Django London Meetup April
April Edition ✨✨!
We will be at Kraken Tech (Octopus Energy Group), London office!
(in-person only event, no streaming)
**Talks:**
**Digitising Historical Caving Data with Django** - *Andrew Northall*
Building an automated pipeline with Django which can extract, structure and publish 2,700+ historical printed reports from scanned PDF copies.
*Andrew Northall* is a Python & Django specialist who maintains several open source Django projects/services for the caving and amateur radio communities.
**llms.txt for Django: what works** - *Thibaud Colas*
The llms.txt format is an emerging standard to structure information for Large Language Models. It’s a desirable addition to the docs of Python packages.
Let’s review how to adopt it! We’ll discuss the fundamentals of the format and its benefits as a user of the docs, and as a maintainer. How to produce and consume those files across different tools (Sphinx, mkdocs, Django). How to optimize them for different LLMs with an eval suite. Tools and techniques you should be able to reuse through other engineering tasks with LLMs.
*Thibaud Colas* works at Torchbox as developer, core contributor to the Wagtail CMS build on Django.

A software engineers guide to LLMs
**A software engineers guide to LLMs**
In this talk Richard Conway will break down what LLMs are layer by layer, how they work, how they use software principles to work and how to use them in software.
This will be a fluid talk with a lot of philosophy, maths from school and how to build your software understanding things like hallucinations and new techniques that can make your management of LLMs more deterministic.
We'll consider a lot of things here including the new code generation tools which have developers quivering in their boots, what they mean for our industry and how to use them for effect.
Lots of mini-demos and great discussions, good people, beer and pizza!
**About the speaker**
Richard Conway co-founded the user group, along with Andy Cross, Joe Hancock and Chris Parsons. He is a Microsoft AI MVP and a Microsoft Regional Director and has been writing software in one form or another since his fingers were large enough to hit a ZX81 keyboard.

Software Development Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
Agents building systems. Humans orchestrating them.
Agents are writing code, running workflows, and building other agents.
The challenge isn’t basic functionality. It’s getting these systems to operate predictably in production, and integrating them into how teams build and ship software.
This session covers both.
From a production lens: how to build agentic systems using spec-driven development, structured context, and evaluation loops that hold up at scale.
From a human lens: what breaks when agents become collaborators. Ownership, coordination, and how teams actually adapt.
Speakers:
**Clifton Cunningham**
**Member of Technical Staff, [guidemode.dev](https://guidemode.dev/?utm_source=luma) \| Former CTO at DailyMail\, Infinitas Learning\, TES Global**
Clifton will explore what happens when AI agents become part of your team. Drawing on experience leading large-scale engineering organisations, he’ll unpack the human, cultural, and operational challenges of working alongside AI colleagues.
**Alfonso Graziano**
**AI Tech Lead\, Nearform \| Author of *AI-Native Software Engineering***
Alfonso will walk through how to build agents that build and maintain other agents. A practical, production-focused session covering spec-driven development, context engineering, evaluation loops, and how to make agentic systems reliable at scale.
Join us for pizza, drinks, and practical AI insights.

April 2026 Meetup
Elixir London Meetup; February 2026 edition. All are welcome.
**Session 1: Anton Borisov - Distilling Kafka's Binary Protocol into Elixir**
We'll trace a produce request to show what any Kafka client has to get right. In the BEAM ecosystem, erlkaf wraps librdkafka, brod implements the protocol in Erlang, and [kafka_ex](https://hex.pm/packages/kafka_ex) goes pure Elixir.
Kafka_ex's approach is to generate serializers at compile time from Kafka's own schema definitions: plain structs, pattern matching, structural boilerplate isolated from the logic you actually think about. That design is what let us jump two major versions ahead and adapt to significant protocol changes. Let's dig into the idea, the code, and the tradeoffs.
**Session 2: Evadne Wu** **\- JavaScript Execution Strategies in Elixir\-based Agent Frameworks**
We'll look at integration points between elixir agents (in the AI fashion) and JavaScript execution, and all the foot guns involved.
*The event is kindly sponsored by* [Fresha](https://www.fresha.com).
**Time**
Doors open at 18, start at 18.30.
**Venue**
Fresha
The Bower, 207-211, Old St, Tower, London EC1V 9NR
**Refreshments**
Food and drinks will be provisioned on the day.

