OzBerry - IoT Makers @ Chatswood Library

**OzBerry – Saturday, July 25th, 2026** *Creator Space* **🌟 Kids' Group Session** 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM **🎉 General OzBerry (also happening alongside the kids' session)** 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM **🍽️ Lunch Break** 12:30 – 1:00 PM – Grab a bite and relax! **💬 General OzBerry Session** 1:00 PM 🕑 **2:00 PM – Open Chat** 🤝 **Quick “Get to Know You” (optional)** – a relaxed way to learn who’s great to chat with or go to for help. We’ll also have a short, open discussion about how we can make OzBerry even better. This could include: * Discussion about our next project - will it be an electronic organ or some other old DSE project - revamped ? * Exploring new topics - preparing for Science Week in August. Erik will be doing a BBC micro project. Discussion of Bring a friend along meeting. * Reminder that July meeting will be on the 25th instead of 18th of July. Our only date move this year. 🎨✨ **Show & Tell** Share what you’ve been working on—big or small! Then we’ll ease back into casual OzBerry hangouts and tinkering. 🧳 **4:00 PM – Wrap Up** Pack up, head home, maybe write a bit more code, and dream up something fun to share next time 🚀 ### What you don’t need * No prior experience required * No specific equipment required If you’ve got something to show off, teach, rant about, or demo — even a quick five-minute lightning talk — please tell me. I am really looking forward to catching up with everyone soon. I hope that you can make it - see you soon. Cheers Erik \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Thanks to Simon, we have a **Facebook** page for **OzBerry** https://www.facebook.com/share/yHsx3iKHAwkNkAHs/ Have you seen it yet ? If not why not ? For the next meeting we are starting at the usual time ... (10:00am-4:00pm) and I will appreciate some help as usual for the kids session in particular. I am really impressed with their Python and Pi skills and we hope to be able to keep up, and also introduce some new topics that work. I learn new things each week like how to debug "Scratch" Robots and how to get remote controls to work in the correct direction. If only I could learn to type as fast as these youngsters :) So please come and go as you like, and don't let me stop you ducking out for some lunch or coffee. If you have a child, It's easy to become a member of the library so that you can be issued with one of the kits. You need to see the library staff to book as well, as there is a limit of 10 because it gets too busy, crowded and noisy otherwise. So please book now to avoid disappointment. **Where - Chatswood Library.** Lower Ground, The Concourse, 409 Victoria Avenue, Chatswood 2067. Parking is usually difficult and I prefer to use the Train or Metro or just park all day near Beauchamp Park and walk a few blocks for exercise. The Metro may be down again, so it will pay to check if you will have a slow bus instead. If you like meeting up with all different experimenters and coders then please come along. Also consider bringing a project to build and discuss problems you are having with the group - we will most likely have someone in the group that will know how to help. OzBerry events encompass a wide range of Open Source Hardware and Software on many popular platforms, including but not limited to: Arduino, RaspberryPi, Beaglebone, Android and more… if it plugs in and is programmable then it's a good fit. We share ideas and help each other solve bugs and design issues that might otherwise be difficult on your own. We try to exhibit both hobby and professional projects each month. Beginners are always welcome, we often have beginner events running. If you are just curious or starting out, all you need is a laptop, we will get you started on one of Chatswood Libraries Raspberry Pi kits, with your library card. Or just come along and have a look, it's up to you. We can also shed some light on the ESP32, "Internet of Things" and LoRa. **Format** 6 hours of relaxed, unstructured collaboration and learning, come and go as you please. Help others or ask for help with your project. No pressure. But most importantly, remember to "Be excellent to each other" - https://github.com/OzBerry/code-of-conduct Share a micro talk. Get up and speak about your project (or another topic of interest) (optional). Please let Jamie, Simon or Erik know what you would like a tutorial on, or even better, volunteer to present something new. **What to Bring** We suggest a laptop at a minimum. Your project if you have one, or some hardware that you'd like to tinker with. If you are a member of the library or would like to join, there are various electronic devices you can borrow: mBots, Makey Makey, and a Droid Inventor and drumroll please ... Raspberry Pi's . You may like to join our discussion list, by sending a blank email to: ozberry+subscribe@googlegroups.com or join on the web: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ozberry * **Library Info** Children policy in the Library - children under the age of 11 should be supervised by someone over 18 at all times in the Library. [https://libraries.willoughby.nsw.gov.au/About-us/Policies-and-Guidelines#section-8](https://libraries.willoughby.nsw.gov.au/About-us/Policies-and-Guidelines#section-8) Thank you, we hope to see you soon.

Stop Patching: Managing Linux with bootc

Most Linux systems are installed once and then gradually changed through package updates, configuration edits, and emergency fixes until no two machines are quite the same. bootc offers a different approach: build the operating system as a container image, test it using familiar container workflows, and deploy updates consistently across your systems. This talk introduces \[bootc\]\(https://www\.cncf\.io/projects/bootc/\) \- the open source technology behind Red Hat's \[RHEL Image Mode\]\(https://www\.redhat\.com/en/technologies/linux\-platforms/enterprise\-linux\-10/image\-mode\)\. It focuses on Day 2 operations, including reduced configuration drift, safer rollbacks, and more repeatable change management. It will include a live demo of updating an existing Linux server VM running a simple web application.

Women in Projects Australia presents: Ai in Action with Barbara Watson

Kick off 6pm for Nibbles and networking. Welcome at 6:30pm and then dive into our session. With the success of our Ai-prompt-a-thon, we have decided to do a series on Ai. We are going to start with the basics so people have a way to start, to learn how to work safely with Ai, and get outcomes that work for you! This will be a practical session, so bring your devices to practice on the night. All are welcome, but this will be especially valuable for beginners. Thank you to PMI Sydney Chapter, Escient and The Commons for your support.

