With the rise of Generative AI, we’ve built solutions for information extraction and synthesis that uphold our rigorous standards for output. Join us as we dive deep into the practical challenges of integrating GenAI with strict editorial guidelines and hallucination detection techniques, and explore how we solved them. * [Jeniffer Díaz](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenifferdiazgonzalez/) \- Directora de aplicaciones de negocio y líder de producto digital\. En su día a día trabaja entre equipos técnicos y negocio tomando decisiones difíciles sobre qué construir, qué no construir y cómo hacerlo sin romper los sistemas por el camino. En esta charla compartirá aprendizajes reales sobre cómo evaluar si una iniciativa (como la IA) aporta valor de verdad o solo añade complejidad, desde una mirada muy práctica de producto, sistemas y operación. * En cuanto a la charla; La inteligencia artificial promete velocidad, eficiencia y ventajas competitivas. Pero… ¿realmente genera retorno de inversión? En esta charla compartiré tres claves prácticas para evaluar el ROI real de la IA en proyectos reales, desde el producto, el sistema y el negocio, no desde la tecnología. * Identificar el coste real de introducir IA en un producto, más allá de modelos y APIs: procesos, mantenimiento, adopción y deuda técnica. * Medir el impacto real en el sistema completo, no solo en una tarea o componente aislado. * Detectar cuándo una iniciativa de IA genera valor… y cuándo solo añade complejidad al sistema. **🏢 Dónde** Dow Jones: Avenida Diagonal 123\, 7th floor\, 08005\, Barcelona \| [https://maps.app.goo.gl/jyzF31v7Rt4r3Y5WA](https://maps.app.goo.gl/jyzF31v7Rt4r3Y5WA) *Si tenéis problemas para llegar o acceder, contactad a través de comentarios en el meetup.* Queremos agradecer a nuestro sponsor, [Dow Jones](https://www.dowjones.com/) 🙌, por facilitarnos el espacio, snacks y refrescos 🍲 🍕 🍴🥤🧃 ¡Nos vemos allí!

**Invitation** **We are the instruments.** A participatory, improvised, embodied practice that reconnects us to one another through rhythm, voice, and play. This is a guided yet fully improvised experience, using the facilitation tools and methods of [Musica do Circulo](https://www.musicadocirculo.com/en). No prior experience is required, only an openness to connect with other humans in your own fun, light and authentic way. Circle songs are an invitation into a fully immersive, fully improvised musical experience using vocals, body percussion and movement. It draws inspiration from musical embodied rhythm practices from around the world, including call-and-response singing, rhythmic clapping games and circle song traditions. Simply by standing in a circle and connecting with our bodies as our instruments, we are reminded that we can find joy and meaning right here in this present moment, and in the next.

# Tercer encuentro de nuestro colectivo ​Continuamos el recorrido con nuestro tercer encuentro del Colectivo Farina. En esta ocasión, desplazamos el foco de la optimización al concepto de **instrumentación**, explorando el artefacto como mediador entre la mano y la materia. Reflexionaremos sobre cómo la creación de herramientas específicas de bajo impacto condiciona el resultado de lo que cocinamos, transformando el gesto técnico en un lenguaje propio. En esta edición, el diseño del objeto será el que dicte el ritmo, la forma y la escala de la mesa. # ​¿Qué es ***Colectivo Farina?*** ​Un espacio para experimentar, degustar y cocinar colectivamente, creado por **[bifaz](https://www.instagram.com/bifazworks/).** ## ​\*\*¿Para qué?\*\* ​Colectivo Farina busca **reconectar con los ingredientes y retomar técnicas olvidadas** de la cocina, reduciendo artilugios y poniendo el foco en lo **manual**, lo **artesanal** e incluso lo **ancestral**. Todo desde una práctica **compartida y participativa,** donde cocinar vuelve a ser un acto colectivo, más que una ejecución individual. Desde bifaz, creemos que el comer del futuro no solo va tanto del qué cocinaremos sino del cómo y con quién, poniendo el foco en la cocina como **acto de comunidad y resistencia a la vida acelerada** que llevamos. ## ​\*\*¿De qué va?\*\* ​Este proyecto se compone de **encuentros culinarios** que parten de un concepto transversal (que irá variando en cada edición) con el objetivo de **reflexionar** sobre la **sostenibilidad, la cultura y el futuro** de nuestras prácticas culinarias. Todo esto se lleva a una actividad de **cocina colectiva**, donde el resultado final será, en su mayoría (pero no limitado a) pasta, usada aquí como formato versátil, accesible y profundamente comunitario. ## ​¿Por qué *Farina*? ​Del latín farīna, “harina” o “polvo fino de grano”, un ingrediente base de innumerables culturas desde el inicio de los tiempos. Económica, cotidiana y sustanciosa, la harina representa la sencillez en su máximo esplendor. Y de eso va este proyecto: de **volver a lo esencial**. De cocinar desde lo básico, sin artificios, donde **la pasta, será nuestro vehículo principal**, no por técnica, sino por lo que simboliza: unión, manualidad y un punto de partida común. ## ​Lo que NO es ​No es una cena clandestina. ​No es un taller de pasta. ​No es un restaurante. ​Aquí **tod@s somos cocineros** y nadie queda por fuera. No hay protagonismos ni jerarquías: el resultado es siempre el producto de todas nuestras manos y todas nuestras mentes. # ​A tener en cuenta: ​- Tu inscripción incluye acceso a la experiencia, la comida que cocinemos, pica-pica y una bebida de bienvenida. Habrá la opción de comprar bebidas durante todo el encuentro. Si deseas aportar algo, eres bienvenid@ a traer lo que te apetezca. \- El evento es gratuito con la opción de donar un aporte voluntario para cubrir costos del evento\. Sin embargo\, el espacio \(Akasha Hub\) como parte de open collective requiere de una **membresía de 5€** la cual pueden ir gestionando a través de este [link ](https://opencollective.com/akashahubbarcelona/contribute/membresia-comunitaria-2026-individual-98288)(también se puede el mismo día). \- El menú será apto para **vegetarianos y veganos**. En caso de haber alguna alergia comunicarla de antemano a **[guillermondelli@gmail.com.](http://guillermondelli@gmail.com./)** \- El encuentro será **kid y pet friendly**. # ​Organizado por Bifaz ​***Un atelier especulativo para el comer compartido*** Bifaz explora las interconexiones entre el **alimento, el oficio y la comunidad** a través de **experiencias, objetos, conocimiento abierto y diseño participativo.** Nuestro foco es construir maneras de vivir y hacer más conectadas y autosuficientes mediante prácticas cotidianas como **cocinar, compartir y crear,** retando nuestros conceptos de **conveniencia** con encuentros que priorizan la **convivialidad, la temporalidad y la circularidad** dentro de lo que significa ser **humanos**.

