GitHub Copilot Dev Days Berlin

GitHub Copilot Dev Days Berlin

Tue, Oct 6, 2:00 PM
From Global AI Berlin
4.5

✨ Dev Days is a global, in-person community-led initiative taking place from September 1st - October 31st, 2026. The series brings together developers, enthusiasts, and local tech communities to explore the power of GitHub Copilot through practical, hands-on experiences. Open to all developers, each session runs for approximately 2-3 hours and focuses on real-world workflows, hands-on activities, and workshops centred on GitHub Copilot in the Copilot app and the CLI. Agenda: 04:00 PM - 04:15 PM Opening and Networking 04:15 pm - 05:00 pm Talk **Yuriy Varshavskyy** *Agentic Workflows with GitHub Copilot* Discover how GitHub Copilot Agentic Workflows can automate complex development tasks by combining AI-driven planning with GitHub Actions. In this session, you'll learn what agentic workflows are, how to create them using a simple Markdown definition, compile them into executable GitHub Actions workflows, and integrate them into your development process. We'll also explore key benefits such as automation, consistency, reduced manual effort, and faster delivery of software solutions. 05:00 pm - 05:15 pm Break 05:15 pm - 06:00 pm Talk **Luise Freese** *Beyond Proof-of-Concept Prison: Who Owns What We Ship?* In a proof of concept, AI is a feature. In production, it becomes infrastructure. The impressive demo is the easy part. Shipping it means confronting everything the prototype was allowed to ignore: maintenance, integration, failure, accountability, cost, and the people whose work will be reorganized around the system. Organizations often treat Proof-of-Concept Prison as a technical problem. But many prototypes remain prototypes because nobody has made the decisions a real product requires. Ownership stays vague, budgets remain temporary, and delivery teams inherit risks they do not have the authority to resolve. The organization wants innovation, but hesitates when innovation demands lasting responsibility. Yet assigning a product owner does not settle the deeper question of ownership. Who owns the models, infrastructure, data and knowledge the product depends on? Who gains control when work is moved into systems operated by a handful of vendors? Who captures the productivity gains, and who carries the social and environmental costs? A system can be technically robust, operationally mature and commercially successful while still making its users more dependent and concentrating power elsewhere. This talk connects the practical challenge of escaping Proof-of-Concept Prison with the politics of putting AI into production. Because shipping is never merely the moment a prototype becomes a product. It is the moment technical choices become organizational dependencies, working conditions and power relations. The question is not only whether we can ship it, but what, and whose, system we strengthen when we do. 06:00 pm until the end of the world Networking 😅 # Code of Conduct We are committed to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all participants.

Tue, Oct 6, 5:10 PM
From Thought Experiments in Pubs | Berlin
4.7

Hi! Welcome to Thought Experiments in Pubs - Berlin edition, where you get to have deep conversations with people you've never met. The topic will be "Environment". I'll post the questions that will guide us through that topic here on the day as a comment. **Location:** [Atopia Kaffeehaus, Prenzlauer Allee 187, 10405 Berlin](https://maps.app.goo.gl/Ukuup9CTrmedrB6f9) **Attention: Atopia is introducing a 10€ minimum spend rule (sth like drink vouchers)** \*Please consider that the locations we visit do not charge us for our booking, so in return, please make sure to show your appreciation by buying drinks or snacks. * If you're signed up but can't make the event, please cancel so someone else can take your spot \*Make sure you check the right address, there is a sister pub nearby and it's not that one ☝️ **The idea:** A chance to meet and talk at a 'deeper' level, and skip the 'small talk'. **How will it work?** We will have a set of 'Thought Experiments', short, philosophical scenarios and questions, which will be discussed in groups. The conversation will flow freely, there are no strict rules, simply share and discuss your perspectives on the given topic. The thought experiments will be posted here ahead of the event. **Who should come?** Everyone! We believe that the more perspectives, the richer the conversation. This group is not about being experts in philosophy, it is about *doing* philosophy. That is, bringing our various life experiences and lenses on the world to group discussions about the human experience, the nature of reality... etc. **Do I need to bring anything?** No! Just an open, inquisitive mind. We will do 3 rounds of discussions. After the event, I would love to hear your feedback on the session. The thought experiments we will discuss are around the theme of the day. Prompts will be posted here on the day of the event. See you soon! \- Dirk *Thought Experiments in Pubs Berlin is inspired by and this page derived from [Thought Experiments in Pubs London](https://www.meetup.com/thought-experiments-in-pubs/), which originated in 2023 as a social experiment to get people together to connect at a deeper level. Thanks to Aino for bringing it to Berlin.

Scaling QA with Agentic AI : From Gatekeeper to Force Multiplier | Berlin Meetup

Scaling QA with Agentic AI : From Gatekeeper to Force Multiplier | Berlin Meetup

Wed, Oct 7, 4:00 PM
From The Test Tribe Berlin
4.5

**Scaling QA with Agentic AI : From Gatekeeper to Force Multiplier \| Berlin Meetup** Development is getting faster. But QA cannot simply scale by hiring testers at the same rate as developers. So what happens when QA changes its role? At The Test Tribe’s 13th Berlin Meetup, Mofazzal Hossain will share how Cybus has evolved QA from a traditional gatekeeping function into an advisory and system-level quality function — and how agentic AI can help make that model scalable. Instead of asking AI to simply write tests, the approach encodes testing expertise into repo-based skills that are versioned with the code, reviewed through pull requests, and executed in CI. **Event Details** * Date: 7 October 2026 * Time: 06:00 PM – 08:00 PM CET * Venue: Room 121, Building 1, 2nd Floor, Kastanienallee 82, 10435 Berlin **Session – From Gatekeeper to Force Multiplier** **[Speaker: Mofazzal Hossain, QA Lead at Cybus](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mofazzal/)** The session explores how QA teams can scale their impact by changing where and how they apply their expertise. At Cybus, tickets are explicitly routed as dev-verified, advisory, or QA-owned. Developers verify their own features against a test plan shaped and reviewed by QA, while QA focuses its capacity on system-level, non-functional, and other areas where deeper quality expertise is needed. The next layer is agentic AI: encoding QA knowledge into reusable, version-controlled skills that can move from a Jira ticket to an executable test. You’ll see how this model works in practice, including the skills currently used in production and the limitations that still require human judgment. **How This Meetup Solves Your Problem** * QA is struggling to keep pace with development? Explore a model that scales QA expertise without simply scaling headcount. * QA is becoming a bottleneck? See how explicit ownership can help distribute verification across developers, advisory QA, and QA-owned testing. * AI-generated tests aren't enough? Explore how repo-based skills can turn testing expertise into reusable automation. * Worried about trusting AI agents? Understand why outputs remain drafts until reviewed and where agents can still produce confident but incorrect results. * Not sure what governance AI testing needs? Explore the considerations that should be addressed before rolling agentic workflows out. **Why Show Up on 7 October?** * Because development speed is increasing, and QA needs new ways to scale its impact. * Because “issues found by QA” may not be the most useful measure of a modern QA team's value. * Because you’ll see how QA expertise can become part of the codebase through repo-based AI skills. * Because advisory QA can shift the focus from testing everything to applying quality expertise where it matters most. * Because understanding the limits of agentic AI is just as important as understanding its capabilities. **Become a Speaker at The Test Tribe events:** ​Wish to share your insights with the community at a future event?
