Join us for our first [Kyverno](https://kyverno.io/)-dedicated meetup before the summer break 🌴 We want to thank **[Schwarz Digits Spain](https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwarz-digits-spain/)** for kindly hosting us for this evening of learning and networking! **🧭** **What is Kyverno?** **[Kyverno](https://kyverno.io/)** is a CNCF-graduated, Kubernetes-native policy engine. Unlike other tools that require learning a new programming language, Kyverno allows you to manage cluster governance, security, and compliance using familiar Kubernetes manifests. With zero coding required, you can easily: * **Validate**: Block non-compliant resources before they hit your cluster. * **Mutate**: Automatically inject sidecars, labels, or configurations on the fly. * **Generate**: Automatically create new resources (such as NetworkPolicies or ConfigMaps) when a new namespace is provisioned. **📅 Agenda** * **18:30-18:45**. Doors Open. * **18:45-19:45**. Talks (see below). * **19:45-20:30**. Mingling and food. **📍Location:** c/ Bergara 13\, Barcelona \| [https://maps.app.goo.gl/zd6h3BGzHNxgAgjT6](https://maps.app.goo.gl/zd6h3BGzHNxgAgjT6) **🎙️ Talks** **1️⃣ The Kyverno Five: New Policy Types And What You Can Do With Them**, [Cortney Nickerson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/cortney-nickerson-26836413a/) *\- Head of Community at [Nirmata](https://nirmata.com)* (Talk in English 🇬🇧) As Kubernetes has evolved, so has Kyverno! This talk provides a tour of the five new Kyverno policy types, ValidatingPolicy, ImageValidatingPolicy, MutatingPolicy, GeneratingPolicy, DeletingPolicy, with real-world examples of how you can use them to solve complex security, automation, and governance issues. The talk will end by showcasing how you can combine the usage of these policy types, for advanced platform engineering solutions. **2️⃣ Kyverno más allá de la validación: automatización con mutación y generación de recursos**, [Javier Dompablo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/javier-d-62a7b824b) - *Expert Platform Engineer and Product Security en [Schwarz Digits](https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwarz-digits-spain/)* (Talk in Spanish 🇪🇸) En esta sesión exploraremos dos de las capacidades más potentes de Kyverno: la mutación y la generación de recursos. Veremos cómo automatizar las configuraciones, aplicar de forma transparente los estándares de la plataforma a los equipos de desarrollo y reducir la carga operativa mediante la creación y la modificación automáticas de recursos en Kubernetes. A través de ejemplos prácticos, descubriremos cómo implementar políticas que mejoran la consistencia, la seguridad y la gobernanza de los clústeres sin necesidad de modificar las aplicaciones. See you there 👋

**Hello, fellow DevOps enthusiasts 🤓** On **July 2nd**, we'll meet again for a couple of insightful talks, hosted by [InnoIT Consulting](https://www.inno-it.es/en/) 📍**Location**: C/ Diputació\, 280\, Bajos 2ª · Barcelona \| https://maps\.app\.goo\.gl/CnaqHvZnv32T8Un47 \-\-\-\-\-\- 📅 **Agenda** * **18:30 - 18:40** Welcome from the hosts * **18:45 - 19:15** **I apologise for the confusion! Anyway, here's the same plausible but wrong software again** \- Matīss Treinis * **19:15 - 19:45** **DevOps Horror Stories Vol. 1** \- Vicent Soria * **20:15 - 21:00** Networking & Snacks \-\-\-\-\-\- **🎤 Talks & Speakers** * **Title: I apologise for the confusion! Anyway, here's the same plausible but wrong software again** * **Speaker**: **[Matīss Treinis](https://www.linkedin.com/in/matisst/)** \- Creator and Author\, [SpecDD](https://specdd.ai/) * **Duration**: 30-45 mins * **Abstract**: Introduction to SpecDD, a Specification-driven development framework that enables humans and AI agents to build better software. * **About**: I have spent most of my life building things. Close to twenty years of production platforms, infrastructure, distributed systems, developer tooling, and the organisational structures around them. My background is in software engineering and architecture, but most of my work has lived where product requirements, developer tooling, infrastructure, delivery process, and team structure all meet. I build the systems around the software as much as the software itself. I have run full technology functions end-to-end: development, architecture, DevOps, delivery, hiring, vendor strategy, and operational structure. A lot of my career has been spent taking environments that are unstable, fragmented, or afraid to ship, and turning them into organisations that can move quickly without collapsing under their own weight. I still work hands-on every day. I write code, work in infrastructure, and stay close to the actual problems instead of managing them from a distance. *** * **Title: DevOps Horror Stories Vol. 1** * **Speaker**: **[Vicent Soria](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vicentsoria/)** \- Fractional Infrastructure Engineer @ [techabreath.com](https://techabreath.com/) * **Duration**: 30-45 mins * **About**: I work with management and technical teams to connect strategy with execution. My goal is to transform technology from an obstacle into a business driver. I act as a fractional CTO, DevOps engineer, or technology consultant, depending on each client's needs at any given time. I provide a practical and strategic perspective, helping to make impactful technology decisions: those that accelerate projects, improve processes, and align technology with business objectives. \-\-\-\- 🔑 **Important Access Note** Our host requires the attendees to provide their ID to grant us access to their offices. **Do not forget to fill in the "NIF - NIE - Passport" field** when registering!

