March Meetup – Content Intelligence, App Mod & Power Platform Integration
**Danidu Weerasinghe - What's new in Azure and GitHub**
A fast, practical tour of the newest innovations across Azure and GitHub. We’ll break down the latest cloud capabilities, AI‑powered developer tools, security enhancements, and DevOps integrations that are transforming how teams build and ship software.
**Randi Ratnayake - Turning Raw Content into Intelligence with Azure Content Understanding**
Azure Content Understanding brings together multiple Azure AI services to analyze, extract, classify, and structure information from unstructured content such as text, images, audio, video, and documents. It abstracts much of the complexity involved in building AI-powered content solutions, while still giving teams the flexibility to shape models, workflows, and integrations to fit their needs.
This talk shows how Content Understanding helps turn raw content into meaningful insights and enables scalable automation and decision-making across enterprise data.
**Hajra Akhtar - VNet Integration with Power Platform**
How to achieve integration and communication between Dynamics CRM and Azure, including advantages of having VNet integration and steps to achieve it.
**Kaushaya Ganguly - Supercharge App Migrations to Azure using GitHub Copilot App Mod**
Learn how GitHub Copilot App Mod can dramatically speed up and simplify your application migration journey to Microsoft Azure. This session walks through real‑world modernization workflows, code insights, dependency analysis, and AI‑assisted refactoring that help teams move from legacy architectures to cloud‑ready solutions with confidence. Perfect for developers, architects, and anyone looking to modernize apps without the usual friction, completing Apps migrations in days as opposed to months.

Michelle (Miche) Letho is the Melbourne Atlassian Community Event (ACE) Champion and an Account Executive at Willyama Togetha, Australia’s only Indigenous-owned Atlassian Platinum Partner. She helps organisations imagine, build, and scale better ways of working through Atlassian solutions that boost collaboration, visibility, and impact.

Abbas Heidari, Engineer
With an IT career spanning over 30 years, I have always been passionate about bridging the gap between technical architecture and human collaboration. My journey began in 1995 in software engineering, and after completing my Master of Information Systems at the University of Melbourne, I transitioned my focus to the Atlassian ecosystem in 2015.
Currently, I serve as the Atlassian SME at Woolworths Group. Working within a high-impact team, I focus on delivering enterprise-grade solution consulting and sustainable governance to support thousands of users across a complex, large-scale environment.
I am particularly dedicated to:
■ Enterprise Solution Consulting
Architecting the Atlassian product lifecycle to meet the intricate, scalable needs of the Woolworths Group.
■ Community Leadership
Since last year, I have led the Atlassian CUG (Company User Group) within Woolworths, fostering a culture of knowledge-sharing and cross-functional best practices.
■ Product Influence
Active participation in Atlassian’s Early Access Programmes (EAPs), providing direct feedback to help shape the future of the tools we use every day.
■ Governance & Enablement
Establishing frameworks that balance operational efficiency with internal security while empowering teams through specialised training.
I believe the strength of the Atlassian suite lies in the community behind it. I’m always keen to exchange ideas on governance, scalability, and how to build a thriving internal user community.
Andy Fleming, Lead DevOps Engineer
G’day everyone, I’m Andy from Melbourne (Australia) and I've been a Community Champion since late 2025.
I’ve been an Atlassian geek since around 2008 when I started using Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, Bamboo, Fisheye and Crucible for my startup, and have been in a number of Atlassian Admin and advocacy roles across multiple industries since then.
Primarily a Developer and DevOps guy in office hours, I love tinkering with a new tool or process and working out how it can help teams do what they’re doing better, with more clarity and transparency.
Fair chunk of experience around JSM (and the alternatives) and a passion for DX and DevSecOps type processes. Bringing some order to chaos, helping people with work and processes and generally helping people get stuff done.
My undergrad was focused on AI 30 years too early, but now spending a lot of time there as it all comes full circle, so Rovo is of particular interest.
Looking forward to meeting hopefully lots of you 🍻

✨SPECIAL EVENT✨What does leadership & innovation look like in this moment?
**✨ SPECIAL EVENT✨ What does design leadership and innovation look like in this moment? - with Adam StJohn Lawrence**
*\*\* Highly acclaimed international guest speaker and global thought leader\*\**
Organisations today are under increasing pressure. Expectations are shifting, complexity is rising, and AI is rapidly becoming part of everyday work. At the same time, the more technology advances, the more distinctly human capabilities like judgment, facilitation, collaboration, and meaning-making are coming into focus.
What does design leadership and innovation look like in this moment at the interface of human, technology (AI) and business? How can designers not only protect their craft but continue to influence decision-makers to stay the course and make human-centred decisions?
Join Adam StJohn Lawrence for an interactive evening with the MelbourneDT community, exploring how we work at the intersection of humans, technology, and business in a time of ongoing transformation.
**This is not a traditional talk**. Expect an active, engaging session in Adam’s distinctive style, combining participation, reflection, and open discussion. The focus is on making design matter in real organisational contexts.
**Together, explore:**
✨ How to position design, innovation, and facilitation in ways that resonate in today’s business environment
✨ The language we use to communicate value and influence decisions
✨ The evolving role of facilitation as systems become more complex
✨ What changes when we begin working not only with humans but alongside AI
**About Adam StJohn Lawrence**
✨ Adam StJohn Lawrence is the co-author of the best-selling book "This is Service Design Doing" and co-initiator of the Global Service Jam. Named the Godfather of facilitation, Adam is one of the founding voices of Service Design and Design Thinking globally. *He's kind of a big deal.*
Adam is no ordinary facilitator. His background spans psychology, the automotive industry, and professional theatre and comedy. Improvisation and rehearsal-room practice are central influences in his work, not as performance but as disciplined ways of working with uncertainty, emotion, status and collaboration.
Much of Adam’s work takes place under real pressure, with ambiguity, competing agendas and difficult conversations present in the room, and he brings this wealth of real-world experience to his workshop sessions. He shows you how to work with status and egos, conflict, uncertainty and shifting power dynamics in real-life situations with real people, that you can transfer and apply in your next meeting.
What Adam teaches you is that "strategy" is not a separate conversation, held behind closed doors or in PowerPoint slides. Rather, it's expressed through behaviour, through how people listen, challenge, decide and create together. He shows you how to "see it" in action and influence the strategic process not matter what level you're at.
**Who is this for?**
Everyone.
Tickets limited. Book fast. Pizza & drinks included!
Dianetics "The MODERN Science of Mental health!"
You are invited to an introduction to **Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health**—a practical system that explains how the mind works and how it influences worry, emotions, behaviour, relationships, overall well-being and your personality.
* **Understand the mind. Improve life.**
* **Discover what’s been holding you back.**
* **Clarity begins with understanding.**
* **When the mind is understood, life improves.**
* **A practical approach to mental well-being.**
Based on decades of observation and application, Dianetics provides tools to identify the sources of unwanted feelings, stress, fears, and limitations—and offers practical methods to address them.
This presentation is suitable for anyone interested in:
* Gaining a better understanding of the mind
* Improving clarity, confidence, and emotional resilience
* Enhancing performance in everyday life
* Exploring practical tools for personal growth
Whether you are new to Dianetics or simply curious, this session offers clear explanations, real-world examples, and an opportunity to learn how greater understanding of the mind can lead to positive change.
**Attend and discover how understanding the mind can help improve life.**

CBusData: The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again.
We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all.
Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.
Columbus Code & Coffee 85 @ 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!
