**Tips and practical aspects to become a 100× developer with Dark Factory and Compound Engineering** A one-hour session on the Pier07 terrace — practical tips on Dark Factory and Compound Engineering, the evening before the full workshop. **What this session is** We are planning a focused, hands-on Schwartz edition for a small group. Before we lock the format, we need to know who is interested — please spread the word within your team and tell us if you would like to join. Practical tips on becoming a 100× developer with agentic workflows Dark Factory and Compound Engineering — what works in real teams Dark Factory & Compound Engineering Two ideas behind this session — in plain terms. **Dark Factory** Agents run the software lifecycle behind deterministic gates — specs, builds, tests, and review loops — while you steer intent, rules, and verification instead of every line of code. **Compound Engineering** Each cycle makes the next one easier: you capture learnings in instruction files, evaluators, and gates so the system gets measurably smarter — not more chaotic — every time agents run. **more details at:** [https://easyspecs.ai/labs/dark-factory-terrace-session-barcelona ](https://easyspecs.ai/labs/dark-factory-terrace-session-barcelona )

IMPORTANT: Venue change this month!

(No clothing please, but accessories are more than welcome) What a great way to reduce waste! This month, we will unpack the terms '**Cleantech', 'Greentech'** and '**Climate tech**', discuss what they represent, how much money goes into developing such technologies, why governments and businesses want to show you that they have a stamp of approval, and why the climate change challenge remains unresolved, despite all the tech out there. We'll also discuss what type of cleantech solutions you should be aware of in Spain, particularly in Barcelona, so you can be well-informed when engaging our political actors. Our speaker, **Alexander Crutchfield** is a researcher and journalist focused on climate, energy, and sustainability. His work spans investigative reporting, policy research, and strategic analysis for public and private outlets such as The Energy Pioneer, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, the Spanish Royal Institute of European Studies, etc. *The talk will begin at 19:00 sharp, please aim to arrive at 18:45 to have time to check-in at the entrance and grab your consumption ticket* 😊 **Permaculture Barcelona Hub** will host a wonderful Sant Joan Afterparty, which starts at 21:30.

Emplaçament activitat: Escola Ramón y Cajal Carrer de l’Albareda 6-2. https://maps.app.goo.gl/Ey8LGL3MZaPhBN7u9 *** L'**Associació Educativa Itaca** és una entitat sense ànim de lucre i declarada d'utilitat pública, situada al barri de Collblanc-La Torrassa de **l'Hospitalet de Llobregat**. Des de 1977, treballa per transformar la realitat social i educativa d'infants, adolescents i famílies mitjançant l'educació en el lleure i l'acció comunitària. Treballem amb nens i nenes que van sobretot entre el 8 i els 13 anys. Tenint també una població adolescent important dels 13 als 17 anys. El perfil de les participants és en la seva majoria migrant. De vàries regions. Són nanos, la majoria, en situacions ecòmiques i socials complexes i segons l’espai poden presentar conductes força disruptives. Cal tenir mà esquerra i guanyar-se’ls de la millor manera. Tenen un relació força intensa amb l’ús de la violència i des de conductes marcadament patriarcals. La idea es poder reconduir aquestes actituds i “regular” el nivell d’agressivitat de la mà dels monitors de cada espai. *** **[QUÉ ES EL SOFTCOMBAT?](https://youtu.be/Essu82NpRvc)** El Softcombat és una activitat esportiva en la qual, mitjançant armes embuatades (conegudes com boffers), es recreen combats medievals, es practiquen jocs d'equip i s'aprenen moviments marcials de combat. El Rol en Viu consisteix a afegir-li una acció més teatral i dramàtica a aquests enfrontaments. Si t'interessa aprendre a combatre, emular les lluites de les teves pel·lícules favorites, lluitar amb espasa, subjectar un escut, dominar els secrets de l'equilibri de peus o fer fitnes d'un mode diferent; el Softcombat i el Rol en Viu són una activitat que has de provar. **És durant el matí de 11h a 13.30h quan major quantitat de participants es reuneixen. A la tarda, es queda(a vegades) un petit grup, però no es pot garantir la seva presència fins a les 18h, sobretot a l'hivern.

Volvemos a la carga con mucho teatro y más ganas que nunca de poder compartir este maravilloso arte con vosotros. Teatro en estado puro al alcance de todos! El nivel inicial tiene una gran importancia en el camino del desarrollo teatral, ya que en este primer contacto con el teatro nos basamos en comprender el hecho teatral en sí. Para ello realizamos una formación actoral básica, basándonos en las técnicas y disciplinas básicas de las artes escénicas, así como en los conocimientos indispensables para cualquier actor. Trabajo de improvisación, voz, expresión corporal, paleta emotiva, escenas, creación y trabajo de personajes, creación propia, desbloqueos etc. Siempre trabajando de una manera lúdica, el alumno podrá investigar las distintas herramientas escénicas que se pueden dar en el espacio teatral, mejorar la expresividad, potenciar la creatividad, el trabajo en grupo, la autoestima, y mucho más. Tomará conciencia de su cuerpo, del espacio, aprenderá de forma práctica como es la relación con los objetos, la creación de personajes y el trabajo de la improvisación, mejorando la expresión corporal y oral. Pero sobretodo DIVERTIRSE HACIENDO TEATRO, ese es nuestro principal objetivo. No os preocupéis si no hay mucha gente apuntada por meetup, la actividad se hace igual porque tenemos más gente apuntada por otros lugares.

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

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

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

Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat. But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity. We’ll cover: * What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot * How agents break tasks into steps * Where agents are genuinely useful today * Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review * How to design simple AI workflows for your own work * A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
