New Technology

**FIL ROUGE DE LA RENCONTRE :** les risques liés à l'Intelligence Artificielle et la réponse "accélérationniste" qui y est apportée. Nombreux sont les discours alarmants sur l'impact de ce développement technologique : sur le marché de l'emploi et l'avenir de la guerre, ainsi qu'un "risque existentiel" en cas de non-alignement, pouvant menacer la survie de l'humanité toute entière. Nous explorerons la position accélérationniste avec un biais clairement favorable : pourquoi continuer à développer l’IA rapidement peut rester la meilleure option malgré des risques réels, et quels arguments rendent cette position cohérente. Nous parlerons d’accélération au sens extropien et stratégique, pas d’e/acc en tant que courant culturel. Le format sera une discussion commune guidée, avec une courte introduction. *** *Envie de parler IA, science-fiction et biohacking autour d’un verre ? On réunit des esprits curieux et technophiles pour échanger idées, projets et questions, dans une ambiance détendue et accessible. Débutants bienvenus, experts également. On explore comment la science et les technologies peuvent améliorer la vie, en théorie et en pratique.* *Vous pouvez aussi rejoindre notre [communauté sur Discord](https://discord.gg/K3RjYH4).* **Pour nous trouver : à l'étage, la salle à droite en sortie des escaliers. Des affichettes "Meetup" seront visibles.**

## Overview An after-work evening to learn something useful and meet curious people. This edition focuses on money, AI, and better decisions #### **About The Human Salon** Human Salon is a series of intimate, afterwork gatherings in Paris for people who enjoy ideas and real conversations. Each edition brings together a small group of curious professionals to explore a topic through a short talk, then stay for discussion and mingling in a bar or similuar venue. It’s not a conference and not a typical networking event, just a thoughtful way to learn something interesting and meet people who share similar interests. #### **About this Session** This session is for people who are doing reasonably well financially, but don’t always feel confident about their decisions. It’s a **beginner-friendly** look at how to think more clearly about money and investing, and how AI can be used as a support tool to gain clarity and make better choices. **Topics include:** * Why do even smart, educated people struggle with financial decisions * Where AI can genuinely help to define a personal strategy * Where AI can be misleading * Practical frameworks you can apply to your own financial life The talk lasts **\~40 minutes**, followed by **Q&A**, then a short ice-breaker and open mingling. *This is not financial advice. The focus is on practical frameworks and ways of thinking you can apply to your own situation. The talk will be in English.* #### **About the speaker** Julie Colin spent the last 10+ years building digital products and leading product teams, including roles as Head of Product at ManoMano, and CPO at HomeExchange. Her interest in personal finance grew from her own journey, moving from saving to investing and noticing how often even highly educated people lack simple decision frameworks. Today, she explores how AI (especially ChatGPT) can help people think better about money. She also founded AdaLove, a community helping women take action on personal finance. #### **Event logistics** * **Doors open:** 6:45 pm (grab a drink!) * **Talk starts:** 7:15 pm * **Q&A + ice-breaker:** 8:00 pm * **Stay after to mingle and meet others**

Bonjour Nous vous souhaitons à toutes et tous nos meilleurs vœux pour cette nouvelle année. Et pour bien la démarrer, nous organisons notre 28e session le **mardi 27 janvier**, dans les bureaux d’**[AKUR8](https://fr.akur8.com/)** (26-28 Rue de Londres, 75009). Un grand merci à eux pour leur accueil ! ⏲ Comme d'habitude, **ouverture des portes à 18h30**, début des **talks à** **19h** puis **échanges & discussions post-event** autour d'un buffet sponsorisé par notre hébergeur. Au programme : 🍿 1️⃣**Talk « Cyber-Physique : quand les ondes deviennent des armes »** Dans ce talk, RAPATT, cyber-entrepreneur, fondateur de **[Stormsecurity.fr](https://stormsecurity.fr/)** et hacker, va vous faire découvrir comment transformer les ondes radio en arme : clonage NFC en direct, manipulation du spectre RF, et brouillage RF. Explorons avec lui les vulnérabilités du monde physique à travers le Flipper Zero et le HackRF One et comprenez pourquoi les frontières entre cyber et physique n'existent plus. 🍿 2️⃣ **Talk « Sécurité IA : Red Teaming Multimodal, Guardrails Omni-Modal et Abus du Protocole MCP – le nouveau paradigme de sécurité pour devenir l’enabler des cas d’usage IA sur les données sensibles. »** Dans ce talk, [Damien Raynal](https://www.linkedin.com/in/damienraynal/), AI Security Solution Architect, explore comment les dernières recherches en red teaming adaptatif, guardrails unifiés et attaques sur MCP transforment la sécurité des modèles, des agents et des flux multimodaux dans les systèmes d’IA modernes mais aussi qui doit être en charge des process de la sécurité et quelles sont les technologies à utiliser. Nous vous attendons nombreuses et nombreux le mardi 27 janvier !

