We sit on cash, waiting for a correction or a better entry point, fearing that buying now means buying at the top. But is this fear based on data or emotion? Does waiting for a dip actually protect your capital, or does it simply guarantee a loss against inflation? This session is a structured, open discussion designed to give you the frameworks to separate the market headlines from the evidence surrounding real long-term wealth building. **🧭 Format of the Event** This is a casual, discussion-based gathering with no long presentations. We'll sit around the table, and your host Romain will kick things off with a 10-minute introduction to his core framework for **"Investing at All-Time Highs: Trap or Opportunity?"** This is your opportunity to move beyond the fear of a crash and discuss the real-world evidence on "Time in the Market vs. Timing the Market." **Recommended Preparation** To get the most out of our discussion, I recommend looking at a long-term chart of the S&P 500 (1980–2026) and noticing how many "All-Time Highs" were simply stepping stones to higher prices. * **Continue the Conversation:** For more content on building evidence-based portfolios, you can follow me on LinkedIn here: **[Romain Lucas](https://www.linkedin.com/in/romain-f-lucas/)** **👥 Who Can Join?** Everyone is welcome. This discussion will be especially valuable if you are: * Sitting on a pile of cash, waiting for the "right moment" to enter the market. * An investor who is worried that the current market is "too expensive" or in a bubble. * A professional who wants to base their financial future on robust data, not fear-mongering headlines. **📌 Practical Info** * **🗓️ Date:** Tuesday, February 10th, 2026 at 18:30 * **🗣️ Language:** The event will be in English. * **📍 Location:** **Hotel Le Place d'Armes** (18 Place d'Armes, Luxembourg). *The bar is hidden at the back. Ask at reception for directions if you are unsure.* * **🍻 Drinks:** Drinks are self-paid at the venue bar. * **👥 Limited Seats:** Please RSVP so we can manage space. If you can no longer make it, please cancel your reservation to free up your spot for someone on the waitlist.

Felix Tensing: Exploratives Testen Bottom-up – Testsessions mit Sprengkraft
Felix Tensing: Exploratives Testen Bottom-up – Testsessions mit Sprengkraft
Hallo liebe Java User Group Mitglieder! Im ersten Meetup des Jahres geht es mit Felix Tensing um das Thema Bottom-Up-Tests. Wir freuen uns euch zu sehen (virtuell oder vor Ort). Dank an [BRANDAD](https://brandad-solutions.de/) für Location, Bier und Pizza! \-\-\- Frühes Testen in der Softwareentwicklung gilt längst als bewährte Praxis – dennoch verlassen sich viele Entwickler:innen weiterhin auf „den Tester“, um ihre Arbeit zu prüfen. Entwicklung und Test laufen getrennt, Feedbackschleifen verlängern sich und es entstehen Wissenssilos. Die Folge: Fehler werden spät entdeckt, Korrekturen teurer und das gemeinsame Verständnis für Anforderungen und Nutzer:innen bleibt lückenhaft. Exploratives Testen bietet hier eine einfache und wirkungsvolle Lösung. In selbstorganisierten Sessions können Teams ohne Vorwissen unmittelbar starten. Test-Chartas geben Orientierung, ohne die kreative Erkundung einzuschränken. Schon kurze, fokussierte Sessions liefern wertvolles Feedback, decken blinde Flecken auf und fördern den Wissensaustausch im Team. So profitiert das ganze Team vom Knowledge-Aufbau – sei es fachliches Wissen, Testmethoden oder Aspekte wie Barrierefreiheit. Der Vortrag zeigt praxisnah, wie Entwickler:innen exploratives Testen bottom-up einführen können – auch ohne offizielles „Go“ von oben. Anhand von Beispielen, konkreten Anleitungen und leicht übertragbaren Formaten erhalten Teilnehmende einen Hands-on-Einstieg, mit dem sie sofort beginnen und profitieren können. Exploratives Testen zeigt sofort Wirkung – wenn ihr es einfach ausprobiert. \-\-\- Dein Vortrag bei der Java Usergroup Nürnberg! Hast du dich in letzter Zeit in deinem Projekt oder privat mit einem interessanten Thema beschäftigt? Vermutlich ist das nicht nur für dich selbst interessant! Hast du Lust, selber einmal einen Vortrag bei der Java-Usergroup Nürnberg zu halten? Wir sind nicht nur auf Java-Themen fokussiert, sondern beschäftigen uns gern mit und um alles über Software Entwicklung und IT. Wir wollen bei der JUG nicht nur bekannten Speaker\*innen eine Plattform geben und die neuesten State-of-the-Art Technologien vorstellen. Wir freuen uns auch besonders, wenn wir Themen aus unserem technologischen (Arbeits-)alltag Raum geben zu können. Melde dich gerne bei uns, wenn du dazu Lust hast, wir geben wenn gewünscht gerne auch Hilfestellung bei der Vorbereitung!
Gentle Deep Conversations & Drinks: What changes after you find yourself?
Gentle Deep Conversations & Drinks: What changes after you find yourself?
Let’s meet on **Valentine’s Day** for a gentle, warm, and slightly unpredictable afternoon, not to talk about romantic love, but about **the connection with yourself** 💗. This meetup isn't about figuring out who you are, but about reflecting on who you are, your passions and priorities, and how things unfold over time. 🌟 What to expect A small circle of open-minded people, with tea, coffee, or food in hand, sharing reflections, philosophy, psychology, or simply ideas and inspirations that arise naturally in the moment. The topic is suggested above, and the conversation will flow organically.🪄 We’ll explore the questions step by step, from light to deeper, in a roundtable format. For example: - What’s your name, where are you from, and what are you doing in Luxembourg? - How would you describe your character? What are your strengths and weaknesses? - What are you passionate about? What puts you into a flow state? - What are the three core values that guide your life right now? - How did you come to “find yourself”? - What tends to change once you feel more settled in who you are? - How do priorities shift over time? - What becomes simpler — and what might become more complicated? - How do you continue to become yourself? - …and whatever else naturally emerges. There’s no pressure to share deeply — listening is just as welcome as speaking. ✨ 📌 Practical details 📍 Venue: Bouneweger Stuff 📅 Date: Saturday, February 14, 2026 🕒 Time: 15:00 – 17:00 👥 Group size: Up to 12 people ☕ Food & drinks: Everyone orders and pays individually (Since this is a rather specific topic, the group will stay small. If you find that you can’t attend, please cancel your spot so someone else can join.) If you enjoy authentic connection, gentle humour, openness to different perspectives, and curiosity about others — not just what they do, but who they are — you’re very welcome to join. 🫶

Azure CBUS February: Build Your Own MCP Server
Azure CBUS February: Build Your Own MCP Server
### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way? This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents. Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to: Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture. Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases. Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI. Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem. Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does. Want to be a speaker? submit your talk to our Call for Presenters!!! [https://sessionize.com/azure-cbus-2026/](https://sessionize.com/azure-cbus-2026/)

CBusData - Ok I Want to Get Data into Fabric - Now What?
CBusData - Ok I Want to Get Data into Fabric - Now What?
I love my job and one of the main things I do is help customers get going with any of the data technologies at Microsoft. Right now there are a lot of my customers asking about Microsoft Fabric. It's hard to weave across all the shiny new options across the Fabric landscape, let alone figure out where it fits into your organization. In this session we'll focus on answering one question - how can I get data into Fabric? We'll talk through the "it depends" options and see some of the options in live demos.
