WIN AI — meet-up #5 | AI community for women in Luxembourg
**WinAI Meet-up #5: Claude Cowork** What does it actually look like when AI handles your tasks while you do something else? This meet-up, we're looking at Claude Cowork. We will walk through how it works and what it's actually capable of, not a tutorial, just a real look at giving it a task and getting finished work back. Then we open it up. Questions, reactions, where this fits (or doesn't) in your own work. No laptop needed. Just come curious. You'll need a paid Claude account to use Cowork yourself, but if you don't have one, come anyway. See what's possible. It might be all the convincing you need.

What I built using AI
Hello tech enthusiasts, builders, and innovators! Welcome to the next edition of LuxTechPulse & [GDG Luxembourg](https://gdg.community.dev/gdg-luxembourg/) meetup. This time, we are skipping boring theory and diving straight into the real stuff: **"What I built using AI."** No fluff—just real-world use cases, live showcases, lessons learned, and practical insights. 🎙️ **Meet the Speakers** * **PlayPrompt: a platform for kids to create games with AI** by ***[Anselmo Talotta](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anselmotalotta/)*** Anselmo will take us behind the scenes of his amazing project, PlayPrompt.

It scores each opportunity 0 to 10, and generates cover letters based on your writing style. Career Repo feels like a daily organiser – familiar, calm, always one click away, bookmarked in your browser as "Career". You return to it when something interesting in your professional life happens: a new career opportunity, an interview, a role change. All artifacts – cover letters, CV snapshots, case studies – are downloadable at any moment, ready to send to a recruiter or a partner. Over years, it becomes the single place that knows your entire professional story. 🕒 **Agenda** * **18:00 – 18:30** \| Meet\, grab a drink\, and casual networking * **18:30 – 19:40** \| Talks \+ Q&A sessions * **20:00 – 21:00** \| Open mic \(pitch your own AI project\!\) and networking > 📢 **Want to showcase your project?** If you have built something cool using AI lately—whether it's a minor automation script, a fun side project, or a full-scale startup—and want to share it during the open mic, reach out to the organizers! 📍 **Where:** We are meeting in the café on the upper floor at Independent Café.

[EVENTBRITE required] Fireside Chat - Luxembourg’s Summer in Three Acts
[EVENTBRITE required] Fireside Chat - Luxembourg’s Summer in Three Acts
⚠️EVENTBRITE REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED⚠️ https://www.eventbrite.com/e/luxembourgs-summer-in-three-acts-pilgrimage-harvest-and-wine-tickets-1987782782813?aff=meetup (Ignore the 10-attendees-limit – registrations are valid through Eventbrite) **Luxembourg’s Summer in Three Acts: Pilgrimage, Harvest, and Wine** This is the **third event** of the newly launched **Bourgmeisterin: Fireside Chats** bi-monthly series – a cultural storytelling format supported by the [Ministry of Family Affairs, Solidarity, Living Together, and Reception of Refugees ](https://mfsva.gouvernement.lu/en/.html "https://mfsva.gouvernement.lu/en/.html") and co-produced with[ ](https://www.radioara.org/)**[ARA City Radio](https://www.radioara.org/)** that runs from winter 2026 till summer 2027. The series builds on **[Bourgmeisterin](https://bourgmeisterin.com/about "https://bourgmeisterin.com/about")**, a long-running cultural storytelling project that has been exploring Luxembourg’s history, traditions, and identity for over 2.5 years. For those who missed the previous events: all events are vide-recorded as podcasts – here's the **[YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@Bourgmeisterin)[📺](https://youtu.be/m_DnkOWUn4w?feature=shared "https://youtu.be/m_DnkOWUn4w?feature=shared")** to bring you up to speed😉 **\-\-\-** This Fireside Chat explores three traditions that have helped Luxembourg mark the passing of summer for centuries: 🕺🏻🥁**Hopping Procession of Echternach** – why do thousands of people still hop through the streets of Echternach every year at the end of May? 🌾**Léiffrawëschdag** – why are bouquets made from herbs, grains, onions and carrots still blessed on August 15 in Greiveldange (and many other parts of the country for that matter)? 🍷**Fiederwäissen** – and why does a cloudy, unfinished wine inspire such anticipation every autumn? In a world that moves *faster than ever*, some traditions continue to bring people together – not because they are **efficient or practical,** but because they **help us mark time, create belonging, and make sense of change.** They show how people have historically navigated beginnings, endings, uncertainty, and belonging. Together, we'll explore: * Why communities create rituals in the first place * What it means to move, celebrate, and participate as a group * How traditions help people mark the passing of time * Why certain customs survive while others disappear * And what these rituals can still teach us about community, identity, and belonging today Because sometimes the most interesting question isn't why a tradition exists. **It's why people continue returning to it.** **💃🏻Who's leading the conversation** * The evening is hosted by **[Julia Khalyavko](https://www.linkedin.com/in/julia-khalyavko-54a6a420b/)**, the founder of **Bourgmeisterin**, a cultural storytelling project dedicated to exploring Luxembourg’s history, traditions, and contemporary identity through articles, podcasts, and public conversations. * The discussion is joined by **[Joëlla van Donkersgoed](https://www.linkedin.com/in/joella-van-donkersgoed)**, a Dutch heritage scholar and public historian who has lived in Luxembourg for the last five years. With a background in heritage studies, and art history, she focuses on how communities connect with their past in the present. She has led several public-facing history projects during her time at the **Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH)** at the **University of Luxembourg**, helping to make local history meaningful to wider audiences. **🤝🍷🍔Stay, talk, connect** The conversation doesn’t end when the fireside chat does. **Catering and drinks will be served after the discussion**, offering space to linger, exchange thoughts, and connect with fellow attendees in a relaxed, informal setting with up to 50 other attendees. **🎥🗣️NB! Recording, publication and spoken language** * Please note that the fireside chat will be **video-recorded**. Some **before- and after-moments** – as guests arrive and leave – may also be captured. The recording will be edited into a **video-podcast episode** and published on **YouTube** as part of the Bourgmeisterin: Fireside Chats series. * The event will be held in **English**. **A big thank you to our partners:** 🎥 **Super8**, our videography partner bringing the Fireside Chats to life on screen, 📍**Silversquare Liberté**, our venue partner hosting this Fireside Chat in Luxembourg City, 📲 **Itrepide Studio** our social media partner helping us shape and share the story **Follow Bourgmeisterin [everywhere](https://linktr.ee/bourgmeisterin)!** \-\-\- 🎟️ *Admission is free thanks to the generous support of the Ministry, which makes this event accessible to all.* 🚨 *The order form includes a short pre-event survey: as this is a Ministry-funded initiative, we are required to report on certain aspects of the event, including audience demographics. Your responses help us meet these reporting obligations* 🙏

[Eric Rico: From Joints to Gestures: Reading Hands in Unity] (In-Person) #13
[Eric Rico: From Joints to Gestures: Reading Hands in Unity] (In-Person) #13
Let's get together and listen to **[Eric Rico](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericrico/)** from Unity3D (**From Joints to Gestures: Reading Hands in Unity**). A hand tracker gives you joints, not a gesture. 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. Eric also runs the **[Columbus Unity User Group](https://www.meetup.com/columbus-unity-user-group/)**. Check it out! ***Bring your laptop and expect to write some (non-AI-generated) code!*** Food and drinks will be available. **LOCATION:** 6515 Longshore Loop, Suite 300, Dublin, OH 43017 **FREE PARKING:** 6725 Longshore Street, Dublin, OH 43017

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**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 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** *Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code* Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. 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
