ArnhemJUG - March meetup
**ArnhemJUG**
We are excited to announce that we are welcomed by Avisi for the March meetup.
**Agenda**
* 17:00 CET walk-in
* 17:30 – 18:30 Food and drinks
* 18:30 – 19:30 talk: **Koog your own AI! Delicious recipes** by **Simon Vergauwen**
* 19:30 – 19:45 break
* 19:45 – 20:45 talk: **Domain-Driven Design** by **Dirk Groot**
* 20:45 – 21:30 drinks
**Koog your own AI! Delicious recipes**
Koog is an open-source Kotlin framework for building robust, and production-ready AI agents. Developed, and battle-tested in their own products by JetBrains!
In this session we’ll build an agent, and explore various techniques to tackle different kinds of problems, and complexity. How we can use model-context protocol (MCP) to give our agent access to external tools, and how to build custom tools to integrate with your own systems. How to define flexible graph workflows to design complex agent behaviors.
If you're not cooking your own AI Agents yet, you should! Join me and I’ll give you a taste of Koog.
**About** **Simon Vergauwen**
**Developer Advocate at JetBrains & OSS (arrow-kt) Maintainer**
**Software engineer from Antwerp, Belgium.**
Interested in everything functional, and Kotlin. Loves OSS, cooking, snowboarding and Fallou
**Domain-Driven Design**
What name should I give this entity? How should I deal with ambiguous terminology? Where should business rules be implemented? Is this validation part of the domain logic, or does it belong to the application layer? Which entities should be within the scope of this database transaction?
In this talk we explore how the **Domain-Driven Design (DDD)** methodology helps answer questions like these. We will cover the key DDD concepts, including **Ubiquitous Language**, **Bounded Context**, **Aggregates**, **Entities**, and **Value Objects**, and discuss how they fit within a software architecture.
The session is built around a practical example, so you will not only learn the theory behind DDD, but also see how these concepts can be applied in real-world software development.

Entrepreneurs Evening - Pub Edition
Hi all,
This will be our seventh meetup and we’re back at our local watering hole, Mick O’Connells.
We have the right side reserved just for us. When you walk in, turn right at the bar and head past the dart boards. It’s the side room.
Bring your stories, your energy and your ambition. This is a space to talk business, meet sharp people, or simply decompress with others who understand the game.
All we ask is that you are an entrepreneur, freelancer, or planning to become one within the next 3 months. If not, the countdown starts now 😉
We’ve introduced a new social format to keep things more interactive while protecting the good vibe.
Please do your best to arrive on time so we can kick things off together properly.
Follow the grey and brown gnome in the photo below to find us. He’s our mascot.
Any questions, just ask.

In een open en ontspannen sfeer ontdek je nieuwe perspectieven, luister je naar anderen en leer je bewuster omgaan met verlangen, tevredenheid en verandering. Wat doet het met ons, als alles inwisselbaar is? Het maakt ons vrijer en verrijkt ons met nieuwe ervaringen, maar maakt ook angstiger en eenzamer.
Ons werk bestaat steeds vaker uit korte projecten, romantische liefdes verbanden worden net zo makkelijk aangegaan als beëindigd en de wereld vereist dat we flexibel zijn.

🏔️ Summit Hike – Everest Edition (8,848 m)
🏔️ Everest Update for the Veluwe Power Hikers
We were preparing for a classic VPH high altitude expedition on top of the world. Unfortunately there is some disappointing news. Starting in 2026, Nepal is introducing strict new regulations for climbing Mount Everest. Climbers will now need to have previously summited a 7,000 meter peak in Nepal and must also submit mandatory health certificates.
Because we cannot realistically summit a 7,000 meter peak and then climb Everest on the same day during our hike, I am unfortunately obliged to change the program.
There is also another small complication. 1 April falls on a Wednesday, which makes organizing the expedition a bit difficult.
After a poll in the WhatsApp group, we decided to move the date to **28 March** and climb the highest point of the Veluwe, **Signaal Imbosch (110 m)**. Even if it’s not Everest, don’t underestimate this hike: we will cover **22 km with about 350 metres of elevation gain** at a brisk pace. At this altitude, however, oxygen bottles are no longer recommended.
Please update your RSVP if you can no longer attend due to the change. ⛰️🥾
**When and Where to Meet?**
10:10 sharp at Rheden Trainstation. ⏰ Please arrive on time, as we won’t be able to wait for latecomers. 🥾✨
https://maps.app.goo.gl/VaEtswyBps5awMoL7
**Where and When Shall We Rest?**
We’ll take 2 breaks:
* Lunch break in nature at Signaal Imbosch (110 m) with group photo on summit; 20 min
* Snack and drink at Basecamp (80 m) where you can buy drinks and snacks; 30 min
**Notifications:**
* Technical equipment: avalanche transceiver (beacon), avalanche probe, and avalanche shovel (if you have them)
* A compact lunch and water to share at the summit
* The hike will only be canceled in case of severe avalanche risk (code 5).
* If you plan to bring a companion, please ensure that they are also registered for the hike.
* To be the first to get updates on new hikes, join our WhatsApp group! Feel free to ask for the QR code during the hike to easily join.
* T-shirts are now available for €25, made from Fairwear-certified organic cotton with eco-friendly inks—sustainable, odor-resistant, and perfect for your hiking adventures (limited stock, available during the hike)! Let me know your size and I will bring one for you!

