Solstice Sessions — Atlassian Insights & Midsummer Cheers
Midsummer Atlassian Nights: Governance, Users & Team '26 Fresh from Anaheim
June 25, 2026 · 5:00–9:00 PM · SentinelOne Office, Prague
Summer is almost here — and we're celebrating it the ACE Prague way: with sharp technical sessions, a live panel straight from Atlassian's biggest event of the year, and a midsummer beer garden to close out the evening.
Join us on June 25th for one of our most packed evenings yet. Two expert speakers. A panel discussion bringing Team '26 insights direct from Anaheim. And then — we head outside.
🎤 Session 1: When Atlassian User Management Stops Being an Admin Problem Björn Döhler · re:solution
Nobody wakes up excited about user management. And yet, again and again, it's the silent culprit behind some of the biggest headaches in modern organizations — exploding license costs, broken accountability, risky migrations, and decisions made without reliable data.
This session tells a story — or rather, several — about how these situations unfold in real life, what teams usually miss until it's too late, and how thinking differently about user management can change the outcome. No sales pitch. No "ten features in ten minutes." Just stories, lessons learned, and a glimpse of what becomes possible when user management stops being invisible.
🎤 Session 2: From Zero to Hero — Data Governance Can Be Easy Hubert Kut · AppForge.ai
Data governance sounds intimidating. It doesn't have to be.
Hubert will walk you through how to perform comprehensive health checks on your Jira instance, automate the cleaning process, and improve data quality — without it becoming a full-time job. You'll leave with actionable practices that make Jira management more straightforward, your system more performant, and your users a lot happier. Whether you're just starting out or looking to tighten up an already complex environment, this one's for you.
🗣️ Panel Discussion: Fresh from Team '26 — What Atlassian's Biggest Event Means for You
All three of us — Björn, Hubert, and your host Julia Skoursky — were in Anaheim in person for Team '26. Now we're bringing it back to Prague.
What actually happened? What announcements matter for admins, partners, and teams using Atlassian tools every day? What's coming, what surprised us, and what should you be preparing for? This panel is your shortcut to the highlights — unfiltered, first-hand, and with room for your questions.
🍺 Midsummer Beer Garden
When the sessions wrap, we're not done. We're heading outside to celebrate the longest days of the year the right way — cold drinks, good company, and the kind of conversations that only happen when the sun refuses to set.
This is your chance to keep the discussion going with speakers and fellow community members in a relaxed, informal setting. Midsummer only comes once a year. Make it count.
🤝 About ACE Prague

Book Club: Václav Havel, The Power of the Powerless
On Saturday, 27th of June, we’re going to meet and discuss the *The Power of the Powerless* by Václav Havel, an influential book that has become a key text of dissident thought in communist Eastern Europe.
Written in 1978, Havel’s book explores how authoritarian systems sustain themselves not only through force, but through conformity, fear, and everyday participation in lies. What does it mean to ‘live within the truth’? Can ordinary people resist oppressive systems, even when they seem powerless? And what forms of responsibility do individuals bear in political life?
Although written under late socialism in Czechoslovakia, Havel’s reflections remain strikingly relevant today. How do ideology, bureaucracy, media, and social pressure shape our behaviour? Are modern societies immune to the dynamics Havel describes – or do they simply take different forms?
Václav Havel (1936–2011) was a Czech playwright, dissident, political thinker, and statesman. A leading figure of the democratic opposition during communist rule, he later became the last President of Czechoslovakia and the first President of the Czech Republic.
***
Anyone is welcome to join! Before the meeting, please read the book (it’s around 100 pages long), think about it, and note any passages you find especially interesting, challenging, or worth discussing. We’ll share our thoughts and interpretations during the meeting.
Organizational notes:

Filozofická kavárna (Café Philo): přemýšlet a diskutovat
Filozofování o životě a o všem ostatním pro všechny, bez vstupného a bez přihlášky:
Co si přejete, s čím si lámete hlavu, co Vás nenechá spát, o čem dumáte, o čem sníte, co Vám vrtá hlavou, čeho se bojíte, na co vzpomínáte, o čem přemýšlíte? Nenechte tyto věci jen pro sebe, zkuste rozhovor s jinými lidmi. U nás nejde jen o to, si popovídat, o to taky, ale to máte i jinde. U našeho stolu se pokusíme, spolu *filozofovat*. Nejdříve se dohodneme, jaké téma budeme diskutovat, a pak se do toho pustíme, budeme přemýšlet, rozmýšlet, promýšlet a zamýšlet se, až se nám z toho bude točit hlava, přitom nám budou podporou filozofové všech věků, abychom jí neztratili, tu hlavu. Ani byste nevěřili, jak filozofie může být osvěžující…

