Usability

Buenas! (English below) Cada día aparecen formas nuevas de aprender español, (y otros idiomas) apps nuevas, métodos de gramática, IA, videos de profes explicando cosas, y están todas genial. Si te ayudan a entender más y a hablar mejor están genial. El plan de este grupo es mejorar tu español con juegos, actividades reales y ejercicios para hablar más. Con la excusa de los juegos y las actividades corregimos la mayoría de errores: Palabras difíciles, confundir pasados, preposiciones, verbos que significan muchas cosas, ser y estar en pasado, frases con dos verbos o mas, subjuntivo, expresiones coloquiales, y también los errores "culturales”: ¿De que forma usamos los españoles el idioma en diferentes situaciones? La gente que participa es (casi siempre) muy simpática, y normalmente deja reviews muy positivas de las clases. Si te cuadra el plan ven a practicar tu español y hablamos de comida, de viajes, de trabajo, de cultura, de Internet, de temas locales, de noticias y de muchas más cosas. Para participar hay una contribución de solo 10€ por persona/ clase de 2 horas (materiales incluidos, bebidas no incluidas) o de 30€ por 4 clases. Vente y hablamos. Rafa. \-\-\-\- Hi! Every day there are new ways to learn Spanish, (or any language) new apps, grammar methods, AI, teachers explaining things on videos, and they are all great. If they help you to understand more and to speak better, they are great. The main plan in this group is to improve your Spanish with games, real activities and exercises to speak more. All the games and activities are a good excuse to correct the most difficult/ frequent mistakes: Difficult words, confusing past tenses, prepositions, verbs that mean many things, ser and estar in the past, sentences with two or more verbs, subjuntive, colloquial expressions, and also “cultural" mistakes: How we, Spanish people, use the language in different situations? People participating are (almost always) very nice, and usually leave very positive reviews of the classes. If the plan fits you, come to practice your Spanish and we'll talk about food, travel, work, culture, Internet, local issues, business, news and many more things. There is a contribution to participate of only €10 per person/2-hour class (materials included, drinks not included) or €30 for 4 classes. Let´s talk. Rafa.

¿Te incomoda tener que hablar en público? No te preocupes, es algo muy habitual. Si deseas mejorar tus habilidades comunicativas y en concreto tu expresión oral delante de otras personas, este es tu grupo. No dejes perder esta oportunidad. Compartiremos técnicas de oratoria para mejorar tus discursos y además te daremos feedback para que puedas mejorar tus discursos en el futuro. Si eres de los que prefieren escuchar en lugar de hablar, también queremos que vengas. Tu opinión es muy importante para las personas que hagan discursos. Y piensa que podrás enriquecerte con todos ellos. Las clases de oratoria las hacemos cada miércoles de 19h30 a 21h30 en The Hub Coworking, en Sant Cugat del Vallès. Disponemos de un espacio privado que permite a los ponentes dar sus discursos en un ambiente agradable y libre de interrupciones. Queremos ofrecer a todos los asistentes (ya sean ponentes o no) una sesión de calidad. Para ello necesitamos que los miembros de Meetup que se apunten a esta sesión asistan a ella. Si no podéis venir, os pedimos que canceléis vuestra asistencia desde Meetup. La asistencia es totalmente gratuita para los nuevos asistentes durante dos semanas. Así podréis ver qué hacemos en el aula y cómo trabajamos para mejorar las capacidades de expresión oral de nuestros alumnos.

After a long hiatus, we're restarting the Barcelona AI Mastermind meetup to try something new. Agentic AI and [vibe coding](https://x.com/karpathy/status/1886192184808149383) are revolutionizing the practice of software development. [Even the experts find it hard keep up.](https://x.com/karpathy/status/2004607146781278521) Done poorly, vibe coding is like giving a chainsaw to a toddler, but tools and practices are rapidly evolving, and the mass production of high-quality software is now within reach to anyone willing to learn. Come by BierCaB, with Barcelona's best selection of craft beers, to share your tips, tricks, best practices, and achievements. If you're not already electrified by the potential of vibe coding done right, check out [this interview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuJyJP517Uw) with the legendary Steve Yegge.