**Session description:**
**Jasper Oosterveld - With Great Power Comes Great Labeling: Sensitivity Labels in de Praktijk**
Veel organisaties hebben inmiddels sensitivity labels geïmplementeerd als basis voor data security in Microsoft 365. Maar zodra je voorbij de basis komt, ontstaan er nieuwe vragen.
Hoe ontwerp je een werkbaar labelmodel? Hoe voorkom je dat gebruikers verdwalen in te veel labels? Wat betekent labeling voor Teams, SharePoint, Data Lifecycle Management en Microsoft 365 Copilot? En waarom gedraagt het platform zich soms nét anders dan je verwacht?
Tijdens deze interactieve sessie deel ik mijn praktijkervaringen met sensitivity labels: keuzes die goed uitpakten, dingen die ik achteraf anders zou doen en de frustraties die je alleen tegenkomt wanneer je labels écht gaat gebruiken in productie.
Dit is nadrukkelijk geen theoretische sessie. Neem je eigen ervaringen, uitdagingen en meningen mee, zodat we samen praktijklessen kunnen uitwisselen en ontdekken hoe we sensitivity labels effectiever kunnen inzetten.
**Jeroen Bijdevier - Je omgeving op orde voor veilig en optimaal Copilot gebruik**
Copilot ziet het verschil tussen achterhaalde en recente informatie niet. Die zal je dus een beetje moeten helpen. Rechten zijn vaak niet (in detail) op orde. Manueel deze zaken vinden is lastig en tijdrovend. Natuurlijk wil je rapportages hebben van het gebruik. Ergo dataveiligheid op orde en inzicht in het gebruik met Purview.
buitenvaders op pad
Een wandeling voor vaders die het zichzelf gunnen om even te willen uitwaaien én de diepte in willen. We lopen samen door de natuur, ontmoeten elkaar en delen wat er echt speelt — als vader, als man, in je werk of gewoon in je hoofd.
Niets moet. Er is geen afleiding, alles draait om verbinden en inspireren. Onderweg doen we een aantal oefeningen, luisteren we naar elkaar en stellen we de vragen die er toe doen. Een ideaal moment om even tot jezelf te komen — die ontspanning neem je sowieso mee naar huis.
**Past dit bij jou?** Je hoeft geen antwoorden te hebben. Alleen de bereidheid om eerlijk te zijn — naar jezelf en naar de andere vaders om je heen.
**Wat kun je verwachten?**
* Een kleine groep van max. 8 vaders
* Een mooie route op de Veluwe
* Goede gesprekken en oefeningen onderweg
* Ruimte voor jouw verhaal
* Koffie/thee en een snack na afloop
Kortom: een wandeling waarmee je investeert in jezelf en je vaderschap.
duur: 10:00-12:00 uur / investering is wat jij het waard vindt
locatie: rondom Arnhem op de Veluwe
🏛️ Pastime #2 – The Romans in the Netherlands: Nijmegen (Noviomagus)
📍 Meeting point: **Nijmegen Lent Station** (⚠️ not Nijmegen Centraal!)
🗓 **Saturday, March 28th, 2026**
🕑 **14:00**
After starting our journey through Dutch history with **Prehistory**, it’s time to move forward to the **Roman era**.
And when we talk about Romans in the Netherlands, there is one unavoidable place to go: **Nijmegen**, the oldest city in the country, founded by the Romans as **Noviomagus**.
We’ll start from the other side of the river Waal and walk towards the historic city centre, combining **river landscapes, green parks and urban history**. Along the way we’ll explore how the Romans conquered large parts of what is now the Netherlands, built forts and military camps along the Rhine (the *limes*), and established their first real city here. This walk is about **stories, traces and layers of history**—and about seeing Nijmegen through Roman eyes.
🥾 **The walk is about 5 km** and will take us through nature, parks and the city while discovering the Roman past of Nijmegen and the Netherlands.
***
🍺 **Post-walk drinks at Cafe De Zon**
After the walk we’ll stop at **Cafe De Zon** to relax and have a drink together. It’s a perfect moment to chat, share impressions from the walk and wind down.
If you like beer, you’ll also have the chance to try **Oersoep**, a local craft brewery from Nijmegen known for its creative and experimental beers. Of course, other drinks are available as well.
***
A walk through **Roman history**, beautiful riverside views, and a relaxed drink afterwards — a perfect **Pastime afternoon**.

Humanist Program
The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event.
We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be.
Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk.
Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online

Free in-person event: Take Control of Your Mental Health
It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went?
Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence?
Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
