Title: Chinese Calligraphy in the Park 🖌️🍃 (Beginner-Friendly) Description: Join us for a calm, aesthetic outdoor session of Chinese calligraphy in the park — a slow, mindful practice where nature becomes your studio. We’ll begin with a short story: how Chinese characters were inspired by observing nature, and why in calligraphy the most important thing isn’t speed, but attention. Then we’ll practice step by step: • Brush basics: how to hold the brush, where to press, where to stay light • Water practice: strokes on water-writing sheets (they appear, then fade — no fear of mistakes) • Ink practice: training sheets with ink for deeper, more confident movement • Final piece: your chosen character on rice paper (Optional: add a fingerprint stamp as a personal mark of the moment) You’ll leave with your finished calligraphy — a small art object and a memory of a quiet, beautiful morning. What to bring: Comfortable clothes, a bottle of water, and a curious mind. All calligraphy materials are provided (brush, ink, water sheets, paper). Level: Open to beginners — no experience needed. Meeting point: 📍 Parc Honoré d'Estienne d'Orves Parc Naturel Départemental Honoré d'Estienne d'Orves 🕒 22.02.2026, 10:00 AM (duration: 1–1.5 hours) Spots: Limited to keep the atmosphere calm. Please RSVP. How to join / contact: Send me a message on Meetup or DM “Calligraphy in the Park” for the next dates.

In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA
