Hi all! 🙂 It's BBQ time again! With a warm 36°C we figured we'd return to our regular spot in Wilhelminapark for the first language cafe BBQ of the season! We'll provide a BBQ or two, so please bring your own food to put on there, drinks, blankets, cutlery, maybe another BBQ, and anything else that you might need! See you there, in Wilhelminapark at 19:00! [https://maps.app.goo.gl/jheBHQ8QDvW4pYFk9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/jheBHQ8QDvW4pYFk9) In case you are not in our language cafe database yet, please use this form: [http://goo.gl/forms/oSCn9Dn8m8](http://goo.gl/forms/oSCn9Dn8m8) If you're joining us for the first time, just drop by to the Wilhelminapark this time and have fun! Note that our usual Wednesdays are in the Café Marktzicht. We will not organize any language groups in the park, but most people will speak English and Dutch.

Join our first meetup on 24 June 2026. **Program:** 17:00 – 18:00 Walk-in + Dinner 18:00 – 18:45 Zero Trust: Applying Military Procedures to Cybersecurity Challenges - by Laurens Blankers (JDriven) 18:45 – 18:55 Break 18:55 – 19:40 Let's use Spring Boot to build games, because why not? - by Alexander Chatzizacharias (JDriven) 19:40 – 20:00 Practical AI Developer Setup Demo (by Alexander Chatzizacharias) — Learn how to integrate AI tools into your daily development workflow + Giveaway: **Win a 1-month Claude Code MAX subscription (worth €100)** 20:00 – 21:00 Networking Drinks About the talks: **Let's use Spring Boot to build games, because why not?** **Alexander Chatzizacharias - JDriven** If you work on enterprise grade microservices on the JVM, you have undoubtedly heard of Spring Boot. Most developers see it as the reliable backbone of enterprise software. It is stable, predictable, and safe. But what if we took all those conventions and threw them out the window? What if we repurposed the IoC container, event listeners, and bean lifecycles to reveal what Spring Boot was always meant to be? A game development framework! Join Alexander as he attempts to deconstruct and demystify the Spring ecosystem by forcing it to do things it was definitely not designed for. We are not talking about simple text adventures here. We are talking about building complex, real-time games like a Terraria clone or a souls-like RPG, all powered by the same annotations you use for your day job. This session explores what happens when you learn technologies by breaking them. Whether you are a Spring veteran or a newcomer, this talk offers a fresh perspective on the tools you use every day. You will leave with a better understanding of how Spring Boot works under the hood and the inspiration to build something completely unnecessary, just because you can. Come for the absurdity, stay for the laughs, and see what happens when you strip away conventions and best practices in the pursuit of a wild idea. **Zero Trust: Applying Military Procedures to Cybersecurity Challenges** **Laurens Blankers - JDriven** Cybersecurity is becoming more and more challenging. A lot of ‘new’ solutions are being proposed, including Zero Trust. Although, if you really drill down to the core, Zero Trust proposes a way of working which has been standard in military organisations around the world for over 80 years. Join me in breaking down Zero Trust into a number of easily understood principles including a number of approaches which can be applied to your software today. Laurens is a Java Software Engineer with over 20 years of experience. He excels at extracting the bigger picture and applying this to the smallest details. He combines this theoretical knowledge with his vast practical experience and hands-on mentality. Laurens has significant experience with a number of Java based platforms, including Jakarta EE and Spring (Boot). Ranging from REST microservices in the cloud to applications for controlling custom hardware on the desktop. In his personal life Laurens enjoys Science Fiction, board games, and history of technology. **Practical AI Developer Setup Demo** **Alexander Chatzizacharias - JDriven** After the talks, Alexander will give a live demonstration of his AI-powered development setup and workflow. Discover how modern AI tools can help you write code faster, improve productivity, automate repetitive tasks, and accelerate learning. You'll get a practical look at the tools, techniques, and workflows that developers are using today to get the most out of AI. At the end of the demo, we'll hold a giveaway where one attendee will **win a** **1-month Claude Code MAX subscription (worth €100)**.

*(🇬🇧 English below)* Voordat een bordspel of kaartspel kan worden uitgegeven, moet er veel aan het spel getest worden om zeker te zijn dat het leuk is, duidelijk is en altijd goed werkt. Daarom komen we **elke 2 weken** met spelauteurs uit de regio samen om prototypes van spellen te testen en ze zo beter te maken en misschien ooit wel gepubliceerd te krijgen. Om 8 uur verzamelen we bij [StartUp Nijmegen](https://startupnijmegen.nl/) voor een speltestavond. Afhankelijk van het aantal aanwezigen en prototypes dat er wordt meegenomen (neem zelf ook iets mee als je wilt) vormen we een aantal groepen. Bij kleinere spellen kun je in de loop van de avond van groep wisselen, bij grotere spellen moet je dat even overleggen. **Ook als je zelf** **geen spellen maakt** of een spel hebt dat je wilt testen, ben je natuurlijk van harte welkom. Het is voor ontwerpers heel fijn om de mening van zo veel mogelijk andere mensen te krijgen. En heel eerlijk: het testen van nieuwe spellen is ook gewoon heel leuk! We gaan door tot een uur of 11, maar voel je vrij al eerder naar huis te gaan. Er is **gratis koffie** **en thee** bij StartUp Nijmegen. Voor fris, bier of wijn wordt een kleine bijdrage gevraagd. StartUp Nijmegen ligt tegenover het station. De auto kun je parkeren in de naastgelegen Keizer Karelparkeergarage (50 cent per uur). Er is hier ook een afgesloten fietsenstalling.

