**Hello, fellow DevOps enthusiasts 🤓** On **April 28th**, we'll meet again for a couple of insightful talks, hosted by **[ERNI](https://www.betterask.erni/es-es/)**! 📍**Location**: El Triangle\, Pl\. de Catalunya\, 1\-4\, 3º planta\, Barcelona \| [https://maps.app.goo.gl/o6PfJFXRxhYPWSwr7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/o6PfJFXRxhYPWSwr7) \-\-\-\-\-\- 📅 **Agenda** * **18:30 - 18:40** Welcome from the hosts * **18:45 - 19:30** Proxmox HCS (Home Cloud Services) * **19:30 - 20:15** FinOps from Code: Controlling Cloud Costs with Terraform and Infracost * **20:15 - 21:00** Networking & Snacks \-\-\-\-\-\- **🎤 Talks & Speakers** * **Title: "Proxmox HCS (Home Cloud Services)"** * **Speaker**: [Oliana Cintas](https://www.linkedin.com/in/oliana-cintas-grau-7a393a160/) - *Senior IT consultant at [ERNI](https://www.betterask.erni/es-es/).* * **Duration**: 30-45 mins * **Abstract**: In this session, Oliana will demonstrate how to use the open-source platform Proxmox to build a personal data center or "HomeLab" for less than 250€. We will walk through a real-world scenario: deploying a frontend web app using a fully automated CI/CD pipeline. You’ll learn how to integrate GitLab, LXC containers, and Terraform to mirror professional environments right from your living room. Stepping into a specialized, high-stakes role can be intimidating—especially when mistakes are costly. DevOps is the perfect example: the "barrier to entry" often feels like it requires a massive enterprise budget just to practice. But is it possible to master production-grade DevOps without breaking the bank? * **About**: Oliana Cintas is a Maker with over 8 years of experience in the automotive sector. He is the former co-owner of a non-profit maker association and an app startup. *** * **Title: "FinOps from Code: Controlling Cloud Costs with Terraform and Infracost"** * **Speaker**: [Julia Lamenza](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jlamenza/) - *Senior SRE & Cloud Architect - Consultant* * **Duration**: 30-45 mins * **Abstract**: Cloud costs often become visible only after deployment. In fast-moving environments, engineering teams can unintentionally introduce expensive infrastructure changes with every pull request. This talk explores how to shift left cost awareness by embedding FinOps directly into the development workflow. Using Terraform and Infracost, we can bring real-time cost estimation into pull requests, enabling engineers to understand the financial impact of their changes before deployment. * **About**: Site Reliability Engineer with 13+ years of experience building and operating scalable infrastructure across cloud and hybrid environments. Outside of work, she enjoys speaking at tech events, exploring new places, and building connections within the community. \-\-\-\-\-\- 🔑 **Important Access Note** Our host requires the attendees to provide their ID to grant us access to their offices. **Do not forget to fill in the "NIF - NIE - Passport - email" field** when registering!

**UX Hub** is thrilled to welcome you to an event hosted by [Docplanner](https://www.docplanner.com) at their beautiful office in Poblenou, in the heart of Barcelona's innovation district. **Hope in the Age of AI: How Your Design System Just Might Save You** As AI accelerates the pace of production, the fear of being "out-paced" is real. But designers already hold the key to the future: the Design System. Far from just a library of components, a robust Design System sits at the critical intersection of design and code—the exact language AI speaks. In this talk, we’ll explore why the foundations you’ve already built are the ultimate launchpad for AI-driven scale and speed. Learn how to pivot your design system from a static resource into an automated engine, ensuring that as we scale at the speed of light, Design remains the pilot, not just a passenger. **Speaker** [Nikki Plyem](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikkiplyem/) is Design Manager of Product Platform at Docplanner. With over 15 years in the design industry, Nikki leads the design in the Product Platform team at Docplanner, where she focuses on building the systems and services that allow design to scale globally. Her career spans award-winning agencies and high-growth Fintech, but her unique approach to design systems is rooted in her earlier life in New York City. Before pivoting to design, Nikki spent years as a professional improviser with a background in Theater and Sociology—disciplines that taught her how to navigate complex human systems and collaborate in real-time. **Hosts** This event is hosted by [Docplanner](https://www.docplanner.com), a global healthcare platform focused on making access to care simpler, from discovery to booking.

