OCaml Programming

**Details 🚀** April 28 is Superhero Day. And no superhero leaves home without their Robin. This year, we're calling it an AI Agent. Join us for an exploration of AI agents: how they work, what they can actually *do*, and the workflows you never knew you needed them for! We'll be diving deeper than usual, hands-on with **Notion's** agent capabilities. Led by **[Liberatus](https://www.linkedin.com/in/liberatus/)** (ex-Amazon, recent Notion Hackathon winner), we'll discover the agentic way of building. **Complexity Level: ⭐⭐ (2/3 stars)** This one's a step up from our regular events. You'll get the most out of it if you've already played with prompting or understand how AI tools work. Coding skills aren't mandatory, but comfort with experimentation is! **Format 🛠️** Small groups (2–3 people) tackle open-ended challenges using Notion agents. The goal: learn how agents think differently, build something you didn't think was possible, and vibe with people who get it. Our friends from QuantSpark happily provided us with their space and will treat us with some snacks and refreshments 👾 **New to agents?** No worries! Liberatus kicks us off with a guide to agent fundamentals and example use cases so you can jump in without overthinking it. *** **Schedule 🕒** (Doors open early—aim for 6:50 PM so we start on time) * 6:00 – Presentation: Agent fundamentals from Liberatus * 6:15 – Challenge assignment + team formation 🤝 * 6:15 – Round 1: Build together 💻 * 7:00 – Break (grab a drink, swap ideas, compare what your agents are doing) 🍺 * 7:20 – Round 2: Keep building 🏗️ * 7:50 – Optional demos 📺 * 8:10 – Hang out, network, make friends ✌️ *** **Who is it for?** Anyone curious about what AI agents actually do. Folks who've tinkered with prompting, designers thinking about automation, people building with Notion, or anyone who wants to see where agent-powered workflows can go. **What to bring** * Laptop! 💻 * A workflow or problem you're curious about (optional, we have dummy data) 📋 * Vibes ⚡ 👉 No pressure, no gatekeeping. Just people exploring what agents can do, together.

Spring is properly kicking in, and for our April meetup, we’re heading back to a crowd favorite: **The Light Bar** near Liverpool Street. If you haven't joined us here before, the venue is set inside a beautifully restored Victorian power station from 1893. It’s got a brilliant atmosphere, great drinks, and plenty of space to spread out. With the evenings finally getting a bit lighter, it's the perfect backdrop for catching up with everyone. **​What is Product Pints, anyway?** ​It's simple: Forget the stuffy presentations, Product Pints is all about meaningful connections and stimulating conversations for product people. Our diverse crowd includes everyone from aspiring PMs to seasoned CPOs, entrepreneurs, developers, designers, and tech enthusiasts. ​Need advice on a tricky problem? Curious what other PMs are building? Or just want to share a beer with your peers? This is the perfect opportunity to grow your network and launch some genuinely great chats! **​P.S. If your company is interested in sponsoring future events in 2026, please reach out to us at hello@productpints.com - thanks!**

Join us for a new Guix Social in-person meetup. Plenty of Guix, Guile, and Free Software hacking and chit-chat. ISN'T THIS EXCITING?!?! :) Bring your own device if you fancy demoing something or for some hands-on hacking. Get in touch if there's anything you'd like to give a talk about. **Venue** Reckon Digital 20 Farringdon Street London EC4A 4AB Please RSVP by 3pm on the day, as attendees' names will have to be communicated to the building's reception by that time. **Code of conduct** We, Guix Social's organisers, intend to create an open, friendly, and safe environment where people from the most diverse backgrounds can get together, learn about, teach, and discuss Guix and related topics in a welcoming and constructive way.

III: You have fought your way into the thawing city and its haunted corpse is ripe to be picked clean. You inspect your hoard; the treasure and knowledge you have looted so far are a good start, but a mere taste of what awaits in the city proper. You let a coin slip between your fingers as you hear a ghastly screech from deeper in the city - the guardians of Frostgrave will not yield their treasures easily, things are about to get much harder. The snows are beginning to recede, revealing the shattered ruins of **Frostgrave** — a once-great city of wizard-kings, buried for centuries beneath ice and legend. Now rival sorcerers return, leading warbands into the frozen streets in search of lost spells, ancient artefacts, and forgotten power. This series is **a beginner-friendly Frostgrave Campaign running through this spring**. New joiners are more than welcome! Players will begin with a **Level 0 wizard and a 400gc warband**, venturing into the ruins to gather treasure, gain experience, and grow in power as the campaign unfolds. Most games during the campaign will be played as **multiplayer (1v1 or 3-4 player free-for-all) matches**, creating plenty of opportunities for **XP, gold, and some secret campaign bonuses**. Expect spellcasting, treasure hunting, wandering monsters, and plenty of wizard duels among the ruins. **New players are very welcome.** If you’ve never played Frostgrave before, this event is the perfect place to start. Spare warbands and guidance will be available for anyone trying the game for the first time. ### Not signed up? If you're interested, don’t forget to join the **LWG Frostgrave Campaign WhatsApp Chat** to stay up to date with the campaign and future games. Not yet part of the community? Speak to an organiser and we’ll get you connected. ### Cancellations If you can’t make it, please update your RSVP to **“Not Going”** by editing your RSVP. This helps us manage table space and ensure everyone gets a game. ### About the London Wargaming Guild The LWG is a community of **tabletop gamers across London**, running regular events covering narrative campaigns, RPGs, skirmish games, and large-scale wargaming. If you'd like to be part of the community, reach out to the organiser and we’ll help connect you to the right groups. We love seeing your hobby progress — share your games and models with us on Instagram **@lwarguild** for *WIP Wednesday* and *Finished Friday*.

Agent memory is a mess. Most teams are stitching together a vector store, a graph database, and some middleware - three systems to manage, three potential failure points, and no guarantees that any of it stays consistent. It works until it doesn't. In this meetup, we're looking at what it actually takes to solve this properly. Not a quick fix, not another abstraction layer - memory that's transactional, structured, and built into the database itself. We'll look show what that looks like in practice with Spectron, SurrealDB's brand new agent memory system. We'll also walk through a full-stack knowledge graph RAG system - end-to-end, real code, real trade-offs - plus a guest talk from LangChain. Hard questions welcome. Drinks & pizza on us. *** **Talks** Tobie Morgan Hitchcock (CEO, SurrealDB) **Spectron: What agent memory looks like when it's built into the database** Martin (Solutions Engineer, SurrealDB) **Full-stack knowledge graph RAG with agentic memory** Igor Repka (Solutions Architect, LangChain) **Details coming soon!** *** **Agenda** * 18:00 - Doors + drinks + pizza * 18:30 - Welcome * 18:35 - Talks + Q&A * 20:00 - Drinks + networking * 20:30 - Close *** **About the speakers** **[Tobie Morgan Hitchcock](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tobiemorganhitchcock/) (CEO & Co-Founder, SurrealDB)** Tobie Morgan Hitchcock is CEO & Co-Founder of SurrealDB, an AI-native, multi-model database for modern applications.

It feels like we just saw each other 🤷. Join members of the local design and UX community for our monthly breakfast. For May we’re stopping in for Rooh’s popup breakfast/cafe concept. You know someone is getting the lobster yuzu croissant, and that’s not even the prettiest thing on the menu!.

We connect you with up to 30 Men or Women tennis partners close to your PLAYING REGION and skill level. This program is less competitive, no champions crowned, no league standings just dedicated tennis partners who want to meet up with you on the courts. Players will meet up to play a tennis match or just to hit around. Just go through the [Join Page](https://www.tenniscolumbus.com/partner-program) to enter this program.

**Latest Dojo Location!** **Knotty Pine Brewing** 1765 W 3rd Ave, Columbus, OH 43212 We're going to try a new dojo location for a few weeks and see how it works Dojos are informal Python group study sessions where everyone interested in Python gathers to learn about Python, help others with Python, or just hang out. Everyone is welcome from Python beginners to experts. Bringing a laptop is encouraged (we'll have extension cords and power strips). If there's something you want to learn leave a comment on this invite so we can plan ahead. We're looking for speakers for our Monthly Meetups! Fill out the form if you are interested in presenting to the Python Community. https://forms.gle/ehSfUAC2WgR34Crq9

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
