Become a Landlord/lady. Werde Vermieter/in.
We make landladies and landlords. They buy a flat and pay just 1/4. 3/4 come from tax cuts and tenants. It's not a trick. It's government policy. All German Federal Governments, past and present, of whichever party, want taxpayers to become landlords and -ladies, buy property, rent it out to tenants and enjoy passive income later.
Come here and find out. No strings attached. No sales. Just a meet and greet for orientation.
Wir machen Vermieter. Steuerzahler kaufen eine Wohnung und zahlen dafür nur 1/4. Mieter und Finanzamt zahlen 3/4. Das ist kein Trick. Das ist Politik: Alle Bundesregierungen wollen, dass Steuerzahler Vermieter werden, Wohnungen kaufen, Mieter reinnehmen und später Beton‑Rente bekommen. Info-Abend nur zur Orientierung. Kucken kostet nichts.

**📅 19:15 - Logs as a First-Class Citizen - How Lightspeed Commerce evolved logs to unlock the full power of Datadog**
**(30 min.)**
**🎙️**Speaker: Rein Martha, Staff Software Engineer, Lightspeed Commerce
When Lightspeed started with Datadog, we didn't begin with traces or metrics — we began with evolving our logs. Raw, unstructured, and full of noise. The first step was making them worth keeping: trimming duplicates, removing what no one ever read, and transforming what remained into structured, queryable signals.
That foundation changed everything. Once logs became first-class — with clean attributes, consistent structure, and a clear purpose for every line — the rest of the observability stack followed naturally. Monitors built on log queries. Dashboards that actually meant something on incidents. Metrics generated directly from log attributes, giving us long-term retention without the cost of keeping everything raw.

Portrait Drawing on Sunday Afternoon
This group is for everyone who is interested in drawing portraits!
For me, drawing has been a wonderful way to gain a new perspective on the world and the people within it.
Whether you are just starting out or have been drawing for ages — all levels are welcome :)
How it works:
1\. We meet at The Castle pub in Mitte and do short sittings of 15 minutes for each other\. The first sitting is divided into 3 warm\-up sketches\, 5 minutes each\.
2\. Before we start\, everybody writes their name on a blank card \(provided by the organizer\); these cards are then used to randomly pick the model every 15 minutes\.
3\. Usually we do 8 sittings\, with a 15\-minute break in the middle \(so after 4 sittings\, or 1 hour\)\.
-> The participation is free, but it is expected that everybody orders something from the bar to support the lovely location.
Get out your pencils and let's start!
Please bring your own art supplies!
Building in Data: From AI Agents to Career Shifts | Data Engineering Meetup
Dear data-loving community, we’re excited to invite you to our next Meetup! This time in collaboration with [Spiced Academy](https://www.spiced-academy.com/en), who will be hosting us at their space.
Join us on April 23 in Berlin and bring all your questions! :)
**Tom Kaltofen: *"Building Deterministic Context Layers for AI Agents"***
[Tom Kaltofen](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomkaltofen/) is an Engineer at [DHL Data & AI](https://www.linkedin.com/company/dhl-data-ai/) and a Creator at [mloda.ai.](http://mloda.ai.)
About his keynote:
"Data access and reuse are still unsolved, and AI agents are making it worse. This talk goes deeper into that problem: AI agents depend on reliable context (data, features, intermediate state) to make correct decisions. In practice, this context is tied to specific pipelines or infrastructure, leading to brittle systems when moving from prototype to production.
I'll show how a plugin-based approach lets teams build deterministic context layers: separating what you compute from how you compute it, so the same feature definitions work on a laptop and in production.
The talk includes a live demo where an AI agent discovers and queries data features programmatically. "
**Behnaz Derakhshani: *"What If I Started Today? Rethinking Career Switching in the AI Era"***
[Behnaz Derakhshani](https://www.linkedin.com/in/behnaz-derakhshani-63342775/) works as a Data Engineer at [Diconium](https://diconium.com). She shares her personal career shift from finance to data engineering, including the unfiltered challenges and lessons along the way.
About her keynote:
"Eight years ago, there was no AI to debug my logic, just documentation and Stack Overflow. Now as a Data Engineer, I’m breaking down the lessons learned from my finance to tech transition and why AI makes this the most exciting (and accessible) time to pivot."

