Women Programmers

**This week's venue: ANT Collective \| Tisza u\. 11\. Budapest 1133** (the venue requires 1000 Ft/person) We hold a bi-weekly workshop to encourage creative writing where we share pieces of creative writing and solicit feedback from the other attendees. Some members also use the forum to find others with whom to collaborate, edit work, and/or brainstorm plot, themes, settings, and so forth. And from time to time, we participate in competitions, recite and/or offer material for events organized by other groups. At the moment there is no prompt for this particular meetup. Instead, writers are invited to submit something they have (or are working on) or to craft a short story specifically for the event. Of course, there's no pressure to submit something. Many participants are interested in hearing ideas, questioning the authors, and examining style and technique. Often, we explore other published works as well. The submission guidelines are as follows: 1. limit the piece to 850 words (to give enough time for any other submissions being read at the event); 2. make the text available (though you can read it aloud) for the other attendees. Many authors bring a few printed copies, others post their work in the comments of the meetup; 3. have a question in mind for the group about the submission; and, 4. If offering something from a longer work, be prepared to give a little bit of background first.

The world needs leaders. Leaders head families, coach teams, run businesses, and mentor others. These leaders must not only accomplish but must also communicate. By regularly giving speeches, gaining feedback, leading teams, and guiding others to achieve their goals in a supportive atmosphere, leaders emerge from the Toastmasters program. Every Toastmaster's journey begins with a single speech. During their journey, they learn to tell their stories. They listen and answer. They plan and lead. They give feedback—and accept it. Through our community of learners, they find their path to leadership.

En definitiva, se trata de conocernos como personas para entendernos como escritores. No importa si has escrito diez novelas, cuatro cuentos o el precioso título de un poema sin versos. Aquí todo aspirante a juntaletras es bienvenido.

Is it worth it overall? During the event we will "bogracs" some kind of non-vegetarian food and drinks can be purchased at the venue. See you there! \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🇭🇺 Júliusban valami nagyon különlegeset tervezünk! Itt az ideje egy újabb Hungarian ServiceNow Meetupnak, ezúttal a természet közepén! Meetup program: 17:00 – Érkezés és networking Kérünk, érkezz időben, hogy gördülékenyen tudjuk lebonyolítani a regisztrációt. Bejelentkezés után lesz lehetőség kötetlen beszélgetésre és ismerkedésre a résztvevőkkel, mielőtt elkezdődik a program. 17:30 – Kerekasztal beszélgetés: Expert programok Csatlakozz hozzánk, és hallgasd meg egy ArchX, egy CTA és egy CMA tapasztalatait az expert programokról, karrierlehetőségekről, és választ kapunk az örök kérdésre: megéri-e? Az esemény során bográcsban főzünk valamilyen nem vegetáriánus ételt, az italok a helyszínen térítés ellenében érhetők el. Ott tali!

