Solstice Sessions — Atlassian Insights & Midsummer Cheers
Midsummer Atlassian Nights: Governance, Users & Team '26 Fresh from Anaheim
June 25, 2026 · 5:00–9:00 PM · SentinelOne Office, Prague
Summer is almost here — and we're celebrating it the ACE Prague way: with sharp technical sessions, a live panel straight from Atlassian's biggest event of the year, and a midsummer beer garden to close out the evening.
Join us on June 25th for one of our most packed evenings yet. Two expert speakers. A panel discussion bringing Team '26 insights direct from Anaheim. And then — we head outside.
🎤 Session 1: When Atlassian User Management Stops Being an Admin Problem Björn Döhler · re:solution
Nobody wakes up excited about user management. And yet, again and again, it's the silent culprit behind some of the biggest headaches in modern organizations — exploding license costs, broken accountability, risky migrations, and decisions made without reliable data.
This session tells a story — or rather, several — about how these situations unfold in real life, what teams usually miss until it's too late, and how thinking differently about user management can change the outcome. No sales pitch. No "ten features in ten minutes." Just stories, lessons learned, and a glimpse of what becomes possible when user management stops being invisible.
🎤 Session 2: From Zero to Hero — Data Governance Can Be Easy Hubert Kut · AppForge.ai
Data governance sounds intimidating. It doesn't have to be.
Hubert will walk you through how to perform comprehensive health checks on your Jira instance, automate the cleaning process, and improve data quality — without it becoming a full-time job. You'll leave with actionable practices that make Jira management more straightforward, your system more performant, and your users a lot happier. Whether you're just starting out or looking to tighten up an already complex environment, this one's for you.
🗣️ Panel Discussion: Fresh from Team '26 — What Atlassian's Biggest Event Means for You
All three of us — Björn, Hubert, and your host Julia Skoursky — were in Anaheim in person for Team '26. Now we're bringing it back to Prague.
What actually happened? What announcements matter for admins, partners, and teams using Atlassian tools every day? What's coming, what surprised us, and what should you be preparing for? This panel is your shortcut to the highlights — unfiltered, first-hand, and with room for your questions.
🍺 Midsummer Beer Garden
When the sessions wrap, we're not done. We're heading outside to celebrate the longest days of the year the right way — cold drinks, good company, and the kind of conversations that only happen when the sun refuses to set.
This is your chance to keep the discussion going with speakers and fellow community members in a relaxed, informal setting. Midsummer only comes once a year. Make it count.
🤝 About ACE Prague

Meetup Org Charts Are Melting: How AI-Native Teams Actually Work
Join us for another AI Transformers Prague meetup — a community for leaders, innovators, and practitioners who want to turn AI from buzzword into real business impact.
Org charts are melting. And nobody's talking about it enough.
In AI-native companies, a three-person team ships what used to take thirty. Job titles blur into capability stacks. The manager's role is being quietly rewritten by agents that plan, draft, and execute alongside humans. The pyramid isn't just flattening — it's cracking at the foundation.
This meetup brings together people building inside this shift to compare notes on what's actually working. No futurism. No hype. Just honest stories from the ground.
\*\*\*
🧭 Theme: Org Charts Are Melting — How AI-Native Teams Actually Work
We'll explore questions like:
\* What new roles are emerging — and which ones are quietly disappearing?
\* How do decisions flow when half your "team" is non-human?
\* What does operating leverage of 10x per person actually look like in practice?
\* How do you manage, hire, and lead when agents are doing the executing?
\* What organizational models are winning right now — and why?
\*\*\*
🎙 Speakers
Three practitioners building inside AI-native organizations — each bringing a different vantage point on what the new operating model really looks like:
\* [Petr Zatloukal](https://www.linkedin.com/in/petrzatloukal/) – Co-Founder and Career Driver at Alviso
\* [Markéta Dlouhá](https://www.linkedin.com/in/marketaconka/) – , Agile Delivery and AI Community LeadDr. Max
\*[ Senta Čermáková ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sentacermakova/)– Board Member and Director of International Operations of Czechitas
[Michal Ličko](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michallicko/) – CEO @ Visionvolve \| AI Transformation Leader
\*\*\*
🎤 Format
3 lightning talks followed by a panel discussion and audience Q&A focused on what's happening on the ground right now, not theory.
\*\*\*
📋 Agenda
17:30 – Doors open & networking
18:00 – Welcome & intro
18:00–19:00 – 3× Lightning talks
19:00–19:30 – Panel discussion & Q&A
19:30 onwards – Networking & informal conversations
\*\*\*
👥 Who Is This For?
\* Founders & startup leaders rethinking how their teams are structured
\* Product managers & engineering leads working with AI agents
\* Corporate innovators navigating organizational change
\* People managers figuring out what leadership looks like with AI in the loop
\* HR & org design professionals
\* Anyone curious about how the best AI-native teams actually operate
Whether you're already running AI-augmented teams or just starting to feel the pressure to change, this session will give you honest, practical insight into what's working — and what isn't.

