Platform Engineering Meets AI‑Driven DevOps at Ductus
Azure Skåne and DevOps Skåne are excited to invite you to a special joint community evening — hosted on‑site at **Ductus**.
***Please note that this is not our regular venue, so double‑check the location before you arrive.***
" **Ductus, Grynbodgatan 3, 211 33, Malmö**"
We have two strong sessions lined up, covering both the human side of platform engineering and the emerging world of AI‑enabled DevOps through Azure & ADO MCP Servers.
## **Agenda**
**17.30 – 17.45** — Meet & Greet
**17.45 – 18.15** — *Session 1:* Winning with Platform Engineering (Fredrik van Bruggen)
**18.15 – 18.45** — *Session 2:* The Future of DevOps with Azure & ADO MCP Servers (Negar Shahbaz)
**18.45 – 19.30** — Food & Mingle
### **Session 1: Winning with Platform Engineering – Focus on the Users, Not the Tools**
**Speaker:** Fredrik van Bruggen, Platform Engineer at Precise Biometrics & Co‑organizer of DevOps Skåne/Malmö
Platform engineering often starts with the right intentions but the wrong focus: tools. Fredrik explores why successful platforms are built around developer experience, reduced cognitive load, and friction‑free workflows. Learn how internal platforms can be treated as user‑facing products and how thoughtful abstractions can accelerate delivery instead of slowing teams down.
### **Session 2: The Future of DevOps with Azure & ADO MCP Servers**
**Speaker:** Negar Shahbaz – Microsoft Cloud Solution Architect, Capgemini Sweden https://sessionize.com/negar-shahbaz/
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is becoming the universal standard for enabling AI assistants to interact with external tools and data. Negar will walk through Azure & Azure DevOps MCP Servers and show how they support the full DevOps chain — from secure access to work items and pull requests to build pipelines, test plans, and even Bicep schema retrieval. A forward‑looking session for anyone curious about AI‑driven DevOps workflows.
A big welcome!

Coffee Talk
Fulfillment. Joy. – Do you know what it is? Do you feel it now?
Many of us are living lives that have “just sort of happened”. We had a dream, a vision (maybe we still do) for what we wanted our lives to look like. Somewhere along the way, life took over and something else ended up happening. We made decisions, took a turn down a path, and now our life isn’t what we thought it would be.
Or we’re living someone else’s life. Maybe it’s what our parent’s wanted for us. What we believe our partner or a potential partner might want. Or maybe it’s what we believe we need to do and have to be happy. I was one of these people. My life checked all the boxes for what I thought I needed in order to be happy. And still, I wasn’t.
Join me for a coffee talk on what it means to live a Life By Design. Where your choices are deliberate and based on your authentic, true self. What you have to let go off to achieve this (hint: the notion that vulnerability is a weakness and feelings of fear and guilt) and who you will become in the process.
Shut Up & Write!® in Amager
**Co-working for writers in Amager!**
Join us for an hour of focused writing time. All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in the area.
We meet in this lovely spacious café, chilled out, usually not very busy at this time, with an on-site bakery of delicious pastries. Once everyone is here and settled, I will lead a quick introduction, and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session.
After the hour is up feel free to chat / take off / keep writing if you're on a roll. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers, and it can be a great way to learn from eachother.
**A note about the format**
We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing.
For our full event schedule, visit [https://shutupwrite.com](https://shutupwrite.com)
**Practical Details:**
WiFi name / password: Kasada / haveaniceday
Travel / Parking info: Kasada is just a few minutes walk from Lergravsparken Metro Station.
We will usually be at the (only) round table, with power outlets if you need one.
Venue Guidelines: Please thank our hosts by purchasing something.
Shut Up & Write!™ Copenhagen
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at our Copenhagen Shut Up & Write! sessions.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, résumé, melody, poem, or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
SCHEDULE:
- 15 minutes of hellos and getting settled; maybe some quick intros.
- Then, the timer starts! : writing for 1 hour.
- After the hour is up... chat / take off / keep writing, if you're on a roll.
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens once the hour of writing is complete. Writing can be very solitary... connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
It's best to be on time, but BEING LATE IS ALSO OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check in with us after the session. (We’ll be the ones with the small Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
What Should I Bring?
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.
Tuesday Foodclub
We are a group of people meeting on Tuesdays to socialize around cooking and eating together. Usually around 40-50 people. Many are international students, but also other people join. The foodclub exist independent of Meetup, we invite you because we have room for a few more people.
The food is vegan and made from donated leftover veggies from a local greengrocery.
The place has originally hosted leftwing activist groups, and many of the people joining are also involved in political groups.
If you want to join for chopping and cooking, we will be doing that from 3 to 6 pm. It is possible to join part of the time.
From 6 to 8pm we are serving food. Donation around 30 kroner. If you are helping out some hours, chopping, cooking or cleaning, you can eat for free.
From 8 to 9 - 9:30 pm we are cleaning up the place.
We hope to see you in our lovely foodclub <3

