AI provides an incredible opportunity for innovation and disruption, but there's a problem. The data that powers AI is built for humans, and Agents require a new stack - one that is open, interoperable, and free from vendor lock-in. The principles of open data infrastructure enable humans and their agents to create powerful workflows without vendor lock-in. **19:40** 🎙️ **"AI Observability in Grafana: Instrument, Explore, and Evaluate Your AI Agents"**, [Sonia Aguilar](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonia-aguilar-01378512a/) \- Staff Software Engineer at [Grafana Labs](https://grafana.com/). AI agents are shipping to production faster than ever — but how do you know they're working correctly? In this session, we'll walk through AI Observability in Grafana: how to instrument your agents with a few lines of code, explore conversations and multi-agent pipelines, track cost and performance, set up online evaluations to continuously monitor quality, and configure guards to catch issues before they reach the model. **20:10 - 21:00**: Networking & Drinks 🍻🍕 See you there 👋 Grafana & Friends Barcelona

**Una tragicomèdia apocalíptica al més estil de Jordi Oriol.** El present ha imposat un ultimàtum a la humanitat, si de veritat vol tenir futur. Mentre un gabinet científic convocat d'urgència dissenya un pla per respondre a la desintegració de la matèria que permet la vida humana, dos germans s'enfronten a la pèrdua del llenguatge que pateix el seu pare, amb la convicció que tot allò que deixa d'anomenar-se, deixa d'existir. Una història de números, explicada amb lletres. Terrenal, però amb el cap als núvols.

We’re thrilled to announce the next edition of the BcnRust Meetup, this time hosted by **[Protofy](https://protofy.xyz/)**! Join us for an evening exploring two very different but equally ambitious Rust projects: an AI-native virtual machine that rethinks how code is executed, and a distributed task queue built as a hands-on journey into async Rust, concurrency, and fault-tolerant systems. Whether you're interested in language runtimes, AI agents, distributed systems, or simply seeing how Rust enables bold ideas, this meetup is for you. **Driver: An Agentic VM in Rust** by [Cristian Sánchez](https://www.linkedin.com/in/cr3at0r/) Most virtual machines are deterministic by design. LLMs break that. But what if AI wasn't an external API on top, but a native execution primitive inside the VM itself? Driver is a Rust VM where AI is a first-class execution primitive. The stdlib is aware of whether it's being invoked by deterministic bytecode or by an LLM-generated action and behaves accordingly. We'll cover the practical decisions behind the core VM, and the toolkit around it. **Aether: Learning Async Rust by building a Distributed Task Queue** by [Arnau Berenguer](https://www.linkedin.com/in/arnau-berenguer-jimenez/) Building a distributed system is a great way to learn async Rust because you run into all the hard parts for real. In this talk I'll walk through Aether, a personal project of a task queue that lets you submit and run Python scripts on a cluster from a CLI. We'll cover the system architecture, how to handle multiple concurrent tasks sharing state, how to handle loss of connection, and propagating cancellation signals on concurrent tasks over the network. Along the way we'll see the honest lessons learned and what makes async Rust hard but fun. **Why Attend?** * Explore advanced Rust applications, from AI-native runtimes to distributed infrastructure. * Learn practical lessons about virtual machine design, async programming, concurrency, and fault tolerance. * Discover how experienced Rust developers approach complex systems and architectural trade-offs. * Connect with Barcelona's Rust community and exchange ideas with fellow engineers, makers, and enthusiasts. * Get inspired by real-world projects that push Rust beyond the usual web services and CLI tools. Whether you're a Rust beginner curious about what's possible, or a seasoned developer looking to dive deeper into systems programming, you'll leave with new ideas, technical insights, and plenty to discuss. Let’s build, learn, and geek out over Rust together! 🦀 **Streaming**: We will stream it via YouTube so you can also subscribe to our [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@bcnrust) to get notified when we go live.

**En esta charla veremos el estudio de un caso real: añadir un directorio de empresas a una página web existente, desarrollada por terceros en WordPress con Elementor. El cliente solicitó primero la creación de un directorio de empresas y luego la ampliación de este directorio con un acceso restringido a los usuarios registrados, así como la firma de un acuerdo de confidencialidad.** Veremos cómo interactúan entre ellos varios plugins (GeoDirectory, UsersWP y otros) para conseguir funcionalidades avanzadas y una interfaz profesional sin la necesidad de desarrollo a medida, pero sí con la ayuda de algunos snippets de código (escritos por la IA y el soporte técnico de los plugins usados). Este caso de éxito real se puede adaptar fácilmente a cualquier tipo de directorio online, por ejemplo anuncios inmobiliarios, restaurantes, sitios turísticos, etc.

**THE ACTOR'S INSTRUMENT** is a weekly practice dedicated to developing the actor's primary tool: **the self** **THIS WORK FOCUSES ON:** Presence, responsiveness, imagination and the ability to act truthfully under imaginary circumstances. **IT IS NOT ABOUT PERFORMANCE or RESULT.** **IT IS ABOUT PROCESS, AWARENESS, AND AVAILABILITY** **THE WORK:** * Through structured exercises and guided exploration, actors train: * Attention and concentration * Physical and Vocal awareness * Emotional availability * Imagination and impulse * Connection to partner and enviroment **THE WORK IS ACTIVE, PRACTICAL AND ROOTED IN DOING.** **THE APPROACH:** This is a safe space to practice, not presentation. **Actors are invited to:** * Let go of fixed outcomes * Work moment to moment * Explore without forcing results * Develop sensitivity to impulse and response * The aim is to build an instrument that is awake, responsive and precise. **WHO THIS IS FOR:** * Actors at any stage of their development * Artists interested in deepening their craft * Those looking for a consistent, focused practice **STRUCTURE:** Sessions are * Guided * Participatory * Process-oriented Work may include solo exercises, partner work and group exploration.
