【IMPORTANT SUMMARY】 * The purpose of social games is to know some people, do some exercise and enjoy the games together with others. Winning and getting points is not the focus of this session. Please play with consideration to your opponents' level. * Please purchase your slot through this link [https://7538e9.myshopify.com/](https://7538e9.myshopify.com/) 【SIGN-UP SYSTEM】 * Please sign up and pay through this link. [https://7538e9.myshopify.com/products/social-game](https://7538e9.myshopify.com/products/social-game) * We don't use the signup system on Meetup.com anymore. (Neither the waiting list) * It says this event is full on this meetup page, because I didn't open any slots here for you to sign up. You have to check this [sign-up page](https://7538e9.myshopify.com/products/social-game) to see if there is still a slot available there. * The background of using an external sign-up and payment system is because Meetup.com introduced a service fee to increase 21% of the fee in May 2023, and we want to reduce this cost. 【FEE and REFUND POLICY】 * Fee includes courts and plastic shuttles. Please sign up and pay before you come. NO refund if you do not cancel until 48 hours before the event. * Racket: bring one or rent one at the counter. * You can put a comment to sell your slot after the deadline of refund, or sell your slot in our whatsapp group. * No matter the reason is sickness, accident or anything, the group or I will not afford the cost caused by your absence. * Of course you CAN'T ask me, "Can I sign up for free for next week because I didn't come to use my slot this week?". Please remember, the court booked for you was there and it costs money. The court doesn't simply become "free of charge", just because you didn't come to use it. 【COMMUNICATION】 * Communication: our whatsapp group [https://chat.whatsapp.com/JJQbJlisbcj5YDnlcSu347](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JJQbJlisbcj5YDnlcSu347) * There are too many spams, so I only accept +358 number to join whatsapp group. Numbers from other countries will all be rejected. 【OTHERS】 * Please always keep 1 meter away from those courts where people are playing. Never step into the corners of other courts! If I see you do this, I probably will yell at you! * If you have some questions, you can put your questions in the comments on the event page. People will respond. * We play double games to 21 points. After each game, please let those who are waiting to play. Feel free to play with whoever you want, but please avoid playing with the same people all the time. * If you are new to badminton, please Google basic badminton rules in advance. Serve rules, double rules and point counting rules. You are always welcome to ask anyone in our group. Most of our members are more than happy to help you. * Badminton activity is organized for non-profit purpose, but I take a small fee for my work. * Want to restring your racket? I can do restring for you. €24 including the string. Please get contact with Ken.

The last part of the session is a Q&A / discussion with the room. **IceQAi: Leveraging AI to reduce your manual workload** **Speaker:** Kimmo Frisk Complex games bring with them a mountain of bug tickets and documentation, which can quickly overwhelm a small QA team. To help deal with the growing workload, Kimmo started building an AI helper called “IceQAi.” Join him as he breaks down his key findings, what worked, what failed, and the true potential of AI in the QA process. **We are excited to welcome you to the meetup!** Best Regards, The Organizing Team

We thought it would be nice to start the summer right, in good company, in a relaxed setting. So, for the first time, the HDW Low-Key Data Meetup takes place at the [Olarin Panimo Taproom](https://olarinpanimo.fi/taproom/) at Konepaja, Vallila. We'll be outside, weather permitting, so it's also the perfect start for the 'terrace season'. And if it happens to rain, we'll just be inside instead. If you're coming from the city center, Tram number 9 is probably the easiest to take. A couple of words about Helsinki Data Week at the beginning. After that, it’s again just hanging out with like-minded folks and your beverage of choice! Free for participants! Join us in Olarin Panimo Taproom at 17:00 on Thursday, June 4! ps. Following a spring cleaning of his bookshelf, Antti will have \~20 (mostly data) books to give away. First come, first served!