AI Project Hub

Welcome to **WSTI's AI Project Hub**—the hands-on heart of the WSTI community's AI Shed model. This isn't a traditional class or a lecture. It’s a weekly, drop-in "Shed" designed for collaborative, project-based learning, where we support each other turning ideas (beginner or ambitious) into real, working prototypes and projects. Whether you're a founder with a specific problem, a developer testing a new tool, or a complete beginner curious about what you can make, this is your space to build, learn, and collaborate. **What to expect:** * **Quick Pitch:** To spark some inspiration, we’ll have a few informal, low-pressure "progress check-ins" where attendees can briefly share what they’re working on. * **Space to Build:** No formal lectures here. Just a supportive environment to polish your prototype, refine your code, or finalise your pitch. * **Guides on the Side:** Our technical mentors will be mingling in the room. They’re ready to offer a helpful nudge, architectural advice, or a tool recommendation if you hit a roadblock. * **Community Wisdom:** If our mentors don’t have the answer, they’ll connect you with someone else in the room who does. We’re all about sharing what we learn. * **Curiosity is Welcome:** You don’t need a hackathon project to pull up a chair. If you’re a regular from our Project Hub looking to share your knowledge, or just a curious neighbour. We have community laptops with access to some AI tools if you aren't able to bring your own. **Tools/Topics discussed may include:** * ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, Opensource AI Models. * Platforms like n8n and other automation tools. * Coding vibe coding like Lovable, Replit, Antigravity and Cursor. * Frameworks such as BMAD. * Image and video generators like Midjourney, Nanobanana and Video models such as Kling, Veo & Seedance. *By attending this event, you consent that you may be photographed and recorded on video. These photos and videos may be used for marketing and promotional purposes in the future. If you have any concerns please let the team know upon arrival.*

Central / Surry Hills Classic Film Photography

The challenge for today is to capture street images around Central Station, Belmore Park and Surry Hills. Look for the unusual and let your images tell a story. If you feel comfortable enough you could ask a subject for their portrait. The meet up point is the cafe outside the country platforms at 10 am. It is next to the Eternity Cafe. I would recommend monochrome film at 400 ASA or ISO. Hp 5 by Ilford works well as well as Kodak Tri X. It gives a grain effect similar to mid 20th Century film emulsions. I would consider developing the negatives and getting the images scanned to your computer which you can then upload to the meetup page or Instagram. If you have an image, you particularly like you can pick up the negatives from your camera store later. I would recommend Digi Direct at Bondi Junction or Super 8 at Newtown. It is more challenging using film but that is part of the fun. If you don't own a film camera there are two stores in Newtown that sell refurbished 35 mm film cameras or alternatively you can buy a disposable film camera on line or try the two retail stores I suggested earlier. Why not give it a try as there will be more film events in the future.

Testing Gen AI with Paul Maxwell-Walters & Influence in Testing by Rashik Prasad

A bumper double-header of talks for our July Event with Rashik Prasad and Sydney Testers' own Paul Maxwell-Walters (and graciously hosted by Talenza), with the keynote covering how testers can achieve influence in decision making by Rashik Prasad and the next talk about testing Gen AI system. **Talk 1: How Your Teams can Test And Evaluate Gen AI and the Software that Uses It - Paul Maxwell-Walters** There has been much talk in QA about using Gen AI tools in our work to generate test cases and automation – however until recently very little on how testers can test the non-deterministic outputs of AI and evaluate their quality. Typically, direct testing of Gen AI is ignored and left for AI engineers and data scientists. This is a grave mistake. As products using Gen AI like ChatGPT become mainstream and used by all, testers need to learn how to write and automate testing of them – and fast. My talk is on techniques, tools and workflows used to validate the outputs of AI models and agents – including correct prompting, semantic and sentiment analysis, standard outputs, evals and LLM-as-Judge. I will call on my experience as QA lead at a Gen AI tech-ed startup , along with other approaches and use cases, to give info, tips and one or more demos to help you and your teams meet the challenge of testing Gen AI-powered applications. **Talk 2 (Keynote): Technical Excellent Alone Never Guarantees Success, Rashik Prasad** Technical excellence is the foundation of every successful testing career. \*It's what we're taught to develop. * It's what we spend years refining. \*And it's what our profession rightly values. But after leading testing across some of Australia's largest enterprise transformation and regulatory programmes, I've come to realise something that fundamentally changed the way I think about testing. Technical excellence alone never guarantees success. * Why do technically exceptional testing professionals sometimes struggle to influence important decisions? \*Why can the same testing evidence lead different stakeholders to completely different conclusions? * And why do some testing professionals consistently help programmes move forward, even when the testing itself hasn't changed? In this thought-provoking keynote, Rashik challenges one of the profession's most deeply held assumptions and explores what he believes is the missing half of testing. Drawing on real enterprise experiences, you'll discover why the role of testing doesn't end when the evidence is produced, and why the most effective testing professionals understand how testing helps organisations make better decisions. This isn't a session about becoming less technical. It's about understanding how technical excellence achieves the influence it deserves. Whether you're a Test Analyst, Test Lead, Test Manager or senior quality leader, you'll recognise many of the situations discussed throughout the session because you've probably experienced them yourself. You may not leave agreeing with every idea. But I suspect you'll never look at testing in quite the same way again. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- There will be the usual opposrtunities for networking and fun and some prizes to give away! Not to be missed!
