Freedom From Self-Judgement
(English version at the bottom)
Itsekritiikki voi tuntua hyvin tutulta: mieli arvioi, vertaa ja vaatii enemmän.
Tässä meditaatiossa tutkimme, mistä tämä ääni syntyy ja mitä tapahtuu, kun siihen suhtautuu hieman lempeämmin.
𝐌𝐚𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨
Maanantain meditaatio on viikoittainen zen-harjoitus. Harjoittelemme yhdessä meditaatiota ja tutkimme joka kerta yhtä aihetta, joka voi avata uusia näkökulmia omaan mieleen ja elämän kokemiseen.
Harjoitus voi tuoda lisää selkeyttä, rauhaa ja tasapainoa sekä meditaatiossa että arjen tilanteissa.
𝐌𝐲ö𝐭ä𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐚
Tämä ilta on osa myötätunnon ja mettameditaation teemaa, jota tutkimme maanantain meditaatioissa 23.3.–20.4.

🇬🇧
Self-criticism can feel very familiar: the mind judges, compares, and demands more.
In this meditation, we explore where this voice comes from and what happens when we approach it with a little more gentleness.
𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
Monday meditation is a weekly Zen practice. We meditate together and each week explore a new topic that can open new perspectives about our own mind and our experience of life.
The practice can bring more clarity, peace, and balance — both in meditation and in everyday life.
𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐞
This evening is part of the theme of compassion and metta meditation, which we will explore in Monday meditations from March 23 to April 20.

[Avoimet Ovet] Kehitä vuorovaikutustaitojasi Stadin Sanasepissä
**Haluatko oppia puhumaan selkeämmin, itsevarmemmin – ja vähän vähemmällä jännityksellä?**
**Stadin Sanasepät** on suomenkielinen puhe- ja esiintymistaitojen treenikenttä, jossa opitaan puhumalla – ei istumalla passiivisena luennoilla. Meillä esiintytään, mokaillaan, pitchataan ja kehitytään turvallisessa ja kannustavassa ilmapiirissä.
Tämä on hyvä paikka, jos haluat esimerkiksi:
– saada itsevarmuutta esiintymiseen
– sanoittaa omaa ajatustasi napakammin
– treenata tulevaa työpaikan esitystä varten
– kehittyä palautteen antajana (ja vastaanottajana!)
– tai vaan oppia puhumaan ihmisille niin, että ne kuuntelee
Saat oman mentorin, pääsyn kansainväliseen Toastmasters-materiaaliin – ja ennen kaikkea porukan, joka tsemppaa ja kulkee mukana.
Vieraileminen on maksutonta eikä ennakkoilmoittautumista tarvita. Tule testaamaan, miltä tuntuu puhua yleisön edessä. Ei tarvitse olla valmis – kunhan haluat oppia.

DevOps Finland March meetup
Hosted by Hoxhunt

**Dangers in Kubelet permissions**
We encountered interesting issues with proxy/getdata permissions where the description did not match the implications.
Over 20 years in devops, currently helping secure the world at Hoxhunt
**Terraform Blocks You Don't Know**
"I know a lot of terraform, but what is it that I don't know", Lauri pondered and decided to find out. 'Terraform blocks you don't know' chronicles Lauri's perilous journey through the official Terraform documentation in search of obscure and overlooked parts of Terraform, what they are and are they actually useful in practice? The presentation contains examples using (mostly) Google Cloud, handful of demos including that of Terraform Stacks and a lot of opinions laced with picante dashes of frustration and agony. The presentation expects prior experience of using standard Terraform features.
Lauri Suomalainen has a decade of experience working with public clouds and software. He currently works as the Head of Cloud Development and a cloud consultant at Teamit and is one of the founders and organisers of the Helsinki HashiCorp User Group. Besides professional nerdy interests, Lauri's freetime nerdy interests include playing in a death metal band, rock climbing and board games.

***MIITTI’s Principles for safer space:***
MIITTI wants to nourish a safe and pleasant environment for everyone, where everyone can feel safe as themselves. By joining as a volunteer, employee or participant of the event or activity, you agree to follow the guidelines below
*Non-discrimination*
I do not make assumptions about people based on their external characteristics or names. I treat all participants with respect, and I don’t use language or take actions that discriminate based on race, gender, sexuality, disability, age, religion, or any other characteristic. I respect pronouns and names.
*Boundaries*
I respect others' personal space and boundaries, both physical and mental. I acknowledge that I cannot know someone else's boundaries without asking first. I ask before touching. I listen to others and adapt my behaviour if someone indicates that my behaviour makes them feel uncomfortable.
*Creating Safe Environment*
Everyone is responsible for contributing to a safe and respectful environment. If I witness harassment, I do my part to support those who experience inappropriate or offensive treatment.
*Zero Tolerance for Harassment*
Our space upholds a strict zero-tolerance policy towards any form of harassment. Harassment, whether verbal, physical, or online, will not be tolerated.
If you experience or witness inappropriate behavior or harassment at our events, please report it to the MIITTI or Lapinlahden Lähde staff.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - The Data-Driven Brand
**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception**
Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory.
For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy.
She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps).
Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way.
**About Our Speaker**
Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.