**Participez à la première conférence IT Women Talks à Paris**, organisée par l’association **Yeeso** : * par et pour les femmes dans la tech * pour inspirer, représenter et donner de nouveaux rôles modèles * devant un public mixte, bienvenue à toutes et tous. ✨**Sponsor :** [Zenika](https://www.zenika.com/) : Cabinet de conseil IT qui accompagne les entreprises dans leur transformation numérique. **🎤 Le principe** Deux talks donnés par des femmes : * Un talk technique (dev, craft, architecture, cloud, data, accessibilité, testing, outils…) * Un talk “social tech” (inclusion, mixité, sensibilisation et transformation de l’IT) L’objectif ? Rendre l’IT plus équitable en apprenant à toutes et tous à croire en soi et en les autres, dès l’école et tout au long de la vie professionnelle. **🗺️ Lieu du meetup** 53 rue de Châteaudun, 75009 Paris. Accessible PMR ♿ Accès : \- Métro ligne 12 : Trinité \- d'Estienne d'Orves \- Métro ligne 7 et 9 : Chaussée d'Antin \- Métro ligne 3\, 12 et 13 : Gare Saint\-Lazare \- RER E : Gare Saint\-Lazare \- SNCF Ligne J et L : Gare Saint\-Lazare Accueil à partir de 18h30. Lancement du meetup à 19h. **❗Sécurité :** Vous devez vous inscrire sous votre nom et prénom. A l'accueil, une carte d'identité vous sera demandé. Sinon, l'entrée peut vous être refusé par mesure de sécurité. **Programme :** * Présentation de Yeeso Paris par Emmanuelle Aboaf (10 minutes) * Présentation de notre sponsor Zenika (10 minutes) * Sujet tech (50 minutes) : « *Tests d’UI : rendre la qualité accessible à toute l’équipe* » présentée par **Manon Carbonnel**, développeuse web chez Shodo Rennes. * Sujet social-tech (20 minutes) : « *Dépasser le syndrome de l'imposture après une reconversion dans la tech* » par **Rébecca KACI**, développeuse web chez Zenika. * Conclusion (5 minutes) Le meetup sera sous-titré par [Céline Ripolles](https://celineripolles.com/), sous-titreuse professionnelle. **Abstracts :** **« *Tests d’UI : rendre la qualité accessible à toute l’équipe* » présentée par Manon Carbonnel** Les tests d’UI sont souvent réservés aux spécialistes du front-end, tant ils semblent dépendre du DOM, des sélecteurs et de détails d’implémentation. Dans des architectures modernes — micro-services, micro-frontends, systèmes distribués — cette séparation devient rapidement un frein à la qualité logicielle. À partir d’un retour d’expérience client, je propose d’aborder les tests d’UI sous l’angle du craft : comme une pratique de conception à part entière, au service de la lisibilité, de la robustesse et du partage. J’explorerai les freins classiques à l’écriture de tests end-to-end efficaces — parcours utilisateurs multiples, évolutions fréquentes de l’interface, difficulté à choisir quoi tester — et montrerai comment le design des tests, appuyé sur des patterns d’architecture, permet