Software Configuration Management

**Po vánoční pauze jsme zpátky a první meetup roku v Praze je konečně tady! 🔥** Čeká nás pohodový večer plný inspirace, sdílení zkušeností a networkingu. Tradičně začneme **Nowwwinkami**, a pak navážeme bohatým programem v podobně přednášek a diskuzí 😉. Ať už jste víc na React, Figmu, performance, design nebo „co zrovna vibuje“, tohle je ten typ meetupu, kde si vždycky něco odneseme a nového dozvíme. **Hlavní line-up a na co se těšit dále** 🤩 * 🟢 18:00 otevíráme * 1️⃣ 18:40 **Nowwwinky** od Tomáše Kouta * 2️⃣ 19:00 **Rendering real-time data in React** od Roberta Gemrota * 3️⃣ 19:30 **Z Figmy do kvalitního kódu: Code Connect + AI** od Jana Kryšpína * 4️⃣ 20:00 **Start-up-and-down** od Jana Sasínka * 🎓 70 nadšených účastníků * 🍻 a v neposlední řadě kvalitní catering a networking \-\-\- 1️⃣ **Nowwwinky** od nikoho jiného než samotného [Tomáše Kouta](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom%C3%A1%C5%A1-kout/) Tomáš nás uvede do večera a naservíruje rychlý výběr nowwwinek, které mu za poslední dobu utkvěly a které si zaslouží pozornost. \-\-\- 2️⃣ **Rendering real-time data in React** od [Roberta Gemrota](https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-gemrot/) ze Second Foundation Dostáváte a zobrazuje data přes websocket? A měřili jste někdy dopady na výkon? V tomto talku si představíme jednu z možných technik, jak využít síly Reactu pro vykreslování realtimových dat. *Robert o sobě říká: „I'm a full stack software engineer, able to dive deep into just about anything. Currently working @ Second Foundation. I actually enjoy reading documentation.“* \-\-\- 3️⃣ **Z Figmy do kvalitního kódu: Code Connect + AI** od [Jana Kryšpína](https://www.linkedin.com/in/crishpeen/) z Alma Career Jak napojit design systém na Figma Code Connect a s pomocí AI zrychlit převod designů do dobrého produkčního kódu. \-\-\- 4️⃣ **Start-up-and-down** od [Jana Sasínka](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jan-sasinek/) Měli jsme skvělý plán a štěstí v neštěstí. Pak jsme se ale rozhodli zkrátit si cestu přes cizí les a místo nekončící inovace jsme se ztratili v nekončícím stínu YAMLů. Upřímný příběh o tom, jak nevíra v sebe a kanón na vrabce rozstřílely runway i šanci na úspěch. *Jan o sobě říká:* „*Bastlič devadesátkových desktopů, vývojář, architekt, lead, CTO, naivka a vyléčený misantrop. Čtvrt století v IT mě naučilo, že se nikdy nenaučím, co bych se naučit chtěl. A taky mít rád lidi od IT.“* \-\-\- Přijďte si poslechnout, podiskutovat a nastartovat se v novém roce správným a pozitivním směrem. ✨ Neváhejte s registrací a zabookujte si termín – bude to stát za to! 🎉 👉 Pro další zajímavé novinky a dění sledujte kanály komunity na [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/@FrontendistiCz), [X](https://x.com/Frontendisti), [Facebooku](https://www.facebook.com/frontendisti/), [Instagramu](https://www.instagram.com/frontendisti/), [LinkedInu](https://www.linkedin.com/company/frontendisti/posts/?feedView=all) nebo navštivte [náš web](https://www.frontendisti.cz).

Hello Python magicians and A.I. operators! The 33rd Prague PyData meetup will take place at **Pure Storage offices**. As usual, the talks will start at 18:30 but we encourage you to come as soon as **18:00** to enjoy the opportunity to socialize and refresh yourselves (which you can continue doing during the break and after the talks). Note that this time we will want you to sign a **non-disclosure agreement (NDA) when entering** (only to protect the Pure Storage hardware in development; the talks themselves are public of course!) Our main goal is to build the community around Python and data and make it welcoming to people of various skills and experience levels. ⚡ If you are interested in giving a lightning talk (up to 5 minutes to present an idea, tool or results related at least to some degree to Python and/or data), please contact us before the event or at its beginning. **📢 Evals, Benchmarks, and Guardrails: A Pythonista's Guide to Not Mixing Them Up** **([Šimon Podhajský](https://www.linkedin.com/in/simonpodhajsky/), Waypoint)** "I'll just write pytest tests for my LLM"—but should you? This talk untangles benchmarks, evals, and guardrails: three concepts that sound similar but map to different Python patterns. Learn why pytest CAN work for evals (with the right mindset), why guardrails aren't tests at all, and a grounded theory approach to defining what "good" actually means for your task. **📢 Orchestration Beyond the Schedule: Real-Time Integrations with Prefect** **([Ondřej Hlaváč](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ondrej-hlavac-24423a217/), Pure Storage)** As Python data workflows grow in complexity, relying on simple scripts and cron jobs often leads to "silent failures" and a lack of visibility. Enter Prefect—a modern orchestration framework that empowers developers to build, observe, and manage robust pipelines using standard Python code. While Prefect is rapidly gaining traction for scheduled batch processing, we took a different path: using it to power real-time event integrations for Master Data Management. In this talk, I will introduce what makes Prefect unique compared to legacy tools and demonstrate how we adapted it to handle immediate, event-driven flows. We will explore how its built-in resilience capabilities—like automatic retries, state management, and detailed observability—can be repurposed to make real-time integrations as reliable as nightly ETL jobs.

