Day Hike â Bohemian Switzerland National Park
**Forget the tourist trail. We're going deep into Bohemian Switzerland â one of the most surreal landscapes in Central Europe, and it's right on our doorstep.**
Towering sandstone pillars. A river gorge where the light barely reaches the ground. A boat ride through a narrow canyon carved into solid rock. And at the end of it all: PravÄickĂĄ brĂĄna â the largest natural rock arch in Europe, perched above the treeline with views that make the climb absolutely worth it.
This is the kind of day where you stop every ten minutes because something looks unreal. Forest trails that open suddenly into panoramic views. A medieval-looking chateau bolted onto a cliff face. A flat-bottomed boat floating you through a gorge so narrow you can touch both walls. And you're back in Prague by 19:00.
**Who's this for?**
Anyone who wants a proper day out in nature. Solid shoes, reasonable fitness, willingness to be away from your phone for a few hours. First time in Czech nature? Perfect introduction. Been here before? You'll love having company.
***

đď¸ **~11:30 â PravÄickĂĄ brĂĄna + SokolĂ hnĂzdo**
The highlight of the day. Europe's largest natural sandstone arch, 26.5 metres wide, with a 19th-century chateau literally built into the cliff beside it. Entrance fee applies (~150â200 CZK, card accepted). Take your time â this is the view you came for.
đ˝ď¸ **~12:30 â Lunch at MeznĂ Louka**
Short walk down to Hotel MeznĂ Louka â traditional Czech cuisine, and **the biggest beer garden in the region**. They offer group menus at special rates.
âľ **~14:00 â DivokĂĄ soutÄska (Wild Gorge) boat ride**
The finale. A flat-bottomed boat takes you through the Kamenice river gorge â narrow sandstone walls, hanging ferns, near-total silence except for the water. Open daily 09:00â17:30, last boat at 17:30. Entry: **200 CZK / person** (cash or card). Hands down one of the best 30 minutes in Bohemia.
đ **~15:30 â Walk back to HĹensko**

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, weâll 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. Weâll 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. Weâll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.

* What you're working on
* What you can help others with
Round 2:
* Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too.
Round 3:
* Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool.
After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
