We are excited to announce our next Utrecht JUG meetup on **March 31, 2026**. And this one is extra special as we celebrate the **10-year anniversary of the Utrecht Java User Group!** For a decade, the Utrecht JUG has been bringing together Java developers to share knowledge, exchange ideas, and build a strong local community. We’re proud of how far we’ve come and we’re celebrating in style with two world-class speakers: **Holly Cummins and Dr. Venkat Subramaniam.** In the first session, Holly Cummins will challenge us to rethink what really impacts our daily work as developers. From physics and the speed of light to statistics, economics, and the end of Moore’s Law, this wide-ranging and thought-provoking talk explores why topics we once ignored may now be critical to our success. We’ll dive into concurrency, Project Loom, AOT, and why certain ideas that were “bad” before might suddenly be the right choice today. After the break, Dr. Venkat Subramaniam will explore the power and perils of AI-assisted development. Tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT can dramatically improve productivity, but only when used wisely. In this practical and insightful session, Venkat will demonstrate how to leverage AI effectively, understand its limitations, and make better engineering decisions when building applications. Join us for an evening full of big ideas, practical insights, great conversations and a celebration of 10 years of Utrecht JUG! Please join us and RSVP! Because of the limited number of seats, please keep your RSVP up-to-date, so we can welcome someone else if you can't make it. *** ## Timeschedule 17:00 Doors open 17:30 Food & Drinks 18:15 Things You Thought You Didn’t Need To Care About That Have a Big Impact On Your Job by Holly Cummins 19:15 Break 19:30 The Power and Perils of Using Copilot and ChatGPT for Application Development by Venkat Subramaniam 20:30 Drinks *** # Talks ## Things You Thought You Didn’t Need To Care About That Have a Big Impact On Your Job Development is about working with computers, right? Well, not quite. Development is about working with computers (easy), and working with people (hard). And it’s also about physics. Things like the speed of light and thermodynamics influence APIs because they influence hardware and networking. Statistics, whether we liked it at university or not, is shaping modern development workflows. Economics — including the end of zero-interest rates — is influencing hiring and the broader tech landscape. In this wide-ranging talk, Holly will explore why the end of Moore’s Law means we may finally need to embrace concurrent programming properly, why Loom is a good idea now when green threads once weren’t, why AOT has become attractive again, and how much business, finance, and statistics should matter to us as developers. *** ## The Power and Perils of Using Copilot and ChatGPT for Application Development Tools serve us well when we understand their power, know when to use them, and use them wisely. AI tools are no different. In this presentation, we’ll look at practical ways to use AI tools like Copilot and ChatGPT in application development. We’ll explore how they can improve productivity and creativity — and where caution is needed. You’ll learn how to benefit from AI while staying effective, responsible, and in control as a developer. *** # Speakers ## Holly Cummins Holly Cummins is a Senior Principal Software Engineer on the IBM Quarkus team and a Java Champion. Over her career, Holly has been a full-stack JavaScript developer, a build architect, a client-facing consultant, a JVM performance engineer, and an innovation leader.

No roadmap. No procurement cycle. No feature request backlog. Just solve the problem. Thanks to vibe-coding, building software is becoming accessible to the people who actually experience the friction. Instead of waiting months for a feature or adapting your workflow to a generic tool, you create something that fits your problem, your process, and your team. Tools like Lovable make that possible. And this shift is bigger than it may seem. This isn’t really about a waffle charts generator or poster tiling tools. It’s about what happens when building software on demand becomes normal. When the people closest to the problem can create the solution, exactly when they need it. **Talk 2:** Digital inclusion in public transport Sjoera Roggeman Public transport is a fundamental service that should be available to everyone. But as services become increasingly digital, there is a real risk of excluding people who are less digitally confident, or have specific needs for using digital products. That’s why De Lijn implemented an “easy mode” within the existing app, a simplified interface that reduces complexity and makes key tasks more straightforward and intuitive. In this talk, Sjoera will walk you through the design process from start to end, and share her learnings and challenges as a UX designer on this project. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \#\#\# SCHEDULE 18:00 - Doors open.

