m. **Public Transportation**: We take bus 921 from Stareplatz-Etoile, Quai 3 (direction Merch) at 08:45 and we get off at Kehlen, Um Knapp. The bus is to arrive at Kehlen, Um Knapp at 09:04 and the starting point is only 7 minutes walking from there. **Carpooling**: For those coming by car and would like to offer some seat to fellow hikers, you can use this link to register your car: https://groupcarpool.com/t/9fnaeg **Contact**: My wapp number is +306985027222. If you don't use wapp, my phone number is +352621132389. **Disclaimer**: The hike is at your own risk. Please come prepared (hiking shoes, at least 1.5 litres of water, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses,...) And I repeat, please join this hike only if you can keep an average pace of 6 km/h :)

**Update:** If you find this event just now, everything below was posted when the online registration to the event "Kuckucklauf" on "Chiplauf.de" was still possible. The registration has closed end of Monday! You can still sign up for this MeetUp event, come for the hike, and enjoy the beverages and food at the town festival after. Please refer to the carpool section below, preferred meeting point is on Glacis for carpooling. In case you come directly, starting point is here: [Kastel-Staadt Parking](https://maps.app.goo.gl/jfw7GiBrjK5zaW5Y6) We will start once everyone has arrived, estimated between 9:15 and 9:30 **Original description:** Hello Friends! This time, we're going to do a modified "Traumschleife Kasteler Felsenpfad" trail in Germany. "Traumschleife" (Dream Loop) is a category of beautiful paths in Germany, Saar-Hunsrück area, some of them cross-border between Germany and Luxembourg 🥾🥾 The organization [Chiplauf](https://www.chiplauf.de/) promotes running events in the greater "BE-DE-LUX" region between Gerolstein, Hermeskeil, and Luxembourg. There are 19 events between June and November, most of which are purely for running, from a short 5km trail, or 1000m for toddlers, up to an ultra marathon of 111km. Each of the events offers different disciplines and distances. I haven't checked all of them, but besides the "Äischdall-Trail" in August (Eischen, Luxembourg), this one is the only one I've seen where hiking is also possible. A colleague of mine lives in Kastel-Staadt, the town that is hosting this "Kuckuckslauf" (cuckoo trail) for the first time. His family and friends are busy with printing, sowing, and other preparations. He told me about this, and I like the opportunity to do something abroad and to support this initiative. It seems to me a little bit like the FLMP hikes, where the umbrella organization is promoting it, and each local hiking club in the hosting town or villages is responsible for the details and the funding. **Details (please read carefully):** There is a fee of 15 Euro, for which you will get a small bag/sack with snacks, a start number, and drinks at a "pit stop" along the trail. The surplus of the event, which a local non-profit organization financially governs, will go to a charity. There will be refreshments along the trail, and at the end, there is a "Volksfest" with food, drinks, and games for kids. Food includes a "Schwenker", the regional traditional barbecue with steaks and sausages. While the path they have planned, deviating from the original "Traumschleife" a bit, is 10km, I have planned a short detour up to the "Altfels", a natural monument and supposedly a viewpoint. If it's too hot, we can skip that totally, or some of you can do a shortcut and wait 20-30 mins for the rest of the group at the next corner in the shade. You can sign up here: [Kuckuckslauf Registration](https://www.chiplauf.de/fr/events/1-kuckuckslauf-in-kastel-staadt/discipline) You can switch the language between German, English, and French, but they don't translate everything, make sure you sign up for the "10km Wanderung" ***At this point, the deadline is the 24th, but my colleague just told me that they plan to move it to the 22nd.*** I have signed up today and put "Yet Another Hiking Group in Luxembourg" as the club name. Let me know whether it now shows up in the drop-down list when you register. It would be cool to see our group name there multiple times, but the registration is voluntary (see "freeloader" section below) **Payment:** Payment is possible via bank transfer, credit card, Klarna, even a Belgian money app, sadly no Payconiq ;( If you have no credit card and don't want to bother with the payment, you can message me *"please register me"* and send me 15 EUR via PayPal or Payconiq. Paypal: [Paypal payment link](https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.paypal.com%2Fpool%2F9qdHwPrvIx%3Fsr%3Daccr&data=05%7C02%7Cjens.osterloh%40ses.com%7C8fdb1810e6074e33470b08decef27b53%7C88281ca8e5254a8db965480a7ac2b970%7C0%7C0%7C639175738014325246%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=92a7yAkNi0DyJrzX0G2YrIUIgQYLzZ1V898RVdPzWik%3D&reserved=0) Payconiq: [Payconiq payment link](https://payconiq.com/payme/1/md2vc5bo2mkb) I still encourage everyone to register himself, but if I can help, let me know. **Attention:** If you struggle with the online payment while actively trying yourself and going back and forth, you can end up in a situation where you have successfully registered without actually paying. They will still have your information, and your registration is "unpaid". In the confirmation e-mail, you will find the payment link and bank information. **Meeting Point:** This time we will do "full carpool" and I suggest that most of us meet on Glacis shortly after 8 am. Departure time around 8:20, after mixing the carpool and having at least 3-4 people per car. If you come from a completely different location and Luxembourg City would be a big detour, please use the carpool app and organize a local carpool. We will meet near the parking lot in Kasteel, you can park there or all along the road to the cemetery. Note: There will be lots of people, please plan at least 10 minutes for finding alternate parking and walking to the starting point: [Google-Maps: Parking Kastel-Staadt](https://maps.app.goo.gl/r4RpL4F3MRQoCwjLA) **Carpool:** I suggest that "the usual suspects" coming from the south are organizing a carpool from Bettembourg, e.g. meeting at [Parking Gare Bettembourg](https://maps.app.goo.gl/XGwS1WWuwUUVoaRz6) You can then take the highway and cross at Schengen/Perl. Main carpool will meet on the [Glacis](https://maps.app.goo.gl/MWhSdB1QAg7mmeX56), near "Hitch", like in the good old times. You can get there via bus or tram, or you can take your car and leave it there. (This was the pre-covid mode: 20 people came to Glacis with 16 cars, and we left 12 cars there, everyone got a seat, and we were maximum eco-friendly :) From the city, we will pass through Remich, and we can re-shuffle the carpool if too many people come alone in a car otherwise. Please look for or announce your departure at the [Remich free parking](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ouKRcqf8GxRMR9Uz5) https://groupcarpool.com/t/wev38a **Public Transport:** \*canceled\* **Freeloaders:** If you don't want to pay the registration fee, you can still attend the hike. Of course, you will not get the goodies, medal, or participation certificate, and you are not eligible for the refreshments at the pit stop. Unlike at the Diekirch walk, you will probably not get very much frowned upon, at least not by me. But since the surplus of the event will be for a charity, a small donation at the end will be very welcome! **Please note:** It's tick season. Be careful, use some repellent product, and check yourself after the hike. As usual, the hike is at your own risk, and please take enough water for yourself. Looking forward to hiking with you! Jens **PS: If the weather forecast is correct, it will be over 30 degrees for the next 10 days. Please bring LOTS of water for yourself!**

