All Things Search! — Deep Dive into Search, Lucene & Atlas Search
Search is one of those things that *feels* simple — until you're the one building it.
Why does `$regex` fall apart at scale? How do you handle typos, relevance, and performance all at once? And what happens when users search by *meaning*, not just keywords?
Join the **Dublin MongoDB User Group** for an evening dedicated entirely to **Search** — from the foundations of Apache Lucene, to building production-grade search experiences with MongoDB Atlas Search, to the frontier of Semantic Search with vector embeddings. We'll also have a real-world use case walkthrough from someone who's been in the trenches solving search problems for customers.
And yes, you can walk away with an 🎖️ **Search Fundamentals Skill Badge** 🎖️ which you can share on your LinkedIn profile.
No laptop needed, just your phone!
***
**🛠️ What we're covering:**
**The "Why" — Search is Hard** A practical look at why developers struggle with search: fuzzy matching, relevance scoring, tokenisation, and why regex just doesn't cut it.
**The "Story" — A Real Use Case** Hear from a practitioner who's helped customers go from "this search is broken" to "this actually works." Less Lucene textbook, more honest problem-solving.
**The "How" — Atlas Search Deep Dive** We'll go under the hood on how Atlas Search (built on Apache Lucene) works, and show you how to wire it up in your own applications.
**The "Future" — Semantic Search** Beyond keywords — how vector embeddings and semantic search let your application understand what users *mean*, not just what they *type*.
***
**📅 Agenda (6:00 PM – 09:00 PM)**
* **6:00 – 7:00 PM \| Networking & Pizza 🍕**
* **7:00 – 7:30 PM \| Search 101: How Search Actually Works** From text indexing to Lucene — the fundamentals every developer should know.
* **7:30 – 8:00 PM \| Real\-World Search Use Cases** What does bad search look like? What does great search look like? Stories from the field.
* **8:00 – 8:30 PM \| From Generic Search to Atlas Search & Semantic Search** How MongoDB Atlas Search brings it all together — and where vector embeddings take you next.
* **8:30 – 09:00 PM \| Search Fundamentals Skill Badge 🎖️ \| Open Discussion & Networking**
***
See you there! 🎯

2. Start time: 7:20PM
This event has a different topic each time and includes a variety of interactive exercises. It's an engaging and creative way to express ourselves, and connect with how others think, feel and deal with life. We will aim to provide a supportive and safe environment and open up about our lives freely.
A lot of times we don't talk about what we are really going through because we are worried of what people might think of us. This causes us to bottle things up, feel disconnected with the people around us or feel ashamed of ourselves.
Anything you share in the session is confidential and shall not be disclosed outside of the room.
Please only RSVP if you intend to come and change your RSVP to 'No' if you are not going to be able to attend.
**PRICE**: 7 € to cover costs (Revolut/Cash/Paypal). Please pay the fee after the event.
**TIME**: We will start at 19:20 and finish at 21:00. Please be on time, to respect the event and other members in the group.

Hello Everyone!
Let's read something before coming to the event. It can be a few pages from a book, an article, a poem, an advertisement, a joke, a recipe, a quote, social media content - anything you find interesting. We meet and chat about it, as a starting point of conversation.
Please feel free to bring books :)

OpenClaw: Getting it alive
OpenClaw is having a moment. A personal AI agent that runs on your own machine, talks to you and actually gets things done.
**NOTE: Registration needs to be completed here: [giveago.co/register/openclaw-1](https://giveago.co/register/openclaw-1)**
It runs on your own machine - a Mac Mini, a Raspberry Pi, a VPS - and actually does things: runs commands, browses the web, manages files, talks to your apps. You reach it through WhatsApp, Telegram, or whatever chat app you already use. It works in the background, remembers context between sessions, and connects to whatever AI model you prefer.
No engineering background required. If you can install an app and follow a guide, you can do this.
We're running this as part of a three-event OpenClaw series this June, with this being the first. The following events build on the setup and focus on getting productive with the agent and applying it to real work use cases.
**NOTE: Registration needs to be completed here: [giveago.co/register/openclaw-1](https://giveago.co/register/openclaw-1)**
We'll be working through it together at Baseline, tables of people at different stages, helping each other along. Fresh install or halfway there, there's a spot for you.
The goal is simple: leave with OpenClaw alive. Connected to WhatsApp or Telegram. With a personality you've written. Doing at least one real thing.
What we'll work through together:
* Getting OpenClaw set up (locally or hosted)
* Connect to a messaging app: WhatsApp or Telegram
* Picking the best model for the job
* Writing a SOUL.md: giving your agent a personality that's actually yours
* Setting up a MEMORY.md layer
* Connecting one real skill before the day is out
**NOTE: Registration needs to be completed here: [giveago.co/register/openclaw-1](https://giveago.co/register/openclaw-1)**
Prep materials will be sent in advance. Come ready, or come from zero. Both are fine. Bring a laptop. That's it.
Run of show:
11:00 Doors open, coffee
11:30 Intro and setup overview
12:00 Build time
13:00 Lunch
13:45 Back to building

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
💡 About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required.
🛠️ What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
🍕 Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site.

Bondage Photography Demonstration
*Note: this is a demonstration event only, you **will not** shoot you own images. However, if you bring your camera we can test it for compatibility with the studio lights.*
Bondage elements can add an extra layer of emotion and artistry to your images. Sample images on the internet are however dominated by BDSM style shots that are often sexualized and emphasize the model being in distress. In this demonstration Rachel and I show ways to use bondage elements in an artistic way. We explore the types of accessories that work best in artistic images and the best way to photograph them.
Our model is Rachel Adams, an internationally known fetish model with many years of experience in this genre.
Columbus Arduino Raspberry Pi Enthusiasts (CARPE) (Check Location)
Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration!
This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired.
**New to electronics or curious about tinkering?**
You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building.
While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.

Columbus Comedy Improv Meetup at Gresso's!
Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games!
The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime!
Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!
Microsoft Build - Columbus Edition!
We are bringing Microsoft Build sessions to Columbus Ohio!
The Central Ohio Azure Meetup and Central Ohio .NET Developer's Group (CONDG) are coming together to bring some of the labs and breakouts from Microsoft Build to your backyard. In this free, 1 day event, you are going to Build stuff with us!
And yes, there will be free food. So please RSVP for a head count!
Columbus Code & Coffee 87 @ 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!
**What to Expect at the Intro Circle**
\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~
Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup:
* Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics
Round 1 - (7 secs max):
* Your name
* What you're working on
* What you can help others with
Round 2:
* Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too.
Round 3:
* Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool.
After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