The language of this event is 🇭🇺 Hungarian. Nyár van, kint a helyünk. Hozd a pokrócod, egy hideg italt és magadat - leülünk a fűbe, és ezúttal nem csak sörözünk (de azt is 🍻). Van egy téma, ami az utóbbi hónapokban újra meg újra előjön a folyosókon, a posztok alatt: **Megszervezzük végre magunkat szakmaként?** A hazai UX/design szakma tehetséges, és szétszórt. A tudás, a kapcsolat, a láthatóság ad hoc mozog - sokszor egy-egy ember jóindulatán múlik. Több helyen is forr most valami: ki összefogást akar, ki közszolgáltatás-designt, ki egyszerűen csak nem akar egyedül ülni a Figma előtt. Ezen az estén **közösen gondolkodunk hangosan**: kell-e nekünk közös szakmai tér, és ha igen, milyen? Nem előadás, nem panel. **Laza, facilitált beszélgetés a pokrócon**, mindenki hoz egy nézőpontot, és visz egy gondolatot. **Miről beszélgetünk** * Mi hiányzik most a leginkább a szakmából? (mentorálás, közösség, minőség, érdekképviselet…) * Mi az, ami már működik — és mit kár újra feltalálni? * Ha lenne egy közös, **átlátható** szakmai tér, mi tenné valóban hasznossá — és mi rontaná el? * Mi az az **első, nagyon kicsi dolog**, amit tényleg meg is csinálnánk? **Hogyan zajlik** * **18:00** gyülekező, pokróc-foglalás, ismerkedés * **18:30** rövid felvezetés + facilitált körök kis csoportokban * **19:15** közös összegzés: mit visz haza a szakma erről az estéről * **19:30** kötetlen beszélgetés, sör, naplemente 🌇 **Mit hozz** 🧺 pokrócot · 🥤 italt/harapnivalót magadnak 🧠 egy őszinte véleményt arról, mi hiányzik **Kinek szól** Designereknek, kutatóknak, vezetőknek, junioroknak, **bárkinek a szakmából** és a társterületekről\*\*.\*\* Nem kell felkészülni, nem kell „valakinek lenni". Aki kíváncsi a szakma jövőjére, annak itt a helye. **Akadálymentesség** A helyszín kerekesszékkel megközelíthető. Ha bármilyen igényed van, hogy jól érezd magad köztünk, írj nekünk előre - igyekszünk megoldani. ♿ **Gyere, ülj le a fűbe, és tedd hozzá a hangod.** Lehet, hogy pont ezen az estén indul el valami, amit évek óta hiányolunk. 🌱 🚀 **Fontos infó: Költözik a UX Budapest!** Gőzerővel készülünk az őszi átállásra, amikor is teljesen **elhagyjuk** a Meetup.com-ot, és minden eseményünket kizárólag a **Lumán** szervezzük majd. Ez a pokrócos találkozó már az új felületünkön is él! 👉 **Itt tudsz követni minket:** [https://luma.com/wdm4y3g2](https://luma.com/wdm4y3g2)

Evolve exists to provide a welcoming place for professional women to create an authentic community, deeper connections, and confident growth through networking and workshop events. No cliques, no judgement. **Shades of Sisterhood** is a space for women to grow from the inside out through meaningful conversations, personal development, mindset growth, and courageous self-awareness. These gatherings are designed to create deeper connection, expand perspective, and encourage women to become healthier, stronger, and more aligned versions of themselves — both personally and professionally. Through honest dialogue, shared experiences, and intentional conversations around identity, leadership, confidence, relationships, emotional resilience, and growth, women are invited into a supportive environment where they can learn, reflect, heal, and evolve together. This is not about perfection, hustle culture, or surface-level positivity. It is about creating a safe space for women to have real conversations, challenge limiting beliefs, grow in self-awareness, and step more confidently into who they were created to become. At its core, Shades of Sisterhood exists to remind women that growth starts within — and no woman has to navigate that journey alone. Guests are always welcome. We'd love to meet you! **[Click here to join the call!](https://zoom.us/j/7894682064)** \*\*Evolve Women's Network is a membership based networking group. You can find more information at [www.EvolveWomensNetwork.com](https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.EvolveWomensNetwork.com&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw0UekYvD4PoVa7WUlFFVHyp). Feel welcome to be our guest anytime!

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * 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!

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you were quoted in *Truth in Comedy*, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**! The idea behind improvised comedy is to create entire scenes from scratch. A suggestion is taken from the audience and laughter is built on the spot. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway, Make Some Noise,* or *Wild 'n Out*; it can also be done in a longer way, to tell a complicated story, like *TJ & Dave*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and FREE!) weekly comedy event, brings the games for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Afterward, many members will hang out in *Gresso's* itself and get to know each other. Not only is this a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, your public speaking, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and build relationships that will last a lifetime, and you do that while laughing your butt off! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "*Yes, And*" that you'll have a blast!

Highlights and Hidden Gems in SQL Server 2025 With so much emphasis on cloud data platforms and AI these days, SQL people can feel left behind by all the marketing hype. SQL Server 2025 was officially released in November of 2025, though, and contains a ton of improvements that will make our SQL Server deployments a bit faster, better, and more secure. There are even more improvements tucked into the release that never made a marketing blog or press release that you'll likely be learning about for the first time in this session! Join this session to learn about what makes your high availability a little more available, your performance a bit more performant, and your database more developer and app-friendly. Come spend an hour with SQL people talking SQL Server 2025 – the good, the "not quite ready for prime time", and the hidden awesomeness.

Come join us for lunch together at Bendi Wok, one of my favorites!
