Coding Dojo at Spektrix
We are excited to host our coding dojo with Spektrix! We'll kick off with an introduction to TDD, its core principles, and following disciplined emergent design.
Through hands-on pairing and mob programming, you'll experience how writing tests first doesn't just catch bugs, it shapes cleaner, more intentional code from the ground up.
**What about AI tooling?**
We encourage the use of AI tooling! We will briefly walk through how such tooling can act as multiplier, not to shortcut the discipline of TDD.
**Don't have AI tooling?**
No problem. TDD is a discipline that stands on its own, with or without AI. But if it's something you'd like to try, we can pair you with somebody who has the tools set up.
Join us for an evening of coding, food and drinks. Come and code along, share ideas, discuss best practices with Test Driven Development and learn from our expert Crafters and your peers in the London Software Craftsmanship community.
**What’s the format?**
After a short intro, we’ll get into groups/pairs or work solo, whatever people feel most comfortable with, and start building.
You choose how you want to work and what language you want to code in.
This session is about collaborating with others, becoming a better developer and building your network, in a fun, relaxed environment.
We'll be sharing ideas, discussing best practices and using this as an opportunity to learn from our fellow coders.
All levels of experience very welcome, if you want to brush up on your Test Driven Development skills or are a complete novice, do come along. All welcome!
All you need to do is bring a laptop if you’d like to code along - please have your preferred language and editor setup.
**Food and Drinks**
Pizza and drinks will be provided upon arrival
freeCodeCamp x Encode | AI - Workshop: Vibecoding Using Local AIs
# Learn how to use open-source harnesses like OpenCode & Pi w/ your own LLM and with it, build a real-world application
**Registration to this event is only valid through the Luma platform:** [https://luma.com/11txn8gq](https://luma.com/11txn8gq?utm_source=meetup-dot-com)
Hello code campers!
Since everyone is talking about using harnesses such as **Anthropic Claude** or **OpenAI Codex**, meaning, everyone is probably tired of hearing about them, we've decided to go in a different direction and explore other, lesser known things such as, [OpenCode](https://opencode.ai/?utm_source=luma) and [Pi DOT Dev](https://pi.dev/?utm_source=luma).
Come and join us and learn how to work with a wide range of open-source large language models (**LLMs**) such as **DeepSeek V4**, **Gemma**, **Kimi K2**, and **GLM** across various local-first environments. This comprehensive workshop is designed to teach you what is a code harness, how many types of them there are out there (you might be familiar with **Claude Code** or **Codex** or **CoPilot** but there are others and since the big-tech companies are moving to token-based usage, why not run your own solution locally). Also, we'll explore how to go about having effective agentic coding workflows while benchmarking model performance and hardware requirements.
We will go through the setup process, focusing on how to install the desired LLM runner like Ollama or LMstudio locally.
This will be our **7th** event in our series of **local-first, open-source** AI events; therefore, we will try to focus on building a setup that doesn't depend on Big Tech but on smaller open-source tech instead.
This workshop is open to all levels, from beginners to experts.
Bring your laptop (make sure it's fully charged as local LLMs tend to be power-hungry), and don't forget to bring your coding gear (hoodie).
This workshop will be most likely accompanied by a guest speaker (TBD).
***
## Prerequisite
Prerequisite: a local Ollama, LMStudio installation or equivalent (but if you don't have any of that, don't worry, come a bit early and we will help you).