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD

Join the weight loss in Columbus group at the Scioto Audubon Park for an in person meeting. We'll meet to chat casually, talk about goals and enjoy one of Columbus's wonderful parks.

Let's meet and see where we can take things!

Our monthly PHP meetup. A virtual shindig courtesy of Zoom. Check back here for the details around 6:15 pm

**Due to Paul falling ill, we will have to postpone our trivia night to another day.** **This will be a normal freestyle night.** **On Freestyle night** \- just bring a bottle to share\. There is NO formal wine tasting like on other weeks\. Door charge is $10 \(cash or Venmo only please\)\. We may have some left over wines to clear out\! Glasses are provided\. Take Care\. See you there\. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. I am told that the Chase parking lot is safe after hours. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the EMPTY glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please do not make me hunt down your empty glass. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! (ps - empty the glasses into the sink, not the trash ... please) **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. **After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host* **Answer**: *That's right!* / We sent a rocketship with live astronauts to the moon for a quick lap around our only natural satellite. They didn't land. And they never got out of the capsule... for 10 days! Been there. Done that! (It's like they're replaying all the greatest hits from my childhood.)

There will be many other new people, so you won't be alone. And the regulars will be there to help make you feel welcome. We're a relaxed and warm group. We hope to see you. **SIDE NOTE:** New members are welcome to ALL our Friday night wine tastings, but this night is a special overture to those who don't want to feel that they are the only new person in the room. Don't worry. You won't be. And don't hesitate to RSVP to other events. **OLD MEMBERS NOTE**: Hey Old Members! You're not excluded from this event. We expect to see you there to help make the new members feel welcome. **Sample 4 different wines** this Friday for $15 (*Cash or Venmo only please*). Glasses are provided. Bring a snack to share. Bring a bottle to share if you care to. See all the details below for the Hilliard Wine Club Wine Tasting. In Person. In Real Life. Actual Wine from glass bottles with corks and everything. **Wine**: Tastings will be $15 for four samples as always. And you are welcome to bring a bottle of your favorite wine to share with others. Participation in the wine tastings is optional. But since you’re going, I will buy enough wine to cover you. If you bring your own wine and do not participate in the tasting you will only pay $10 to cover the door charge. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. **Extra Wine**: After everyone has had their samples, we remove the pouring spouts and any remaining wine is poured freely to whomever wants it. I hate having leftover wine. **Queen of Hearts**: The Queen of Hearts raffle is a fundraiser for the club and a Barnum and Bailey type extravaganza - minus the dancing ponies, clowns, and actual circus. Bring your ***cash*** as the Queen does not accept American Express or other plastic. **After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host*

**Latest Dojo Location!** **Knotty Pine Brewing** 1765 W 3rd Ave, Columbus, OH 43212 We're going to try a new dojo location for a few weeks and see how it works Dojos are informal Python group study sessions where everyone interested in Python gathers to learn about Python, help others with Python, or just hang out.
