Könyvhét & Könyves Duma | Book Week & Casual Book Chat
**English below ----------------------**
Ez most az elsĆ picit kötetlenebb könyves esemĂ©nyĂŒnk lesz. Nem egy konkrĂ©t könyvet fogunk kibeszĂ©lni, hanem inkĂĄbb kinĂ©zĂŒnk az Ănnepi KönyvhĂ©tre, Ă©s meglĂĄtjuk, hogyan mƱködik ez a lazĂĄbb forma. De aggodalomra semmi ok, a könyves kibeszĂ©lĆ Ă©s a duma mindenkĂ©ppen az esemĂ©ny rĂ©sze lesz. :)
A menetrend a következĆ:
**14:00 â GyĂŒlekezĆ Ă©s bemutatkozĂĄs**
A Vörösmarty-szobor környĂ©kĂ©n talĂĄlkozunk. Egy nagyobb tĂĄrsasĂĄgot keress, Ă©s hogy biztosra menj: a kezemben egy Moby Dick könyv lesz, szĂłval ha ezt lĂĄtod valakinĂ©l, mi vagyunk azok. KezdĂ©skĂ©nt tartunk egy gyors bemutatkozĂĄst, Ă©s ĂĄtbeszĂ©ljĂŒk, ki mit szeretne megnĂ©zni. Ăn szemĂ©ly szerint csak körbe akarok nĂ©zni Ă©s megĂĄllni ott, ami Ă©pp megtetszik, de ha neked komolyabb terveid vagy konkrĂ©t cĂ©lpontjaid vannak, nyugodtan jelezd, biztosan talĂĄlsz majd valakit, aki veled tart.
**14:15 â IndulĂĄs a standok közĂ©**
14:15-kor elindulunk, szĂłval kĂ©rlek Ărj az esemĂ©nyhez, ha kĂ©sel. Ha nem Ă©rsz oda kezdĂ©sre, az sem gond, kĂ©sĆbb is simĂĄn be tudsz csatlakozni, rugalmas az egĂ©sz. A megbeszĂ©lt irĂĄnyok mentĂ©n kicsit szĂ©tvĂĄlunk kisebb csoportokra, Ă©s teszĂŒnk egy kört a forgatagban.
**15:00 â TalĂĄlkozĂł a KiskirĂĄlylĂĄnynĂĄl(VigadĂł tĂ©r)**
A nĂ©zelĆdĂ©s utĂĄn 15:00-kor a KiskirĂĄlylĂĄny-szobornĂĄl talĂĄlkozunk Ășjra a VigadĂł tĂ©ren. VĂĄrunk egy picit, hogy mindenki odaĂ©rjen, majd egyĂŒtt ĂĄtgyalogolunk a VĂĄroshĂĄza Parkba (ez egy laza 10 perces sĂ©ta lesz).
**15:20 - 17:00 â Könyves duma a VĂĄroshĂĄza Parkban** LetelepedĂŒnk a parkban, ahol picit ĂĄtbeszĂ©ljĂŒk a könyvheti Ă©lmĂ©nyeket, meg persze jöhet a kötetlen beszĂ©lgetĂ©s bĂĄrmilyen könyvrĆl. A hivatalos rĂ©szĂ©t 17:00-kor zĂĄrjuk, de utĂĄna is ott lehet maradni tovĂĄbb, ameddig van kedvĂŒnk sztorizni.
Gyertek, nĂ©zzĂŒnk szĂ©t, aztĂĄn dumĂĄljunk egy jĂłt a parkban!
**English version / International attendees:**
This is our first casual, free-form event. Instead of discussing a specific book, weâll visit the Festive Book Week together and see how this format works.
* **14:00 â Meetup:** Near the Vörösmarty statue. Look for a bigger group and a guy holding a **Moby Dick** book. We'll do a quick intro and share what everyone wants to check out.
* **14:15 â Heading out:** We'll explore the stands in smaller groups. If you're late, just drop a comment here and catch up with us later.
* **15:00 â Re-grouping:** At the Little Princess Statue (KiskirĂĄlylĂĄny) at VigadĂł Square, followed by a 10-minute walk to VĂĄroshĂĄza Park.
* **15:20 - 17:00 â Book Chat:** We'll settle down in VĂĄroshĂĄza Park to talk about our Book Week finds and books in general. The official event ends at 17:00, but feel free to stay longer!
> đ **Language note:** Since this is a local event, most attendees will likely speak Hungarian, but the organizers and many of us speak fluent English. Feel free to join us, we are happy to chat in English and make sure you're included!

