The first Epic meet-up is officially happening. On Friday, June 26th, we’re opening our doors and inviting you to our offices at 4 Syntagmatarchou Davaki Street, Athens 115 26, 1st floor, from 19:00 to 21:00. Our speakers for the evening will be: **Ioannou Zacharias** – “From Chatbots to Autonomous Agents: The Evolution of AI” **Kappas Panagiotis** – “Code Reading in Practice: From an enterprise rebranding to a horizontal solution” The talks will be followed by a Q&A session with the speakers, as well as food, drinks, and plenty of conversation and networking. We look forward to welcoming you. RSVP is required.

We are pleased to bring you two talks this time. This event will be held in the offices of our sponsor [Plum](https://withplum.com/gr-gr), Stadiou 3a, Athina 105 62. **1st talk:** "Working with Kubeflow: A cloud-native machine learning platform for Kubernetes" by [Manos Vlassis](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mvlassis/) **Abstract:** Kubeflow is the foundation of tools for AI platforms on Kubernetes. The platform itself is composable, modular, portable, and scalable, backed by an ecosystem of Kubernetes-native projects for each stage of the AI lifecycle. This talk explores the architecture of Kubeflow, the advantages it offers to engineers and scientists, and a use case of how it can be used to speed up processes. **Presenter:** Manos is a Software Engineer at Canonical, working at the Machine Learning Operators (MLOps) team. He is working on a distribution of Kubeflow to facilitate machine learning workflows on Kubernetes-based systems. **2nd talk:** "ingress-nginx is archived: How we migrated to kgateway (and Didn’t Break Prod)" by [Konstantinos Stavropoulos](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kostavro/) **Abstract:** With ingress-nginx being archived in March 2026, Plum's SRE team used it as an opportunity to migrate to kgateway - a CNCF-backed Gateway API implementation chosen after benchmarking several alternatives. The 12-week migration relied on running both controllers in parallel, building custom Loki-based observability before cutover, and using staging to catch breaking differences like stricter path matching and a shorter default timeout. The result was zero production incidents and zero customer-facing downtime across all migrated services. **Presenter:** Konstantinos Stavropoulos is the SRE Lead at Plum, where he leads the team responsible for the reliability and evolution of the company's infrastructure. With a background spanning fintech, cybersecurity, and logistics across Greece and the Netherlands, he specialises in Kubernetes, CI/CD, cloud-native infrastructure, and security - with a proven track record of leading complex migrations from legacy stacks to modern, cloud-native architectures. Beyond hands-on engineering, Konstantinos is a community builder who delivers internal workshops and mentors teams through technical and leadership growth.

Do **NOT** sign up to this one and sign-up at https://www.meetup.com/columbusjs/events/313386504/ ======================================= A hand tracker gives you joints, not a gesture. This talk shows how you get from raw joints to a "thumbs-up" in Unity: the pipeline that cleans up the data, how a gesture becomes a few 0-to-1 values within tolerance, and why orientation matters as much as finger shape. Includes a live demo of tuning gesture thresholds. Food and drinks will be available. **LOCATION:** 6515 Longshore Loop, Suite 300, Dublin, OH 43017 **FREE PARKING:** 6725 Longshore Street, Dublin, OH 43017

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. **YouTube Link** TBD

June meetup at the Library. We’ll play games and have casual conversation in Japanese and in English. All levels of Japanese ability, from non-speaker to native, are welcome. After the meetup we will go out to eat at a local restaurant.

Dodgeball is back again! If you’ve been wanting to come out, this is an easy one to join. We’ll be playing for about 1.5 to 2 hours, you do not need to bring any equipment, and no experience is needed. We use a specific set of rules and equipment to make the games run better and keep them fun for everybody, not just people who already know how to play. If it rains, the event will be canceled.
