Test Driven Development

Midsummer Atlassian Nights: Governance, Users & Team '26 Fresh from Anaheim June 25, 2026 · 5:00–9:00 PM · SentinelOne Office, Prague Summer is almost here — and we're celebrating it the ACE Prague way: with sharp technical sessions, a live panel straight from Atlassian's biggest event of the year, and a midsummer beer garden to close out the evening. Join us on June 25th for one of our most packed evenings yet. Two expert speakers. A panel discussion bringing Team '26 insights direct from Anaheim. And then — we head outside. 🎤 Session 1: When Atlassian User Management Stops Being an Admin Problem Björn Döhler · re:solution Nobody wakes up excited about user management. And yet, again and again, it's the silent culprit behind some of the biggest headaches in modern organizations — exploding license costs, broken accountability, risky migrations, and decisions made without reliable data. This session tells a story — or rather, several — about how these situations unfold in real life, what teams usually miss until it's too late, and how thinking differently about user management can change the outcome. No sales pitch. No "ten features in ten minutes." Just stories, lessons learned, and a glimpse of what becomes possible when user management stops being invisible. 🎤 Session 2: From Zero to Hero — Data Governance Can Be Easy Hubert Kut · AppForge.ai Data governance sounds intimidating. It doesn't have to be. Hubert will walk you through how to perform comprehensive health checks on your Jira instance, automate the cleaning process, and improve data quality — without it becoming a full-time job. You'll leave with actionable practices that make Jira management more straightforward, your system more performant, and your users a lot happier. Whether you're just starting out or looking to tighten up an already complex environment, this one's for you. 🗣️ Panel Discussion: Fresh from Team '26 — What Atlassian's Biggest Event Means for You All three of us — Björn, Hubert, and your host Julia Skoursky — were in Anaheim in person for Team '26. Now we're bringing it back to Prague. What actually happened? What announcements matter for admins, partners, and teams using Atlassian tools every day? What's coming, what surprised us, and what should you be preparing for? This panel is your shortcut to the highlights — unfiltered, first-hand, and with room for your questions. 🍺 Midsummer Beer Garden When the sessions wrap, we're not done. We're heading outside to celebrate the longest days of the year the right way — cold drinks, good company, and the kind of conversations that only happen when the sun refuses to set. This is your chance to keep the discussion going with speakers and fellow community members in a relaxed, informal setting. Midsummer only comes once a year. Make it count. 🤝 About ACE Prague ACE Prague is a free, community-led meetup for Atlassian users, admins, partners, and enthusiasts across Czechia. We meet quarterly to share knowledge, swap real-world experience, and grow together as a community. No vendor pitches — just honest, practitioner-level content and genuine connection.

Join us for another AI Transformers Prague meetup — a community for leaders, innovators, and practitioners who want to turn AI from buzzword into real business impact. Org charts are melting. And nobody's talking about it enough. In AI-native companies, a three-person team ships what used to take thirty. Job titles blur into capability stacks. The manager's role is being quietly rewritten by agents that plan, draft, and execute alongside humans. The pyramid isn't just flattening — it's cracking at the foundation. This meetup brings together people building inside this shift to compare notes on what's actually working. No futurism. No hype. Just honest stories from the ground. \*\*\* 🧭 Theme: Org Charts Are Melting — How AI-Native Teams Actually Work We'll explore questions like: \* What new roles are emerging — and which ones are quietly disappearing? \* How do decisions flow when half your "team" is non-human? \* What does operating leverage of 10x per person actually look like in practice? \* How do you manage, hire, and lead when agents are doing the executing? \* What organizational models are winning right now — and why? \*\*\* 🎙 Speakers Three practitioners building inside AI-native organizations — each bringing a different vantage point on what the new operating model really looks like: \* [Petr Zatloukal](https://www.linkedin.com/in/petrzatloukal/) – Co-Founder and Career Driver at Alviso \* [Markéta Dlouhá](https://www.linkedin.com/in/marketaconka/) – , Agile Delivery and AI Community LeadDr. Max \*[ Senta Čermáková ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sentacermakova/)– Board Member and Director of International Operations of Czechitas [Michal Ličko](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michallicko/) – CEO @ Visionvolve \| AI Transformation Leader \*\*\* 🎤 Format 3 lightning talks followed by a panel discussion and audience Q&A focused on what's happening on the ground right now, not theory. \*\*\* 📋 Agenda 17:30 – Doors open & networking 18:00 – Welcome & intro 18:00–19:00 – 3× Lightning talks 19:00–19:30 – Panel discussion & Q&A 19:30 onwards – Networking & informal conversations \*\*\* 👥 Who Is This For? \* Founders & startup leaders rethinking how their teams are structured \* Product managers & engineering leads working with AI agents \* Corporate innovators navigating organizational change \* People managers figuring out what leadership looks like with AI in the loop \* HR & org design professionals \* Anyone curious about how the best AI-native teams actually operate Whether you're already running AI-augmented teams or just starting to feel the pressure to change, this session will give you honest, practical insight into what's working — and what isn't. \*\*\* 📍 Practical Info Date: June, 25 Time: 17:30–20:00 Location: \|Dr\.

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
