Jouons au conseil municipal
Les prochaines élections municipales auront lieu le 15 et le 22 mars prochain.
Ces élections qui ont lieu tous les 6 ans sont un thermomètre important de la vie politique à un an des élections présidentielle.
Mais finalement, quelles sont les décisions que doit prendre le conseil municipal avec ses compromis ? Privilégier les aspects écologiques ou sociaux…
C’est ce que je vous propose d’expérimenter lors de ce petit jeu de plateau !
Mettez-vous dans la peau d’un conseil municipal et prenez les meilleures décisions pour satisfaire vos citoyens !
La soirée débute à 19h avec une animation d’une durée de 1h30.
Nous poursuivons par un moment d’échange libre ensuite, autour d’un buffet-apéro.
Nous vous proposons d’amener à boire et à manger pour savourer ensemble un buffet partagé !
Meetup for French and English conversationalists of a "certain age."
Notre meet-up réunit une fois par semaine anglophiles et francophiles de plus de cinquante ans afin de discuter de tout et de rien. Le but est d'offrir la possibilité aux uns et aux autres de pratiquer la langue dans laquelle ils souhaiteraient se perfectionner dans un cadre convivial.
Nos directives sont de s'amuser et de respecter les différents points de vue et antécédents personnels. Il est interdit d'insulter ou de dénigrer d'autres membres en raison de leurs antécédents personnels.
Le meet-up se termine précisément à 18h. Si vous souhaitez rester après 18h, veuillez vous déplacer dans une autre partie du café afin que la direction comprenne bien que la réunion est terminée.
Nous vous invitons à prendre au moins une boisson pour soutenir le cafe. Si vous arrivez tard, vous pouvez commander au bar et le café vous apportera votre commande.
Our meet-up group meets once a week. We are English and French speakers of a "certain age" (over 50), and we meet to talk about everything and nothing. The goal is to offer each of us the chance to practice whichever language he/she is learning, or just to have a conversation in either language with a friendly group in a relaxing atmosphere.
Our guidelines are to have fun and to be respectful of different points of view and personal backgrounds. Insulting or disparaging other members because of their personal background is not permitted.
Our meet-up ends promptly at 6pm. If you wish to remain after 6 pm, please move to a different section of the café so it is clear to management that the meet-up has ended.
Please buy at least a drink to support the café. If you arrive late, you can order at the bar and they will bring your order to you.

Cosy Cave Conversations // 10ème // Café philo in English
**Step into the laid-back charm of Cosy Cave Conversations**, a Parisian philosophy chat that's more relaxed than a cat in a sunbeam 🐈 🌞 Gather with a bunch of easygoing souls, share thoughts on the good life and its mysteries, enjoy a beverage, and have a good laugh.
A few things to be aware of:
* **Please** **don't show up without a spot** (we aim to keep it cosy and we always have a waiting list these days — check if you’re on the list or the waiting list)
* If it's your first event, it's essential you **turn up early, or at the latest on time (<7pm)** so you understand how it works, what the topic is and don't interrupt the session
* The **session runs from 7pm to 8:30pm** where we focus on the discussion, but don't worry, you'll have a chance to socialise, introduce yourselves and continue the chat after the session.
**If you’re running late** (the curtains are closed), that’s okay, but please wait to join us in the break rather than interrupting the session.
* Please read the **tips below** for a good session before coming along
**How does it work?** We embrace the café-philo method — proposing intriguing topics on the night (up to 3), choosing one together, and diving into everything from consciousness, community, death and god, while managing to keep it light and easy 🦦
**Forget the stiff atmosphere**, we're all about small groups (\~10 people) and unpretentious chats with no homework required. No need for a philosophy degree, just bring your open mind and a dash of curiosity.
**Join us every Wednesday 19h-20h30 at Les Acolytes** — because pondering the profound is better with good company (and a pint). See you there! 🎉
A few tips for a great session:
* come with an **open and curious mind** 🧠
* **prioritise listening to others and asking questions** without interrupting or long monologues 👂
* we put a strong **emphasise on giving everyone a chance to contribute to the discussion**, so try and be aware of how much space and time you take up when speaking 🐻❄️
* we prioritise **intellectual accessibility**: this is not an academic group therefore we ask to keep any philosophy jargon to a minimum and instead explain any concepts in plain english 🤠
* we are an **apolitical group** that focuses on discussing and exploring philosophical ideas without endorsing or aligning with any specific political or religous ideologies. Our aim is to encourage open, unbiased dialogue centered on philosophical inquiry within a safe and respectful environment 🐥