De 37ᵉ monthly meetup van [Nimma.codes](https://www.nimma.codes/). Elke laatste dinsdag van de maand. Een cross-language user group voor software developers in de regio Arnhem-Nijmegen. **Locatie** 10KB. De Kolk 7, 6541 AV · Nijmegen Bekijk de routebeschrijving op: [https://share.cleanshot.com/FtP0Dkxw](https://share.cleanshot.com/FtP0Dkxw) Let op: het eten is er om 17:30. We starten om 18:00 met de opening. *We houden er niet van om eten te verspillen. Ben je verhinderd? Geen probleem, maar meld je uiterlijk een dag voor de meetup af.* **Programma** * 17:30 - 18:00 Inloop + food/drinks * 18:00 - 18:45 **Versleuteld data pseudonimiseren? - Job Doesburg** * 18:45 - 19:00 Pauze * 19:00 - 19:45 **Je AI-agent heeft root, en nu? - Roland Boon** * 20:00 - 21:00 Netwerken en gezelligheid **Versleuteld data pseudonimiseren? - Job Doesburg** Om privacy-vriendelijk gegevens uit te wisselen tussen systemen of organisaties, kan het waardevol of zelfs noodzakelijk zijn om te pseudonimiseren. PEP (polymorfe encryptie en pseudonimisatie) is een cryptografische methode om dit te doen, waarbij geen enkele partij in staat is om gegevens terug te linken. Hiermee kunnen verrassend sterke privacyeigenschappen worden bereikt en data zelfs effectief anoniem worden gemaakt. Naast de fundamentele technologie, laten we ook zien hoe dit toegankelijk is geïmplementeerd in de open-source libpep library (Rust, met bindings voor WASM/TS/JS en Python). Fun fact: deze technologie zit stiekem al ingebouwd in je rijbewijs. **Over Job Doesburg** Job Doesburg is promovendus aan de Radboud Universiteit. Hij doet onderzoek naar privacy en security en is werkzaam voor de afdeling software science en het Nationaal Onderwijslab AI, waar hij zich bezig houdt met “Duurzame Data”. Naast onderzoeker ziet Job zichzelf ook als software developer, zowel professioneel als hobbymatig. Hij vindt het belangrijk dat de inzichten uit de wetenschap ook écht in de praktijk gebruikt kunnen worden. **Je AI-agent heeft root, en nu? - Roland Boon** AI-coding-assistants zoals Cursor en Claude draaien met jouw rechten. Ze lezen en schrijven bestanden, voeren terminal commando's uit en doen netwerkverzoeken. Dat terwijl ze input verwerken waar jij geen controle over hebt: documentatie, tickets, dependencies, websites. Prompt injection is het SQL injection van het AI-tijdperk, alleen breder en subtieler. In deze talk gaan we (proberen) met live demo's te laten zien hoe onzichtbare instructies in ogenschijnlijk veilige tekst je AI-agent kunnen overnemen, en wat die agent vervolgens kan doen. Daarna bespreken we praktische defensiestrategieen en hebben we het graag over attack vectors en maatregelen die wij nog niet hebben bedacht. **Over** **Roland Boon** Roland Boon is eigenaar en software engineer bij 10KB. Met 20+ jaar ervaring in web development bouwt hij mission-critical bedrijfssoftware met een focus op security en privacy by design. Bij 10KB wordt intensief met AI-assisted development gewerkt, en met Manjikaze ([https://github.com/10KB/manjikaze](https://github.com/10KB/manjikaze "https://github.com/10KB/manjikaze")) werken ze aan het hardenen van hun eigen ontwikkelomgeving. Deze talk is ontstaan uit interne discussies binnen het team over hoe ver je een AI-agent kunt en mag vertrouwen.

**Details** The Workplace Ninja User Group Netherlands is proud to announce that on Wednesday the 1st of April 2026 we will organize our 2nd in-person event in the year 2026. **Program:** **15:30 - 16:00: Welcome at location** **16:00 - 17:00: Session 1: Jorik Polhuis “Copilot als reality check: wanneer AI je project niet spaart”** **17:05 - 18:05: Session 2: Arno van Dijk, "How to Protect Your Tokens with Intune & Conditional Access"** **18:05 - 19:00: Food, drinks and networking, sponsored by location host** **19:00 - 20:00: Session 3:** **20:00 - 21:00: Drinks and networking** Location: \ **Session 1: Jorik Polhuis “Copilot als reality check: wanneer AI je project niet spaart”** Wat gebeurt er als je Copilot vraagt om eerlijk te zijn over je project? In deze sessie bouwen we samen een agent die niet samenvat, maar **kritisch meedenkt**: wat klopt hier niet, wat missen we, en waar lopen we risico zonder het te benoemen? Aan de hand van een herkenbare projectcase laten we zien: * hoe je van een idee naar een agent komt * waarom agent‑denken iets anders is dan prompten * en waar het misgaat zonder goede afspraken en data **Session 2:** How to Protect Your Tokens with Intune & Conditional Access - Arno van Dijk When accessing resources with Single Sign On, the Microsoft Services makes use of a Primary Refresh Token (PRT). This token is created when a device is registered so it can make use of Single Sign On. Now a days token theft is becoming a huge problem. Luckily Microsoft has released several features to reduces the possibility for Token theft. Read on to learn more about the profile possibilities in Intune and how to enforce your token protection with Conditional Access **Session 3:** How Not to Manage Your Microsoft 365 Tenant: And What to Do Instead - Dave Stork Managing a Microsoft 365 tenant can be deceptively simple (it is a commodity, right! Right?), but small misconfigurations can lead to security gaps and vulnerabilities. In this session, Microsoft MVP Dave Stork highlights common mistakes he encounters in real-world M365 environments and explains why they introduce unnecessary risk. More importantly, he demonstrates practical, secure alternatives based on Microsoft's latest guidance, CIS benchmarks, and field experience. Attendees will learn how to strengthen administrative identity, access, and posture with approaches such as least‑privilege administration, secure account design, Conditional Access, privileged access management, and automation-first operations. Expect pragmatic insights, recognizable examples, and actionable recommendations to immediately improve your tenant’s management.

NFT's are here to stay folks! This is a group for like minded people interested in understanding, leveraging, using, creating for, profiting from, trading too i suppose, NFT's.. everything around them, complexity, fear and exploits, best practices and more. **PLUS** This group will talk AI ART tools, techniques, artists, video, audio, prototypes and more in the AI assisted production space- ART specifically, but we can get into any aspect of some of the cooler things happening in AI in general.

We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country. Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply. ### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?** Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment. ## **Why Join?** * **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance. * **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space. * **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection. ## **The Ideal Group Leader** The ideal group leader * Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community. * Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us. * Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind. * An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection. * An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms. * Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus. ## **Our Impact**  Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported: * A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being. * An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging. * Said they would return again. We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself. ### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based** Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission! Every contribution helps us: * **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization. * **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year.
