\*This is a free event, but please [donate through Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.de/e/read-editing-monthly-writers-meetup-tickets-1981513291596?aff=oddtdtcreator) to support our collective if you are able! Please join us on the 2nd Monday of every month for this event, built for all of your “in between works“ by the [Read Wedding](https://www.instagram.com/readwedding/) collective. Most events for writers are focused around ***creation or performance***. Much comes between this, yet we do not always hold each other through that phase. It is perhaps expected that all of those self-questioning, unsure, multi-path moments between lightbulb idea and snap-inducing performances are to be personal and private--but they do not always have to be. We therefore offer you a space for everything unfinished. Needing bouncing around. Ready for a test run. We will meet in the back room of Cafe Cralle, ***which is a cash only***, collective-run staple of the Berlin writing and queer scene, for a more traditional meetup format than our open mic. The evening will be without any set structure of facilitation, but rather an approach determined based on who's arrived and what their goals are. You may expect some combination of solitary writing time, sharing and feedback, and guided exercises. We'd love for you to show up however you are, and with some writing materials (including your phone, if you prefer). However you arrive, so long as you are feeling curious and open, we will have something for you and your work. See you there! Brooks, Bubamarrë, Maggie & Johanna Re(a)d VVedding Kollektiv \-\-\- **NOTE: Excluding select, small workshops, Read Wedding has hosted entirely free events since we started. If you have the means and would like to support us, it goes a long way.

We make landladies and landlords. They buy a flat and pay just 1/4. Tenants and tax cuts pay 3/4. It's not a trick. It's government policy. Our Federal Governments, past and present, want taxpayers to become landlords and landladies, buy property, rent it out to tenants and enjoy passive income later. Come check this out. No strings attached. No sales. Just a meet and greet for orientation. And an after work drink. 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 Wohnungen kaufen, Mieter reinnehmen und später Beton‑Rente bekommen.

Fermentation and Pickling as Culinary and Cultural Practice: Exploring Koryo Saram Cuisine and Intangible Heritage with Tobias Stefan (HU Berlin) Join us for a Fermenta Collective workshop that delves into fermentation not only as a culinary technique, but also as a form of intangible cultural heritage. This session places a special focus on Koryo Saram cuisine - the food traditions of the Korean diaspora community in Central Asia, formed largely through the forced deportations of Koreans within the Soviet Union in 1937. Koryo Saram foodways have evolved in unique ways, distinct from contemporary Korean cuisine on the peninsula. Through generations, communities adapted their culinary practices to Central Asian tastes, ingredients, and environments. Today, their dishes have become an integral part of the broader Central Asian culinary landscape. In this workshop, we will explore these traditions through practice and conversation: • Learn about the history and everyday cultural significance of Koryo Saram cuisine, with insights from Tobias’ doctoral research in social and cultural anthropology focusing on Koryo Saram heritage in Uzbekistan • Prepare morkovcha, the iconic Koryo Saram carrot salad - often referred to as Koryo Saram carrot kimchi • Make our own chimchi, a Koryo Saram version of kimchi to take home • Enjoy our dishes alongside staples of Central Asian cuisine As someone with family roots in Central Asia, Tobias is looking forward to sharing not only techniques and recipes, but also the personal and historical stories that make Koryo Saram food a rich expression of intangible cultural heritage.

Dear Community, after so many workshops, and a breathtaking Hamburg Summit, it's time to greet the sunshine and carry on the spirit of our beloved city! We have three amazing talks prepared for you this time! Thanks to our loyal host **Bonial International GmbH** \- we look forward meeting you all on the date\! =================================================== 18:15 - Warming up and networking chat 18:30 - Intro by AWS UG Berlin & Bonial 18:45 - 19:10 - **Alexey Grigorev // Zero-Trust AWS Access for Humans and AI Agents** Alexey will share two real-world stories about managing AWS access securely outside of AWS itself. First, he will show how he organized a hands-on workshop where participants used personal laptops and GitHub Codespaces to provision infrastructure in their AWS account — without ever receiving long-lived AWS credentials. They needed something similar to EC2 instance profiles, but for arbitrary external environments. Then he will talk about AI agents and autonomous tooling. Alexey's agents run on non-AWS servers with intentionally restricted permissions. Sometimes they need temporary access to AWS sandbox environments, but he doesn’t want permanent credentials on those machines. Alexey will show an approach for granting short-lived, revocable AWS access on demand. 19:10 - 19:35 - **Surjeet Singh Sachdeva// A Journey From Five Certification Reschedules to AWS Golden Jacket and AWS Ambassador** In this session, Surjeet will share his journey of working through the AWS certification path, leading to the AWS Golden Jacket, along with the practical steps, discipline, and consistency required to reach it. He will also explain what the Golden Jacket represents in the AWS ecosystem, including the recognition, credibility, and deeper access it brings within the community, and how professionals can approach the certification journey in a structured way. 19:35 - 20:00 - Networking break with food, snacks and drinks 20:00 - 20:30 - **Abdul Wahid // Deep Dive into Bedrock to Implement HITL Architecture** With the help of AWS Bedrock and his personal domain knowledge in the field on banking, Abdul Wahid will demonstrate The Human-in-the-loop (HITL) architecture by adding a layer of foundation model in the process to analyse the fraudulent transaction and return a confidence score. If the confidence score is below the defined threshold, then the system will alert the human to make the decision rather than letting AI to make mistakes. 20:30 - 20:50 - Common Q&A Round for all speakers. =================================================== **Very Important: There is no "waitlist" for our regular sessions.** However, there are limited seats available.

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