TRIGGERED: Wasn’t Woke Dead…??
TOPIC: Wasn’t Woke Dead…??
I wise man once said: “nobody be complaining if they had casted Terry Crews as Hellen of Troy…”
Samuel L. Jackson would be a great option in my humble opinion…
TRIGGERED is a discussion group for the young and young at heart, with philosophy as its core but focussed towards recent events, culture, and political philosophy, with a pinch of actual politics.
We’ll discuss the selected topic as a group and probably move somewhere else for another drink to talk about anything else.
Some of the points we’ll touch on:
* Briefly: What is woke?
* Netflix, Modern Hollywood and the Modern Audience.
* Case Study: Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.
* Influence of wokeness outside entertainment.
So…
* Has wokeness actually reached its peak?
If so, when did it do so?
* Do you go broke if you go woke?
* We might have won the war, but why doesn’t it feel like victory?
* How to fix this landscape and move forward.
Image References: unfortunately we don’t know the genius that brought life to our cover photo for the event…
Let's Play Badminton!
Let's play badminton at Sports Centre Olšanka. We'll meet at 10.40 and play for 60 minutes.
If you have a Multisport card please bring it along, as it will make the court free for you and also reduce the cost for others. If you don't have a Multisport card the game will cost you a maximum of 150 crowns, probably much less. I will cover the cost of the court so please bring cash to pay me.
There is a small organisation fee of 20 crowns for all players to participate in this event. Racquets can be rented for 50 crowns.
Nerdy Fridays: Brains and Beers
Some people go to pubs.
Some people conquer galaxies, build empires, trade spices, or outsmart dragons.
Nerdy Fridays are our open board game nights for anyone who prefers strategy over small talk and dice over disco lights. Come solo or bring your crew. We’ll help you find a table, explain the rules, and match you with a game that fits your vibe.
From light party games to deep strategic battles, the shelves are open.
Entry fee: 50 CZK if you drink something, 100 CZK if not
(includes access to games and rule explanation)
Friday nights don’t have to be loud. They can be legendary. 🎲✨

Cherokee Double Wall Basket Weaving Workshop - Newark Earthworks - $140, 9a-1p
This workshop offers more than a class—it is a hands-on cultural experience rooted in patience, precision, and ancestral knowledge.
Learn the fundamentals of Cherokee double-wall basket construction, a technique known for its strength, balance, and visual depth. This style creates two walls woven simultaneously, resulting in a seamless, durable basket that holds both function and story. Each kit thoughtfully includes pre-soaked and hand-dyed reed, core weaving materials, and guidance through every step of the process. You’ll learn proper starts, shaping, tension control, and how the inner and outer walls work together as one structure.
Designed to be accessible for beginners and deeply satisfying for experienced weavers, this workshop emphasizes respect for materials, intentional making, and the rhythm of the hands. With proper supervision, older children and teens may participate, making this an excellent intergenerational learning experience.
***PLEASE NOTE: There are two sessions. A morning session from 9 a.m.—1 p.m. & 2—6 p.m. Click the registration link and select one class.**
* A**ddress:** Octagon Earthworks, 125 N. 33rd St., Newark, OH 43055 - UNESCO World Heritage Site

* A**dmission :** Ohio History Connection Members - $130, Nonmembers - $140
* Click here to register and pay https://www.ohiohistory.org/events/double-wall-basket-weaving-workshop-2/
At this workshop:
• Learn an authentic Cherokee double-wall weaving technique
• Encourages mindfulness, focus, and problem-solving
• A meaningful alternative to mass-produced crafts
• Each basket is completely one-of-a-kind
• Ideal for cultural education, art practice, and heirloom making
Whether you’re reconnecting with tradition, learning a new skill, or creating something meant to last, this workshop is an invitation to slow down, weave with intention, and carry knowledge forward—one row at a time.
This workshop is led by Renata Cauthon, a Cherokee artist and enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation, and one of the few IACB-listed Cherokee artists in Ohio.
Beginning her professional art career in 2023, Renata has participated in several exhibitions across the country, including juried art shows. Her work is featured in her tribe’s official gift shop as well as several museum shops, blending traditional Cherokee design with contemporary storytelling to explore identity, resilience, and cultural continuity.
The 2025 Reach Indigenous Advocacy Indigenous Advocate of the Year has worked tirelessly to provide access to Cherokee culture in Ohio through partnerships like her work with Fort Ancient Earthworks & Nature Preserve — part of the UNESCO-listed Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks.
Since 2024, Renata has led hands-on workshops at Fort Ancient, giving visitors the opportunity to experience Cherokee traditions as living, evolving practices. She is honored to share Cherokee cultural knowledge, inspire understanding of Ohio’s Indigenous history, and invite visitors to explore and engage with her art.