Beginner/Intermediate Guitar Class
Looking forward to see you again this Sunday!
Tea and sweets are served right after the class to socialize and chat about random things. And of course I'm ready to answer your questions.
**General description of the class:**
Our class is open both for complete beginners, as well as intermediate players who want to level up their skills.
We will have enough time to cover the basics (for newcomers), discuss what we would like to improve and get playing! I also speak Hungarian, so if there is anyone who doesnât understand English, I will translate on the go.
Any newcomers are welcome and I will help you to get started and develop together with others.
**What to bring:**
* A pen and notebook, so you can take notes as needed.
* Guitar (if you don't have one, you can use mine during the class, but definitely you should get a guitar later if you want to learn guitar properly).
This event is totally **free of charge**, **but I appreciate donations, which helps me, the organizer, to cover the bills. Recommended donation: 2,500 HUF.**
Feel free to **bring your friends**. We have enough space!
**I recommend joining our Telegram channel** to get notified about announcements or any cancellations: https://t.me/budapestGuitarClub
Open Dharma Budapest - Free Meditation in a Teahouse
Open Dharma Budapest is a friendly meditation sangha for anyone interested in meditation. Every Sunday we gather for 1â1.5 hours at a local tea house to sit together, share, and support each other on the path.
What to expect: Each session begins with a 20-minute silent sit, followed by an open, voluntary sharing of our experiences â a space to process what arises in practice, together.
Attention: This is not a guided meditation class. We explore a range of techniques rooted in TheravÄda Buddhism, with a modern and pragmatic approach - open to both seasoned practitioners and complete beginners.
Your host: Sessions are hosted by Maria East, a long-term practitioner of TheravÄda, VajrayÄna, and Dzogchen, with over 10 silent retreats over the last 5 years. Maria is also a clinical psychologist in training, who is happy to offer additional support if practice brings up anything challenging.
You're welcome to enjoy a cup of tea before the session ([Menu](https://okuma.space/menu/)). Please [book here ](https://okuma.resos.com)and come earlier if you wish so (for tea).
[PLEASE RSVP HERE ](https://okuma.space/event/open-dharma-budapest-free-meditation-2/)to receive further instructions on how to get in for the Meditation.

F\*ck the Small Talk has traveled the world from Berlin, London, Lisbon, to Buenos Aires, and is now in **Budapest!**
âš **WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?**
FTST is an out-of-the-box **social experience** where strangers come together for an afternoon of meaningful, fun, and deep conversation. Itâs also a different & cool way of meeting new people by getting a bit out of your comfort zone and skipping the small talk!
Join us for **games**, **talks**, and **connections** with **friends you havenât met yet**. Join if you get annoyed after being asked what you do, where you are from, and how long you've been in Budapest every single time you meet someone. If you feel that there are better questions in life, this is the place for you.
âš **HOW DOES IT WORK?**
We start with a short & sweet intro talk followed by a few light-hearted group games to warm up. After that, we split you up into small groups and start with the conversation rounds (with 3-4 people). We'll have awesome question cards that will guide the flow of the conversation. You'll be guided by an experienced host (Keely, you'll love her!) who'll make sure everything goes smoothly.
**âš HOW TO JOIN?**

**âš WHAT THEY SAY**
âThis is the kind of activity **humanity needs every weekend**. Thank you for all.â
*\- Sonya*
âF\*ck the Small Talk changes the narrative from *"Where are you from?"* to *"When was the last time you laughed uncontrollably?"* and I think **that's beautiful.**â
\- Monika
"Itâs a **wonderful** **experience**, itâs like being a kid again, when you were at the park, playing with other kids, and just decided you were going to be best friends for the next hours. Maybe youâll never see those kids again. But that hour was amazing because you both opened up and trusted each other."

**âš FAQ**
**âą Can I come alone?**
Of course, everyone does!
**âą Can I be late?**
Please don't! Late arrivals will disrupt the floooooooow.
**âą I signed up but never got an invite. Why?**
We usually get a high volume of sign-ups, yet we like keeping it cozy & only invite around 30 people. Please try again next time if you do not receive an invite - no hard feelings
**âą Is this a networking or dating event?**
Nope! Think of us as the *anti-networking* and *anti-speed dating* event. Thereâs no pressure, no pitches, and no cringy icebreakers. Instead, we create spaces where strangers can connect through fun & meaningful conversations. Itâs all about authentic connection, no business cards or romantic expectations required. (doesnât mean it *canât* happen, itâs just not the intention!)

Citadella Sunset Walk
With the summer solstice just around the corner, there's no better way to spend a warm evening than exploring one of Budapest's most spectacular viewpoints.
Join us for a sunset walk around the newly renovated Citadel this Saturday.

Danube Canoe Trip
We will meet, arrive at the location, and collect the equipment.
Then weâll have a safety briefing and basic paddling instruction.
After that, weâll launch the boats and practice a little in the bay. Children must wear life jackets. Adults who can swim may choose not to wear them, but must still keep them in the canoe.
We will paddle downstream, go around the cape, and enter the so-called dead branch â where there is almost no current. Weâll see swans, ducks, herons, and other birds. In sunny weather, we may spot turtles. There is also a chance to encounter an otter or even a roe deer on the shore.
On the way back, weâll pass through a narrow channel in the reeds and then under the hanging branches of fairytale-like trees. And for sure, we will definitely meet the crocodile!
The total route is 9 km â an ideal distance for beginners. Weâll have lunch in a meadow, and the children will be able to play and swim in the bay.

*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, weâll 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. Weâll 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. Weâll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.

### **GitOps: Easy Deploy and Even Easier Rollback**
GitOps isn't just for containers. The methodology of deploying from a build is now baked into our culture. Take it a touch farther with infrastructure as code and a few extra techniques, and you can reliably deploy to any platform: cloud, on-prem, container, PaaS, and more. Join us as we learn the methodology of GitOps, the critical pieces you need in place, and the elegance of rollbacks with GitOps. You'll leave with a working repo of deployment techniques that doesn't consume any paid tools or container-specific techniques.
**Important:** To participate fully, please RSVP in **both** places:

Smart Search + AI: An Outcome-Driven Journey from IDP to a Suite of AI
Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans.
We created Smart Search, the worldâs largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping whatâs possible. Since then, weâve built a suite of AIâdriven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomesâaccelerating benefits decisions for our Nationâs Veterans.
Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcomeâdriven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served.
This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation.