Music has always shaped human emotion. Long before streaming platforms, people understood that music could influence the way we feel, think, and interpret the world. What is new is the scale, speed and precision with which artificial intelligence is beginning to intervene in that relationship. **[TICKETS MUST BE PURCHASED HERE VIA LUMA - FROM 9 EUROS](https://luma.com/snz5y934?UTM-SOURCE-MEETUP)** ​In this Growth Lab LIVE session, hosted by composer and AI educator Rafel Jaume I Venys, we explore how AI-driven systems, from recommendation engines to generative music platforms, are learning to analyse emotional patterns, predict responses and create feedback loops in which feeling becomes data, and data becomes influence. ​As these systems become more sophisticated, music is no longer just something we choose or consume. It is increasingly something shaped around us indvidually, designed to hold attention, steer mood and optimise emotional response. ​Drawing on the myth of Orpheus, this session examines the rise of an algorithmic orchestra: a new technological force capable of conducting human emotion without ever experiencing it. The question is no longer whether AI can compose music, but what it means to live in a world where the systems shaping our inner lives may understand our responses better than we do ourselves. ​About the speaker: ​​**Rafel Jaume i Venys** is a composer, philosopher, and educator working at the crossroads of music, AI, and ethics. He’s the founder of **CAIRAI**, a consultancy focused on AI, education, and social impact, and lectures at several universities. His work bridges critical thinking and creative practice, helping individuals and organizations harness AI in ways that are both innovative and humane.

**Bueno, bueno, bueno…¡primer evento ON**! 🎉 (english version below) Estamos encantados de poder anunciar para el próximo 29 de abril el primer evento de **Claude for Everyone Barcelona**. Arrancamos con muchas ganas y mucha ilusión por poder crear un punto de encuentro para compartir, conectar, intercambiar ideas y explorar juntos lo que hay y lo que viene dentro del campo de la inteligencia artificial. Queremos dar mil gracias a nuestro anfitrión, 🙌 **Plain Concepts** 🙌, por facilitarnos el espacio, snacks y refrescos en esta ocasión tan especial! #**Love** 📅 **29 de abril** \| Apertura de puertas a las 18:00h\, empezamos a las 18:15h 📍 **Plain Concepts** \- Carrer del Comte d'Urgell\, 240\, 6B\, Eixample\, 08036 Barcelona **Agenda** ➡️ 18:00 - 18:15 — Check-in 🏢 18:15 - 18:30 — Presentación de nuestro anfitrión y de la comunidad 🎤 18:30 - 19:15 — *De cero a Jazzucrist: O cómo la IA me salvó de ver otra serie mala en Netflix*, por Manel Vericat 🎤 19:15 - 20:00 — *El efecto AI-Express: lo que pediste vs lo que te llega* , por Maite Malavia 🧃 20:00 - 21:00 — Networking \*\*\* 🎙️ **Charlas** **De cero a Jazzucrist: O cómo la IA me salvó de ver otra serie mala en Netflix** ¿Qué pasa cuando una idea que hace años era técnica y económicamente imposible se cruza con la tecnología de hoy? En esta charla exploraremos cómo la Inteligencia Artificial ha cambiado las reglas del juego para los creadores individuales. A través del caso real de Jazzucrist —un proyecto completo construido desde cero por una sola persona integrando un stack profesional, demostraremos que el límite ya no es el código, el equipo ni el presupuesto, sino nuestra propia ambición. Lo que antes requería agencias enteras y meses de desarrollo, hoy es una realidad tangible. La IA nos da el poder de construir lo que imaginemos. El futuro ya no se parece en nada a lo que pensábamos ayer. La pregunta es: ¿Sigues prefiriendo una mala serie Netflix o llevar a cabo tu proyecto? *Por Manel Vericat, AI & Data Trainning Specialist* \*\*\* **El efecto AI-Express: lo que pediste vs lo que te llega** Esta charla es un recorrido por la brecha entre las expectativas que se generan, LinkedIn mediante, alrededor de la IA y los resultados que vemos en el día a día de muchas organizaciones. Con un enfoque directo y con algo de humor, hablaremos sobre esa narrativa de la “transformación IA” como un cohete mágico impulsado por datos perfectos y slides brillantes. También hablaremos sobre aquello que frena las iniciativas y qué diferencia a los equipos que sí están aprovechando la IA para generar impacto y construir valor de verdad. En resumen: una mirada honesta a lo que hay detrás del hype mediático y a lo que realmente funciona a día de hoy. *Por Maite Malavia, AI Trainning Consultant & Solutions Architect* \*\*\* ⚠️ El aforo es de **60 plazas**. Te recomendamos reservar la tuya cuanto antes. Si finalmente no puedes asistir, por favor avísanos con antelación para liberar tu plaza. **¡No te lo pierdas, te esperamos**! 