de rendre la qualité accessible à toute l’équipe, y compris aux développeur·ses backend. Enfin, à travers une démonstration avec Playwright, je montrerai comment une developer experience pensée pour les tests facilite l’adoption de ces pratiques : API expressives, feedback rapide, outils de debug intégrés. Je vous montrerai également comment ces tests automatisés peuvent aussi favoriser l’accessibilité. **« *Dépasser le syndrome de l'imposture après une reconversion dans la tech* » par Rébecca KACI** En 2021, fraîchement diplômée d'un master en communication de la culture, comme pour beaucoup de personnes à ce moment-là, mon quotidien et mes ambitions professionnelles sont bouleversés. Sur un coup de tête, je me lance alors dans l'apprentissage de quelque chose que je ne connais pas du tout : le code. Cinq ans plus tard, je suis développeuse web. Le chemin n'a pas été facile, marqué par de nombreux doutes et une constante quête de légitimité. À travers ce talk, je vais vous partager mon expérience de reconversion et la manière dont j’ai appris à avancer malgré le syndrome de l’imposture. **🥗 Après les talks** Buffet froid sans alcool et végétarien. Un moment idéal pour échanger entre personnes passionnées de tech et découvrir l’écosystème parisien. 📚 **Bonus** Le livre Yeeso “IT Women” sera disponible à la vente : 52 portraits inspirants de femmes dans la tech, des articles et conseils concrets pour agir en faveur de l’inclusion. Certaines des femmes du livre seront présentes : l’occasion de les rencontrer, échanger… et pourquoi pas repartir avec une dédicace ✍️ 💡 **Infos pratiques** * Suivez-nous : [Linkedin](https://www.linkedin.com/company/yeeso-itwomen-network/posts/?feedView=all), [Tiktok](https://www.tiktok.com/@yeeso.itwomen.network) et [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/@yeeso-itwomen-network) * En savoir plus : [Le site de Yeeso](https://yeeso.fr/) * Soutenir Yeeso (don, partenariat, sponsoring, achat du livre) : [Hello Asso](https://www.helloasso.com/associations/yeeso) * Proposer un talk pour une prochaine édition : [Conference Hall](https://conference-hall.io/paris-it-women-talks-by-yeeso) * Contactez-nous : [team.paris@yeeso.fr](mailto:team.paris@yeeso.fr) ⚡ **Ne manquez pas ce premier IT Women Talks à Paris : réservez votre place gratuitement dès maintenant !**

Soixante-troisiène édition du C++ French User Group (C++Frug) Paris. Cette session sera hybride: * [eXalt](https://www.exalt-company.com/en-us/index.html) nous accueillera au 10 Rue Vauvilliers, 75001 Paris, France * Streaming sur Discord **Pour rentrer, il faudra signer le listing.** Avant de venir, vous pouvez rejoindre les serveurs Discord ([https://discord.gg/tjx9bFpBfC](https://discord.gg/tjx9bFpBfC) & [https://discord.gg/9aU6tZabJV](https://discord.gg/9aU6tZabJV)).

