Location: We hold our meetings in the small hall at Sandyford Community Centre, Lambs Cross, Sandyford, Dublin 18.

We're hosting another in-person writing session - back in COSTA Dawson so we can sit together comfortably. What is a write-together? It's a couple of focused writing sprints (30 mins each) with breaks in between for for snacks and chats. It's a chance to get some writing done and to meet other writers. All are welcome, old hands and newbies alike, and you can write whatever you like. To find us, go downstairs and seek out the people with laptops and notebooks.

In collaboration with Gittogether Dublin 🤝 The AI DevTools revolution is here, and it's time to separate the signal from the noise! Join Dublin MUG (MongoDB User Group) and GitTogether Dublin for a hands-on technical deep dive - evening exploring the AI-powered tools that are reshaping how we build software. Whether you're already using AI coding assistants daily, curious about integrating AI into your development workflow, or want to connect with other developers navigating this space, this meetup is for you! We aren't just looking at autocomplete; we would be exploring the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). We'll map out the best tools from the landscape and show you how to build a developer environment where your AI agent actually understands your data. **🛠️ What we're building:** SDLC Mapping: We'll start by categorizing the "chaos"—mapping AI tools to the SDLC (Coding, Testing, Docs, and Ops). The Agent Workshop: A hands-on setup of a GitHub Copilot Agent using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). We'll get everyone's environment "Agent-ready." Workshop: GitHub: https://github.com/skills/integrate-mcp-with-copilot The Data Connection: We'll hook that agent into the MongoDB MCP Server. You'll see how Copilot can explore schemas, write aggregation pipelines, and query Atlas directly from your natural language prompts. Workshop: https://github.com/SANTANNA001/MongoDB-MCP-Config/blob/main/MongoDB_MCP_Copilot_Steps.md Performance & Optimization: A showcase of the "essential" stack—MongoDB Compass AI Chat, the VS Code MCP bridge, and using AI to solve real-world performance bottlenecks. **📅 Agenda (6:00 PM - 8:30 PM)** **6:00 \- 6:30 PM \| Intro\, Networking & Pizza 🍕** Grab some food, meet fellow developers, and share your experiences with AI DevTools **6:30 \- 7:15 PM \| Workshop 1: Integrate MCP with GitHub Copilot** Speaker: [Oleksandr Slynko](https://www.linkedin.com/in/slynko/), Data Engineer @Github Hands-on exercise expanding Copilot's capabilities using the Model Context Protocol. You'll connect a GitHub MCP server to Copilot and use Agent Mode to research, implement features, and manage issues. **7:15 \- 8:00 PM \| Workshop 2: MongoDB MCP \+ Copilot** Speakers: [Ade S.B](https://www.linkedin.com/in/st999/overlay/about-this-profile/),[ Venkat Cherukuri](https://www.linkedin.com/in/venkat-sai-cherukuri-71053513a), Engineering @MongoDB Connect your Copilot to MongoDB Atlas!

If you’ve never been in before, we’ll give you the grand tour of the space. Talk to members and visitors about projects or things that you’d like to do. If you like what you see, ask about joining as a full member. Membership brings many benefits. Weather and volunteer permitting, we might have our wood fired pizza oven going outside! [https://youtu.be/TTQ0YylkEzc](https://youtu.be/TTQ0YylkEzc) Expect caint, ceol agus craic as usual. The space stays open until the last member is left……usually the small hours of Sunday morning. You can drop in for 10 minutes, or stay the whole night. We have lots of free parking available. Bring beer, food, gadgets!

We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator. Join us on Saturday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking! • What we'll do Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 10AM on Saturday mornings. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: 10:00 - SESSION 1: quick intros. 10:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour. 11:10 - chat / take off / keep writing. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 11A-11:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you! • What to bring Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible. See you at The Café on Saturday!

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** *Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit: From Intent to Implementation* Spec-driven development flips the traditional workflow on its head: instead of code being the source of truth, the specification becomes the backbone of design, collaboration, and delivery. 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

Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo. Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine. We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you. The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly. Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome. The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!

Bring your work or your hobby, hang out, and code with us. Follow @buckeyecocoa for more information.
