I’m putting together a small hike trip weekend in Hoorneboegse heide in Hilversum, the idea is to come with a few people who want to step out of their routine, spend time in nature, and meet others in a relaxed way. This is not a tour or a structured retreat. The idea is simple step out of your comfort and everyday life to reconnect with nature and with each other. We will – explore the beautiful nature – share a few moments together – and keep things easy and natural There will be time together (walks and sunset). Group size will be small (around 2- 4 people), to keep it comfortable and personal. This Meetup is to connect people who are interested in real and human connection If this resonates, feel free to join and I’ll share more details 🙂

AI is inmiddels overal in softwareontwikkeling te vinden. Van code genereren tot documentatie schrijven, van workflows automatiseren tot agents die zelfstandig acties uitvoeren. Maar hoe houd je grip op tools die niet altijd hetzelfde antwoord geven? En wie is er uiteindelijk verantwoordelijk als AI daadwerkelijk iets gaat doen? Tijdens deze meetup duiken we in de praktische kant van AI in software engineering en test automation. Zoals altijd georganiseerd door deTesters, TestCoders en TechChamps, in ons kantoor in de Werkspoorkathedraal in Utrecht. Deze keer hebben we twee talks die mooi op elkaar aansluiten. Ghislain Gabriëlse laat zien hoe je AI skills kunt testen wanneer klassieke assertions niet meer genoeg zijn. Bert Jan Schrijver neemt ons mee in de bredere vraag wat AI agents betekenen voor software engineering, verantwoordelijkheid en controle. Twee talks, twee invalshoeken, maar allebei heel relevant voor iedereen die serieus bezig is met kwaliteit, test automation en de manier waarop AI ons vak verandert. **The Agent Who Tested Me: Behavioral Testing for AI Skills** Hoe test je tools die elke keer net een ander antwoord kunnen geven? Ghislain laat zien hoe zij AI skills testen met echte Copilot sessies, zonder alles weg te mocken. Want bij LLMs kun je niet simpelweg een assertEquals op de output zetten. Tenzij je van mega flaky tests houdt. In deze talk neemt hij je mee in een framework waarmee AI skills op verschillende niveaus worden gevalideerd. Van deterministische checks en een LLM Judge tot baseline vergelijkingen en variance analysis. Zo wordt niet alleen gekeken of een skill iets teruggeeft, maar ook of het antwoord klopt, waarde toevoegt en betrouwbaar genoeg is. Een praktische sessie over testen, CI en non determinisme voor iedereen die bezig is met AI, test automation of Copilot skills. **Ghislain Gabriëlse** Ghislain Gabriëlse is een ervaren Test Automation Engineer met ruim 11 jaar ervaring in testen en automatisering. Hij richt zich vooral op het ontwikkelen en inrichten van tools en frameworks die de developer experience verbeteren, zodat teams beter en efficiënter kunnen ontwikkelen en testen. **Software engineering in the age of AI agents: who’s in control?** Een AI verwijdert een production database en blijft vervolgens volhouden dat dit niet is gebeurd. Welkom in moderne software engineering. Generatieve AI wordt steeds vaker een echte samenwerkingspartner. Het schrijft code, past systemen aan en voert acties uit. Maar dat betekent niet automatisch dat het ook doet wat wij denken dat het doet. In deze presentatie neemt Bert Jan ons mee in wat er echt verandert. Niet alleen in hoe we code schrijven, maar vooral in hoe we controleren, begeleiden en verantwoordelijkheid nemen. De rol van engineers verschuift steeds meer van zelf bouwen naar richting geven, beoordelen en kritisch blijven kijken naar wat AI oplevert. Aan de hand van persoonlijke verhalen, inzichten uit de industrie, successen en mislukkingen laat Bert Jan zien hoe je verantwoord om kunt gaan met AI tools die zich razendsnel ontwikkelen. Want ook als je AI het werk laat doen, blijf jij verantwoordelijk voor de uitkomst. **Bert Jan Schrijver** Bert Jan Schrijver is CTO bij OpenValue en houdt zich bezig met Java, AI, software architectuur, Continuous Delivery en DevOps. Hij is Java Champion, JavaOne Rock Star speaker, winnaar van een Duke’s Choice Award en bestuurslid bij NLJUG, de Nederlandse Java User Group. Daarnaast deelt hij graag zijn kennis op conferenties, schrijft hij voor het Nederlandse Java Magazine en helpt hij bij Devoxx4Kids om kinderen te leren programmeren. **Doelgroep** Deze meetup is interessant voor testers, QA engineers, developers en iedereen die bezig is met kwaliteit in moderne software teams. Deze avond is **volledig in het Nederlands (Dutch spoken).** **Programma** 17:30 Ontvangst en eten 18:30 The Agent Who Tested Me: Behavioral Testing for AI Skills 19:30 Korte pauze 19:45 Software engineering in the age of AI agents: who’s in control? 20:45 Q&A en discussie 21:00 Afsluiting met een borrel