**Event Summary** 5 minutes. Two woman. A spark. Rotate through 1-on-1 conversations with 15+ women in tech and find your next partner, mentor, co-founder, or collaborator. **Description** Want to meet interesting women in tech without the pressure? This is speed networking — a gentle, human format where you have 1-on-1 conversations with women you'd actually want to know. No pitches. No performing. Just real talks with real people. **How it works:** You sit across from someone. You have 5 minutes to talk. Ask each other what you're building, what you're curious about, what you're working through. A soft bell rings. You move to the next person. By the end of 90 minutes, you've met a dozen women — some become collaborators, some become friends, some just remind you why you love this work. **Who's this for?** Woman in tech, Founders, engineers, designers, product managers, mentors, marketing, etc. anyone building or exploring in tech. Early-stage or scaling. Experienced or just starting. All we ask is genuine curiosity and an open heart. Whether you're looking for a co-founder, a mentor, a peer who gets it, or just interesting people to learn from — there's space for you here. **Why this format?** It feels like a real conversation, not networking. Because it is. Meet quality over quantity. 5 minutes is enough to know if there's real connection. Unexpected friendships. Sometimes the person who changes your trajectory isn't who you were looking for. Share what you know. If you've got experience, there's someone here who'd love to learn from you. If you're early-stage, there's someone who remembers what that felt like. Just women being humans together. No competition. No ego. Just real. **What to bring:** Yourself. Your ideas. Your phone (LinkedIn app open and ready). We'll provide prompts to get conversations started if you need them. After the event you can stay for a non-structured networking to keep going the conversation. We'll add you to a WhatsApp group so you can follow up with the people you connected with. The magic happens in the DMs — so show up ready to be proactive. **WhatsApp Group:** [https://chat.whatsapp.com/GSwiV9YYOtwCcxnOPvgtbL](https://chat.whatsapp.com/GSwiV9YYOtwCcxnOPvgtbL)

**🔎The session:** AI is already part of how we work, but most people are still using it as a chat or an autocomplete tool. The next step is moving from asking for help to letting AI actually do parts of the work for you. **That is where agents come in**. In this session, we explore **how to build and use AI agents in a practical way using tools like GitHub Copilot, Agent Mode, MCP, and reusable skills**. The focus is not on complex architectures, but on what is useful in real day-to-day work. We walk you through **what an AI agent is** and why it makes sense to use one instead of just prompts or simple automations. You will see how agents can reason, plan, and execute tasks across multiple steps, and how to apply patterns that already work in production. We also look at **how this fits into your existing workflow**, especially in environments like VS Code, and **how agents can connect to real systems and data**. Real examples will show how to automate documentation, interact with data platforms such as Microsoft Fabric, and create reusable workflows that save time. The session also **covers common mistakes**, including overcomplicating solutions with too many agents, and how to keep things simple, controlled, and maintainable. 🎯**The goal is to give you a clear and practical understanding so you can start using agents in your own work without overengineering.** 👩‍💻**This session is for you if:** * you are a developer working with code on a daily basis * you use tools like VS Code, GitHub, or similar environments * you are an engineer interested in improving productivity using AI beyond autocomplete * you want to explore how to integrate AI agents into real workflows -No prior experience with AI agents is required -Basic understanding of development workflows is enough 📋**Agenda** 🙋18:00 Registration & Welcome **🗣️18:30** Session and Q&A 🌮19:30 Drinks & Bites We look forward to this inspiring evening together! 🤩

Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it “seems good,” and move on. That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable. In this talk, we’ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. We’ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork. This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it. We’ll cover: * Why “it looks good” is not enough * How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints * How to compare LLM outputs more systematically * Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness * How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results * Where automated evaluation works — and where humans still need to stay in the loop By the end, you’ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
