UI/UX Design

If your days are a blur of digital meetings, and you feel that spark of true collaboration is fading, you're not alone! Join us for this meetup to learn how to push back against it. Here’s a promise: In this meetup, you will experience what real collaboration with real human beings in 3D feels like. But not only that! You will learn: * Why people come up with better ideas and remember more when they’re in workshops without screens * How to use post-its and flipcharts to max their advantage against virtual whiteboards * How to smoothly bring outputs from your analog meetings into the digital world All that will be supported by real experience running real workshops (both analog and digital) in MSD and beyond. **About the Speaker** Lukas is Design Thinking Architect in MSD. He has been in the arena of Public Speaking since 2012 and running Design Thinking and other workshops since 2020. Currently, Lukas is leading an internal Facilitator Community in MSD that counts more than 600 members.

Am 24.06.26 steigt unser nächstes Codineers Rosenheim Meetup vor Ort in unserem Büro in Rosenheim oder Remote via Zoom. Meeting Link: [https://qaware-de.zoom.us/j/88063201327?pwd=1CYwSe7eGIBM3FJWygby1oixvzXUwg.1](https://qaware-de.zoom.us/j/88063201327?pwd=1CYwSe7eGIBM3FJWygby1oixvzXUwg.1) Meeting-ID: 880 6320 1327 Kenncode: tW8JTFtiSF **\#\# KI\-Agenten & Code im Security\-Check: Zwischen Hype\, Hack und SAIF 2\.0** Vom nützlichen Entwickler-Tool bis zum autonomen System: KI-Agenten übernehmen immer mehr Kontrolle. Sie generieren Pull Requests, führen eigenständig Code aus und handeln im Namen der User, oft komplett ohne menschliche Aufsicht. Doch wo endet der Hype und wo beginnen die echten Risiken? Was taugen die integrierten Sicherheitsfeatures aktueller Modelle, wenn sie auf die Realität der Softwareentwicklung treffen? Und wie groß ist der "Blastradius", wenn Agenten durch präparierte E-Mails manipuliert werden? Dieses Meetup liefert dir einen fundierten Security-Deep-Dive. Wir analysieren reale Vorfälle, prüfen die aktuellsten Anthropic-Modelle auf Herz und Nieren und stellen dir konkrete Design-Prinzipien (SAIF 2.0) vor, mit denen du deine KI-Systeme absicherst bevor sie live gehen. **\*\*\* Agenda \*\*\*** 17:30 Uhr \| Doors open\. Schnapp' dir Snacks & Getränke\. 17:45 Uhr \| Welcome & Intro 18:00 Uhr \| Zwischen Hype und Realität: Anthropic\-Modelle und "Project Glasswing" im Security\-Check \- Stefan Feuerstein 18:45 Uhr \| SAIF 2\.0 – Sicherheitsstrategien für die Ära autonomer KI\-Agenten \- Alexander Eimer 19:30 Uhr \| GetTogether **\*\*\* Unsere Vorträge \*\*\*** **Zwischen Hype und Realität: Anthropic-Modelle und "Project Glasswing" im Security-Check** In diesem Vortrag werfen wir einen kritischen Blick auf die aktuelle Leistungsfähigkeit der neuesten Anthropic-Modelle und schauen unter die Haube von Entwicklertools wie der Claude CLI. Im Zentrum steht dabei die Perspektive der IT-Security: wie sicher ist AI-Code? Was bringen die mitgelieferten "Sicherheitsfeatures"? Zudem wollen wir natürlich auch wissen, ob Mythos uns zeitnah unseren Job wegnimmt: Deswegen ziehen wir ein Fazit nach zwei Monaten Project Glasswing. Was ist Fakt, was Fiktion? **SAIF 2.0 – Sicherheitsstrategien für die Ära autonomer KI-Agenten** KI-Agenten sind längst im Produktiveinsatz: Sie generieren Millionen von Pull Requests, lösen Support-Tickets und verwalten die interne Unternehmenskommunikation. Sie sind keine bloßen Chatbots. Sie verfügen über Zugriffsrechte, führen eigenständig Code aus und handeln im Namen der User – komplett ohne menschliche Aufsicht. Doch diese Autonomie vergrößert den potenziellen Blastradius enorm. Die Beispiele aus der Praxis sprechen für sich: Eine einzige präparierte E-Mail verwandelte Microsoft 365 Copilot in ein Werkzeug zum Datendiebstahl. Ein simpler einzeiliger Prompt brachte den Chatbot eines Autohauses dazu, einem 1-Dollar-Verkauf zuzustimmen – vor den Augen von Millionen. Das sind keine kuriosen Einzelfälle, sondern das Resultat von Produkten, die ohne das nötige Sicherheitsfundament entwickelt wurden. Googles Secure AI Framework 2.0 (SAIF) ist die Antwort aus der Praxis. Es identifiziert 15 spezifische Risiken, ordnet sie den Komponenten eines KI-Systems zu und liefert konkrete Sicherheitsmaßnahmen. SAIF 2.0 erweitert diesen Rahmen gezielt für agentische Systeme: Es zeigt auf, wo sie versagen, warum die Risiken hier höher liegen und wie wir die Architektur grundlegend neu denken müssen. Dieser Vortrag analysiert die SAIF-Architektur anhand realer Vorfälle und schließt mit fünf entscheidenden Design-Prinzipien ab, die den Blastradius Ihrer Agenten minimieren, bevor sie live gehen. Wir sind Partner der [ROSIK](https://www.rosik.com/).

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

Some topics that may come up (based on attendee interest): * Frame Debugger & performance tooling * Addressables & additive scene workflows * Input System, localization, responsive UI * AI integration approaches * DevOps & LiveOps experiences * Full lifecycle: idea → cross-platform publishing * Favorite Asset Store tools and hidden gems * Weird Unity quirks we've all run into Nothing is locked in. Bring a project if you'd like, bring a question, bring a lesson learned — or just come hang out and meet other developers. All skill levels welcome. Food and drinks provided.

This talk shows how you get from raw joints to a "thumbs-up" in Unity: the pipeline that cleans up the data, how a gesture becomes a few 0-to-1 values within tolerance, and why orientation matters as much as finger shape. Includes a live demo of tuning gesture thresholds. Food and drinks will be available. **LOCATION:** 6515 Longshore Loop, Suite 300, Dublin, OH 43017 **FREE PARKING:** 6725 Longshore Street, Dublin, OH 43017