*Please note: this meetup will be held in English.* In this first meet up, you will be shown a set of immersive artistic and design research experiments. Project Thuis conducts two years of artistic and design research into immersive experiences that place the body at the centre. The central question is: "How can immersive experiences in (semi-)public spaces contribute to a sense of connection, belonging, and 'feeling at home'? To explore this, a multidisciplinary consortium consisting of [Fillip Studios,](https://www.fillipstudios.com/) [affect lab,](https://www.affectlab.org/) [Introdans,](https://introdans.nl/) [Utrecht University,](https://www.uu.nl/staff/SPonzanesi) and the [Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences,](https://civicinteractiondesign.com/) has embarked on a creative journey together. Within the context of Project Thuis, this meetup will focus on artistic and design research forms applicable across various disciplines. **Programme:** 16:00 - 16:15: Opening 16:15 - 17:15: Interactive session 17:15 - 17:30: The role of the maker in the future of immersive experiences 17:30 - 18:00: Networking and drinks (including presence of [CIIIC](https://us2.mailchimp.com/mctx/clicks?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ciiic.nl%2F&xid=f4ced03a90&uid=2313462&iid=e62065ab18&pool=cts&v=2&c=1780312609&h=0b99fb0b79b5fe3d2625a4891bea9d8bc6ef045db3b8ee6ffe56d6cfc6e501c4)) Within the context of Project Thuis, this meetup will focus on experiments that you, as a maker, can use to conduct artistic and design research across various disciplines. *[This event marks the first in a series for Project Thuis (Home). Ontwerp Platform Arnhem has been invited to organise the meetups. We strongly endorse the importance of initiatives like this, and are highly committed to connecting designers with these themes and consortia](https://www.ciiic.nl/)***[.](https://www.ciiic.nl/)**

For the first time ever, we, as Outdoors in Utrecht, will be undertaking a walkathon for a good cause Stichting Hartekind is a non-profit charity organization (and the only one in NL) that provides funding for scientific medical research for heart diseases affecting children (0-15 years) https://www.hartekind.nl/ We will be hiking the entirety of the north dunes reserve up until Den Helder to raise awareness about the organization & its actions, plus raise funding for the organization If you want to participate, that's awesome! You can join for the full hike or part of it Starting point is Castricum train station @ 8:00 in the morning You can also join of course for part of the hike. The route & its milestones are * Start point --> Castricum train station * Eggmond aan Zee (15km) * Bergen aan Zee (10 km) * Camperduin (10 km) * Petten (10 km) * Callantsoog (10 km) * Julianadorp (10 km) * End point --> Den Helder train station (10 km) Aim is to be at Den Helder by 23:00 - 23:15 so anyone can take the last train back home to Utrecht/Amsterdam/other Our pace will be 5-6 km/hour on average. You can pace yourselves with us but, in order to achieve the full route within a day, we can't slow down and do our normal amount of breaks I recommend you stick with us, and when it gets rough you can drop out completely at a milestone point or continue at your own pace from there. I'll provide a full visual map closer to the event day if you cannot join, but still want to support, you're more than welcome & appreciated to donate for the cause Here is where you can donate Please only donate an amount you feel comfortable with, and don't financially push yourself 🙏 https://supporta.com/pp3m/fvw1d12kg4?utm_source=copy_link&utm_medium=customer&utm_campaign=fundraiser_page_share Note that this event will not be postponed, unless there's major weather warnings, or train traffic issues. Even if it rains, this event is happening I hope you join me, even in spirit, in this cause of mine Constantinos

Short North Street Skates return Saturday, April 4 and we’re excited to get back rolling together. These weekly rollouts are a chance to move through the city as a group, build community, and create more visibility for skating and small-wheeled movement in Columbus. Details: Meet: 1160 N High St 9:30 AM meet 10:00 AM rollout All wheels welcome We’ll be skating through the Short North and surrounding areas at a steady, social pace. Routes will use a mix of streets and bike lanes, so comfort navigating the city is helpful, but you don’t need to be an expert. If you’ve been meaning to come out, this is a great place to start. Come solo or bring a friend!
