A special event to uplift, inspire, and provoke new ideas. **THE BACKSTORY:** At a recent [THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS IN PUBS](https://www.meetup.com/thought-experiments-in-pubs) event, someone on my table said: ***“This is the best book I’ve ever read”*.** The rest of us leaned in a little further and paid closer attention. The person told us about a book they'd read, years ago, and how it had changed their life. This moment stuck in my mind and I found myself pondering the idea of other people as curators, or filters of information. In a time where we have access to unprecedented amounts of information, filtering is valuable. It felt like a privilege to hear about someone's *favourite* book. It was also very uplifting to hear someone talk so positively about something they love. **So, I envisioned** **a meetup where people would have the opportunity to share something they love and to hear what other people love right off the bat.** **What kinds of things do you mean?** **Anything!** * A song that moves you * The time of day when you feel most alive * An idea you came across recently * A memory * A character (etc. etc.). **HOW WE'LL DO IT, logistically:** * Split into small groups, 3-4 people * 20 minutes to share about your respective 'artefacts'. I will play a sound every 5 minutes so that you have a sense of the time and can make sure everyone has space to talk. * Shuffle groups * Another 20 minutes in a new group to share about your original 'artefact' or something new * Shuffle groups * A final 20 minutes for either another round of shares, or free flowing conversation This is a pilot event, so the format is still subject to evolution, but **if you feel like being presented with a unique bouquet of other people’s favourite things, please join us.** **NOTES ON THE GENERAL ATMOSPHERE**: * Relaxed, laid back, friendly. * No pressure to share. * Everyone loves a good listener. Be generous and respectful with your listening. * Feel free to suggest tweaks to the format, there's always room for improvement. **WHERE WE'LL MEET**: This group will be at The Betjeman Arms. The nearest Tube station is King's Cross St. Pancras. You can access the pub either from the street (entrance to the right of The St Pancras Hotel entrance) or via St Pancras Station (entrance from the upstairs train platforms). We'll be in the private dining room - ask at the bar if you can't find us. **WHO SHOULD COME**: Everyone! The more perspectives, the richer the conversation. This group is not about presenting a perfect share, its about offering something you love to the group and listening to other people's 'loves'. In doing so, we hope to inspire, uplift, and get to know one another. I'm so looking forward to meeting & talking with you in this beautiful pub :-) You can read more about my rationale for meetups like this here: [SUBSTACK](https://experimentsingroupwisdom.substack.com/) And if you would like to further support them, you can do so here: ['buy me a coffee'](https://buymeacoffee.com/bonnyastor) Thank you!

# ​Beginners Hands-On Workshop: Demystifying OpenClaw, the New Personal AI Everyone's Talking About: The Good, The Bad & The Sloppy **Registration to this event is only valid through the Luma platform: [https://luma.com/wy7xdrca?utm_source=meetup-dot-com](https://luma.com/wy7xdrca?utm_source=meetup-dot-com)** Hello everyone! Due to popular demand we are going to run a full OpenClaw (previously known as Clawdbot/Moltbot) event! Join us on **Thursday, 26 Feb**. This would be our 5th event in our series of **local-first, open-source** **AIs** therefore we will try our best to avoid connecting OpenClaw to any cloud-based AI model and keep everything private. We will focus on the good (useful ways of automating things with it), the bad (the rough edges of OpenClaw, security wise) and the sloppy (the danger of creating too much low-quality content especially since the Internet is full of that type of content). This workshop is open to all levels, from beginners to experts. Bring your laptop (make sure it's fully charged if possible as local LLMs tend to be power-hungry), and, don't forget to bring your coding gear (hoodie). We will try to run A.I. models on the mobile phone as well so feel free to bring your phone fully charged with a little bit of free storage space. This workshop will be accompanied by Sam W. & Joon-sang L. (the founders of Pentaform). Since the recommended way to run OpenClaw is on its own dedicated hardware and since there are people at Encode specialised in building mini-PCs, what better way to close the night than to hear about various hardware options and to see what Pentaform is building. See you there! *** ## Prerequisite First and foremost\*\*, VERY IMPORTANT\*\*, a VM (Virtual Machine) system like Docker/UTM for MacOs or WSL for Windows. Lastly, a local install of Ollama / LMStudio (but if you don't have any of that, don't worry, come a bit early and we will help set you up). Ideally you should check the slides from the previous event to set up Ollama locally: [https://andysign.github.io/ai-london-01/](https://andysign.github.io/ai-london-01/) Not related but still interesting, the second slide deck about flows with LangFlow (you should know how to access it if you've been to the last workshop, if not join the Discord and ask us): [https://andysign.github.io/ai-london-02/](https://andysign.github.io/ai-london-02/) There is a third deck, also not related (about personal RAGs w/ AnythingLLM): [https://andysign.github.io/ai-london-03/](https://andysign.github.io/ai-london-03/) And a forth deck, this one is slightly related (about AI-powered browsers): [https://andysign.github.io/ai-london-04/](https://andysign.github.io/ai-london-04/) *** ## Agenda for the evening (Subject to change) **18:00 - 18:30 Arrival and networking** Mingle with fellow developers over refreshments. **18:30 - 18:45 Introductions (What is Local-First?)** Learn about self-hosted, local AI models and why we use them. **18:45 - 19:40 Workshop** ​Hands-on technical workshop (if you are non-technical it's OK, tag along). **19:40 - 20:15 Pentaform and Local AI** **20:15 - 21:00 Networking** **21:00 - Closing remarks and follow-up** **END:** Carry on the fun at a nearby pub which is right around the corner. *** ## Event Venue We'd like to extend a heartfelt thank you to **Encode Club**. [Encode Club ](http://encode.club)has spent over five years fostering a global community of developers, researchers, and founders in Web3, AI, and emerging technologies. The [Encode Hub](http://hub.encode.club) brings everything together under one roof, providing a dedicated environment for collaboration and innovation through meetups, co-working, and in-person events. *** ##