*** **Hello, fellow DevOps enthusiasts 🤓** On March 26, we'll meet again for a couple of insightful talks, hosted by **[Mews](https://developers.mews.com)**! 📍 **Location**: Cloudworks, Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, 613, 9th Floor. Check in at the ground floor entrance *** 📅 **Agenda** * **19:00 - 19:15** Welcome from the hosts * **19:15 - 20:00** DevOps in Space: Lessons from Low Earth Orbit * **20:00 - 20:45** FinOps from the Code: Controlling Cloud Costs with Terraform and Infracost * **20:45 - 22:30** Networking & Snacks *** 🎤 **Talks & Speakers** * **Title: DevOps in Space: Lessons from Low Earth Orbit** * **Speaker**: **David Jacovkis** * **Duration**: 30-45 mins * **About:** I started as a sysadmin when workloads ran on bare metal, and Devs were the enemies of Ops. The industry changed, and we changed with it, but at the end of the day, we're still the ones who receive an alert when things stop working. * **Abstract**: Remember when you knew all your servers by name and deployed changes with a single SSH command? Now imagine doing that when your link comes in 10-minute windows every few hours, and bandwidth is a precious commodity measured in kbps. Welcome to DevOps in Space. At Sateliot, our Infrastructure & Software Engineering team works at the intersection of aerospace, telecommunications and software. We build modern distributed systems and then send them to an environment where normal expectations -low latency, immediate feedback, up-to-date systems- simply don’t apply. In this talk I’ll give a high-level tour of the challenges that make space and telco different: intermittent and low-bandwidth connectivity, long feedback loops, constrained devices, and the cultural gaps between aerospace, telco and software teams. I'll also share some adaptations that allow us to apply some of the DevOps processes and tools that have become industry standards. *** * **Title: FinOps from the Code: Controlling Cloud Costs with Terraform and Infracost** * **Speaker**: Julia Lamenza * **Duration**: 30-45 mins * **About:** Julia is an SRE with 15 years of Linux experience. Obsessed with automation, uptime, and catching flights more than outages * **Abstract**: In many engineering teams, cloud costs are still a surprise that shows up at the end of the month. Infrastructure gets deployed with Terraform, services scale automatically — and only when the bill arrives does someone ask: why are we paying so much? That's where FinOps comes in. *** 🏢 **About our host** **Mews** has been on a mission to build technology that puts people back at the heart of hospitality. Meet their R&D team on [LinkedIn](https://linkedin.com/company/mewsrnd) or directly on [developers.mews.com](https://developers.mews.com). *** 🔑 **Important Access Note:** Doors open at **18:45**. Please make sure to check in at the **ground floor entrance** upon arrival.

Main Library, Meeting Room 2B Join us for a welcoming evening of reflection, gentle music, and meaningful conversation. We’ll begin with a short grounding moment, followed by a brief reading from spiritual or philosophical traditions, and an open reflection circle where participants can share (or simply listen). Libera Animae is an interfaith community focused on inner growth, creativity, and authentic connection. All backgrounds are welcome.

**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 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