Product Therapy: It’s Not You, It’s Your Metrics
***This is a small, in-person event with only 40 seats available to keep the discussion focused and high-quality.***
***If the event is fully booked, you’re welcome to join the waitlist.***
***If you sign up and later realise you can’t make it, please cancel your RSVP as early as possible—this helps us offer your spot to someone else.***
**Metrics. Annual planning. OKRs. KPIs.**
Every year, we tell ourselves this time we’ll get it right. And every year, some metrics quietly drift into vanity, others get weaponised, and a few end up ignored entirely.
This edition of Product Therapy is hosted by Planday, and with Sarah and Sigurd, we will create a safe and honest space to discuss annual planning and metrics — without slides, frameworks, or pretending it’s all under control.
We’ll bring together the community for an informal, facilitated afternoon focused on real experiences:
* The metrics that looked great… but meant nothing
* The OKRs that derailed teams instead of aligning them
* The planning rituals we repeat, even though we know better
What to expect
* Welcome drinks, light snacks, and relaxed networking
* Open-floor “hot takes” on metrics
* Small-group discussions using queue cards and prompts, covering topics like:
* Vanity vs. meaningful metrics
* Biggest metric failures (yes, yours too)
* What we should actually measure going into 2026
No experts on stage. No silver bullets.
Just experienced peers, shared struggles, and collective learning.
Talk about "JSInterface"
Patrick Blik will give an engaging talk about JSInterface (working title): A web/server library/framework in the spirit of Datastar: Tacit combinatory logic, reproducible module loader (replacing npm), declarative html fragments with scoped css and js, server-side rendering, data-visualization, and more : )
We have our own room in the back of the restaurant, and will eat together after the talk (obviously optional).

Learn to build Deep Research Agents
Deep research agents, like OpenAI, Gemini, or Claude's deep researchers, are extremely powerful to gather information, surf the web, and compile reports.
It has become a daily habit of mine to spin up multiple deep researchers to help gather knowledge and insights, but how do they work under the hood?
In this talk, we will go through how DR agents evolved, from chain-of-thoughts, STORM, and finally explore the more modern approaches to let AI explore A LOT of information accurately. We will even try to build some of them together!
**Speaker:**
Emil Wåreus - is a spaghetti coder, ML trainer, agent builder, and cat owner. He previously founded Debricked, a security based startup based in Malmö that he exited by acquisition a few years back. He is now building his next ventures, including oaiz.io for AI that builds AI, podidex.com that creates personal podcasts, and valkompass.ai to help voters explore Swedish politics.

Make AI Work for You with MCP - WORKSHOP
Most AI tools answer questions. MCP makes them take action.
Model Context Protocol connects AI assistants to the apps you use daily. Your AI can create Miro boards, update wiki pages, manage roadmaps, and control your browser directly.
This workshop has three stages:
* Explorer – See what's possible. Live demos showing AI that acts, not just answers. No technical background needed.
* Practitioner – Get hands-on. Configure Claude Desktop with MCP servers and start using them in your daily workflow.
* Architect – Build your own. Learn the patterns from four production MCP servers I built in December 2025: Miro (77 tools), MediaWiki, ProductPlan, and GLEIF.
You'll see both cloud integrations (APIs like Miro and GLEIF) and local tools (browser automation, filesystem access). Whether you want to understand the hype, become a power user, or build servers yourself, this workshop is for you.
One hour. All skill levels, from beginners and non-coders to experienced.
**Come curious. Leave inspired and connected.**
**WHAT TO BRING:**
\* Laptop
**HOW DOES IT WORK:**
1. Ask for the area reserved for “TechWomen Cph”.
2. Take a seat at one of the reserved tables.
3. Order and pay for your choice of beverage/snack at the counter.
4. Get back to your table.
5. Start your Laptop.

AI Development Risk Case Studies and how Agentic AI is the future of Appsec
OWASP is ending use of Meetup, so I built an eventbrite for the event.
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ai-development-risk-case-studies-and-how-agentic-ai-is-the-future-of-appsec-tickets-1981450622150?aff=oddtdtcreator
AI is transforming how software is designed, developed, and deployed, dramatically accelerating velocity while introducing new categories of risk. As organizations adopt AI-assisted coding, autonomous agents, and increasingly complex model interactions, traditional application security approaches struggle to keep pace. This talk examines emerging AI-driven risks through real case studies from the field, highlighting issues such as insecure code generation, data-leakage pathways, model manipulation, and evolving supply-chain threats. We will explore how engineering teams must adapt their people, processes, and governance models to secure AI-augmented development workflows effectively. The session will then introduce agentic AI as the next evolution in application security—autonomous systems capable of continuous analysis, multi-step reasoning, and real-time remediation. Attendees will learn how combining agentic AI with modern practices can reduce developer friction, improve coverage, and create a future-ready application security strategy designed for the demands of AI-native software development

Session Abstract
**No Map Required: Geospatial Analytics Directly in Your Data Warehouse**
Think geospatial analysis requires specialized GIS software? Think again. This session introduces you to shapefiles and spatial operations right inside your database—no mapping application required.
We'll demystify shapefiles (what they are, how they work, and where to get them) and show you how nearly every modern database —from DuckDB to Snowflake, supports spatial operations. You'll see practical demos covering spatial joins, distance calculations, and how to determine if two shapes interact with each other.
Whether you're a data engineer optimizing delivery routes, an analyst aggregating metrics by geography, or a BI developer building location-aware dashboards, this session will show you how to unlock powerful spatial capabilities already built into your database stack—no specialized tools required.
\*Please note, that we will be using Microsoft Teams for the online portion of this meeting. You may want to join a few minutes early to ensure you do not have any issues. If you are attending in person, there are large TVs at the office, and you do not need to bring a laptop or use Teams.
