🐳 Join us for the next Melbourne Docker User Group on April 14th at Microsoft. Container technology is now used by 92% of technology workers. However, there is always more to learn. We have three great talks to share. First, **Kirtika Sharma** ([LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kirtikasharma05/)) will teach **Docker 101**. She is a Junior Technical Engineer at Orikan. This talk is perfect for students and beginners. Often, a program works on one computer but fails on another. Kirtika will explain how Docker fixes this problem. She will use simple words and show a live demo of Docker running software instantly. Second, **Sumith Azhi Valappil (**[LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sumith-cloudsecurityconsulting/)**)** will talk about security. He has 18 years of IT experience. Research shows that many younger workers feel confident but lack specific security skills. Sumith will show you how to scan your code to find problems early. He will also show how to catch active attacks inside your systems. Third, **Sree Ram Boyapati (**[LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sreeram-dev/)**)** will talk about self-fixing programs. He is a Senior Software Engineer at Suncorp. Sree will show how to use Docker to test large systems on your own computer. Docker is the best tool for building and testing software locally. Using Docker locally means you do not have to pay for expensive cloud servers. First-time speakers are always welcome. We want you to share your story. You do not need to be an expert. * Beginners: Share a simple project or something you just learned. * Pros: Show us complex systems or security tips. Submit your talk here 👉 [https://sessionize.com/melbourne-docker-user-group/](https://sessionize.com/melbourne-docker-user-group/) Join us at the Melbourne Docker User Group for a night of learning and sharing. Dive into the world of artificial intelligence programming and learn how to enhance your projects using Docker. Explore topics such as AI engineering and containers. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, this event is perfect for anyone interested in cloud native technologies and cutting-edge applications. Don't miss this opportunity to network with like-minded professionals and elevate your skills in the world of AI and containers.

📚 #InPursuit is a book club for entrepreneurs, creatives, and curious minds who know personal growth fuels business growth. **See a lot of RSPVPs and wonder how it works? We'll break up into groups of 6-8 to share our insights, then swap groups after 30-45min so you can maximise learning from everybody!** *Note: this even is not organised by or affiliated with The State Library of Victoria* **That's what #InPursuit is all about** It’s not a traditional book club, it’s a space for people who are actively designing a better life through the pursuit of business, creativity, and personal growth. This event is for anyone #InPursuit of better business, life and relationships. Instead of reading the same book, we each come prepared to share one powerful insight from something we’ve read in the past 3-months. Anything non-fiction that’s moved us forward. Whether it’s a mindset shift, a productivity system, a new philosophy, or just a truth that punched us in the gut. This is a place to unpack it together and hear what others are learning too. We’re not just here to *read*. We’re here to *integrate*. Because when we grow, our business and our lives grow too. **🔍 Why Join? You'll leave with:** * 5–10 fresh insights from books you may never have picked up * Deeper awareness of how others think, lead, and evolve * New connections with people walking a similar path toward purpose, results, and impact This isn’t a lecture. It’s a room full of people building themselves while they build the thing. **📖 How It Works** First time? No pressure to share, just come curious. We'll break up into groups of 6-8 and share our insights, then swap groups so you can maximise the learning! Returning? Bring one idea you’ve read about in the last 3-months and be ready to speak on: 1. What did you learn? 2. How did it shift your perspective about the world or yourself? 3. How has it changed the way you show up or behave? We keep it structured, but flexible. After sharing, we open up to Q&A, personal stories, challenges, and deep dives. Some of the best insights come from the conversations *after* the share. **🧠 Who This Is For** * Entrepreneurs or side-hustlers finding their footing * Business owners, and doers building toward better * Curious minds who love ideas but care more about action * People tired of shallow conversations and hungry for growth If you’re working on something—or becoming someone—this space is for you. It’s a practice ground for people who want to grow forward. We’re all #InPursuit of mastery, momentum, and the kind of success that starts from within. **Map on how to get there** We're in the Create Quarter on the ground level (back right of the Quad as you enter from Swanson St). We'll likely be on a long table together. https://www.slv.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/SLV-EnglishMap_Jan25.pdf

☕ Let’s grab coffee and talk about what really matters our dreams. Whether it’s something you’re working on, something you’ve been scared to start, or just a curious thought… this meetup is a safe space to share freely. No pressure. No judgment. Just meaningful conversations with kind people. 🧠 Why come? • Share your dream (or just listen!) • Connect with thoughtful people • Maybe get inspired to start something too Bring: Yourself, a smile, and a dream.

This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