Programme de la soirée (heure de Paris): * 19h00 Welcome * 19h15 News of the C++ ecosystem * 19h20 Lightning talks * 20h10 Snacks & drinks * 20h40 Joel FALCOU -- From Acrobatics to Ergonomics - A Field Report on How to Make Libraries Helpful Si vous êtes intéressé pour présenter, vous pouvez nous joindre via Discord ou MP meetup. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Lightning talks prévus (mais venez avec les votres !) * Polymorphisme statique versus dynamique * C++ 2025 : le risque de l’immobilisme * Introduction aux concepts * Introduction aux modules par Mouad BEN GELOUNE, développeur C++ Senior et Florian CHARRIEAU, développeur C++ depuis plus de 10 ans, actuellement en mission à CA-CIB. En bon avocat du clean code, il aime passer du temps (souvent trop) à rendre le code plus lisible et plus maintenable. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **From Acrobatics to Ergonomics - A Field Report on How to Make Libraries Helpful** Thanks to features like concepts, C++20 promised to make template meta-programming more approachable and expressive, especially for library designers. But as we quickly learned, template programming can still be surprising or frustrating — in the worst-case scenario, it's both. In this talk, I’ll share lessons from the past 3–4 years of building high-performance, user-friendly C++ libraries, including: * **EVE**, a SIMD abstraction layer designed for performance and portability. * **KUMI**, a re-imagined tuple library with algorithmic support. * **KIWAKU**, a toolkit for multi-dimensional arrays that aims to be efficient and ergonomic. We’ll explore the practical challenges of designing ergonomic C++ APIs: * Error messages that make sense: \`static_assert\` or concepts? How to avoid large template error stacks? ... * APIs that align with user intuition: How do we provide options on the functions' semantics? How to design meaningful extension points, ... * How bold design decisions can pay off: going sideways with standard practices, turning CTAD upside-down, ... We'll discuss how C++20 features helped us reduce friction and increase clarity once we use them properly. If you’ve ever screamed into the void over template errors, please join in! **Joel FALCOU** is an associate professor at the University Paris-Saclay and Researcher at the LISN - the Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire des Sciences du Numériques - in Orsay, France. His research focuses on studying generative programming idioms and techniques to design tools for parallel software development. And for some reasons, he does all of that in C++. The main parts of his work are: * the exploration of Embedded Domain Specific Language design for parallel computing on various architectures; * the definition of a formal framework for reasoning about meta-programs. Joel is the co-host of the C++FRUG Meetup, president of the C++FRUG Association, co-organizes the CPPP Conference, and is part entrepreneur, being one of the co-founder of CODE RECKONS, a company focused on bringing people and company up to date to the best and newest C++.

**PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT NOTES:** 1. The dates listed for this series are about 95% reliable. We are completing our 2026 schedule as we speak, so minor adjustments are still occurring. 2. Each class in this series has an attendance fee, though this first offering is free on a first-come, first-served basis. 3. Each class, from BOTH a sign-up and fee perspective, is a separate entity. **Introduction:** HTML5 is the foundational technology for modern web development, serving as the standard markup language for structuring and presenting content on the World Wide Web. Developed through a collaboration between the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG), HTML5 provides a robust system of elements (tags) that tell a browser how to display text, images, and multimedia in a clear and meaningful way. It works in concert with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for presentation and JavaScript for interactivity, forming the core technology stack for virtually all websites and many web applications today. One of the significant advancements of HTML5 is the introduction of powerful new features and elements designed to improve functionality and simplify development. Key additions include native multimedia support via the \ and \ tags, allowing developers to embed media without third-party plugins. It also offers new form controls for better user input, such as date and email types, and introduces web storage capabilities to store data offline for enhanced performance. These features streamline the process of building rich, interactive web experiences. A significant focus of HTML5 is enhanced semantics and better structural organization of content. New semantic elements like , , , , and \ provide meaningful structure to documents, which aids in search engine optimization (SEO) and improves accessibility for assistive technologies. These elements define different parts of a webpage (e.g., a header for the top, a nav for navigation links, a footer for the bottom), making the code more readable and understandable for