Al twaalf jaar organiseren wij speeddates in Amsterdam en helpen we singles elkaar écht te ontmoeten. Tijdens het speeddaten spreek je 15-20 singles. Iedere 4 minuten klinkt de bel en schuift de helft van de singles door naar een nieuwe tafel. Geen awkward stiltes, gewoon kletsen en kijken met wie je klikt. Noteer op je datekaart met wie je verder in contact wilt komen. We zijn te gast bij [Anne&Max Amsterdam Oostenburg](https://www.annemax.nl/vestigingen/amsterdam-oostenburg/), een gezellige koffiebar die we volledig afhuren. Zo ontmoet je de andere singles in alle privacy. Binnen 24 uur ontvang je een e-mail met de namen en e-mailadressen van je match(es). Heb je bij iedereen ‘nee’ aangekruist? Geen zorgen, je krijgt [gratis](https://aboutlove.nl/geen-klik-volgende-speeddate-gratis/) toegang tot een volgende speeddate naar keuze. Meer informatie over het speeddaten vind je [hier](https://aboutlove.nl/speeddaten-bij-about-love-hoe-werkt-het/).

**​Welcome to our Sahaja Yoga meditation group.** 🧘 ​We're a friendly, all-welcome community offering free guided meditation sessions in Amsterdam. No experience, equipment, or special clothing needed — bring yourself and an open mind. ​Our sessions are based on Sahaja Yoga, a simple method of meditation founded by **Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi in 1970.** The name comes from Sanskrit: **"Sahaja" means "born within," and "Yoga" means "union."** ​Rather than effortful concentration, the practice gently guides you into a state of mental quiet and present-moment awareness, often described as "thoughtless awareness." ​Many people find that regular practice helps them feel calmer, more balanced, and better able to handle daily stress. It's suitable for absolutely anyone, any age, background, or belief, and you can go at your own pace. A few things that matter to us: **​Always 100% free.** Sahaja Yoga is offered free of charge everywhere in the world, and our group is no exception. There's nothing to buy and nothing to sign up for. Run by volunteers, with no levels, hierarchy, or pressure. Better together. Meditating as a group has a noticeably stronger effect than practicing alone; that's the whole reason we gather. ​Come along, meet some lovely people, and discover a little stillness in your week. We'd love to have you

**+++ CSS Café meets CSS Day: an in-Person Pop-Up Event! +++** It's that time of year again—time for [CSS Day](https://cssday.nl/), our beloved in-person CSS conference! 🤗 We're excited to invite you to the fifth annual in-person CSS Café Meetup! Join us the day after the conference to dive even deeper into the world of CSS with fellow enthusiasts and experts. As always, we'll stay true to our name with plenty of delicious coffee ☕, soft drinks 🧉, breakfast, snacks and pastries 🍪. Enjoy a mix of impromptu (lightning) talks, informal presentations, and engaging discussions about our favorite web language. Don’t miss this chance to connect, share, and learn in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere! ✨ \-\-\- Our presenters, so far (talk details further down): * **Bramus Van Damme:** Anchors aweigh! Tethering Elements in Pure CSS with Anchor Positioning. * **Marco-Christian Krenn:** Colors aren't values, they're relationships. * **Brecht De Ruyte:** Enhanced Range Slider, a multi-thumb range input * **Christian Schaefer:** Turning a CSS Carousel into a Theme Switcher Got ideas for what you’d like to present? Hit us up! It could be a full-blown talk, a demo, a focus on a specific CSS feature, an architectural approach, a clever hack, or even your wishlist for browser CSS devtools. You can reach us via: * [Meetup Message](https://www.meetup.com/messages/?new_convo=true&member_id=26448852&name=Christian+Schaefer) * [Website Form](https://www.css.cafe/#submit) * [Bluesky](https://bsky.app/profile/css.cafe) * [Mastodon](https://mastodon.social/@css__cafe) \-\-\- **Bramus Van Damme: Anchors aweigh! Tethering Elements in Pure CSS with Anchor Positioning.** We've all been there. You need a popover to attach to a button, but they aren't parent/child. You end up reaching for JavaScript, calculating coordinates, and wrestling with viewport edges. CSS Anchor Positioning is a recent API designed to solve exactly this. This talk is a practical, down-to-earth look at how it works. We'll explore the anchor() function, the position-anchor and position-area properties, and `@position-fallback` to build UIs that are truly context-aware and robust, all without the JS hacks. **Marco-Christian Krenn: Colors aren't values, they're relationships.** A surface should know what it's sitting on and carry its own contrast-correct foreground — so "what gray is readable on this card on that banner in dark mode?" stops being a question you answer by hand. Container Style Queries make that propagation pure CSS; a contrast-derived "on object" makes every surface self-sufficient. **Brecht De Ruyte: Enhanced Range Slider, a multi-thumb range input** Ever wanted a range slider with more than one thumb? So has Brecht. In this session, he'll present his proof of concept for a native multi-thumb range slider and the proposed \`\` element, exploring how the web platform could make range pickers, price filters, opening-hours editors, budget allocators, and similar interfaces much easier to build. Brecht will walk us through the challenges of today's custom implementations, the accessibility benefits of a native solution, and the possibilities unlocked when a slider can have two, three, or even more thumbs. **Christian Schaefer: Turning a CSS Carousel into a Theme Switcher** Modern CSS has quietly become capable of managing interaction and state, without touching HTML or JavaScript. In this talk, I’ll show how I turned scroll markers, scroll-driven animations and style queries into a fully functional theme switcher. Along the way, we’ll misuse the \`\` element, fail with :has(), and explore how far CSS can be pushed before things get weird (or wonderful). \-\-\- **Huge thanks go out to PPK & team from CSS Day and to our incredibly generous sponsor [9elements](https://9elements.com/) for making this event possible! 🙏🏻♥**

