It's already the end of April (and yes there have been showers). There are none forecast, but why take chances. Come meet like-minded people with a common interest in Linux in a lively pub at the at the April Linux London Meetup "Oops, it's a late announcement" edition. Whether you are a complete neophyte or Linux warrior with decades of experience, come join the chat about distros, networks, open-source software, personal projects, ... or nothing related whatever. The venue is the Hand & Racquet in Wimbledon (25-27 Wimbledon Hill Rd, SW19 7NE). [https://www.greeneking.co.uk/pubs/greater-london/hand-and-racquet](https://www.greeneking.co.uk/pubs/greater-london/hand-and-racquet) Chris and Gulraj will be sharing hosting duties with at least one of us present at each meetup. Whilst we realise that this venue is not as convenient for some people as our central London former haunts, the pub is only 2 minutes walk from the station, and Wimbledon is exceptionally well connected (only 17 minutes out of London Waterloo mainline, lies on the Sutton branch of the Thameslink, and is a terminus of both the District Line and the Croydon Tramlink). The pub is on the flat, at street level, including the toilets, although the space reserved for us (presently, at least) is a raised mezzanine area up a small number of steps at the back of the pub. We aim to be inclusive, so if this presents an issue, we'll work with the pub to adjust the arrangements in the future. Sign-ups are open. Please come join us. Directions from the station: Exit the station through the main concourse (near the District Line platforms), turn right along the main road, passing the taxi rank on Orinoco Lane. Cross Alexandra Road at the traffic lights, pass the gym on the corner, then continue past the chemist to reach the pub.

Shaping our future with AI. Creating opportunity through AI fluency, connection and community. No jargon. No hype. No confusing terminology. **Join us for our next in-person meetup in London on Wednesday April 22nd.** Our theme for this meetup is **Claude Code For The Rest Of Us.** How do you get those most from tools like Claude Code if you're not a developer? We are talking to knowledge workers, product leaders, consultants and entrepreneurs about how they use Claude Code! **Where and When?** * Wednesday, April 22nd * Doors open at 18:00 * Talks start at 19:00 * 123, Pentonville Rd, London N1 9LG **Talk: I Built A Team Of AI Agents. Here's What They Actually Do** ([Liam Darmody](https://www.linkedin.com/in/liamdarmody/), With Curious Growth) AI agents are revolutionising how we work, but the conversation is too often dominated by software development and coding. What about the rest of us? I'm a product leader who spent a decade managing human teams before building a team of AI agents to run alongside me. In this hands-on, demo-heavy session, I'll take you behind the scenes to show you how I built and manage a custom team of AI agents that handle briefing, research, writing, and meeting analysis. I give one agent a task, it pulls in the right context, and passes the work to whichever specialist agent is best suited. This isn't a theoretical talk or a product pitch. It's a practical walkthrough of what works, what doesn't, and what I've learned about designing AI agents that actually do useful work. Whether you're a founder, a strategist, or a knowledge worker looking to scale your output, you'll leave with actionable ideas on how to treat AI not as a single tool, but as a capable team working alongside you. **About Liam:** I help senior product and engineering leaders fix the real reason teams fail. Misalignment. Through executive coaching, product advisory and strategic facilitation, I support leaders to rebuild clarity, alignment and momentum so their teams perform at their best without burning out. **Panel: Getting Started With Claude Code** This is a real "for the rest of us" event. In this panel we'll be digging into the ways ANYONE can get to grips with tools like Claude Code. Liam will be joined by Maebh Booth and Miguel Luna who have been using Claude Code outside of software development to help them save time and make better decisions. **About Maebh:** Maebh Booth is a senior engineering leader focused on platform, developer experience, and the practical realities of AI across the full development lifecycle, currently working independently to help engineering organisations adopt it in a way that actually delivers value. Maebh doesn’t just use AI at work she’s also created a team of agents to help organise her life, as well as fun projects like a cocktail making app and a geneology research web app. **About Miguel:** Miguel is a Product Leader focused on Cloud Native observability, systems thinking, and practical use of AI with search context. Miguel has recently been rethinking the product role completely to get the most from LLMs including tools for cohort retention and funnel analyses, customer health signals, churn prediction, writing PRDs and one-pagers. **Thanks!** We'd like to thank our sponsors Leapter and AutogenAI for making this event possible.

Data Engineers London will be at London's new and exciting conference, [Data Decoded](https://datadecoded.com/ldn) 🎉 After Data Decoded finishes, the data fun continues into the evening at the Olympia in Kensington. **Please subscribe to this event by registering to attend the Data Decoded conference ([link](https://datadecoded.com/)) NOT on Meetup.** **5:30pm:** Gathering at the Data Governance, Risk & Compliance Theatre. **5:45pm:** Talks Start 🗣️The Speakers🗣️ **The API-fication of Data Engineering with Data Contracts** ***Samhita Sarkar, Data Engineering Tech Lead at HP Inc*** ***([Samhita's LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/samhitasarkar/))*** ***Talk Abstract:*** Traditional data engineering is often reactive, relying on fragile pipelines that break whenever upstream software changes. By adopting Data Contracts, teams can shift toward a formal, versioned interface modelled after software APIs. This architectural evolution treats data as a public product, ensuring stability and ending the cycle of constant firefighting. ***Samhita's Bio:*** Samhita is a Data Engineering Tech Lead at HP Inc, having worked across diverse domains including marketing, supply chain and insurance in her career. Samhita is passionate about empowering others having mentored over 100 individuals, guiding them to navigate the career path in data engineering. **A data platform: The one we planned and the one we ended up with.** ***Luke Ashe-Browne, Co-Founder and Director of Technology & Consulting at Tyme Technologies ([Luke's LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lukeab/))*** ***Talk Abstract:*** Most data platform talks describe the version on the whiteboard. This one is about the version that arrives afterwards, once the design has met scale, delivery pressure, and the people who have to operate it. Drawing on a recent build for a multi-brand European e-commerce group, it walks through where the gap between planned and actual tends to open up, why it usually widens before it closes, and the kinds of decisions that bring a platform back into shape. This talk offers a view from the honest middle, rather than another greenfield case study. ***Luke's Bio:*** Luke Ashe-Browne is Co-Founder and Director of Technology and Consulting at TYME Technologies, advising businesses and engineering leaders on strategic data platforms, platform engineering, AI and digital delivery programmes. Over 25 years he has led data platform, Cloud, SRE and Kubernetes programmes for clients spanning finance, retail, media, public sector and regulated institutions. **7:30pm:** End of event. **Important Information About The Event:** **👉Please subscribe to this event by registering to attend the Data Decoded conference ([link](https://datadecoded.com/)).** 👉There will be no food & drinks provided at the theatre BUT the organisers are providing us with tickets to their afterparty at the Hilton Olympia.
