[English version below] Cześć, Mam ogromną przyjemność zaprosić Was na pierwsze spotkanie organizowane wspólnie z łódzkim oddziałem **EPAM**. W planach dwie prezetacje odnośnie AI: **Java RAG: Build Your Own Black Box** oraz **Spring AI**. **Ważna uwaga: spotkanie wyjątkowo zaczyna się o 17:30!** Hi, I’m very happy to invite you to our first meetup, which is being organized in collaboration with the Łódź branch of EPAM. We have two AI-related talks planned: **Java RAG: Build Your Own Black Box** and **Spring AI**. **Important note:** this meetup will **start at 17:30**. **Spring AI** Transforming your existing Java applications into intelligent, AI-driven systems no longer requires a PhD in Data Science or switching to Python. In this session, we explore how Spring AI brings the familiar power of the Spring ecosystem - portability, modularity, and POJO-based design - directly into the world of Artificial Intelligence. We’ll move beyond basic API calls to show how you can harness Large Language Models (LLMs) like OpenAI and Google Gemini using the same @Service and dependency injection patterns you use every day. We will provide an overview of the major capabilities and also dive into the latest Spring AI v2 milestones that position Java at the forefront of the agentic AI wave. By the end of this talk, you’ll see how Spring AI acts as a bridge that allows Java developers to build production-ready, intelligent features without reinventing the wheel. **Dzmitry Sidarenka** Dzmitry has nearly 20 years of experience specializing in systems built with Java. He is passionate about building and testing robust APIs and is known for thriving in high-pressure production incident troubleshooting. His work focuses on designing reliable, maintainable services and improving system resilience through pragmatic engineering practices. **Java RAG: Build Your Own Black Box** Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) often feels like a magical black box. But once you start experimenting with it yourself, it quickly becomes clear how powerful the combination of information retrieval and generative AI can be. Key topics: \- What is Retrieval\-Augmented Generation \(RAG\)? \- Why should you consider using it in your own projects? \- Key RAG components and how the workflow operates \- How to build your own RAG solution using Java \- Live demo of a Java\-based RAG project and ways to extend and improve it **Ahmed Samy** Ahmed is a Senior Software Engineer at EPAM Systems. As he jokes, he often feels like a junior at work - mostly thanks to his constant curiosity and desire to keep learning new things. In his daily work, he actively uses AI as a learning companion, exploring new ideas by experimenting, testing different approaches, and working with various pieces of code. **About the partner** EPAM is a global leader in AI transformation engineering and integrated consulting, serving Forbes Global 2000 companies and ambitious startups. With over thirty years of expertise in custom software, product and platform engineering, EPAM empowers organizations to become AI-native enterprises, driving measurable value from innovation and digital investments.

## Beads: Go Open Source Projects in the Age of AI Hello, 世界! For meetup #58 on Tuesday [Mar 31, 2026 19:00 CET](https://www.meetup.com/leipzig-golang/events/312537698/) we are happy to have [Akim Zmerli](https://www.linkedin.com/in/akimzmerli/) give us an intro to [beads](https://github.com/steveyegge/beads), specifically: > How agents perform long-running tasks and pass context seamlessly to each other. [Beads](https://github.com/steveyegge/beads) is a rising Go project that brings structured planning to any workflow, whether agentic or hands-on. [Akim Zmerli](https://www.linkedin.com/in/akimzmerli/) will present his favorite techniques, TUI projects and what Rob Pike thinks about the current state of affairs. The beads project is less than six months old (2025-10-11), but already well beyond 250 KLOC, with more than 200 KLOC written in Go. We are always interested in developer tools. At [#44](https://golangleipzig.space/posts/meetup-44-wrapup/), less than two years ago, not a single AI coding tool did make it to [our list](https://golangleipzig.space/posts/meetup-44-wrapup/). Looking forward to this foray into the agentic coding space. ### Schedule * 18:45 Doors open * 19:00 Welcome * 19:10 Beads * 19:45 Open discussion We’ll meet: * in person at [Basislager Leipzig](https://basislager.co), at [Peterssteinweg 14, 04107 Leipzig](https://maps.app.goo.gl/1fMkeDSPZ7Aauszh8) ([OSM](https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3504864558)) * and online via [Jitsi](https://meet.jit.si/LeipzigGophers58) Join us to discuss SOTA dev tools and more.

Poziom trudności CTF-owego zadania ustalimy na początku spotkania. Najprawdopodobniej wybierzemy coś z platformy Hack The Box.

**How to take control of your subconscious and harness its power!** Join us for an eye-opening lecture where the speaker will break down complex ideas in a clear and practical way. You’ll gain insights into: ✅ The true definition of the subconscious ✅ How it generates unwanted emotions ✅ Its real purpose and function ✅ What determines the pressure it exerts on you And the most important topic: **How do you take control of your subconscious!** But this isn’t just another lecture where you sit and listen passively. It’s interactive and engaging—you can ask questions at any time. 📅 Reserve your spot now! Seats are limited, so don’t wait too long to sign up. Location: 1266 Dublin Rd, Columbus, OH 43215 Hosted by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!
