​You already know what OpenClaw is. You've probably starred the repo. Maybe you've spun it up once and hit a wall somewhere around channel config or API keys or "wait, which model am I actually running?" ​That's what this night is for. ## **Register on this link to confirm your RSVP:** [https://giveago.co/register/openclaw](https://giveago.co/register/openclaw) ​This event is brought to you in collaboration with **Give(a)Go** and **AI Collective** — and the team from Jentic who have been running OpenClaw agents in production and building skills on top of it. They'll be in the room to help you through it. Bring your laptop, bring your questions, and by the end of the night you'll have an agent actually running. Talking to you on WhatsApp or Telegram. Doing things. ​**What usually trips people up (and what we'll cover):** * ​Hosting: VPS vs home server, what's actually worth the hassle * ​Channel setup: linking WhatsApp without losing your mind * ​Skills and tools: connecting real APIs so it can actually do stuff * ​Personality and memory: [SOUL.md](https://soul.md/), [MEMORY.md](https://memory.md/), making it yours * ​Model selection: not burning money on every message ​Prep materials go out beforehand. Come ready, or come from zero — both are fine. ​Bring a laptop. That's it. ## **Register on this link to confirm your RSVP:** [https://giveago.co/register/openclaw](https://giveago.co/register/openclaw) **​About Jentic** [Jentic ](https://www.jentic.com/)is the missing layer between your APIs and AI agents.

**An event for Career Builders** Career Lab is back! This event is for anyone looking to get the most out of their working life. If you are looking for work or side hustles, or want to explore new ideas to build up your income and skills, don't miss this event. As well as introducing my new book 'Learn Earn Own', I hope to have a couple of special guests to speak to you. And I will launch a new project. called The Assets Builders, where we make assets together. These interactive sessions I will unveil will use my framework, the Assets Ladder. I want to give everyone a chance to introduce themselves to everyone else. By handing over the mic! Depending on the number of guests, you have approximately 30 seconds to introduce yourself! Then anyone interested can come and talk to you. So be ready with your 'pitch'. This is the suggested format: I AM - Current skills keywords, experience ... I HAVE - Job, time to spare, ideas to share ... I NEED - No. 1 thing you are looking for right now ... Note, if you go over your 30-second time slot, you have to buy everyone there a drink and other disincentives to be announced that evening ;-) So there will be lots of career networking to help you make new connections and friendships. Come along and collaborate with like-minded people who want to help each other succeed. At our events, Conor is available for chats as a 'Career Designer', plus a traditional Career Coach might be available to answer career-related questions for job seekers etc. **Are you ready for the future of work?** Own assets or become obsolete. David Autor, MIT So are you ready for the future of work? How will you design and manage your dream career? To help you prepare, Career Lab events focus on career innovation and collaboration with your peers. **The Organiser** I’m an innovator in digital business for 25 years, including starting and selling a personal brand side hustle called 'Connector'. Recently, I published a book about the Future of Work, introducing the idea of Career Assets, as the Career Ladder is broken.

**Welcome to The Assets Builders.** We are tired of the old story: study hard, get a job, climb the ladder. That ladder is broken, and we want to build our own. We are ambitious, talented, and restless to own more of our work. We believe that the future of work isn't a job. It's a portfolio. It's about not letting your job be your only plan. Jobs are temporary; assets are forever. Jobs pay; assets compound. We aren't just looking to earn a living; we're looking to design a life. We are ambitious, talented, and restless to own more of our work. This isn't just about entrepreneurship. It's about experimentation. It's about shifting from being an employee to an experimenter. We aren't asking you to quit your job. We're asking you to not rely on it. We're asking you to diversify, to build, and to take control. We build business assets and career assets, which are the tangible and intangible resources that grow your value and multiply your options. They include: Your unique skills and know-how. A powerful personal brand. A robust network of connections. A compelling portfolio of your work. Valuable digital content and digital products. We follow the Assets Ladder. We learn more skills. We earn more income. We own more assets. This is the three-step framework that busts the myth that assets are only for the rich. It's a path for anyone who is willing to do the work. This is not just an idea. It's a strategy. Learn Earn Own is our toolkit. We provide the maps, the scorecards, the templates, the AI prompts, and the digital tools you need to build your own Career Assets. By joining The Assets Builders, you will learn to: Design your own future and stop building someone else’s. Own more of your work and stop leaving money on the table. Earn more without working more to become more independent. Create multiple personal career ideas with our practical tools. Create things of value to monetise, including digital tools Collaborate with others with complementary skills and experience We are ready to build something that lasts. We are ready to own our potential. We are The Assets Builders. Join our kick-off at Career Lab in Dublin. **The Organiser** I’m an innovator in digital business for 25 years, including starting and selling a personal brand side hustle called 'Connector'.

