Hosted By Velizar Borisov, Atlassian Administrator Boriana Todorova, Community Leader I'm a senior technology leader with 20+ years of experience in quality assurance, process improvement, project delivery, and organizational transformation. I specialize in building high-performing teams, and bridging the gap between business goals and tech execution. My mission is simple: I help systems and people work better — starting with myself, and never stopping at “good enough.” I thrive where complexity meets urgency — whether it's redesigning inefficient workflows, elevating engineering culture, or aligning delivery with long-term value. I bring a strong foundation in internal auditing practices, ensuring that systems are not only efficient but also aligned with key compliance and quality standards like ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 — without losing sight of the human side of work. I’ve also developed a strong interest in artificial intelligence — not just as a tool, but as a transformational force. I’m exploring how AI can enhance quality, automate the right parts of work, and help us build more adaptive, intelligent systems that serve both business and society responsibly. I believe the future of tech depends not just on innovation, but on responsibility, empathy, and structure that serves both people and planet.

Welcome to the majestic Rila Mountains – the highest and most breathtaking range in the entire Balkan peninsula. Dotted with glacial lakes, icy waterfalls, and soaring summits, Rila is a place of raw, untamed beauty just waiting to be explored. On this snowshoeing journey, we will immerse ourselves in the serenity of this unique landscape. Wander through deep conifer forests, marvel at frozen waterfalls and explore the mystical Seven Rila Lakes - a cluster of glacial jewels nestled high in the mountains. With an experienced guide leading the way, we’ll learn snowshoeing techniques while embracing the tranquility of nature, punctuated only by the crunch of snow beneath our feet in this crisp and awe inspiring landscape. Join us and walk in the footsteps of ancient Thracians who first named these mountains, experiencing a landscape that has remained largely unchanged for thousands of years! **HIGHLIGHTS** • Just 2 days off work for a 3-night winter escape • No winter mountain experience required - perfect for anyone who has never snowshoed before • Marvel at the frozen cascades of Skakavitsa Waterfall, the highest in the Rila Mountains at 1,750m • Snowshoe across the vast Rila National Park – Europe's sixth-highest mountain range and Bulgaria's most spectacular winter wilderness, covered in snow from October to April/May • Hike past the frozen glacial Seven Rila Lakes, each with its own legendary story • Learn snowshoeing with experienced English-speaking local guide/s. • Discover Sofia’s vibrant history and culture, from Roman ruins to modern boulevards. • Small group adventure, limited to just 8 participants • Stay in cozy hotels - with twin bedded en suite rooms • Rest in the mountain resort of Panichishte at 1,350 meters offering breathtaking views of Rila National Park • Flexible itinerary: Relax at a mineral spa if weather impacts hiking plans **HOLIDAY DESCRIPTION** The Rila Mountains – Bulgaria’s crown jewel and the sixth-highest mountain range in Europe – offer a winter landscape unlike any other. Glacial peaks, icy cascades, and centuries-old pine forests create a serene and otherworldly setting for our adventure. On this trip, we’ll snowshoe across spectacular, crisp snowy trails in Rila National Park, where ancient legends and breathtaking scenery converge. Admire frozen waterfalls tumbling from rugged cliffs, traverse snowy ridges with panoramic views, and discover the mystical Seven Rila Lakes, frozen into a shimmering wonderland. Guided by an experienced local mountain guide, we’ll learn to snowshoe with confidence while soaking in snow-covered wilderness and the peaceful stillness of winter. Our frozen magic concludes in Sofia, Bulgaria’s historic and cultural heart, where vibrant streets, ancient ruins, and cozy cafes invite you to explore at your own pace. From the thundering Skakavitsa Waterfall to the mythical Seven Rila Lakes, we'll experience a winter wonderland that few travelers ever get to see. **Important Notes** This trip is ideal for beginners to snowshoeing with a good level of fitness and some experience of mountain hikes. Hiking boots with ankle protection and