💥💥 APÉRO "INCONNUS" WEEZEM 🍻 💥💥
Hello 👋,
Je te propose un apéro "inconnus". Le principe ? 👉 on vient seul(e) ou avec ses potes, peu importe, mais avec la volonté de découvrir de nouvelles têtes dans la joie et la bonne humeur 🎉 Si tu es seul(e) on t’accompagnera et on te fera découvrir des inconnus qui n’en seront plus 😉
💥 Cet événement est adapté aux personnes qui n'osent pas franchir le pas ou qui se disent "mince je ne vais pas aller à un event où je ne connais personne" (rassurez-vous, vous ne serez pas seul(e) dans ce cas) mais aussi à toutes les autres personnes qui souhaitent élargir son cercle de connaissances avec bienveillance et bonne humeur 💥
Weezem est une appli de rencontres amicales gratuite récemment lancée et nous sommes en train de constituer une super communauté ouverte et bienveillante. Nous accueillons les personnes sans restriction d'âge et les "ancien(ne)s", qui ne se connaissent tout au plus que depuis quelques mois, adorent accueillir et intégrer les nouveaux/nouvelles. ❤️
Alors n'hésite pas à nous rejoindre. Généralement on se retrouve dans un bar sympa qui pratique des prix très doux avec happy hour jusqu'à 1h du matin (cf. photo) à 4€ la pinte 😍
Le lieu est très facile d'accès 👉 au pied du métro Mirabeau et à 5mn des stations Eglise d'Auteuil et Javel 👍
Et on change de lieu de temps en temps alors vérifie bien l'adresse en bas de cette annonce.
Voilà, tu n'as plus aucune raison de ne pas venir rejoindre le groupe 😉
Hâte de faire ta connaissance 👋

Meetup PostgreSQL Paris Null ou NOT NULL ?
Rejoignez-nous lors de notre prochaine rencontre du groupe d'utilisateurs PostgreSQL à Paris pour un atelier sur la maîtrise du développement SQL avec PostgreSQL. Que vous soyez débutant ou expert en gestion de bases de données, cet événement est parfait pour tous ceux qui cherchent à améliorer leurs compétences en développement et en optimisation de bases de données. Notre conférencier expérimenté couvrira des sujets allant des bases de données aux techniques SQL avancées, tous axés sur PostgreSQL.
Ce meetup proposera des clés pratiques pour vous aider à approfondir le développement d'une base de données à l'aide de PostgreSQL. Ne manquez pas cette opportunité de réseauter avec des personnes partageant les mêmes idées, de partager vos connaissances et d'apprendre de précieuses informations auprès d'experts dans le domaine. Que vous travailliez sur vos propres projets ou que vous souhaitiez simplement développer vos compétences en bases de données, cet événement vous fournira les outils et les connaissances dont vous avez besoin pour réussir. Rejoignez-nous pour une soirée d'apprentissage, de collaboration et de plaisir lors de la rencontre du groupe d'utilisateurs PostgreSQL à Paris.
Au programme :
* Null par Lætitia Avrot
* Mettre le partitioning PostgreSQL entre les mains des équipes de dev par Vincent Mercier
Le partitioning est souvent présenté comme une solution magique pour améliorer les performances et la maintenabilité des grosses tables PostgreSQL. En pratique, sa mise en place soulève beaucoup de questions : quand partitionner ? Comment éviter l’usine à gaz ? Comment gérer l’évolution du schéma et surtout… comment ne pas en faire un sujet réservé aux DBA ?
Dans ce talk, nous partagerons des **retours d’expérience concrets** autour de la mise en œuvre du partitioning natif de PostgreSQL, en mettant l’accent sur les **pièges classiques** (migrations, contraintes, index, requêtes, maintenance, etc.) et les bonnes pratiques issues du terrain.
Nous présenterons ensuite le projet open-source \*\*postgresql-partition-manager\*\*
👉 (https://github.com/vmercierfr/postgresql-partition-manager) dont l’objectif est de **simplifier la gestion des partitions** et de permettre aux **équipes de développement** de s’approprier le partitioning : création, évolution, automatisation et exploitation au quotidien.
L’idée clé : sortir le partitioning de la tache DBA, et en faire un \*\*outil accessible, compréhensible et maîtrisable par les devs\*\*, sans sacrifier la robustesse ni les performances.
Par contrainte de **sécurité**, merci de vous inscrire avec vos **noms**, **prénoms et adresse email**, et de le faire avant la date limite.
Un QR Code vous sera envoyé.

Retrouvez-nous pour une édition exceptionnelle chez Apple ! 🙌
Une pièce d'identité sera demandée, utilisez votre nom complet pour vous inscrire, pas de pseudo !
Au programme (les talks seront en français) :
\* Claire Sivadier - Who let the App intents out ? 🐾
Who says you need to open an app to use it? With App Intents, I tracked walks with my puppy 🐶 without taking out my iPhone. Learn how to extend your app beyond the UI using Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, and widgets hands-free, in pure Swift.
\* Sebastien Stormacq - Swift, Serverside, Serverless
Swift developers can build full-stack apps purely in Swift with frameworks like Vapor or Hummingbird, but often resort to Node.js/Python/Java due to outdated perceptions. This talk celebrates 100% Swift across frontend (SwiftUI) and backend via AWS Lambda serverless: no server management, instant scaling, pay-per-use. Through live coding, we'll deploy an unmodified Hummingbird app and then build a native Swift Lambda functions for production endpoints.
\* Florent Morin - ClearSurgery: From zero to worldwide leader of spatial computing in operation room
Since day one, we’ve trusted Apple Vision Pro as the ideal platform to bring spatial computing into the operating room. We began with Swift on visionOS, expanded to embedded Swift, built tools across macOS, iPadOS, and iOS, and completed the stack with a Swift server. Every layer was optimized and accelerated with AI: the perfect partner for Swift. Today, we lead spatial computing in the operating room. This isn’t a vision. It’s reality in production.

🚀 Innovation
✨ User Experience

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**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**
Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively.
This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way.
**YouTube Link**
TBA

OpenClaw, NemoClaw, personal assistants, 24/7 agents. What does it all mean? How does it all work and what should we know about it?
Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