Grafana & Friends France : édition de Mars chez Station F
🚀 Bienvenue à l’édition de Mars de notre meetup Grafana & Friends France !
Nous sommes ravis de vous inviter au prochain meetup Grafana qui se déroulera à Station F, à Paris, via notre partenariat avec AWS – un immense merci à eux pour leur accueil chaleureux !
Rejoignez-nous pour des discussions techniques, des pizzas et des boissons bien fraîches !
**\*\*\***
Les portes ouvrent à 18h30, et les présentations débuteront à 19h !
**Au programme :**
🎙️ **Vos modèles ML en production sont-ils sous contrôle ?** *Fiabilité, conformité, sécurité : construire un dashboard Grafana qui couvre les trois.*
Déployer un modèle en production, tout le monde sait faire. Le garder sous contrôle —(fiabilité, coûts, conformité et sécurité ) c'est une autre histoire. Prompt injection, model evasion, data poisoning : les menaces sur les workloads ML sont réelles et largement sous-monitorées. Dans ce talk, on construit ensemble un dashboard Grafana qui couvre les trois dimensions, avec des alertes concrètes sur des patterns d'attaque détectables en temps réel.
**Structure :**
1. **Le problème** : Un modèle en prod n'est pas une API classique : non-déterminisme, dégradation silencieuse, coûts variables… et surface d'attaque spécifique
2. **Les métriques qui comptent** : Latence, token consumption, drift detection côté fiabilité. Puis la couche sécu : détection d'anomalies sur les inputs, taux de refus anormaux, exfiltration de données via les outputs
3. **Démo live** : Dashboard Grafana avec trois volets : santé du modèle, coûts, et panneau sécurité avec alertes sur des patterns suspects
4. **AI Act & NIS2 : pourquoi ça va devenir obligatoire** : Exigences de logging, traçabilité et monitoring des systèmes AI à haut risque. Ceux qui monitorent déjà ont une longueur d'avance
5. **Ce qu'on ne peut pas encore faire** (2 min) : Limites actuelles et pistes ouvertes
**Speaker**: Samuel Desseaux, CTO spécialisé en observabilité industrielle et sécurité des systèmes critiques.
🎙️ **OpenTelemetry à grande échelle : corréler les signaux et stratégie de sampling**
Déployer OpenTelemetry à grande échelle pose rapidement des défis de volume, de coûts et de lisibilité des données. Lorsque traces, métriques et logs se multiplient, il devient essentiel de conserver les bons signaux tout en préservant leur corrélation. Dans ce talk, nous verrons comment mettre en place des stratégies de sampling adaptées et comment maintenir la corrélation entre les signaux pour garder une observabilité exploitable dans des systèmes distribués à fort volume. À travers des exemples d’architecture et des bonnes pratiques, nous explorerons comment construire une pipeline OpenTelemetry scalable et efficace.
**Speaker**: Alain Pham, Principal Solutions Engineer chez Grafana Labs
💬 **20h/20h30** : Q&As et Networking
🔚 **21h30** : The End
Nos meetups sont ouverts à tous, débutants ou experts. Au plaisir de pouvoir vous y retrouver !

Free in Person Meeting - Get Over Losses and Betrayls
Do you want more motivation and confidence to build Lasting Relationships?
This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships.
Are you burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse.
Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival, while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well.
Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship.
Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action?
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships!
Break free from self imposed limitations
Here we will discuss:
• How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes.
• Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you?
• Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it?
• Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love?
• Fights & arguments - what's really behind them?
• What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others?
• How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change?
• Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them?
• How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about?
• How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career?
Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general.
Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person.
Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life.

How to Get Over Losses and Betrayls & Build Lasting Relationships
Join us for this free, in person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships.
Do you want more motivation and confidence to build lasting relationships?
Are you burdened by a stressful relationship?
Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse.
Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival, while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well.
Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship.
Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action?
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships!
Break free from self imposed limitations
Here we will discuss:
• How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes.
• Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you?
• Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it?
• Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love?
• Fights & arguments - what's really behind them?
• What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others?
• How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change?
• Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them?
• How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about?
• How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career?

Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone
Drake Lundstrom is presenting:
Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone
Abstract:
Have you heard the trend of people deploying code anywhere from checkout lines to doctors' offices? In this talk, you will learn how to talk to your phone and have an app on Azure to show your friend 5 minutes later. The basic DevOps tools you already know, plus a little bit of AI magic, are all you need!
If you want to follow along, the demo will be in Azure with GitHub Actions and GitHub Copilot, and you can have it set up on your phone by the end of the session. Just come in with an Azure account and a GitHub repo.
Join us for pizza, drinks, and networking @ Improving's office. Doors open at 5:45.