Therefore, **every 2 weeks**, we gather with game authors from the region to test prototypes of games, thereby improving them and, perhaps, getting them published someday. At 8 PM, we gather at [StartUp Nijmegen](https://startupnijmegen.nl/) for a game testing evening. Depending on the number of attendees and prototypes brought (feel free to bring something yourself), we form several groups. For smaller games, you can switch groups throughout the evening, but for larger games, you should discuss this. **Even if you** **do not design games** or have a game you want to test, you are, of course, very welcome. It is very beneficial for designers to receive feedback from as many people as possible. And to be honest: testing new games is just a lot of fun! We continue until about 11 PM, but feel free to go home earlier if you wish. There is **free coffee** **and tea** at StartUp Nijmegen. You can park your car in the adjacent Keizer Karel parking garage (50 cents per hour). There is also a secure bicycle parking facility here.

**ArnhemJUG** We are excited to announce that we are welcomed by TenneT for the June meetup. Please note that TenneT **requires** all visitors to present a **valid ID** upon entry and that we must provide a list of attendees in advance. For this reason, **we need your full name** as it appears on your ID. If your Meetup username is different from your real name, we'll get in touch before the event to confirm the name on your ID. Also note that we start 10 minutes earlier than normal, the first talk will start at 18:20 **Agenda** * 17:00 CET walk-in * 17:30 – 18:20 Food and drinks * 18:20 – 19:10 talk: **How we develop and maintain our (12 year old) DDD app** by **Dan Haywood** * 19:10 – 19:30 break * 19:30 – 20:20 talk: **AI augmented teams: from tab complete to AI workforce** by **Radek Kowalski** * 20:20– 20:45 drinks **How we develop and maintain our (12 year old) DDD app** We’re a small team (about 2.5 FTEs) but we develop and maintain a big app - it processes €500m invoices in turnover each year, for a €4bn company that owns and operates shopping centres throughout Europe. And it’s a DDD app too … it’s our focus on the domain that allows us to do a lot with, well, not much. In this talk we’ll try to explain our way of doing things, some of which might be obvious and you’ll know, some of which could be a bit more contentious or surprising. The technology may intrigue you, but the mindset is just as important. **About Dan Haywood** Dan Haywood is an independent consultant based in the UK, an ASF member and committer to Apache Causeway. He spends his days either cutting code or advising governments. **AI augmented teams: from tab complete to AI workforce** Ten months ago, when Radek and his team launched their project under a tight deadline and limited budget, it seemed nearly impossible. Fortunately, it was 2025—and agentic coding tools were ready to help. The team embraced these tools as a lifeline, developing a workflow where engineers and AI agents built software side by side. The result: delivery ahead of schedule and within budget. In this talk, Radek shares how the team’s approach evolved, the practical strategies they developed, and the lessons they learned to overcome constraints in time and cost. **About Radek Kowalski** Over a 20+ year career in IT, Radek has grown from software engineer to architect to senior leader—before returning to the trenches to embrace the AI revolution and shape it firsthand. In the past year, he has helped organizations and engineering teams embed AI into both their business and daily workflows.

Ongeveer eens per maand is er een Bitcoin Meetup in Arnhem. Dit keer met een presentatie en Q&A van Hester Bais. Zie ook de promo video: [https://www.arnhembitcoinstad.nl/media/2026-06-26-MeetupHesterBais/PromoMeetupHesterBais.mp4](https://www.arnhembitcoinstad.nl/media/2026-06-26-MeetupHesterBais/PromoMeetupHesterBais.mp4) Sinds 2014 dringt de Nederlandse advocaat en klokkenluider Hester Bais er bij de autoriteiten op aan om een grootschalige internationale bankfraude in OTC-derivaten en constructies met onderpand en lege entiteiten stop te zetten. Door hun handelswijze raakten banken in Nederland voor ongeveer €200 miljard, in Duitsland voor €400 miljard, in Frankrijk voor €320 miljard, en in het Verenigd Koninkrijk voor €300 miljard onder water met betrekking tot het onderpand—en mondiaal gaat het om biljoenen euro’s. Samen met Wink Sabée schreef Hester het boek Worst Bank Scenario, waarin in detail wordt beschreven hoe “Bretton Woods 2.0” wordt uitgerold.

Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces. PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for DINNER from 4:30 to 6:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 4:20pm and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking are available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details: IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to those volunteering at this (or any of our previous or future) CMG Gives Back events! Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Here is the secret of being positive and free: Thinking positively is not enough. You also have to get rid of the negative thinking. Your mind is like a garden. You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden. A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed. You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there. So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out! The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in life.
