foobar.i/o meetup is all about exploring the science and craft of Software Engineering and delivery in a way that is open to everyone.
Our meetings are intended to be a friendly and secure environment where colleagues, peers, and friends can share ideas, exchange perspectives, and challenge assumptions.
We encourage everyone to share their experiences, insights, and even rough ideas through brief presentations and group conversations.
Our goal is not only to learn but also to experiment, to spark curiosity, and to connect with others who share a passion for designing, building and delivering software.
Note: We will be giving away two IT books in a draw for participants.”

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to apply threat modeling directly to your own systems and projects. We’ll cover the basic concepts of threat modeling and walk through the STRIDE methodology. Then, in an interactive group exercise, you’ll work with your peers to analyze a real-world inspired system, uncover threats, and propose mitigations.
Security isn’t just about fixing bugs. It’s about designing systems that can stand up to real-world threats. That’s where threat modeling comes in. By identifying risks early in the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), you can prevent costly design flaws, reduce downstream vulnerabilities, and make security an enabler instead of an afterthought.

Make security a design choice, not a last-minute patch.
1. Practical skills for spotting threats and weaknesses early in design
2. A repeatable process you can bring into design reviews and sprint planning
3. Confidence in making design decisions with security in mind
This workshop is designed for developers, software architects, and DevSecOps practitioners who want to build more resilient systems. You’ll walk away with:
A discussion of building global success and how artificial intelligence is transforming the world.
AI is transforming software development, making coding, knowledge, and execution more accessible than ever. As AI evolves from a productivity tool into the interface between human intention and creation, a deeper question emerges: what does it mean to be a capable human in the age of AI?
When a junior engineer can achieve in hours what once required years of experience, what truly distinguishes a senior professional? Is it technical expertise, or the ability to exercise judgment, ownership, critical thinking, creativity, and empathy?
This panel explores how AI is reshaping careers, learning, leadership, and human value. Where does deep expertise still matter? What skills remain scarce when knowledge and execution become abundant? And how should developers, students, HR leaders, and CTOs prepare for a future where anyone can build, but not everyone can create value?
Audience takeaway: Understand how the definition of talent, expertise, and impact is changing, and what skills will matter most in the AI-native world.
A panel examines how AI, capital, financial systems and infrastructure will shape the next decade through builders, investors and operators.
A designer and engineer examine how AI-native development transforms collaboration, design systems, accountability, accessibility, and human judgment in product teams.
An interactive workshop examines how AI reshapes professional identity, ownership, and responsibility, helping participants clarify their unique value and skills for an AI-driven workplace.
Learn how Vibe & Build helps non-technical people create apps and websites with AI and how other cities can launch similar communities.
A hands-on workshop on using modern AI tools with WordPress for design, development, site management, and context-aware user experiences.
An interactive workshop examines how AI coding assistants and autonomous agents are reshaping software development, developer roles, and the skills needed to remain relevant.