🎉 \-\-\-\- **Well, well, well… first event ON!** 🎉 We’re excited to announce the very first **Claude for Everyone Barcelona** event, happening on April 29. We’re kicking things off with lots of enthusiasm and excitement to create a space where we can share, connect, exchange ideas, and explore together what’s happening — and what’s coming — in the field of artificial intelligence. We also want to give a huge thank you to our host, 🙌 **Plain Concepts** 🙌, for providing the venue, snacks, and refreshments on this special occasion! #Love 📅 **April 29th** \| Doors open at 18:00\, we start at 18:15 📍 **Plain Concepts** – Carrer del Comte d'Urgell, 240, 6B, Eixample, 08036 Barcelona **Agenda** ➡️ 18:00 - 18:15 — Check-in 🏢 18:15 - 18:30 — Host and community introduction 🎤 18:30 - 19:15 — *From zero to Jazzucrist: Or how AI saved me from watching another bad Netflix show*, by Manel Vericat 🎤 19:15 - 20:00 — *The AI-Express effect: what you asked for vs. what you actually get*, by Maite Malavia 🧃 20:00 - 21:00 — Networking *** 🎙️ **Talks** **From zero to Jazzucrist: Or how AI saved me from watching another bad Netflix show** What happens when an idea that was once technically and economically impossible meets today’s technology? In this talk, we’ll explore how Artificial Intelligence has changed the game for individual creators. Through the real case of Jazzucrist — a full project built from scratch by a single person using a professional-grade stack — we’ll show that the limits are no longer code, team, or budget, but our own ambition. What once required entire agencies and months of development is now a tangible reality. AI gives us the power to build whatever we can imagine. The future no longer looks anything like what we thought yesterday. The question is: do you still prefer a bad Netflix show, or are you ready to build your own project? *By Manel Vericat, AI & Data Training Specialis*t *** **The AI-Express effect: what you asked for vs. what you actually get** This talk explores the gap between the expectations created — often via LinkedIn — around AI, and the results we actually see in many organizations’ day-to-day operations. With a direct approach and a touch of humor, we’ll talk about the narrative of “AI transformation” as a magical rocket powered by perfect data and shiny slides. We’ll also look at what slows initiatives down and what sets apart the teams that are truly leveraging AI to create real impact and value. In short: an honest look behind the hype and what actually works today. *By Maite Malavia, AI Training Consultant & Solutions Architect* *** ⚠️ Capacity is limited to **60 spots**.

A very unusual choice for his group... Unknown Number: High School Catfish is an American [true crime](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_crime "True crime") documentary film directed by [Skye Borgman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skye_Borgman "Skye Borgman") and released to [streaming](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_media "Streaming media") on [Netflix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netflix "Netflix") on August 29, 2025. The documentary explores the events and investigation into an unknown person [cyberbully](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberbullying "Cyberbullying") and [harassing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harassment "Harassment") teenagers in [Beal City, Michigan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beal_City,_Michigan "Beal City, Michigan") using an unknown number via insults and sexual claims. It also explores the increasingly great impact of the harassment on the community, the eventual reveal of the culprit, and the trial that followed. IMPORTANT INFO: I strongly suggest not reading anything about it online before seeing it. It's best viewed with no previous knowledge. This documentary contains crude terminology and deals with cyberbullying, which may be a trigger for some folks. PLEASE NOTE - WE ARE STARTING AT 6:30, WHICH IS THIRTY MINUTES EARLIER THAN USUAL. Unfortunately, it is only available on Netflix. If you would like to attend but do not have Netflix, say so and maybe we can figure something out.
