Abundance Federation Dublin — Platform & Data Infrastructure Working Session
Abundance Federation Dublin — Platform & Data Infrastructure Working Session
This is the second working session for the Abundance Federation Dublin group. After our February meetup we formed a team of four developers and four data scientists who've been working steadily on the platform and the first public AI dataset pilot. We're now looking to grow the team as the work expands. **Where we are** * The Kindness & volunteering platform is live but rough. Profiles, communities, messaging, tasks, quests and incentives all work, but it needs proper attention on both design and architecture before we push it toward a real MVP. Making it easy, coherent and genuinely fun to use matters as much as the engineering underneath — both have to land. * The first AI dataset pilot (Irish agricultural weed identification, with Transition Year students and adult volunteers) launches later this year. Tooling plans are written; the data team is working through them. The dataset side has real engineering work too — orchestration, pipelines, annotation tooling, and the interfaces volunteers will actually use — so the roles below apply across both teams. **Who we'd particularly like to meet** The work right now would especially benefit from: * UX designers or design-minded developers who care about making real software feel coherent, easy, and enjoyable to use * Python / Django developers who enjoy growing a real codebase * Backend developers comfortable with messy real-world systems * Database architects — we have decisions ahead that would benefit from experienced judgement * DevOps people who enjoy quietly making things reliable That said, this is a broad project and there's room for more than just those roles. Frontend developers, data scientists, technical writers, testers, community organisers, and people who just want to help in whatever way makes sense — all welcome. Come along, see what we're doing, and we'll figure out together where you might fit. People at any stage of their career are welcome. Experience is valuable, but so is persistence and follow-through — on a project like this, the people who keep showing up are the ones who shape what gets built. **On the night** * A short walkthrough of where the platform and data work are now (warts and all) * A clear-eyed look at the design and architectural questions we're working through * Small-group conversations to figure out what's most useful, what's feasible, and who might want to keep working on what * Pizza, soft drinks, and an optional pub afterwards for anyone up for it **Logistics** * Digital Hub, Dublin * Wednesday, June 10th, 7–9pm * Free, in-person, finishing on time at 9pm * RSVP through Meetup so we can plan numbers The wider Abundance Federation is a mission-locked civic initiative working on shared digital infrastructure to bring down the cost of essentials over the long term. The platform and the data work are the technical foundations of that — and they'll only be as good as the people who build them. Come along if you'd like to help shape what gets built.

Python Ireland June 2026 Meetup
Python Ireland June 2026 Meetup
\> Note: If you have registered via luma\, please dont double register here\, Thanks\. **Talk: Decoding Open Source: How to Find Your First (Healthy) Community.** Not all open source projects are created equal. While open source projects may share the same license(s), the experience of contributing varies from project to project, from corporate-led open source projects, grass-roots python projects, to projects belonging to foundations such as PyTorch Foundation and Cloud Native Computing Foundation. We will pull back the curtain on the 'Open Source Spectrum' and the broad array of common roles within open source communities. Let’s look beyond the README.md, and investigate the social dynamics and how you can confidently navigate your way from an outsider to a contributor. Attendees will walk away understanding how to navigate across different open source projects, being able to identify opportunities for both code and non-technical contributions, and recognise various “green flags” that signal a healthy open source community, while making a lasting first impression. Target Audience: \- People looking to start contributing to open source projects\, and who want to learn some red/green flags on communities/projects\. \- People listed above would most likely be college students\, early career engineers\, or engineers who primarily work on Closed Source and are looking for more open source opportunities\. \- Experienced open source contributors can provide insightful feedback and stories during and after the presentation **Author:** **Dominik Kawka** [https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominik-kawka/] [Dominik Kawka is a Community Architect in Red Hat's Open Source Program Office. He focuses on AI communities, including CNCF projects such as Kubeflow and KServe, and RamaLama.] **Author:** **Ananya Nalavathu** [https://www.linkedin.com/in/ananyanalavathu/] [A Master’s student in Management and Marketing, with a focus on Digital Marketing. She is interested in community-driven initiatives and exploring the intersection of technology and marketing.] ============================= **Talk: TBA** **=============================** **Lightning Talk:** 1.

Battle of the personal agents
Battle of the personal agents
Join the Columbus AI community for a special event. **Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether you’re running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works. We’re interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how it’s hosted and managed, how you built it, and why you’ve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks. This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If you’d like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyone’s demonstrations. Come ready to show what you’ve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Finding Product Insights
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Finding Product Insights
**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose** Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap. Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn: * Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge * How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change * Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction * How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work. **About Our Speaker** [Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.