Fortlaufend werden auf WordPress-Websites von Bots automatische „Brute Force Attacken” ausgeübt. Mit einer Serie ziemlich fieser Bot-Attacken wird die WP-Website nachhaltig auf Schwachstellen abgeklopft. Ziel ist das System zu übernehmen, andere Inhalte auf der Website zu platzieren oder sogar Schadsoftware zu installieren. In diesem Talk tauchen wir in die Welt der digitalen Sicherheit ein und schauen uns an, welche Strategien wirklich helfen können, WordPress-Websites widerstandsfähiger zu machen — und welche beliebten „Tricks” in Wahrheit kaum Schutz bieten. Anhand praxisnaher Beispiele zeigt Bernhard Kau, wo sich der Einsatz lohnt und wo man besser die Finger davon lässt. Es schließt sich eine offenen Diskussion an.

Business Stories is a conversation series about how real businesses are built, operated, and eventually transitioned. The focus is on decisions, trade-offs, and long-term thinking rather than tactics or trends. ​This session features **[Šárka Betke](https://www.linkedin.com/in/%C5%A1%C3%A1rka-betke-12a7a457/)**, founder of **[Vinofactum](https://www.vinofactum.wine/)**, a Berlin-based wine importer and distributor focused on natural wines from Central and Eastern Europe. ​After becoming a mother, Šárka left her stable career in fintech and founded Vinofactum in 2020, growing it to a combined revenue of over €1M without external funding. She built a trusted discovery platform shaped by close, long-term relationships with producers and loyal B2B clients. The business grew through disciplined commercial decisions in a traditional and highly competitive market. ​The conversation follows the full arc of the business, from the shift out of a well-paid director role to doing everything alone, through the hard trade-offs of bootstrapping and the reality of being an immigrant founder, to preparing a company for exit. *** ## ​Who this event is for * ​Founders building bootstrapped or capital-efficient businesses * ​Operators running distribution, wholesale, or product-led companies * ​Entrepreneurs in food, beverage, retail, or traditional industries * ​Business owners thinking about an exit in the coming years * ​Investors, advisors, and ecosystem builders interested in founder-led companies ​It is designed for people who value practical experience over abstract frameworks. *** ## ​What you will take away * ​A realistic view of how a bootstrapped business evolves over time * ​Insights into sourcing, pricing, and portfolio discipline * ​A grounded perspective on preparing for exit without rushing growth * ​Lessons on trust and relationships as a competitive advantage * ​Clear examples of decisions that shaped long-term outcomes *** ## ​🗓 **Agenda** * ​**18:00** – Doors open & informal networking * ​**18:30** – Fireside chat & open Q&A with **[Šárka Betke](https://www.linkedin.com/in/%C5%A1%C3%A1rka-betke-12a7a457/overlay/about-this-profile/)** * ​**19:30** – Relaxed networking *** ## ​**​Supported by** ​​✨ This event is proudly supported by **[Jimmy Technologies](https://www.fromjimmy.com/)** and **[Uppersky](https://uppersky.co/).**

I love my job and one of the main things I do is help customers get going with any of the data technologies at Microsoft. Right now there are a lot of my customers asking about Microsoft Fabric. It's hard to weave across all the shiny new options across the Fabric landscape, let alone figure out where it fits into your organization. In this session we'll focus on answering one question - how can I get data into Fabric? We'll talk through the "it depends" options and see some of the options in live demos.

### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way? This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents. Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to: Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture. Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases. Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI. Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem. Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.

**NEW LOCATION: Improving Office in Franklinton** Physical location: Improving Office 330 Rush Alley Suite #150 Columbus, OH 43215 Schedule: * 6:00 p.m.: Socialize, eat, and drink. Improving will be providing pizza and beverages. * 6:30 to 8:00 pm. Main meeting and presentation(s). Lonnie Morgan will be presenting information about the DLT Library. "The Python library `dlt` provides a powerful [REST API toolkit](https://dlthub.com/docs/dlt-ecosystem/verified-sources/rest_api/basic) to ingest data. Combined with our [LLM scaffolds](https://dlthub.com/workspace) and [MCP server](https://dlthub.com/docs/hub/features/mcp-server), you can build a custom connector for any of the 8k+ available sources in 10 minutes by following this guide. Building with LLMs is an iterative process. We will follow this general workflow and give practical tips for each step." See Our [Parking Map](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1u2A4fLNlxwLJn0KA_hKc8bnFlFHLvsHBDh-_8wzX_tk/edit?usp=sharing) We meet on the last Monday of each Month. Presentations are given by members and friends of this group. If you would like to do a presentation (small or large) on a python topic, please contact centralohpython@gmail.com

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!