Filozofování o životě a o všem ostatním pro všechny, bez vstupného a bez přihlášky:

Nenechte tyto věci jen pro sebe, zkuste rozhovor s jinými lidmi. U nás nejde jen o to, si popovídat, o to taky, ale to máte i jinde. U našeho stolu se pokusíme, spolu *filozofovat*. Nejdříve se dohodneme, jaké téma budeme diskutovat, a pak se do toho pustíme, budeme přemýšlet, rozmýšlet, promýšlet a zamýšlet se, až se nám z toho bude točit hlava, přitom nám budou podporou filozofové všech věků, abychom jí neztratili, tu hlavu. Ani byste nevěřili, jak filozofie může být osvěžující…

Book Club: Václav Havel, The Power of the Powerless
On Saturday, 27th of June, we’re going to meet and discuss the *The Power of the Powerless* by Václav Havel, an influential book that has become a key text of dissident thought in communist Eastern Europe.
Written in 1978, Havel’s book explores how authoritarian systems sustain themselves not only through force, but through conformity, fear, and everyday participation in lies. What does it mean to ‘live within the truth’? Can ordinary people resist oppressive systems, even when they seem powerless? And what forms of responsibility do individuals bear in political life?
Although written under late socialism in Czechoslovakia, Havel’s reflections remain strikingly relevant today. How do ideology, bureaucracy, media, and social pressure shape our behaviour? Are modern societies immune to the dynamics Havel describes – or do they simply take different forms?
Václav Havel (1936–2011) was a Czech playwright, dissident, political thinker, and statesman. A leading figure of the democratic opposition during communist rule, he later became the last President of Czechoslovakia and the first President of the Czech Republic.
***
Anyone is welcome to join! Before the meeting, please read the book (it’s around 100 pages long), think about it, and note any passages you find especially interesting, challenging, or worth discussing. We’ll share our thoughts and interpretations during the meeting.

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**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**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. 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.

COUNT RMH Housewarmer Volunteering (Ronald McDonald House)
Some trained COUNT volunteers work together once a month at RMH (http://www.rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer.php) as Housewarmers (usually on the 1st Sunday from 1 – 5 PM). Some schedule other shifts at their convenience. You may try this out with less fuss by following a "Fast track" or go through the normal process.
Fast track
• Arrange a time to shadow a COUNT volunteer. Call Dave Nohle at 614-268-9558 (cell).
• Show up and try it out.
• Complete application, etc. later.
Normal process
• Complete an online application (http://rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer/).
• Attend orientation in advance.
• At orientation you will complete forms agreeing to keep family/patient info private and allowing a background check and tour the facility.
• Complete one training shift. Daily shifts are: morning 9 AM - 1 PM, afternoon 1 - 5 PM and evening 5 - 9 PM.
• Schedule shifts online using the on the RMH scheduling system (http://www.volgistics.com/ex/portal.dll/?FROM=32895).
The Ronald McDonald House (RMH) provides housing and meals for families with sick children. The Columbus RMH is the largest in the world with 137 rooms. COUNT has been volunteering there since May 2014.
Housewarmers work with RMH guests to provide a home-like environment - greet, assist with family needs, answer phones, give tours, assist with checkin/checkout, prepare guest rooms after checkout, clean facility, laundry, restock supplies and staff the front desk. RMH Housewarmers volunteer at least one four-hour shift a month. All Housewarmers must complete an application and agree to a background check before they can be full fledged volunteers.

(Cross-Posting) From Joints to Gestures: Reading Hands in Unity
Do **NOT** sign up to this one and sign-up at https://www.meetup.com/columbusjs/events/313386504/
=======================================
A hand tracker gives you joints, not a gesture.
This talk shows how you get from raw joints to a "thumbs-up" in Unity: the pipeline that cleans up the data, how a gesture becomes a few 0-to-1 values within tolerance, and why orientation matters as much as finger shape.
Includes a live demo of tuning gesture thresholds.
Food and drinks will be available.
**LOCATION:**
6515 Longshore Loop, Suite 300, Dublin, OH 43017
