Ceph Berlin Meetup March 2026

Hi Ceph Berlin Meetup Cephalopods !

Let's get in touch and meet again in Berlin!

As always, it's about exchanging ideas about Ceph, what Ceph is, the latest developments in the community, and what you do or plan to do with Ceph. Please, check the themes list below for what you want to add - let me know or let's discuss it in the `discussions` or via `chat`. However, don't be shy - we all learn although some of us may be more experienced and those will be the source of your learning and experience.

We have a suggestion and volunteers for the actual themes this round (for now):

Ceph intro for newbies ( 17:50 - 18:40 ): This is *before* the main meetup.

• What is Ceph - Ceph intro for newbies - watch out for additional invite, published separately

Main meetup ( 18:50-20:50 ):

• planning of the next meetup dates through the year - perhaps also adding themes
• other - please suggest or volunteer !!!
• anything else that's on your mind about Ceph

A little bit of housekeeping upfront:

• there will be no recording
• presentations will be shared - if there are some and if it's possible
• drinks and food is up to the participant :-) - so feel free to take your favorite drink and snack - we can arrange some beverage
• if you have something to bring to the venue and share - food is always welcome ⇒ but check for the number of people planning to attend in person
• as we did at some time in the past too, perhaps plan for a beer/somethingElse (or two) as the "after-show" in the area around the location

Any changes required ? Anything we should do differently ? Do you want to suggest a better time ? Any thoughts and suggestions are welcome.

Somebody has room for us and wants to offer a location to meet next meeting - let us know, the `discussions` is the place to do this.

Since the location for in-person might be not shown, here it is:

Red Hat, ℅ Design Offices,
Leipziger Pl. 16, 10117 Berlin

We'll meet on March 2nd 2026 in front of the main entry facing the Leipziger Platz, between 18:40-18:50, so please be on time or give me a call on +49-160-92654111 in case you're late.
Important: Give me a call if you are late ! You cannot enter the building or come to the office on your own.
Watch out for somebody with a red hat.

Please, RSVP before Sun March 1st 2026, so that we can learn how many people will join.

See you soon !

Matthias.