My name is Aurelie and I'm graduating with an MSc in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Limerick. I run monthly **machine learning** and **deep learning** tutorials in Dublin with a small group of people. \*\*In this tutorial, we will build an end‑to‑end object detection workflow using the **DETR** model from Meta AI, powered by **Hugging Face Transformers** and **PyTorch** based on a Hugging Face tutorial. We will use a small public dataset, walk through data preprocessing, fine‑tuning the model, evaluating performance, and finally running inference on a **new, unseen image** containing a similar object that was not part of the training set. You will receive a Jupyter notebook with clean, reusable code covering every step. No setup required beyond a laptop and a Google account to run everything in Google Colab. **The tutorials are limited to 15 participants and you can reserve your spot either here or by emailing aureliem219@gmail.com. Please make sure to book as soon as possible, as the registration count on Meetup does not guarantee availability.** **For more information about the tutorials:** * The tutorials are interactive and will be conducted using **Jupyter notebooks** on **Google Colaboratory** (a free, cloud-based platform that lets us write and run code directly in the browser). While **Google Colaboratory** is free to use, tasks that require more computational power (such as training deep learning models) may benefit from GPU access. In that case, Google offers a once-off payment for around €10 which can last several months depending on your usage. Some familiarity with **Python** or other programming languages is helpful but not required. Everyone is welcome to join and learn at their own pace. * The tutorial lasts for 1.5 hours. * During the tutorial, I share the Jupyter notebook with participants so they can keep it for future reference. We go through the notebook step by step together and I do my best to answer any questions along the way. * The notebook includes the complete code from data preparation to model training and evaluation. It can be reused or adapted for your own business needs or personal projects * We will be working with a variety of **Python** libraries including **Scikit-learn**, **PyTorch**, **TensorFlow**, **Keras**, **Seaborn**, **Pandas** and **Matplotlib** and the **Hugging Face** framework. These tools will help us explore different machine learning and deep learning techniques using publicly available datasets. * Each tutorial focuses on a different algorithm in depth. Topics covered include **linear regression**, **logistic regression**, **K-means clustering**, **decision trees**, **artificial neural networks (ANNs)**, **convolutional neural networks (CNNs)** for image classification, **object detection** and **natural language processing**. The goal is to break down each technique step by step, making it approachable and practical for real-world applications. This tutorial take place at the **Grafton Hotel, 32 Stephen Street Lower, Dublin 2** (We will be sitting in the lobby in the corner or on the right handside). It will run from **3 pm** to **4.30 pm**. **Grafton Hotel, 32 Stephen Street Lower, Dublin 2** * The tutorials are a high-level practical introduction to machine learning and deep learning and the emphasis on understanding how we process the data , train and evaluate a model with Python. We won't cover the mathematics behind it however some tutorials may have mathematical formulas as part of the algorithm explanation and some tutorials might have more complex data preprocessing as it depends on the datasets and the task we are doing. However the tutorials focus on the practical part! * *Payments need to be made in advance to secure your place and fees are non-refundable unless I need to cancel the event, in this case refunds will be made.*