both developers and machines. This emphasis on clear structure helps in creating more logical and maintainable websites. Developing websites in today's competitive environment requires taking advantage of every technique you can to get the maximum exposure possible. Our HTML5 class will not only show you what's new in the HTML specification, but also the best way to develop optimized web pages that get the attention your client and/or company requires. **The breakdown of the four-class series is as follows:** **Class 1: Introduction to Web Structure and Basic HTML5** This class introduces the core concepts of web development, the history of HTML, and the fundamental structure of an HTML5 document. * **Topics**: * **Web Architecture Overview**: How browsers, servers, and web pages interact. * **HTML Fundamentals**: Understanding elements, tags, and attributes. * **Basic Document Structure**: Using !DOCTYPE html, html, head, and body. * **Text Formatting**: Headings (h1 to h6), paragraphs (p), and text-level semantics (e.g., strong, em, br). * **Lists and Links**: Creating ordered (ol) and unordered (ul) lists, and linking between pages using anchor tags (a). * **Activity**: Students create a basic personal webpage containing text, a list of hobbies, and a link to an external website. **Class 2: Semantic HTML5 and Multimedia Integration** Class 2 focuses on modern HTML5 elements that provide meaning (semantics) to content, improving accessibility and search engine optimization. It also covers adding images and multimedia. * **Topics**: * **Semantic Elements**: Understanding and implementing elements like header, footer, nav, section, and article. * **Images**: Adding images using the img tag and attributes like src, alt, width, and height. * **Multimedia**: Embedding audio and video content using the audio and video tags. * **File and Folder Structure**: Best practices for organizing project files and managing file paths. * **Activity**: Students refactor their Class 1 project to use a proper semantic layout and add an image and a link to a video file. **Class 3: Forms and User Input** This session is dedicated to building interactive HTML5 forms, which are essential for capturing user data and input. * **Topics**: * **Form Basics**: Using the form element, action and method attributes. * **Input Types**: Exploring various input types (e.g., text, password, checkbox, radio, date, submit). * **Form Elements**: Utilizing label, textarea, select, option, and button. * **Client-side Validation**: Implementing HTML5 validation attributes like required, minlength, and pattern. * **Activity**: Students build a complete contact form with different input fields, radio buttons, and basic HTML5 validation. **Class 4: Introduction to CSS3 and Basic Styling** The final class introduces Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to style the HTML content and make the web pages visually appealing and accessible. * **Topics**: * **CSS Fundamentals**: The role of CSS, selectors, properties, and values. * **Integrating CSS**: Using inline, internal, and external style sheets. * **The Box Model**: Understanding margin, padding, border, and content for basic layout. * **Basic Styling**: Changing colors, fonts, and text alignment. * **Accessibility Basics**: Identifying principles of web design usability and accessibility, including ARIA labels. * **Activity**: Students apply an external CSS file to their Class 3 form project to style the layout, colors, and fonts, culminating in a well-structured and styled webpage.

## Learn Infrastructure-as-Code (the FUN Way) — Through Minecraft 🎮☁️ **Joint Meetup: Azure CBUS × Columbus HashiCorp User Group** What if learning Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code didn’t feel like a whitepaper… but more like a game? Join us for a joint Azure CBUS and Columbus HashiCorp User Group meetup where **Mark Tinderholt** \(Principal Architect\, Microsoft Azure \| HashiCorp Ambassador \| “The Azure Terraformer”\) shows how **Minecraft** can be used as a surprisingly powerful way to understand real-world Infrastructure-as-Code concepts. In this session, Mark will demonstrate how Terraform and Azure can be used to provision, configure, and manage Minecraft servers—while teaching the same patterns you’d use for production cloud infrastructure. ### What we’ll cover * Infrastructure-as-Code fundamentals using **Terraform** * Provisioning real infrastructure on **Azure** * Applying **IaC best practices** (immutability, repeatability, versioning) * How playful environments like Minecraft make complex concepts *click* * Why learning through experimentation beats click-ops every time ### Who should attend * Developers, platform engineers, and cloud engineers * Terraform users (new or experienced) * Anyone curious about Infrastructure-as-Code but tired of boring examples * Minecraft fans who want to see it used in a totally unexpected way No prior Minecraft experience required—just curiosity and a willingness to learn infrastructure the fun way. Come for the blocks, stay for the Terraform. 🧱➡️📐 Want to be a speaker? submit your talk to our Call for Presenters!!! https://sessionize.com/cbus-hug-2026/