**If you wish to take photos and post online during the event, please notify organisers first, so that attendees can opt-out from being in photos.**
In Person: CoffeeOps
We are back! This is going to be a monthly IN PERSON meet up in London.
A very big thank you goes to Accurx who is hosting us in their amazing Shoreditch offices. This will include access to facilities including coffee! 😻☕️
**Want to know more? 👇**
As with all CoffeeOps, this is an interactive, chatty, build your own adventure type of meet-up. Instead of booking in experts to *learn* *from*, we gather a group of practitioners to ***learn*** ***with***. We have been running for over 4 years now and often get feedback that this is the most useful meetup people join!
The event is approximately 90 minutes and always starts by brainstorming topics to discuss. The group then votes on the most relevant/interesting to them and we then cycle through the topics trying to discuss each deeply, but in a time bound slot.
To get an idea of topics, you can check out our remote board [here](https://easyretro.io/publicboard/h404NF84Uje4tCcxpJdHr4Ycs9B3/a4a35d2b-181b-409b-832e-a729be1af79c). The general gist is anything is fair game, though we tend to revolve around software delivery and definitely lean towards the more Ops-y or DevOps-y side of things.
LJC Meet-up at Tessl - Java and Gen AI: JVM Agents With Embabel
**Please register on [Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ljc-meet-up-at-tessl-java-and-gen-ai-jvm-agents-with-embabel-tickets-1985712292922) to join in-person.**
**About this event**
vJUG Connect is teaming up with the London Java Community for a special evening exploring the future of Java in the age of Generative AI.
Join us both online and in London for a deep dive into how JVM developers can lead the next wave of innovation with agent-based systems. We’re excited to host Rod Johnson, creator of Spring, as he introduces Embabel, a new framework designed to push Java and Kotlin to the forefront of agentic AI.
From building safe, testable, and enterprise-ready AI agents to rethinking how Java fits into the Gen AI ecosystem, this session will give you a front-row seat to what’s next.
Whether you join us virtually or in person at Tessl HQ, expect an evening of cutting-edge ideas, practical insights, and great conversations with the Java community.

8pm – Networking
9pm – Wrap-up
**Java and Gen AI: JVM Agents With Embabel by Rod Johnson (Spring Creator)**
Since the emergence of Gen AI, it's become obvious that agents will be a big part of our future as both technologists and citizens. Building predictable, safe, manageable, testable agents that integrate with existing enterprise systems is critically important to us all.
In this session, Rod Johnson will show how JVM developers can be central to unlocking the business value of agentic AI, using the Embabel agent framework: [https://github.com/embabel/embabel-agent](https://github.com/embabel/embabel-agent)
Embabel is an innovative framework for Java and Kotlin developers, seamlessly integrated with Spring. Built in Kotlin, it aims not to play catchup with Python frameworks like Crew AI, but to leapfrog them to be the best agent framework, period.
Embabel innovates in several ways. It introduces a planning step that maximizes autonomy while maintaining determinism and safety. It is type safe, ensuring excellent toolability and avoiding errors in prompts. It enables developers to use a rich domain model, defining not just types but behavior exposed to user code and to LLMs as tools.

Hidden Failure Modes of AI Agents
**Join us for a joint meetup with our friends from Qodo and Tessl**
AI coding agents are increasingly embedded in production workflows, but their failure modes are often poorly understood, difficult to detect, and even harder to evaluate systematically.
This session examines how agent-based systems degrade under real-world conditions, focusing on three critical dimensions: reliability, code quality, and security. We’ll look at where current evaluation approaches fall short, how non-determinism and context drift impact correctness, and why seemingly “successful” generations can still introduce latent defects or vulnerabilities.
If you’re building, evaluating, or deploying AI agents in production systems, this session will provide a grounded view of where they fail and what it takes to make them robust
**Agenda**
* 6:00pm Venue opens
* Join us for Drinks and Pizza!
* 6:30pm **Hidden Failure Modes for AI Agents** by Nupur Sharma
* 6:50pm Panel Discussion

**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.