proper winter clothing are essential. Snowshoes require hiking boots to attach securely. **ITINERARY** **Friday** Arrive at Sofia Airport and transfer to Panichishte – a peaceful mountain resort nestled at 1,350m on the edge of Rila National Park. Surrounded by ancient pine woods and dramatic landscapes, our mountain hotel offers stunning views of the snowy peaks. After check-in, enjoy a warm traditional Bulgarian dinner and relax before the winter magic begins. **Saturday** Hike: Skakavitsa Waterfall (1750m) Grading: [Intermediate](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/HikeGradings.pdf) Hiking time: 4 to 5 hours After breakfast, we strap on our snowshoes and begin our journey into the magical winter landscape, following the gentle flow of the Skakavitsa River. We trek through ancient conifer forests, feeling the snow crunch beneath our feet as sunlight filters through frosted branches, the air crisp and filled with the soothing sound of running water. Our destination is the majestic Skakavitsa Waterfall thundering 70 meters through a cathedral of centuries-old white pine forests. In winter, its cascading waters freeze into a stunning curtain of glistening ice, surrounded by the silence of winter – a true playground for ice climbers and a breathtaking sight for adventurers. Return to our cozy hotel in Panichishte for a well-earned evening of relaxation and warm dinner. **Sunday** Hike: Seven Rila Lakes Grading: [Intermediate](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/HikeGradings.pdf) Hiking time: 4 to 5 hours Today, we set off to explore one of the most iconic places in Bulgaria – the Seven Rila Lakes. Nestled between sharp, rocky ridges at an altitude of over 2,000 meters, these stunning glacial lakes sparkle like gems in the alpine landscape. After a scenic chairlift ride with sweeping views of the snow-covered peaks, we begin our snowshoe hike through this breathtaking glacial valley. Each lake carries a poetic name reflecting its unique character: Salzata ("The Tear") with its crystal-clear waters, Okoto ("The Eye") as the deepest cirque lake in Bulgaria, Babreka ("The Kidney") with its steep shores. In winter, these lakes transform into a frozen wonderland, their surfaces a glittering canvas of white and blue. Local legend speaks of two giants, lovers turned to stone, whose endless grief created these pristine waters – a romantic tale that adds mystical depth to our adventure. In the evening, we'll transfer to Sofia, where you'll have a free evening to explore Bulgaria's vibrant capital nightlife - a city where ancient Roman ruins, Ottoman mosques, and modern boulevards coexist in harmonious contrast. **Monday** After breakfast, enjoy some free time to self explore Sofia at your own pace - wander through ancient ruins, visit bustling markets, or admire the stunning mix of mosques, cathedrals, and modern architecture. Then take a short metro ride or taxi to the airport for your flight back home. **COST & PAYMENT** £432. Click “Attend” and pay the £100 deposit by Paypal.

Crypto winter? По-скоро crypto blizzard. Пазарът отново е в режим на търпение. Биткойн се движи около ключови нива без ясен пробив, обемите са по-умерени, институционалният интерес е селективен, а волатилността напомня, че увереността още не е напълно възстановена. Вместо шум, този период предлага нещо по-ценно – контекст. На срещата ще обсъдим: * Къде се намираме в цикъла и дали наистина сме в класически bear market * Ролята на ETF-ите и институционалния капитал в текущата среда * Рисковете при централизираните борси и уроците от последните инциденти * Какво може да очакваме през следващите месеци и как да подходим стратегически Фокусът ще бъде върху анализ, а не върху прогнози тип „следващата седмица сме на луната“. Безплатни напитки (защото някой трябва да поддържа нивото на оптимизъм) Добра компания, която разбира, че колкото по-down е пазарът, толкова по-весело е общо-вземането на решения... Ще оставe и важното време за въпроси и дискусия. Ако пазарът е тих – ние не бива да бъдем!

In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA

Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating. Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator. If the weather cooperates we will be meeting in the patio. Per what this group is about: "Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who want to discuss international travel and culture, and anyone who enjoys getting together for good conversations."