AI Meetup for building AI workflow in production
**Important:** Register on the [event website](https://www.aicamp.ai/event/eventdetails/W2026061110) is required for admission.
**RSVP on meetup is turned off**
Welcome to the AI meetup in London, in collaboration with **Coder and Netmind**. Join us for deep dive tech talks on AI, GenAI, LLMs and Agents, hands-on experiences on code labs, workshops, and networking with speakers and fellow developers.
**Agenda:**
\* 6:00pm\~6:30pm: Checkin and Networking
\* 6:30pm\~6:45pm: Welcome/community update
\* 6:45pm\~8:30pm: Tech talks and Q&A
\* 8:30pm\~9:30pm: Open discussion & Mixer
**Tech Talk: Scale AI Workflows**
**Speaker:** Eric Paulsen (Coder)
Abstract: This meetup is for developers and platform teams who want to understand what it actually takes to move from AI experimentation to production-ready workflows. We’ll focus on how teams are redesigning their development workflows to work with AI, not just adding tools on top. That includes how to structure workflows, manage agents, and introduce the right level of control without killing developer velocity. No hype. No tool comparisons. Just a clear look at why most AI workflows fail and what actually works at scale.
**Tech Talk: AI-DLC: Navigating the AI Development Lifecycle with Kiro**
**Speaker:** Ryan Tan (AWS)
**Abstract:** This session explores the evolving AI Development Lifecycle (AI-DLC) through the lens of Kiro's current capabilities and future direction. We'll cover Kiro's desktop/CLI deployment model and the path toward broader accessibility, early-stage developments around Kiro's upcoming autonomous agent capability, and how an agnostic philosophy — enabling choice of IDE, LLM backend, and cloud provider — shapes a flexible, developer-first approach to AI-assisted software development. Whether you're evaluating AI coding tools or architecting developer platforms, this session will give you a practical view of where the ecosystem is heading.
**Tech Talk: Earning the Right to Step Away: AI Agents in Everyday Practice**
**Speaker:** Billy Michael (GlobalLogic)
**Abstract:** You've seen the demos. This is what happens after them. It's a look at the agents and skills we actually run inside GlobalLogic, day to day, on our own engineering and business work, and what it took to trust them. We started where most teams do: Claude Code in a terminal, with a human framing every task and pressing enter. The interesting part begins when no one is at the keyboard. I'll walk through the pattern we use to get there: build a skill by hand, live with it until it's boring, then let an event pull the trigger. The unit is always the same, a skill; what changes is how much autonomy the stakes justify.
**Tech Talk: Trustable Agentic AI**
**Speaker:** Xiangpeng Wan (Netmind)
**Abstract:** NetMind.AI's [NarraNexus](https://www.narra.nexus/?utm_source=AI+Camp&utm_medium=Page&utm_campaign=20260611+Event) is a ready-to-run team of agents that already remember, collaborate, and use tools. Start from a template, or compose your own.

In-Person: Streaming meetup Apache Kafka® for Fraud Detection & Infinite Kafka
Join us on June 11th from **6:00pm** for a Data Streaming meetup hosted by **Moniepoint!**
**PLEASE bring your PHOTO ID and REGISTER with your First and Last Name. For security purpose**
🗓 **Agenda:**
* 6:00pm – 6:30pm: Food/Drinks and Networking
* 6:30pm - 7:15pm: Tom Scott, CEO, Streambased
* 7:15pm - 8:00pm: *Abraham Imohiosen,* Engineering Manager
* 8:00pm - 8:30pm: Q&A Networking.
💡**Speaker One:** Tom Scott, CEO, Streambased
**Title of Talk:** Infinite Kafka? Rethinking Retention with Iceberg
**Abstract:** Apache Kafka is designed for high-throughput, low-latency event streaming, not cost-efficient long-term storage. Yet we constantly see cases like event sourcing, audit/compliance, and large-scale reprocessing forcing that pattern onto it.
As retention increases, costs grow linearly to support edge cases, one-time runs, and “checkbox” use cases.
Can Iceberg help here?
In this talk, Tom explores a hybrid architecture that separates hot and cold data while preserving Kafka’s log semantics. Using a combination of Kafka and Apache Iceberg, he demonstrates how to extend Kafka into low-cost object storage, enabling effectively unlimited retention without sacrificing performance or access patterns.
The result is a unified log that supports both real-time processing and long-term replay, removing the traditional trade-off between cost and capability in Kafka-based systems.
**Bio:** Long-time enthusiast of Kafka and all things data integration, Tom has more than 15 years of experience in innovative and efficient ways to store, query, and move data. Tom is currently CEO at Streambased, a company focused on unifying operational and analytical data estates into a single, consistent, and efficient data layer.
💡**Speaker Two:** Abraham Imohiosen, Engineering Manager, Fraud Prevention Tools.
**Title of Talk:** From CDC to Decision: Kafka as the Fraud Detection Pipeline's Connective Tissue
**Abstract:** Fraud detection isn't one system — it's a system of moving parts (databases, feature stores, rule engines, ML models, case management tools) that all need to agree on what just happened, in milliseconds. Kafka sits in the middle of it, and treating it as "just the message bus" leaves a lot of value on the table. In this talk, I'll walk through three jobs Kafka does inside Moniepoint's fraud detection pipeline: moving events between services, powering real-time aggregations and windowed features, and acting as a CDC source that turns database changes into the canonical stream feeding a final aggregate store, as well as routing evaluated events into the case management system for final decisioning.
**Bio:** *Abraham Imohiosen is an Engineering Manager at Moniepoint, where he leads the Fraud Prevention team in building case management systems and machine-learning detection models that protect millions of customers and billions in transaction volume. He has over 10 years of experience across fintech and cloud-based architectures, having previously led the delivery of Monieworld Transfers and a savings product. Abraham holds an M.Sc. in Robotic Systems Engineering from RWTH Aachen University.*

