🌆 Singles Walk: Yarraville → Brunswick Urban Adventure - 12km Moderate

**🌆 Yarraville → Brunswick Urban Adventure Walk - Moderate - 12km** **Age Range**: 30 to 55 or thereabouts **Relationship statu**s: Single. Married or seperated individuals, this isn't for you. **Summary** A fun, flirty 12 km urban adventure from Yarraville Station to Brunswick’s Green Refectory via the Maribyrnong River, secret Flemington bike trails, Royal Park bushland and off‑track golf‑course wanderingsr and hipster‑cafe pilgrimage **Please no**te: This *event* is waitlisted. I want a balanced gender mix, i.e even numbers of girls and guys. I have a creep code operating and event expectations around no shows, read on for how that works. **Meet** Sunday 19 July, 11:00 AM We set off at 11.15.am We are very unlikely to wait for stragglers Outside Yarraville Station — the exit facing the village cafés and shops (the side that trains from the city stop at) (Arrive early for a cheeky pre‑walk cake or coffee at Wee Jeanie cafe, right next to the station) **+++Ensure you read the rules at the end before joining. Registering = agreeing to them+++** 🌿 **The** **Vibe** Think: relaxed, social, a little mischievous, and very “Melbourne urban explorer energy.” We’re stitching together riverside paths, hidden bike trails, bush pockets, and off‑track golf‑course meanders into one long, deliciously varied wander.This is a 12 km walk (3–4 hours), so bring comfortable clothes, good shoes, water, and your favourite flirty banter. 🗺️ **The** **Route** **Urban wandee via quiet urban side streets to the Maribyrnong River** — gentle riverside warm‑up, big skies, breezy chats Secret Flemington bike trails — weaving through tucked‑away green corridors Royal Park bushland — gum trees, bird calls, and that “are we still in the city?” moment Golf‑course meanderings — off‑track wanderings with a hint of rebellion Finish at Brunswick’s iconic hipster haven: Green Refectory — cakes, chats, and the classic post walk debrief ➕ **Optional** **Extensions** (Choose Your Own Adventure Edition)For the energetic, the curious, or the “I’m not done socialising yet” crowd:Carlton extension — +3 km Swing through Princes Park and land at Brunetti or, if we’re feeling cheeky, Johnny’s Green Room on Lygon St.CBD extension — +5 km Cruise into the city and wrap up at Transport Bar at Fed Square. 🎒 **What** **to** **Bring** Comfortable walking shoes Weather‑appropriate clothes Water Snacks (or rely on Brunswick’s cake‑based salvation) Your best flirty, friendly, social energy **⚠️ Group Rules & Event Etiquette ⚠️** These are basic, commonsense standards that keep events safe, smooth, and enjoyable for everyone. **👟 Fitness Requirements** Walking: 3–4 km/hr. Moderate fitness. enough to walk 15 km with limited stops We walk at a relaxed pace. Please ensure you meet the fitness level for the event. If the group is forced to wait excessively, you may be asked to leave the event. **⛹️ Pace: Too Fast or Too Slow** Small social events rely on staying together. If you prefer a very different pace, consider going solo, joining a faster/slower group, or choosing events that match your fitness. **👩‍💼 Time Constraints** If you’re on a tight schedule, this may not be the right event. Social activities rarely run exactly on time. **👥Waitlist & Gender Ratios** **To** keep things balanced and comfortable: Event capped at 12 people to test interest, if my star signs are in favour I may increase this to 20 Generally guys admitted only after a woman registers (to maintain ratios) at my discretion. **Female Privilege: New Idea** **There** is usually a waitlist of men. The first female that discretely messages the organiser gets first dibs on any guy that is on the waitlist to have him included. Assuming this occurs within 12 hours of being put into the going list. Otherwise the organiser chooses. Women can be a little flaky (we love them anyway), so I may accept 1–2 extra **🧭The Creep Code** **A** refined social compass keeps the vibe safe, fun, and drama‑free. So: No married/Seperated individuals or those already coupled up (generally) No Tinder Swindler‑style minglers **Guys: Please Take Special Note** Must have a clear face photo (no sunglasses, no blurry shadows, no “mysterious man in witness protection”) **⚠️Don't obscure your identity in other words.** **No** wide shots taken from a distance where you can't be identified. No yacht/car/jet flexing — if your profile screams “crypto‑adjacent”, you will be gently declined. If you are declined, update your profile photo to something less creepy and more classy **Girls**: No restrictions — privacy and safety first” **⚠️ CRITICAL EXPECTATIONS ⚠️** **👻 No‑Shows** No‑shows block waitlisted people from attending and disrupt small-group events. *Remove yourself at least 24 hours before the event. - No‑shows will likely be removed and blocked from the group. *Last‑minute cancellations **(“flaking”)** may also result in group removal, especially when there is a waitlist. **👀 Attending Without Being on the Going List** This is a security issue. **Do NOT turn up unannounced**. If you’re not on the Going list and haven’t arranged it with the organiser beforehand, you will be asked to leave. Event check‑ins are performed. **⏰ Late Arrivals** If you’re late, the group will not wait. - You may be marked as a No‑Show and removed from the group. *It’s your responsibility to communicate and catch up—this may not be possible for some events. **🎲 Second Chances** If something goes wrong, communicate with the organiser. Silence + poor behaviour = removal. Communication + accountability = second chances. As the organiser is busy organising this may be impossible during the event. **🚩Disclaimer: No Liability & Organiser Indemnity** By participating in this event, you acknowledge and accept full personal responsibility for your own safety, wellbeing, and belongings. The organiser assumes no liability for injury, loss, or damage incurred during the activity. Participation is entirely at your own risk.

Streaming systems, hidden risks, and AI-driven consequences

* Topic: Streaming systems, hidden risks, and AI-driven consequences * Date: Monday 27th July 2026 at 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm * Networking: 5:30 pm - 6:00 pm and 6:45 pm - 7:30 pm * Presentation Time: 6:00 pm - 6.45 pm *(includes welcome, presentation 30 mins & community marketplace)* * Location: Thoughtworks HQ Level 35/360 Collins St, Melbourne VIC 3000 * Ticket: Free of cost, however, registrations and RSVP are required! * Sponsor: Thoughtworks, Confluent **Abstract** Modern AI systems don’t rely on static datasets, they depend on continuous streams of real-time data to train, update, and make decisions. We explore streaming data pipelines as a critical attack vector for AI-driven applications. Instead of targeting models directly, attackers manipulate the data flowing into them. By injecting, modifying, or replaying events, adversaries poison training data, distort real-time features, and influence decisions without detection. We’ll examine how these attacks work in practice, from subtle data drift to targeted event injection, and why traditional security measures fall short. We’ll look at key weaknesses in modern pipelines and explore defensive strategies that go beyond infrastructure security. **About The Speaker** Olena is a Staff Developer Advocate at Confluent and a recognized expert in data streaming and analytics. With two decades of experience in software engineering, she has built mission-critical applications, led high-performing teams, and driven large-scale technology adoption at industry leaders like Nokia, HERE Technologies, AWS, and Aiven. A passionate advocate for real-time data processing and AI-driven applications, Olena empowers developers and organizations to use the power of streaming data. She is an AWS Community Builder, a dedicated mentor, and a volunteer instructor at a nonprofit tech school, helping to shape the next generation of engineers. As an international speaker and thought leader, Olena regularly presents at top global conferences, sharing deep technical insights and hands-on expertise. Whether through her talks, workshops, or content, she is committed to making complex technologies accessible and inspiring innovation in the developer community.