**Kaputt: A Large-Scale Dataset for Visual Defect Detection**
We present a novel large-scale dataset for defect detection in a logistics setting. Recent work on industrial anomaly detection has primarily focused on manufacturing scenarios with highly controlled poses and a limited number of object categories. Existing benchmarks like MVTec-AD (Bergmann et al., 2021) and VisA (Zou et al., 2022) have reached saturation, with state-of-the-art methods achieving up to 99.9% AUROC scores. In contrast to manufacturing, anomaly detection in retail logistics faces new challenges, particularly in the diversity and variability of object pose and appearance. Leading anomaly detection methods fall short when applied to this new setting.
To bridge this gap, we introduce a new benchmark that overcomes the current limitations of existing datasets. With over 230,000 images (and more than 29,000 defective instances), it is 40 times larger than MVTec and contains more than 48,000 distinct objects. To validate the difficulty of the problem, we conduct an extensive evaluation of multiple state-of-the-art anomaly detection methods, demonstrating that they do not surpass 56.96% AUROC on our dataset. Further qualitative analysis confirms that existing methods struggle to leverage normal samples under heavy pose and appearance variation. With our large-scale dataset, we set a new benchmark and encourage future research towards solving this challenging problem in retail logistics anomaly detection. The dataset is available for download under [https://www.kaputt-dataset.com](https://www.kaputt-dataset.com).

**Data Foundations for Vision-Language-Action Models**
Model architectures get the papers, but data decides whether robots actually work. This talk introduces VLAs from a data-centric perspective: what makes robot datasets fundamentally different from image classification or video understanding, how the field is organizing its data (Open X-Embodiment, LeRobot, RLDS), and what evaluation benchmarks actually measure. We'll examine the unique challenges such as temporal structure, proprioceptive signals, and heterogeneity in embodiment, and discuss why addressing them matters more than the next architectural innovation.
*About the Speaker*
[Harpreet Sahota](https://www.linkedin.com/in/harpreetsahota204/) is a hacker-in-residence and machine learning engineer with a passion for deep learning and generative AI. He’s got a deep interest in VLMs, Visual Agents, Document AI, and Physical AI.
**Most AI Agents Are Broken. Let’s Fix That**
AI agents are having a moment, but most of them are little more than fragile prototypes that break under pressure. Together, we’ll explore why so many agentic systems fail in practice, and how to fix that with real engineering principles. In this talk, you’ll learn how to build agents that are modular, observable, and ready for production. If you’re tired of shiny agent demos that don't deliver, this talk is your blueprint for building agents that actually work.
*About the Speaker*
[Bilge Yücel](https://www.linkedin.com/in/bilge-yucel/) is a Senior Developer Relations Engineer at deepset, helping developers build agentic AI apps with Haystack. Passionate about AI, she makes complex concepts approachable through hands-on tutorials, both online and at real-life events.
**Operationalizing Computer Vision for Overhead Lines: Beyond the Demo**
At first glance, visual inspection of high-voltage power lines seems straightforward: collect imagery, run one or two AI models, and report the findings. In practice, moving beyond a proof of concept reveals a range of issues that can make or break a campaign. Common concerns include data quality and coverage, scarcity of the most relevant cases and abundance everywhere else, variations in pylon geometry and asset types across regions, calibration and GIS alignment challenges, and a long tail of edge cases that emerge in real-world operations.
This talk introduces Siemens Energy’s end-to-end overhead line inspection solution and shares key learnings from inspecting more than 10,000 km of power lines for real customers across several continents. We will show how raw 2D/3D data is transformed into structured information, delivering insights into asset inventory as well as defects, and supporting maintenance and planning decisions for critical infrastructure. The focus is on the combination of algorithmic building blocks and scalable processing, designed for robustness and consistency at scale, where even low error rates can become operationally significant.
*About the Speaker*
[Stefan Wakolbinger](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stefan-wakolbinger-aa0ba874/) is the Development Team Lead for AI & Analytics at SIEAERO, Siemens Energy's digital powerline inspection service.

Learn how to use AI to get past screening systems and land real opportunities — from jobs to freelance projects.
Companies are already using AI to filter CVs before a human ever reads them. That's the reality. But here's the thing - AI is just a tool. And tools can be used by both sides.
In this hands-on workshop - hosted by the Smart Coop Germany - you'll learn how to use Claude AI to write applications that work with AI screening systems, not against them. Sharper CVs, stronger cover letters, better chances. This workshop is part of Smart's commitment to its community: freelancers who are self-employed, but not alone. Whether you're looking for your next client, a new project, or a full-time role - this is for you.
What to bring:
\- Laptop or iPad \(smartphone only = tough mode 😅\)
\- Claude account \(free tier works\, paid recommended\)
\- Your CV \+ a cover letter \(any version\)
\- LinkedIn or Xing profile as PDF if you have one
\- 1\-2 digital photos of yourself or your work
Limited to \~15 people - because this is a real workshop, not a lecture.

Free in Person Meeting - Get Over Losses and Betrayls
Do you want more motivation and confidence to build Lasting Relationships?
This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships.
Are you burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse.
Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival, while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well.
Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship.
Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action?
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships!
Break free from self imposed limitations
Here we will discuss:
• How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes.
• Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you?
• Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it?
• Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love?
• Fights & arguments - what's really behind them?
• What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others?
• How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change?
• Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them?
• How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about?
• How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career?
Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general.
Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person.
Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life.

**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.
