Welcome to **Helene's Power Circle**, where a Certified Somatic & Mindset Coach with over 15 years of corporate experience supports people in achieving fulfillment.
The event is **open for women** to connect in our safe space and is designed to help us reconnect with ourselves and others in an authentic, grounded way.
On June 21, as the sun reaches its peak, we step into a rare moment of the year, the longest day, a **natural portal for expansion**, **clarity**, and **embodied alignment**.
In the heart of **Bois de Boulogne**, this gathering invites you to pause, reconnect, and consciously choose what you want to grow in the second half of the year.
Through a guided ritual inspired by ancient solstice traditions, you will:
âš Release what no longer supports your growth
âš Reconnect to your inner rhythm and intuition
âšActivate a sense of expansion, confidence, and visibility
âš Clarify what is ready to fully bloom in your life
We will move through a carefully curated experience that combines grounding, symbolic ritual, gentle embodiment practices, and reflection, held in a small, intentional circle. Expect a soft, natural atmosphere, barefoot if you wish, surrounded by trees, light, and the energy of midsummer.

Meetup ElasticFR #103 - La Home Sweet Company
đ€ Envie de proposer un sujet pour un prochain Ă©vĂšnement ? N'hĂ©site pas Ă venir en parler sur https://ela.st/cfp-elasticfr. đđŒ
**Agenda**
* Ouverture des portes
* Update sur Elastic (5 minutes)
* Talk1: La carcasse et sous le capot : Agent Building sans filtre par Aziz Imgharne (20 minutes)
* Talk2: Tri contextuel et haute cardinalité : l'approche par sparse vectors avec Elasticsearch par François Gaillard (20 minutes)
* Talk3: Sécuriser les migrations Elasticsearch : alias swap, rollback et reindex sans perte de données par Said Bouigherdaine (10 minutes)
* Food & drinks
**La carcasse et sous le capot : Agent Building sans filtre**
*Par Aziz Imgharne, EAfterWork*
On dĂ©cortique comment construire des agents IA Prod Ready et quand basculer vers des agents spĂ©cialisĂ©s. On finit par lâessentiel pour la prod : observabilitĂ©, tests, Ă©vals et fiabilitĂ©.
**Tri contextuel et haute cardinalité : l'approche par sparse vectors avec Elasticsearch**
*Par François Gaillard, ADEO*
Dans l'e-commerce Ă grande Ă©chelle, le tri contextuel traditionnel est un vĂ©ritable dĂ©fi en termes de performance. Chez ADEO, nous gĂ©rons le catalogue Leroy Merlin qui compte plus de 5 millions de produits et plus de 700 000 contextes de requĂȘte. Les solutions classiques (qui induisent une mapping explosion ou des nested objects) ne permettaient tout simplement pas de passer Ă lâĂ©chelle.
Les approches de ranking Ă deux Ă©tages Ă©cartent souvent des produits performants lors de la phase de retrieval (sĂ©lection large), avant mĂȘme qu'ils n'atteignent le moteur de tri. Il nous fallait intĂ©grer ces signaux contextuels dĂšs la premiĂšre Ă©tape.
Au cours de cette prĂ©sentation, nous montrerons comment nous avons traitĂ© chaque contexte de requĂȘte comme une dimension unique au sein dâun sparse_vector Elasticsearch. En utilisant un vecteur de requĂȘte avec une unique composante non nulle, le produit scalaire se transforme en une simple lecture de donnĂ©es (feature lookup) ultra-rapide. Nous avons ainsi transformĂ© une opĂ©ration de similaritĂ© complexe en une extraction de score simple et performante.
Nous partagerons nos résultats (obtenus sur un catalogue d'un million de produits) ainsi que les compromis identifiés.
**Sécuriser les migrations Elasticsearch : alias swap, rollback et reindex sans perte de données**
*Par Said Bouigherdaine, LexisNexis*
Toute Ă©quipe qui fait tourner Elasticsearch en production finit tĂŽt ou tard par se heurter au mĂȘme problĂšme : un changement de mapping est appliquĂ©, la rĂ©indexation Ă©choue en cours de route, et le cluster se retrouve bloquĂ© dans un Ă©tat Ă moitiĂ© migrĂ© que personne ne sait comment rattraper.
Les bases SQL ont Flyway. Les clusters de recherche, eux, se débrouillent avec des scripts curl et des messages Slack.
Cette prĂ©sentation dĂ©taille les patterns qui permettent de sĂ©curiser les migrations de schĂ©ma Elasticsearch en production â migrations versionnĂ©es, bascule dâalias avec retour arriĂšre, piĂšges de la rĂ©indexation asynchrone, verrous distribuĂ©s â le tout illustrĂ© avec le CLI open-source [ScaledSearch](https://github.com/saidbouig/scaledsearch).
DJ and mashups workshop - English
This course has been moved to Eventbrite :
https://cafe-mix.eventbrite.fr/?aff=meetdc
Many people love music, but very few dare to step behind the decks: to the side where you choose the tracks, create transitions, and get others dancing.
Café Mix is a collaborative music workshop centered around mixing that offers an accessible introduction to DJing.
During this workshop, with Olivierâs help, youâll learn how to use the controller, understand the basics of mixing, and create your own mini set.
No matter your skill level or age, we focus on fun, creativity, and discovery.
Group limited to a few participants so everyone has enough time with the equipment.
Inclusive event.

Columbus Code & Coffee 87 @ 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!
Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## đ€ Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
đĄ About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations â not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption â no guesswork required.
đ ïž What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
đ Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site.
###
American Sign Language Beginners Meetup Group
We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able!
Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!
Prototype, Play, and Build Workshops (In-Person @GameArena)
We're going to GameArena! We'll be in-person at the GameArena Gateway for our monthly COGG Prototype and Play event. Come to play and showcase your games!
We're back in the upper levels of the catwalk area. It'll be packed with lots of camaraderie playing your game(s) and other's games on the 2nd floor. Light snacks and water provided but you can buy food and drinks at the bar (alcoholic drink ID required).
[www.game-arena.co](http://www.game-arena.co/)
**Attendees:**
Don't have a game to show? Not a problem! All are welcomed and invited from all ages and backgrounds. The more we can have to play test our games is all the better!
**Developers:**
Do you have a game that you would like to get critical feedback on? Would you like an excuse to work on a game with other talented artists, programmers, musicians, designers, and writers? Digital, table-top, non-experienced developers, and the like are welcomed! We'll provide signage for your game to help others learn more about your work. Wifi, outlets, tables, and seats (though standing tables also) are available.
Come to the Prototype and Play workshop to collaborate and meet local game developers for an evening of epic and raw game play fun! Play works-in-progress, show off your own game, work with others to add polish to a game, or even lend your talents to other fellow developers. For this event, light snacks from the bar and water will be provided!
Though you can purchase you own if you like at the bar:

Step into The Arcane Foundry and create your own custom candle from start to finish.

Whether youâre coming solo or with friends, itâs designed to be simple, creative, and a good time.
Weâll walk you through the entire process, from picking your scents to choosing between a traditional cotton wick or a crackling wood wick. You can go with one fragrance or mix your own blend to create something completely unique**. No experience needed**, just show up and weâll handle the rest.
While your candle sets, feel free to hang out, play a game, explore the shop, or just relax and talk. Drinks and snacks are available, and the atmosphere leans into the **fantasy**, **dark academia**, and **gothic horror** vibe The Arcane Foundry is known for.

**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, weâll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. Weâll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. Weâll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.
