Beginners will be guided though the basics (C programming, how to use measurement tools, soldering, PCB design, etc…) and can get advice on what tools and kits to start with, others can come with their own projects to get help or share some knowledge.
## Requirements
* Bring your own laptop (Windows, Linux or Mac)
* Any microcontroller/dev kit to develop your project(s). If you are a beginner and don’t know what to buy, come and we’ll find the best starter kit for you !

Deep Conversation - Question Chosen in Session
How do we connect to people? What is so great about being different? Is love selfless? Should we be dreamers or realists? What values are we losing? When are we at our best? Does childhood ever end? Is morality a matter of convenience? What makes a person beautiful?
Such questions, and many more, await you Sunday at Sister's Cafe (second floor) . After introductions we will collect questions from the group participants, choose one by voting then discuss it for an hour. Then most of us stay for drinks and bizarre conversations :-).
Walking in the woods+picnic 🌈🥰
Hey Folks,
Sunday looks like it's going to be a beautiful day (you never know :)) for a light hike (8-10km). Let's make the most of the sunshine, enjoy the fresh air, and spend some time in nature!
You can bring your own food and drinks with you, and then we will enjoy it next to woodpeckers at La Cambre.
Very much looking forward to seeing you guys!
P.S. Be on time, we leave at 10:35
Cheers

The Language Café 🌍 (FR) ☕️🥐
Salut toi! 👋
Tu penses pouvoir survivre en français? 😂 Testons ça autour d’un ☕️ (ou de toute autre boisson 🍵 ou snack 🍪🍰🥐 qui t'inspire sur le moment).
📍 Où?
Le Pantin (Ixelles). N'oublies pas que ce bar sympa sert que des boissons 🍸🍺🍹, mais tu peux ramener tes propres snacks 🍟🍩🍿 pour grignoter pendant qu'on papote.
💡 L'idée
Prends ta commande (obligatoire!☝️), puis rejoins la table. Après une petite intro on plongera dans des sujets comme activités, voyages, musique… Et si on est suffisamment motivés, on pourra même jouer à quelques jeux! On parlera uniquement en français—oui, immersion totale! Il se peut que l'on se divise en petits groupes pour que tout le monde en profite au max. Chaque groupe aura son propre expert en français 🇫🇷🧐 bien sûr - pour nous remettre sur le bon chemin dès que l'on commence à galérer!😆
🎲 Jeux
Pas de jeux énormes qui risquent de finir en catastrophe avec du café renversé, STP! On privilégie des jeux rapides, légers et amusants (en général, des jeux de cartes comme UNO ou Exploding Kittens 💥🐱). J’apporterai quelques jeux moi-même, mais n'hésite surtout pas à amener tes propres favoris (versions françaises évidemment😎)
⏱ Horaires
On commence à 17:00, et tu es libre de nous rejoindre à tout moment et de rester aussi longtemps que tu le souhaites.
Tu arrives plus tard? Préviens-moi dans le chat pour qu’on te garde une place! 😊
🚦 Liste d’attente?
Si tu es encore sur la liste d’attente mais tu veux absolument venir, ou si tu as une question, n’hésite pas à me contacter directement.
📢 Il se peut que je partage des détails supplémentaires dans le chat du groupe ou en DM 💬—pense à vérifier tes messages 👀 au moins la veille de l’événement pour ne pas manquer d'infos essentielles🙄!
🐈⬛ Le Code des Amis :
👉 On se tutoie, c'est plus cool✌️
👉 Respect et bonnes vibes - sinon 💥🥊
👉 Les erreurs? On s'en fou! Et si on galère on switchera en anglais ou bien: 🎭💃🎶🎸🤹🏿♂️
👉 Un empêchement? Annule ou préviens-moi à temps pour laisser la place à quelqu’un d’autre🙏
👉 Sur la liste d’attente? Ne viens pas sans confirmation.
À très bientôt ! 😉

Engaging in men’s work is the new way to forge friendships while being open-minded to personal growth. Many men experience healthier relationships, personally and professionally, by engaging in this work.
Open Men’s Group is a container for men to share vulnerably without receiving judgment or feedback.
We believe that emotionally mature, powerful, compassionate, and purpose-driven men will help heal some of society’s deepest wounds. We support the powerful brilliance of men and we are willing to look at, and take full responsibility for, the pain we are also capable of creating – and suffering. We care deeply about men, our families, communities, and the planet.

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**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.
