**Sobre el evento:**
El sistema operativo entra al pipeline: modernizando operaciones con Red Hat Image Mode
Con Red Hat Image Mode, el sistema operativo deja de ser un componente administrado manualmente y pasa a integrarse al pipeline CI/CD como una imagen versionada, inmutable y automatizable. En esta sesión veremos cómo modernizar operaciones, reducir drift operacional y aplicar prácticas DevSecOps directamente sobre RHEL.
Súmate a nuestro primer Red Hat User Group del año 2026
Al finalizar tendremos pizzas y cervezas.

English Party June Event: Shannon’s Birthday + Going Away Party + Garage Sale!
🎉 **You're Invited to English Party's June Event!** 🎉 🎂 Shannon’s Birthday + ✈️ Going Away Party + 🏷️ Garage Sale!
📍 **Where:** Shannon's studio in Providencia, Region Metropolitana, Chile (join WhatsApp group below for exact location)
⏰ **When:** 4pm-10pm, Saturday, June 20
📱 **Join our free WhatsApp group** and you can RSVP before the general public! [https://chat.whatsapp.com/CC7wzkxlnukBzmwaK3ovkM](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CC7wzkxlnukBzmwaK3ovkM)
⚠️ *Since these events fill up far in advance and many people who RSVP "Yes" on Meetup don't end up coming, RSVP-ing on Meetup is no longer enough to guarantee your spot. I confirm attendees via WhatsApp. Thank you for understanding!* 🙏
**🌟 Lots of Big Changes!**
This month our group leader, Shannon, invites you to celebrate her birthday and upcoming move back to the U.S.! 🇺🇸
Don't worry though, it's not really a goodbye, it's the launch of a new era! 🚀 We will continue to enjoy English Party through online events 💻, the VIP membership 👑, and potential in-person events when Shannon visits Chile in the future! 🇨🇱
* 🧁 There will be pumpkin chocolate chip muffins for the first 12 people to arrive!
* 🧃 Please bring your own beverage (**NO ALCOHOL PLEASE** 🚫🍷) and a snack to share! 🥨
* 🛍️ Shannon will be selling her belongings and original art/prints! Great deals! 🎨
* 🎸 Shannon will also bring her guitar for a singalong - if you play too and want to bring yours, it’s more than welcome! Shannon is an amateur guitar-player - so she knows a few songs, but welcomes others to come who know how to play tunes we can all sing along to! 🎶
* 🎭 Additional activities include Charades and a low-key Dance Party! 💃🕺
* 🧊 There is a small fridge if your beverage needs refrigeration.
* 🍽️ I have napkins and a few plates and plastic silverware. I also have a few cups.
**⏱️ Schedule and Location Details**
The garage sale and party will be going starting from 4pm. The additional activities will probably start around 7:30/8:00pm (and the garage sale will also be going through the whole night). We will finish the party at 10:00pm, and after that, anyone who likes can go to another bar/restaurant nearby! 🍻
🚇 My studio is relatively close to Barrio Italia and also downtown Providencia. It’s close to the metro stations Pedro de Valdivia and Manuel Montt. Precise location is confirmed via WhatsApp.
✨ Come for the fun activities, excellent company, and English conversation! 🗣️ And to say goodbye to Shannon before she leaves Chile for a while! 👋
📲 Join our free WhatsApp group for exclusive updates, where you can also RSVP before the general public! [https://chat.whatsapp.com/CC7wzkxlnukBzmwaK3ovkM](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CC7wzkxlnukBzmwaK3ovkM)

**🎉 Welcome to English Party!🎉**
The purpose of our group is to encourage fluency in English while having FUN and making friends! 🤝 Our main activities rotate between arts and crafts 🖌️, game nights 🎲, and music (YES - singalongs and karaoke! 🎤).
* 🤔 Do you know some English, but freeze up in embarrassment when talking with native English speakers?
* 🥱 Are you bored with learning English in a traditional classroom setting?
* 💪 Do you crave the challenge of communicating in English in real-life?
* 🙌 Are you a fan of learning by doing?
* 🌍 Are you an English-speaking traveler or expat looking to connect with locals?
* 🎨 Do you enjoy Arts and Crafts? Boardgames? Singing? All of the above?
✅ If you answered yes to one or more of the above questions, chances are you'd have a blast with us in our group! We host both in-person (in Santiago, Chile 🇨🇱) and online experiences 💻. We would love to have you join us! ❤️

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 world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans.
Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven 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.

Drunken Philosophy: Where Is Everybody? The Fermi Paradox and the Great Filter
Welcome to Drunken Philosophy, a casual, curious, social discussion club. Come grab a drink and a seat at The Oracle.
**Optional topic for this meetup: Where is everybody?**
In 1950 the physicist Enrico Fermi was talking about aliens over lunch and asked a question that still has not gone away: if the universe is so vast and so old, and even a fraction of those billions of stars have planets, where is everyone? By the numbers the galaxy should be crowded with civilizations. Instead we look up and hear silence. That gap between "they should be everywhere" and "we see no one" is the Fermi Paradox.
One of the most unsettling answers is the idea of a **Great Filter**: somewhere on the road from dead chemistry to a galaxy-spanning civilization, there is at least one step that is almost impossible to get past. Maybe the filter is behind us. Maybe life starting at all, or simple cells becoming complex, or intelligence ever evolving, is the freak accident, and we already cleared the hard part. Or maybe the filter is ahead of us, and advanced civilizations reliably wipe themselves out before they spread.
Here is the part that messes with people. If we ever found life somewhere else, even pond scum on Mars, most people would call it the greatest discovery in history. But it might be the worst possible news. It would mean life is common, the early steps are easy, and the hard step is still in front of us. So the eerie silence overhead might actually be the best sign we could ask for.
**Questions to wrestle with:**
* Is it better to be alone? Would you rather we find alien life and learn we are not special, or find nothing and quietly improve our odds of surviving?
* Where do you bet the filter sits, behind us or ahead of us, and why?
* If it is ahead of us, what is it? Nuclear war, climate collapse, AI, something we cannot even picture yet? And can we do anything about a filter we cannot see coming?
* Does any of this change how you live, or how humanity should be spending its time and money right now?
As always the prompt is optional. Come for the conversation, stay for the drinks, and bring your own questions.
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.

Microsoft Build //localhost:louisville
On Thursday, June 18, 2026, we will meet in the 700N Conference Room at 700 N Hurstbourne Pkwy for a special Louisville .NET Meetup as we host **Microsoft Build //localhost:louisville**. Doors open at 6:00 p.m., and the presentation will begin promptly at 6:30 p.m. TEKsystems will provide food, so please RSVP to help us plan appropriately.
The session will also be streamed at **[https://twitch.tv/TaleLearnCode](https://twitch.tv/TaleLearnCode)**.
This month, we’ll dive into the most important announcements from **Microsoft Build 2026**. Chad Green will present a curated, developer‑focused walkthrough of the new capabilities across .NET, Azure, AI, developer tooling, and platform updates. We’ll explore what these announcements mean for architects and developers, how they fit into real‑world solutions, and which changes you can start applying immediately in your projects.
And then, Rob Richardson will present:
### **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:
* **Louisville .NET Meetup** (this page)
* **Microsoft Build //localhost:louisville registration**: [https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/reactor/events/27112/](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/reactor/events/27112/)
After the session, we’ll head to Brick House Tavern to continue the conversation over food and drinks.