**Un espacio para tener conversaciones distintas, profundas y curiosas sobre preguntas que a todos nos inquietan.** **Para cualquier persona con ganas de pensar, compartir y conectar desde la curiosidad, sin necesidad de experiencia previa.** **¿Qúe es Hablemos Sin Saber?** Un espacio para tener conversaciones distintas, profundas y curiosas sobre preguntas que a todos nos inquietan. La idea no es encontrar la respuesta “correcta”, sino abrir nuevas miradas, cuestionar lo que creemos saber y enriquecer nuestra visión escuchando a los demás. En este taller sumamos un invitado especial: **ChatGPT**. Una vez elegido el tema, se le pedirá a la IA que lo defina o comparta una reflexión inicial, y a partir de esa definición se abrirá el debate grupal. **Objetivo:** * Despertar la capacidad de hacerse preguntas y reflexionar en colectivo. * Incorporar la mirada de una inteligencia artificial como disparador para abrir la conversación. * Escuchar y compartir desde el respeto, sin necesidad de convencer. * Salir con más preguntas que respuestas y con la sensación de haber vivido un diálogo significativo. **Metodología:** 1. **Inicio:** Cada participante propone un tema o pregunta que le genere curiosidad. * Ejemplos: * ¿Qué significa vivir una buena vida? * ¿Existe la libertad o todo está condicionado? * ¿Qué lugar tiene la amistad en nuestras vidas? * ¿Por qué buscamos certezas? 2. **Votación:** El grupo elige el tema del día. 3. **Intervención de ChatGPT:** Se le pide al modelo que dé una definición o una opinión inicial sobre el tema. 4. **Debate abierto:** A partir de esa respuesta, se abre la conversación entre los participantes, en un círculo de diálogo respetuoso. 5. **Cierre:** Reflexión grupal sobre qué nuevas preguntas surgieron y cómo cambió la mirada inicial. **¿Cuándo?** Nos reunimos una vez al mes. **¿Precio?** El evento es gratuito, pero se sugiere una consumición de 10 Euros por persona en el bar. **Duración:** 1h 30 min aprox. **Lugar:** delHiras, Carrer d'Aribau, 92, Eixample, 08036 Barcelona

🤓 Please read until the end 🤓 (finally writing a proper description for this) A book club for introverts that don't want to be told what to read (cause who likes deadlines anyway 🥲) In our events, we bring our own book, read for about 1 hour, and then have a conversation about what we read (only if you want to 🔪) and if I feel that there are too many people we get divided into 2 different groups Usually we have book related questions prepared (fiction and nonfiction) so we give this part a bit of structure (and I activate my dictator mode 😌) And then take it from there, who knows you might end up with a new friend, or not (let's not be too ambitious 💀) If you find big groups of people intimidating and you feel like it's never your turn to talk *join our club; we'll be reading instead (but not really, cause after 1 hour we have the socializing part with WORDS) 📚 Important stuff 📚 - The event is free but we're expected to order something - We keep the number of people limited, so it doesn't get overwhelming - The event is in English - You'd usually find us sitting downstairs - Please only RSVP if you're sure you're coming - No show ups will be removed from the group - Please only show up if you're on the “joining" list P. S. If you’re planning to come often, you’re welcome to join our [WhatsApp Group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Eeipv99hcf0Bk61MHEwyuy?mode=hqrt1) for extra outings with the core members

**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 **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus. In this session, we’ll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. We’ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks. Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday. **YouTube Link** TBA

**Doing KPIs Right: a KEY to Analytics (and AI!) Impact!** On the one hand, KPIs are such a Business 101 concept that it may seem a little silly to dedicate an entire session to the topic. On the other hand, KPIs get handled so poorly so often that a case could be made that this meetup could just be one of the most impactful sessions of the entire year! We’re starting off the year at a new location: [COhatch Upper Arlington](https://www.cohatch.com/locations/columbus/upper-arlington/) but with a familiar speaker, Tim Wilson! We’ll be back at Rev1 in February, when the speaker will presumably not be Tim. Tim will make the case that effectively measuring performance of projects, campaigns, and initiatives (and even meetups!) should be a foundation for any data analytics program. Topics covered will include: the “two magic questions” of performance measurement, how to help business partners distinguish between outcomes and outputs, and effective tactics for collaboratively establishing KPI targets. He will also stick his neck out by demonstrating some of these techniques in real-time by measuring whether his talk lives up to the promise of this description! All CBUSDAW events are free thanks to our 2026 Sponsors: Clarivoy, Conductrics, What Box Consulting Group, and Piwik PRO. Check out [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com) for more information.

