[English version below] Cześć, Mam ogromną przyjemność zaprosić Was na pierwsze spotkanie organizowane wspólnie z łódzkim oddziałem **EPAM**. W planach dwie prezetacje odnośnie AI: **Java RAG: Build Your Own Black Box** oraz **Spring AI**. **Ważna uwaga: spotkanie wyjątkowo zaczyna się o 17:30!** Hi, I’m very happy to invite you to our first meetup, which is being organized in collaboration with the Łódź branch of EPAM. We have two AI-related talks planned: **Java RAG: Build Your Own Black Box** and **Spring AI**. **Important note:** this meetup will **start at 17:30**. **Spring AI** Transforming your existing Java applications into intelligent, AI-driven systems no longer requires a PhD in Data Science or switching to Python. In this session, we explore how Spring AI brings the familiar power of the Spring ecosystem - portability, modularity, and POJO-based design - directly into the world of Artificial Intelligence. We’ll move beyond basic API calls to show how you can harness Large Language Models (LLMs) like OpenAI and Google Gemini using the same @Service and dependency injection patterns you use every day. We will provide an overview of the major capabilities and also dive into the latest Spring AI v2 milestones that position Java at the forefront of the agentic AI wave. By the end of this talk, you’ll see how Spring AI acts as a bridge that allows Java developers to build production-ready, intelligent features without reinventing the wheel. **Dzmitry Sidarenka** Dzmitry has nearly 20 years of experience specializing in systems built with Java. He is passionate about building and testing robust APIs and is known for thriving in high-pressure production incident troubleshooting. His work focuses on designing reliable, maintainable services and improving system resilience through pragmatic engineering practices. **Java RAG: Build Your Own Black Box** Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) often feels like a magical black box. But once you start experimenting with it yourself, it quickly becomes clear how powerful the combination of information retrieval and generative AI can be. Key topics: \- What is Retrieval\-Augmented Generation \(RAG\)? \- Why should you consider using it in your own projects? \- Key RAG components and how the workflow operates \- How to build your own RAG solution using Java \- Live demo of a Java\-based RAG project and ways to extend and improve it **Ahmed Samy** Ahmed is a Senior Software Engineer at EPAM Systems. As he jokes, he often feels like a junior at work - mostly thanks to his constant curiosity and desire to keep learning new things. In his daily work, he actively uses AI as a learning companion, exploring new ideas by experimenting, testing different approaches, and working with various pieces of code. **About the partner** EPAM is a global leader in AI transformation engineering and integrated consulting, serving Forbes Global 2000 companies and ambitious startups. With over thirty years of expertise in custom software, product and platform engineering, EPAM empowers organizations to become AI-native enterprises, driving measurable value from innovation and digital investments.

## Beads: Go Open Source Projects in the Age of AI Hello, 世界! For meetup #58 on Tuesday [Mar 31, 2026 19:00 CET](https://www.meetup.com/leipzig-golang/events/312537698/) we are happy to have [Akim Zmerli](https://www.linkedin.com/in/akimzmerli/) give us an intro to [beads](https://github.com/steveyegge/beads), specifically: > How agents perform long-running tasks and pass context seamlessly to each other. [Beads](https://github.com/steveyegge/beads) is a rising Go project that brings structured planning to any workflow, whether agentic or hands-on. [Akim Zmerli](https://www.linkedin.com/in/akimzmerli/) will present his favorite techniques, TUI projects and what Rob Pike thinks about the current state of affairs. The beads project is less than six months old (2025-10-11), but already well beyond 250 KLOC, with more than 200 KLOC written in Go. We are always interested in developer tools. At [#44](https://golangleipzig.space/posts/meetup-44-wrapup/), less than two years ago, not a single AI coding tool did make it to [our list](https://golangleipzig.space/posts/meetup-44-wrapup/). Looking forward to this foray into the agentic coding space. ### Schedule * 18:45 Doors open * 19:00 Welcome * 19:10 Beads * 19:45 Open discussion We’ll meet: * in person at [Basislager Leipzig](https://basislager.co), at [Peterssteinweg 14, 04107 Leipzig](https://maps.app.goo.gl/1fMkeDSPZ7Aauszh8) ([OSM](https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3504864558)) * and online via [Jitsi](https://meet.jit.si/LeipzigGophers58) Join us to discuss SOTA dev tools and more.

**Connected Westerville Night of Networking** *April Edition: The Introduction Economy* You've been to the networking events. You've done the small talk. Collected the cards. Forgotten the names. And walked out feeling like you just wasted two hours of your life. The problem isn't you. It's the format. Most networking events put you in a room and tell you to figure it out. So everyone defaults to elevator pitches and business talk, and nothing real gets built. Here's the truth about networking that most people miss: Your network isn't just who you know. It's who thinks of you when they're talking to someone else. *That's* The Introduction Economy. And it only works when relationships are real. There's a reason people who come once keep coming back. It starts with seven minutes that feel nothing like networking. Then we open it up. Free networking. More conversations. More momentum. This is a room full of corporate professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, creatives, and career builders in the Westerville and Columbus area. The mix is the magic. You might never do business with everyone you meet tonight. But someone in this room will think of *you.* **By name**. So, the next time someone needs exactly what you do, you get the recommendation. **April 14th. RSVP now.** **When:** Tuesday\, April 14th \| 6:15 PM \-\- 8:00 PM **Where:** Vineyard Community Center \| 6000 Cooper Rd\, Westerville\, OH 43081

**Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People** Confidence isn’t just about believing in yourself, it’s about knowing where you belong and who you can grow alongside. In this April Confidence Lab Happy Hour, we’ll explore how living in your authentic truth helps you find your people, build meaningful collaborations, and create spaces where vulnerability is met with respect rather than risk. Together, we’ll reflect on what it looks like to advocate for yourself with clarity and care, and how confidence deepens when it’s rooted in connection rather than comparison. Featured speaker **Lachandra Baker**, founder of **[LBB Edutainment](https://www.lbbedutainment.com/)** and author of *Your Own Biggest Cheerleader*, will share reflections on authenticity, psychological safety, and the power of community over individual achievement. Drawing from personal stories—including the significance of turning 53—Lachandra will invite us into a conversation about showing up fully, being seen, and choosing relationships that support who you truly are. Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere with space for reflection, shared insight, and intentional connection—plus drinks, light bites, and the kind of conversations that remind you you’re not meant to do this alone. Come as you are. Leave feeling clearer about your voice, your people, and the confidence that grows when both are aligned. **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*

This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