In Person: CoffeeOps
We are back! This is going to be a monthly IN PERSON meet up in London.
A very big thank you goes to Accurx who is hosting us in their amazing Shoreditch offices. This will include access to facilities including coffee! 😻☕️
**Want to know more? 👇**
As with all CoffeeOps, this is an interactive, chatty, build your own adventure type of meet-up. Instead of booking in experts to *learn* *from*, we gather a group of practitioners to ***learn*** ***with***. We have been running for over 4 years now and often get feedback that this is the most useful meetup people join!
The event is approximately 90 minutes and always starts by brainstorming topics to discuss. The group then votes on the most relevant/interesting to them and we then cycle through the topics trying to discuss each deeply, but in a time bound slot.
To get an idea of topics, you can check out our remote board [here](https://easyretro.io/publicboard/h404NF84Uje4tCcxpJdHr4Ycs9B3/a4a35d2b-181b-409b-832e-a729be1af79c). The general gist is anything is fair game, though we tend to revolve around software delivery and definitely lean towards the more Ops-y or DevOps-y side of things.

At this moment we can meet with up to 30 people (of more than two households) to do outdoor exercise and walks. However, i like to keep our exercise groups small, so I have set the maximum participants at 12.
For now this walk is for our experienced Nordic Walkers only, who already used to Nordic Walk with us regularly before Covid 19 kept us indoors, and who have their own Nordic Walking poles.
As this session is outdoors, we will not ask you to wear a face mask, but we do ask you to keep 2 meters apart. Some of our walkers might be immune compromised or more at risk, so please help us keep everyone safe!
Please do not come to the session and stay at home if:
- you know you have been in contact - in the last 2 weeks- with someone with symptoms of possible Covid, or if you have been in contact with someone who tested positive.
- you have any of the following symptoms: (new) Loss of smell/taste, Persistent cough, Fatigue, Loss of appetite, Skin rash, Hives, Fever, Severe muscle pain, Shortness of breath, Diarrhoea, Delirium, Abdominal pain, Chest pain, Hoarse voice, Eye soreness, Sore or painful throat, Nausea or vomiting, Headache, Dizziness or light headedness
We meet by the cafe in the middle of the park.
Session Price: £10 per session, £89 for a 10-session card or £70 unlimited sessions per month. Session cards and pay Monthly can be used in any of our outdoor walks or indoor Zoom classes sessions (except for the Parkinson's sessions).
Pay What Works:
The price shown above is the “true” value of the session that best reflects the work I put into preparing and leading your session. However, I understand that not everyone can afford to pay full price, and I don’t want that to stop you from joining us.
In an effort to find a balance between more financial accessibility and sustainable pricing, I now offer a “Pay What Works” model. This allows for financial flexibility while still valuing and respecting the work and energy I provide in creating and delivering these classes.
Then send an email to ailien@fitandhappyoutdoors.com with the heading “INVOICE please”- followed by “FAHO 1” to pay full price as quoted below, “FAHO 2”, for 20% off, or “FAHO 3” for 50% off.
Pllease do tell me if you want to pay for 10 sessions, or if you’d like to pay monthly.
I prefer payment by bank transfer, but if that is not possible you could pay in cash. No cheques please, the queues by the banks are just too long.
We walk in all safe weather conditions – if a walk is cancelled, we will contact you to let you know. Please check for text messages or Meetup messages before leaving home!

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber

**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.

Columbus Code & Coffee 87 @ Improving
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!
Bondage Photography Demonstration
**The event has been canceled.**
*Note: this is a demonstration event only, you **will not** shoot you own images. However, if you bring your camera we can test it for compatibility with the studio lights.*
Bondage elements can add an extra layer of emotion and artistry to your images. Sample images on the internet are however dominated by BDSM style shots that are often sexualized and emphasize the model being in distress. In this demonstration Rachel and I show ways to use bondage elements in an artistic way. We explore the types of accessories that work best in artistic images and the best way to photograph them.
Our model is Rachel Adams, an internationally known fetish model with many years of experience in this genre.