Hi All, The feedback was: More best practices! More code! Less slides! And here we go ... Building on the success and momentum of the first meetup this year (in/with ServiceNow), we are doing our second Practitioners Day! Brian Kelleher (CEO @ MicroDoc) is back and will talk about agents which iterate and check their own work in the cloud when certain conditions are met (e.g. new sentry issue, new user email, new PR). I will do another no-slides/just-code session and will probably demo Github speckit (an opinionated Spec-Driven Design framework). This time we are hosted by UCD. We will be in the brand new O'Connor Centre for Learning (Room L1.03). The agenda for the evening will be ... * 18:00 - Doors open. Pizza and Drinks - All * 18:30 - Welcome - Roland * 18:45 - Making Agents work for you - Brian * 19:30 - No slides. Just code - Roland * 20:00 - Wrap up. More mingling - All Hope to see you then and there. Regards ... Roland

This month, we're venturing over to GONG HQ to her two talks from staffers SDE Vanja Tesin, and Senior Engineering Manager Anthony Brady. DETAILS & OFFICIAL BOOKING >>>>> https://ti.to/dublin-java-user-group/264-gong-hq Check your schedule first (it's not cool to not show!) ## **Talk 1:** GONG & Agentic AI Tools Gong built an agentic AI solution called Claude Code to help developers work more effectively across its complex microservice architecture of over 100+ repositories. Using a multi-agent system with specialised rules, skills, and subagents, it automates development tasks and reduces time spent on research and context switching. The result is faster development and better pattern compliance, reducing complex tasks from days to hours. Join Vanja Tesin to discover how. ## **Talk 1:** **Resilience in Microservices** In the distributed landscape of modern backend architecture, the question isn’t if a service will fail, but when. Without robust fault tolerance, a single latent dependency can trigger a cascading failure across an entire ecosystem. Anthony's talk will focus on how Gong overcame some of those challenges and how they are implementing resilience utilising patterns such as Circuit Breakers, Rate Limiters and others to maintain stability and provide graceful degradation even when downstream services are under duress.

🚀 A one day build sprint at the frontier of AI agents & sandboxes Every time an AI agent writes code, it needs somewhere to run it. A real computer. Isolated. Fast. Disposable. Until recently, spinning one up took minutes. Daytona does it in under 90 milliseconds. That changes what is possible. **Registeration required on [luma page](https://giveago.co/register/hackspring).** **Please register here to confirm your post: [www.giveago.co/register/hackspring](https://giveago.co/register/hackspring)** On March 28th, we are bringing together Dublin’s most ambitious builders to explore what happens when you give AI agents fast, isolated compute and let them loose on real problems. *** # 🧠 What You Will Build **Design AI agents that demonstrate** * Sharp reasoning * Independent decision making * Safe execution in isolated sandboxed environments * Real world impact A sandbox is an isolated compute environment. A full computer spun up on demand where an agent can run code, browse the web, access files, execute workflows and disappear instantly. This is the infrastructure underneath tools like Claude Code, Codex and Browser Use. It is how serious agent systems run safely in production. *If it involves agents doing real work in the world, sandboxes are how you make it reliable and fast.* ✨ Every builder receives Daytona credits. 🏆 Top three teams earn thousands of dollars in compute. *** **Please register here to confirm your post: [www.giveago.co/register/hackspring](https://giveago.co/register/hackspring)** ## **Project Ideas:** * **Self-Evolving Agent** Spawn hundreds of agent variants in parallel, mutate prompts/tooling/memory, benchmark performance, and keep only the strongest. Darwinian selection for reasoning systems. * **Parallel coding agents** with full context on your codebase and all dependencies pre-loaded, running experiments simultaneously with different parameters and returning results fast. * **Research pipelines** that spin up isolated environments per experiment, run them in parallel, and aggregate outputs without any one run contaminating another. * **Evolutionary Fine-Tuning Lab** Run hundreds of fine-tuning jobs with varied hyperparameters and datasets in isolated sandboxes. Automatically rank, kill, and respawn better-performing models. *** ## What the day looks like 🕚 11:00 AM Doors open ⚙️ 11:30 AM Intro to Daytona and sandbox primitives 🚀 12:00 PM Hacking begins 🍕 1:00 PM Lunch 🛠️ 1:30 PM Back to building 🖥️ 4:45 PM Demos and judging 🏆 5:30 PM Awards and close Bring your laptop, an idea, and something you’ve been wanting to automate. **Please register here to confirm your post: [www.giveago.co/register/hackspring](https://giveago.co/register/hackspring)** ## About Daytona **[Daytona](https://daytona.io)**: Daytona builds the compute infrastructure that AI agents actually need: sandboxes that launch in under 90ms, fork into parallel branches, and snapshot mid-execution. Their customers include LangChain, Browser Use and more. This is the tech underneath Claude Code, Codex and every serious agentic tool running the cloud today. ## Venue Partner ​​\*\*[Baseline](https://baseline.community/)\*\*: An independent community and fund for early-stage founders in Ireland.