Tired of dating apps or surface-level social events? This is different. Relational Labs is a guided connection experience for singles who want more honest, playful, emotionally intelligent interaction — without performance, pressure, or endless small talk. This is not speed dating. Not networking. Not “pitch yourself to strangers.” It’s a facilitated relational container rooted in psychology, emotional intelligence, attachment work, social dynamics, nervous system awareness, and real-world human connection — made practical enough that you can actually live it instead of reading another 50 books about it. ## What happens • A 2-hour guided online relational experience • Real-time connection exercises designed to create authentic interaction • A format that adapts in real time to whoever is present • Optional participant-led in-person continuation afterward • WhatsApp connection thread after the session ## This may be for you if: • You’re tired of shallow or repetitive social spaces • You want deeper connection without forced intimacy • You enjoy personal growth, psychology, communication, or relational work • You’re open to meeting people in a more intentional way ## Important This experience runs with whoever is present and takes its own shape each time. Sometimes expansive. Sometimes intimate. Both are the real thing. Booking happens through our website. 👉 Reserve your spot: [https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) Optional in-person continuation: same day or within 48 hours depending on the city Most people come alone. People often leave surprised by how quickly strangers can feel human, warm, honest, and real. Sometimes awkwardness turns into ease. Sometimes curiosity turns into chemistry. Sometimes people simply remember what it feels like to actually connect again.

Let me invite you to the friendly meetup at Pinely: Who we Are? 🟢 Pinely is a privately owned and funded algorithmic trading firm with offices in the Netherlands, Singapore, and Cyprus. We specialize in high-frequency and ultra-low-latency trading, where every microsecond counts. Talk: **Bazel in Practice: Migrating a Multi-Language HFT Monorepo** 🎤 Speaker Speaker: Oleg Fatkhiev, Senior Software Engineer, Pinely Abstract: Fast, reliable and extensible build system is critical for ecosystems with multiple compiled languages and containers deployment. With default build systems for languages like Go and Rust, custom build and packaging scripts for container images and Python, and Cmake being the only somewhat extensible build system, realistically only suitable for C++, we needed a better tool for our monorepo. In this talk, I'll share what this actually looks like in practice -- including things that worked, things that didn't, and things we're still figuring out. ​1. Quick overview of CI and releases before Bazel migration 2\. All the quirks we used to make CMake usable \(always\-link libs\, conan\, extensions\) 3\. Why bazel\, what is Bazel\, Bazel 101 4\. Long migration from CMake 5\. Relatively quick migrations for Go and Rust\, and why 6\. Building container images without Docker 7\. Remote cache and build and their problems 8\. What we achieved so far 9\. What old/new problems do we have now 📍 Place: Pinely Office, Amsterdam Zuid 🟢 Timing Doors open: 18:00 Drinks & Snacks: 18:00 – 18:30 Talk: 18:40 – 20:10 Discussion: 20:10 – 20:40 Afterparty: 20:40

As always, this will be a laid back evening having conversations with each other with no formal lesson. It is best to know a little bit of Dutch so you are not totally lost but being fluent is NOT a requirement at all, we all have to start somewhere and the sooner you start practicing, the better. If Dutch is your native language, or you have an advanced level, join us en doe gezellig mee!

*A quick introduction* of Henk van Cann: KERI Foundation, KERICONF 2026 and onwards, contributing to LFDT-TrustoverIP with documentation and educational resources. Lagos, Portugal, and Haarlem, The Netherlands Bio below, more on [LinkedIN](https://www.linkedin.com/in/henkvancann/). **Meetup – Comparing SEDI and the KERI Protocol with the eIDAS-based EUDI Wallet Model** *(KERISuite: Free Open-source Identifier Systems Software under TrustoverIP Foundation that is anchored in LFDT)* Monday June 29, 7:00 PM Amsterdam area (exact location to be announced) A meetup about SEDI and its supporting KERI protocol, and how this compares to the EUDI Wallet (eIDAS-based) that will be introduced across Europe. ### In short * **SEDI** = Model legislated in the State of Utah (US): *State-Endorsed Digital Identity*. The state endorses a digital identity, while the citizen remains in control. * **KERISuite** = technical foundation for secure, self-controlled, persistent, cryptographically verifiable digital identity. * **eIDAS** = European legal framework for electronic identification and trust services. * **EUDI Wallet** = the European Digital Identity Wallet under eIDAS 2.0, enabling citizens and organizations to store and share digital credentials. ### The relation between these concepts SEDI and eIDAS/EUDI represent two policy approaches to digital identity: Some US states versus EU. KERI/KERISuite can be seen as a possible technical infrastructure for implementing such models in a privacy-preserving, decentralized, and verifiable manner. SEDI places more emphasis on individual sovereignty and state endorsement, while eIDAS/EUDI focuses more on EU-wide interoperability and legal recognition. There are also concerns about the level of trust European citizens are expected to place in these systems. The meetup is organized by the Permissionless Society Meetup Group and supported by the Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust (LFDT). ### Speakers * Introduction to SEDI and the KERI protocol — Henk van Cann * Presentation on the characteristics of eIDAS/EUDI from that perspective - {Speaker to be announced soon} We are still looking for the second speaker. Free entrance. Doors open at 6:45 PM. The meetup starts exactly at 7:00 PM. At 8:30 PM we'll have a drink and a chat. ***Also announced here:*** [https://www.meetup.com/permissionless-society/events/314848909/](https://www.meetup.com/permissionless-society/events/314848909/) **Bio Henk van Cann** 1.