Happy 2026! Our first meetup of the year will be back at Zühlke's offices near Old Street, with Guillaume Faas talking about better ways to handle exceptions, Jenny Martin talking about taming complexity with OOPSI, plus the usual drinks, snacks, and plenty of time to chat. Doors 18:30, the first talk starts at 19:00 and we'll be done and heading to the pub at 21:00 to continue the conversation. **Guillaume Faas: Throw exceptions... out of your codebase** Throwing exceptions is often used to handle errors, validations, and other specific use cases. It is considered by many to be the standard way of indicating a failure and providing feedback to the caller. However, this approach can cause significant issues like being hard to detect, obfuscating the flow or leaving the system invalid. In this talk, I want to show you a faster alternative that offers more transparency and predictability. We will see how to integrate ideas from the Functional paradigm, such as "Monads", into an Object-Oriented codebase using a real-life project: Vonage's open-source .NET SDK. This talk will be the perfect opportunity to show you what they are and how easy they are to use. **Guillaume Faas** is a Senior .Net Developer Advocate at Vonage, based in Thionville, France. In recent years, Guillaume has focused on sharing my experience through mentoring, public speaking, and open-source contributions; all aimed at helping teams grow and build sustainable software. With nearly 15 years of experience in .NET development, he's worked across industries as an engineer, coach, and now developer advocate. His current focus is on developer experience: building SDKs, writing approachable technical content, and speaking at conferences around the world. **Jenny Martin: OOPSI: Making Sense of Complexity** OOPSI stands for outcomes, outputs, process, scenarios, inputs. It’s a flexible, easy-to-use collaboration framework that helps agile and product development teams cut through complexity and focus on value. OOPSI is timely because it maximises the intrinsically human aspects of effective delivery, helping teams understand how and when to collaborate, while producing lean, example-driven artefacts that clarify scope and intent so both people and automation can work more effectively. In this talk, you’ll learn how to apply OOPSI to strengthen shared understanding, clarify assumptions, and support testable delivery, using a detailed, end-to-end example. **Jenny Martin** is a practitioner, facilitator, and product discovery specialist with over 25 years’ experience working at the intersection of technology, delivery, and human behaviour. She has spent more than 15 years working with Agile and modern product development teams, helping them make sense of complexity and build shared understanding. Known as The Collaboration Coach, Jenny focuses on practical collaboration that supports effective delivery. She is currently writing a book on OOPSI.

BuckeyeCocoa is a group of Objective-C/Swift developers/enthusiasts. We host monthly Cocoaheads and near-weekly NSCoder meetings in Columbus, Ohio. The meetings are free to attend. Presentations! Presenters welcome! We are always in need of people willing to present material. Any Swift and/or Objective-C related topic is welcome. Times can be 5 minutes (i.e. lightning talks) to a maximum of 2 hours. Interested? Contact info is on the BuckeyeCocoa website. To volunteer for a presentation contact us at @BuckeyeCocoa on Twitter.

In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA

Meeting @ Improving's office in Downtown Columbus, near Cosi. Parking is paid, food & drink are free! This time we're hanging out after the long winter break. We are going to look at a group-member's project used to help learn the fundamentals of Go, and if time allows, we can take a look at how we like to build Go projects using AI.

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!