**First meetup of the Columbus AI Engineering group.** We’ll kick things off with a practical, beginner-friendly discussion on: **How LLMs like ChatGPT actually work — and how to build real applications with them.** We’ll cover: * what’s actually happening under the hood (at a high level) * why LLMs behave the way they do (hallucinations, prompt sensitivity, etc.) * how people are building real systems with them today * where things break in practice This will be a **short, informal talk (\~15–20 min)** followed by open discussion and Q&A. Whether you’re an engineer, builder, or just curious about how modern AI systems work, you’re welcome to join. No slides, no fluff — just real conversation about real systems. We’ll hang out afterward and get to know each other.

Let's bedazzle some books while we discuss our April pick: Bloodguard by Cecy Robson! Book description: One hundred years. Tens of thousands of gladiators. And today, only one will rise… Everything in the Kingdom of Arrow is a lie. Leith of Grey thought coming to this new land and volunteering to fight in the gladiator arena—vicious, bloodthirsty tournaments where only the strongest survive—would earn him enough gold to save his dying sister. He thought there was nothing left to lose. He was wrong—and they took everything. His hope. His freedom. His very humanity. All Leith has left is his battle-scarred body, fueled by rage and hardened from years of fighting for the right to live another day. Then Leith meets Maeve, an elven royal who is everything he despises. Everything he should hate. Until the alluring princess offers him the one thing he needs most: a chance to win the coveted title of Bloodguard—and his freedom. But in a kingdom built on secrets and lies, hope doesn’t come cheap. Nor will his ultimate revenge… Event: Please bring your own book, journal, bookmarks, etc to bedazzle. If you have bedazzling supplies, please bring them as well. I will supply gems, glue, and picker tools, but if you have certain colors in mind, you may want to bring your own.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA

Builders, creators, architects, admins, consultants - come one, come all. This one's for you. We're bringing a little friendly competition to the Columbus ServiceNow community while highlighting the cool things people have built on the platform. Five presenters will take the stage to showcase something they've built, solved, designed, or imagined on the ServiceNow platform - and a panel of judges (plus YOU, our amazing audience) will score them live. So basically, America's Got Talent but make it ServiceNow's Got Talent. Bring a notepad if you'd like 'cause you'll definitely be learning something new. Each presenter gets 10 minutes max to wow the crowd with: • A demo • A real-world business solution • A bold idea • A UX transformation • Or a creative use of the platform Judging Criteria: 🏆 Business Value 🚀 Innovation ✨ User Experience This event is about celebrating ideas, sharing knowledge, and showing how ServiceNow can drive both business impact and meaningful user value. Come learn. Come support. Come get inspired. Refreshments and bites will be provided. And maybe next time… you’ll be on stage.
