Jouons au conseil municipal
Jouons au conseil municipal

Ces Ă©lections qui ont lieu tous les 6 ans sont un thermomĂštre important de la vie politique Ă  un an des Ă©lections prĂ©sidentielle.

🚀 Bienvenue Ă  l’édition de Mars de notre meetup Grafana & Friends France ! Nous sommes ravis de vous inviter au prochain meetup Grafana qui se dĂ©roulera Ă  Station F, Ă  Paris, via notre partenariat avec AWS – un immense merci Ă  eux pour leur accueil chaleureux ! Rejoignez-nous pour des discussions techniques, des pizzas et des boissons bien fraĂźches ! **\*\*\*** Les portes ouvrent Ă  18h30, et les prĂ©sentations dĂ©buteront Ă  19h ! **Au programme :** đŸŽ™ïž **Vos modĂšles ML en production sont-ils sous contrĂŽle ?** *FiabilitĂ©, conformitĂ©, sĂ©curitĂ© : construire un dashboard Grafana qui couvre les trois.* DĂ©ployer un modĂšle en production, tout le monde sait faire. Le garder sous contrĂŽle —(fiabilitĂ©, coĂ»ts, conformitĂ© et sĂ©curitĂ© ) c'est une autre histoire. Prompt injection, model evasion, data poisoning : les menaces sur les workloads ML sont rĂ©elles et largement sous-monitorĂ©es. Dans ce talk, on construit ensemble un dashboard Grafana qui couvre les trois dimensions, avec des alertes concrĂštes sur des patterns d'attaque dĂ©tectables en temps rĂ©el. **Structure :** 1. **Le problĂšme** : Un modĂšle en prod n'est pas une API classique : non-dĂ©terminisme, dĂ©gradation silencieuse, coĂ»ts variables
 et surface d'attaque spĂ©cifique 2. **Les mĂ©triques qui comptent** : Latence, token consumption, drift detection cĂŽtĂ© fiabilitĂ©. Puis la couche sĂ©cu : dĂ©tection d'anomalies sur les inputs, taux de refus anormaux, exfiltration de donnĂ©es via les outputs 3. **DĂ©mo live** : Dashboard Grafana avec trois volets : santĂ© du modĂšle, coĂ»ts, et panneau sĂ©curitĂ© avec alertes sur des patterns suspects 4. **AI Act & NIS2 : pourquoi ça va devenir obligatoire** : Exigences de logging, traçabilitĂ© et monitoring des systĂšmes AI Ă  haut risque. Ceux qui monitorent dĂ©jĂ  ont une longueur d'avance 5. **Ce qu'on ne peut pas encore faire** (2 min) : Limites actuelles et pistes ouvertes **Speaker**: Samuel Desseaux, CTO spĂ©cialisĂ© en observabilitĂ© industrielle et sĂ©curitĂ© des systĂšmes critiques. đŸŽ™ïž **OpenTelemetry Ă  grande Ă©chelle : corrĂ©ler les signaux et stratĂ©gie de sampling** DĂ©ployer OpenTelemetry Ă  grande Ă©chelle pose rapidement des dĂ©fis de volume, de coĂ»ts et de lisibilitĂ© des donnĂ©es. Lorsque traces, mĂ©triques et logs se multiplient, il devient essentiel de conserver les bons signaux tout en prĂ©servant leur corrĂ©lation. Dans ce talk, nous verrons comment mettre en place des stratĂ©gies de sampling adaptĂ©es et comment maintenir la corrĂ©lation entre les signaux pour garder une observabilitĂ© exploitable dans des systĂšmes distribuĂ©s Ă  fort volume. À travers des exemples d’architecture et des bonnes pratiques, nous explorerons comment construire une pipeline OpenTelemetry scalable et efficace. **Speaker**: Alain Pham, Principal Solutions Engineer chez Grafana Labs 💬 **20h/20h30** : Q&As et Networking 🔚 **21h30** : The End Nos meetups sont ouverts Ă  tous, dĂ©butants ou experts.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Google Analytics Alternatives
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Google Analytics Alternatives
**Google Analytics Alternatives** Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday. Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”. Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process. We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer. Thanks to our 2026 sponsors: [Clarivoy](https://www.clarivoy.com), [What Box Consulting Group](https://www.whatboxconsultinggroup.com), [Conductrics](https://www.conductrics.com), and [Piwik PRO](https://piwik.pro) More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)

The inner circle consists of a small number of participants who actively discuss a topic, while those in the outer circle listen and observe. This format encourages participation from all members, as individuals from the outer circle can join the inner circle by taking an empty seat when they wish to contribute.](https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=00b4b265baa395dc4ad7b262d4d6e3b7b7c31b2195941076e51d2eca252c2d02JmltdHM9MTc2MjgxOTIwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=0e60c23d-2dbf-642d-0fd7-d4512c2b6597&psq=fishbowl+discussion&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvRmlzaGJvd2xfKGNvbnZlcnNhdGlvbik&ntb=1)
Columbus Code & Coffee 84 @ Improving
Columbus Code & Coffee 84 @ Improving
Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
Friday night social: Let's go to scene 75!
Friday night social: Let's go to scene 75!
We’re heading back to Scene75 on Friday, March 27 for a high-energy night of laser tag, mini golf, go-karts, arcade games, and whatever chaos we decide to get into. We’ve done this one before and it was a blast — great turnout, tons of laughs, and just the right mix of competition and hanging out. If you missed it last time, this is your shot. 🎯 What to Expect: Laser tag battles Mini golf challenges Go-karts (for those who need speed) Arcade games & game cards You can load however much you’d like onto a game card. Most people will probably be good with $15–$30, but it’s totally up to you. This is a super casual event — show up, jump into whatever looks fun, rotate groups, and hang out. No pressure, no complicated structure. Just a solid Friday night with good people. Also
 I haven’t hosted in a bit and I’m making a push to be more active again. If you’ve got ideas for future events you’d love to do, bring them. I’m all ears. Let’s run it back. đŸ”„
