Software Configuration Management

Give your still good laptop a second life instead of ditching it because Windows 11 says it is no good... Or you heard Linux is cool. If you have a backup of your data, that is great, else indicate that you do not, so we can help you. Do so in an extra message or to m10@m10tech.nl, else I don't receive your information. Geef je laptop die het nog prima doet een tweede kans in plaats van hem af te schrijven omdat Window 11 dat zegt... Of omdat je hoorde dat Linux gaaf is. Als je al een backup van je data hebt gemaakt is dat perfect. Of verwacht je dat wij dat doen? In dat geval graag aangeven hoe vol je harde schijf nu is... Doe dat in een extra bericht of aan m10@m10tech.nl, want de info komt anders niet door.

**Please note: due to a planned demonstration blocking Utrecht Centraal between 13 and 14, we are gathering earlier at 12:30 at Driebergen-Zeist station and 12:50 at the bus stop Prinses Margrietlaan!** Come along, lovely queer hikers! 🌿✨ This time we’re serving an easy-going queer nature moment with a short loop through **Landgoed Heidestein** near Zeist. Think dreamy forest paths, shimmering fens, a peaceful forest pond, and heather fields - a lot of diversity for such a short walk :) We’re teaming up with **Cocktail (COC’s group for LGBTQIA+ refugees & asylum seekers)** for this event, so besides soaking up nature, we’re creating space for connection, sharing stories, and learning from each other’s journeys and experiences. Expect a vibe that’s part hike, part picknick, part wholesome community exchange. 🌈 Bring your snacks and blankets, as we’ll pause along the way for a relaxed picnic moment together. Because queer joy isn’t just about where we go, but who we walk with. 💖 **Practical info** 📏 **Distance:** 5 or 7 km (loop walk) 📍 **Start:** Bus stop Prinses Margrietlaan, Zeist (5km option) Driebergen-Zeist station (7km option) 🏁 **End:** Back at the starting point 🥾 **Level:** easy - chill pace 🤝 **Meeting point:** outside the train station **Driebergen-Zeist at 13:45** or bus stop **Prinses Margrietlaan (Zeist) at 14:20** ❗You’re welcome to join from another direction. If you come by car you can park at P+R Driebergen-Zeist. Please note: we published this hike with Cocktail simultaneously, which is also why we lowered the participant number from Hiking Queer NL's side. Pack your: 🍱 snacks 🚰 water 🧥 rain coat/umbrella ☀️ sun screen 🏳️‍🌈 anything else you might need ❌ If you signed up and cannot make it in the end, please cancel your RSVP attendance so we know how many people will show up and someone else can take your place instead. 💗 A voluntary donation helps us to keep the Meetup group up and running :) you can either pay via a Tikkie or in cash after we finish the hike. *Hiking Queers Netherlands & Cocktail (COC)*

Welcome to the third edition of the Cafe Crawl series! 🥐☕ This time we're heading just outside the city center to explore the cafes of the Vaartsche Rijn area and further down in the south of Utrecht. We meet at Vaartsche Rijn station and from there we'll take a scenic walk along the canals and waterways of this quieter, lesser-known part of Utrecht, stopping at three carefully selected cafes along the way. At each stop we'll sit down, enjoy something to eat or drink, and get to know the people around us. You'll be put in small groups that switch a few times, so by the end you'll have had genuine conversations with a good mix of people. How it works: We walk, we discover, we eat something delicious, and we meet new people. The focus is on being in the moment, enjoying the city, and good company. ⚠️ If you're unsure whether you can make it, please free up your spot for someone else.

We're doing another city escape! Please note that we're gonna play a game. During the game we'll focus on that. After the game there's time to take pictures and have a drink. I have a discount, so it's +/- €5,- per person. Tickets are not refundable. Don't sign up if you're not planning to join. Join [our chat](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DtI6sOESSE797Q5dR1RzVG) to stay tuned.

*Since this day will be in Dutch, this description is too.* **Ontdek de kracht van stilte** *“De innerlijke kracht van stilte, verkregen vanuit een diepe gronding van lichaam en geest, schept de basis voor ware vrede en harmonie.”* – Gelek Rimpoche Een paar keer per jaar organiseren we op zondag een bijzondere dag van meditatie en verstilling. Even weg van de drukte, om tot rust te komen en opnieuw contact te maken met je eigen adem, je lichaam, je innerlijke stilte. We doen dit door middel van bodyscans, mindful bewegen, zit- en loopmeditatie, inspirerende teksten en uitwisseling met elkaar. Ook de lunch (zelf meenemen) gebruiken we als oefening in bewust aanwezig zijn - in stilte. Of je nu veel mediteert of helemaal aan het begin staat - je bent welkom zoals je bent. *Misschien is dit zo’n dag waar jij aan toe bent? Je bent van harte uitgenodigd.* **Datum:** Zondag 21 september 2025 **Plaats:** Jewel Heart, Hatertseveldweg 284, Nijmegen. **Tijd**: 10.30u-16.00u (inloop vanaf 10.00 uur) **Bijdrage**: Jewel Heart-leden kunnen gratis deelnemen.

In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** TBD