*GOhio!* turns 8!! 🥳 Come celebrate with us at [Pins Mechanical](https://www.pinsbar.com/locations/easton)! 😄 **Summary** Pins Mechanical Co. is a social entertainment venue that combines old-school games like duckpin bowling, pinball, and other classic arcade and table games with craft cocktails, local beers, and punch. The vintage-industrial atmosphere is designed for playful, face-to-face gatherings with friends, family, and colleagues, offering a casual and lively alternative to a typical bar. Pins' Easton location spans over 38,000 square feet, making it the largest in the United States. This massive entertainment venue features two floors, a mezzanine level with stadium seating, and three full-service bars. It offers 16 duckpin bowling lanes, two indoor bocce courts, and more than 60 classic and modern pinball and arcade games. For additional fun, the location is known for its two outdoor patios, an indoor slide, and an expanded patio pong setup. **Activities** As noted below, some machines take actual quarters. Pins has two change machines (one downstairs and one upstairs) that accept ones, fives, or tens (only), and return quarters (only). * *Duckpin Bowling* [Like Bowling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duckpin_bowling) but with smaller balls, stubby pins, and no oil on the lanes. The cost is $9 per game per person. * *Pinball* [Who](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Who)'s a [wizard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinball_Wizard) on these [retro machines](https://pinballmap.com/map/?by_location_id=15311)? At $1 per play, everyone! Takes quarters. * *Arcade* Play classics like Gorf, Pac-Man, Gorf, Donkey Kong, Gorf, Galaga, and Gorf! The best part is, there's Gorf! And all the arcade games are free! * *Patio Pong* The classic college party staple but bigger. Instead of tossing a ping pong ball into cups, you use a regular ball and oversized buckets. There are two of these upstairs, and they're both free! * *Ping Pong* The most popular sport in China! They have two ping pong tables downstairs and two more ping pong tables upstairs. For those of you who have studied topological spaces and set theory, you will know this means they have four total ping pong tables. They have bubble gum dispensers with ping pong balls in them for 25¢ each. The dispensers take quarters. However, they also have racks where they store the ping pong paddles, and in these racks are slots for ping pong balls. It's not uncommon to see balls already here, so there's a chance you may be able to play ping pong for free if you want to. * *Hookie* You can't put your eye out! The safe alternative to darts: Hook thrown rings on a board. Outdoors on the upstairs patio, and free! * *Bocce* Like bowling, except there’s turf and a lot more balls. You can also knock your opponent’s balls out of the way. There are two of these upstairs, and they're both free! * *Foosball* Everyone loves [foosball](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_football)! 50¢ a game. Takes quarters. * *Giant Jenga* Stack massive wooden blocks into a tower, then take turns pulling out one block at a time without collapsing the tower. There are four of these sprinkled throughout the venue (two downstairs and two upstairs, with one on each patio), and they're all free! * *Skeeball* There are three skeeball machines on the first floor (near the Gorf machine!), and they're all free! * *Giant Connect Four* On the outdoor patio upstairs, and free! * *Bubble Hockey* This is upstairs. Up to four people can play at once, and it costs $1. Takes quarters. * *Cornhole* There are two cornhole lanes upstairs, and they're both free! * *Basketball* There are two basketball machines downstairs. They're tucked behind the downstairs bar, so they're not always obvious unless you go look for them. They're $2 per play, and they take quarters. * *NES and Sega Genesis video games* These are collections, downstairs (near the Gorf machine!), of video games that you can play for free! * *The Big Metal Indoor Slide* This large two-story slide is for kids, and certainly no adults would ride this. After all, it's not like it's free or anything. **Outdoor Patio** Pins at Easton actually has two outdoor patios. But for our purposes, only the upstairs one matters. See, it will be winter and likely cold. But their upstairs patio has multiple ceiling heaters and two massive gas fire pits that put out a ton of heat. Sitting out here may be a real option. As mentioned above, the upstairs outdoor patio has one of the venue's two Patio Pong setups, one of their multiple Giant Jengas, the Giant Connect Four, and Hookie. **Food** Pins doesn't serve food, but there's a [Mikey's Late Night Slice](https://www.latenightslice.com/) next door. This Mikey's is basically an extension of the Easton Pins; there's a large open doorway between both establishments. Mikey's has a fountain dispenser with Coke products. You can also get Coke and Diet Coke (but not Coke Zero, like you can at Mikey's) at the bars in Pins, but I think the quality of the soda pop from Mikey's fountain is better than that from the bar hoses Pins uses to dispense soft drinks. You are also quite allowed at Pins to either bring food in or order it in via your favorite delivery app. **Parking** I recommend parking in the [Worth Garage](https://eastontowncenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/parking-at-easton-updated-file-sept-25.pdf). It's literally right next door to Pins, and it's free as long as you park on Level 2 or above. They recently started charging people to park on Level 1, and you pay for parking on this level the same way you pay for street parking in Columbus, with the [ParkColumbus](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.parkmobile.parkcolumbus&hl=en_US&pli=1) app. I've seen them enforce this by ticketing people's cars, but I don't know how they actually compel payment. The garage is not a public street that actual cops can write you tickets for parking illegally on. If you have an actual ticket from a cop that you don't pay, they can go so far as to issue a warrant for your arrest. But all Easton has, seemingly, is, "[Please pay our ticket](https://eastonpreferredpark.com/)." Still, in my ongoing efforts to eliminate needless stress and aggravation from my life, I just park above the first Level. The actual address of the garage is [4049 Worth Ave, Columbus, OH 43219](https://www.google.com/maps/place/4049+Worth+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43219/@40.0542293,-82.9137962,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x88388a86de3af559:0xc1dc8b4661fc834f!8m2!3d40.0542293!4d-82.9137962!16s%2Fg%2F11sgzjp4ml?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDkyNC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D). However, your GPS is stupid. The actual entrances to the garage are on the cross steets Brighton Rose Way and Fenlon St, not Worth Ave. Just keep this in mind once you get to the garage. **Where we'll meet** I'll post in the comments where I am. People will obviously want to explore different areas of the venue over the course of the event (and there's a lot to explore), but please just let me know (as in, come find me) once you've arrived. **Peroration** Come on out and say hi! 😄
