Bike Commuting Berlin

Cinematic sunset ride

**Let's embrace the early sunset and the glowing city lights for our second queer bike ride!!!** We'll take an easy ride straight into the heart of the city. We'll meet on Frankfurter Allee (near Samariterstr.), then cruise straight down the massive, well-lit bike lanes of Karl-Marx-Allee. With good weather, we should get a nice view of the TV tower, then do a loop around Museum Island to catch the beautifully floodlit Berliner Dom. Aaaaand at the end of our sunset adventure, we'll stop at TheCoven Bar for some drinks and socializing. It's gonna be roughly 45–50 minutes of riding on flat, very wide, separated bike lanes. Chill and easy pace of 15–18 km/h. And ofc you are welcome with any bike you have :) **Bring lights!** Since sunset is around 18:45, it will get dark during the ride. We want to be super visible and safe riding as a group. A jacket is also a must, as the evenings are getting quite crisp now. Whether you made it to the first ride or are joining us for the very first time, you are incredibly welcome. Can't wait to ride with you all again! * **Meeting point**: Frankfurter Allee / Proskauer Str. (We will meet right on the wide pedestrian corner at [this point](https://www.google.com/maps/place/52%C2%B030'56.4%22N+13%C2%B027'36.4%22E/@52.5156613,13.4601154,17z/?utm_source=gemini)).

🚲Berlin Relaxed Cycling- Wannsee Ferry Ride + Museum + Coffee

📅 Saturday, 3 Oct 🕥 Meeting time: 10:45 📍 Meeting point: S Wannsee ⛴️ Ferry departure: 11:00 sharp 🚴 Cycling distance: approx. 16 km ✈️ Museum visit: approx. 1 hour ☕ Finish: Café near the ferry Join us for another relaxed Saturday bike ride around Wannsee! We’ll meet at S Wannsee at 10:45 and then take the ferry across the water before starting the ride. Please arrive on time, as the ferry leaves at 11:00 sharp and we don’t want anyone to miss it. ⛴️ Once we’re across, we’ll ride approximately 16 km, which should take us around one hour at our usual relaxed, social pace. Along the way, we’ll stop to visit a military aviation museum with lots of planes and aircraft to explore ✈️. We’ll spend roughly one hour there before continuing the final part of the route. Free entry. Afterwards, we’ll finish at a café close to the ferry location, where we can finally sit down, have coffee, cake and relax together. ☕🍰 This is not a race. The idea is to enjoy the ride, meet people and have a nice Saturday together. We’ll ride as a group and no one gets left behind. A few things to keep in mind: • Please bring your own bike in safe, working condition. • Any type of bike is welcome as long as you’re comfortable riding around 16 km. • Bring some water and anything else you may need during the ride. • Helmets are strongly recommended. • Please follow traffic rules and ride safely. • Everyone joins at their own risk and responsibility. • Most importantly: please be at S Wannsee by 10:45, because the ferry leaves at 11:00 sharp. See you there! 🚲⛴️🌿✈️☕

Erste Treff der Laufgruppe Weissensee

Der erste Treff der Laufgruppe Weissensee. Wir treffen uns um 17.30 Uhr am Eingang des Strandbads Weissensee. Wir laufen 3-5 Runden um den See, so gut wie die Dunkelheit es uns ermöglicht. Wer Lust hast noch mehr zu laufen, kann gerne noch durch die Nebenstraßen mit mir weiterziehen.

Pipelines, Privacy & the Collector Fleet: Real-Time Data Done Right

Join us for an evening with two talks, one theme: data flowing at scale — and handling it responsibly. From architecting your OpenTelemetry Collector fleet across edge-to-gateway topologies, to protecting PII in real-time Kafka pipelines — practical patterns, live demos, and a few privacy war stories along the way. Food and drinks on us — stick around after for networking. ✍️ RSVP soon — capacity is limited! 📅 **Date and Time** Thursday, October 15, 2026 from 18:00-20:45 📍 **Location** [EBCONT office, beyond Quartier Heidestrasse, 34, 10557 Berlin](https://maps.app.goo.gl/aQGPgteqhQ2yrmx96) 📝 **Agenda** 18:00 – Doors open, arrivals and check-in 18:20 – Welcome note by EBCONT 18:30 – **Keeping data private in real-time pipelines** by [Olena Kutsenko](https://www.linkedin.com/in/olenakutsenko/), Confluent *Real-time data — clicks, payments, messages — is full of personal information we're not supposed to leak. The challenge: how do we keep streaming data useful and safe at the same time?* *We'll explore practical privacy protection patterns in streaming systems using Kafka, Flink, and Iceberg — from masking and tokenizing PII, to why "anonymous" data often isn't, to techniques like k-anonymity and noise injection. With real-world deanonymization stories and live demos included.* 19:00 – Q&A & quick break 19:15 – **From Edge to Gateway: architecting your OpenTelemetry Collector deployment** by [Marcin "Perk" Stożek](https://www.linkedin.com/in/perk-marcin-stozek/), Elastic *As OpenTelemetry adoption scales, the Collector becomes your observability backbone — but deploying it effectively means knowing what to run and where.* *We'll cover the full Collector fleet lifecycle: demystifying binaries (standard, EDOT, and custom OCB builds), mapping deployment topologies from edge agents to centralized gateways, and tackling fleet management at scale — from static configs to dynamic orchestration with OpAMP.* 19:45 – Pizza, drinks & networking \*\*\* Invite your friends and join us for an evening of learning and networking with fellow engineers and speakers! Thank you to **EBCONT** for hosting us!

Bouldering Session

Have you always wanted to learn bouldering but never had the right company? Or are you an experienced boulderer who just wants to find boulder-buddies? If yes, this is the right event for you. We are going to meet inside "urban apes Basement Boulderstudio", close to S Anhalter Bahnhof, also not far from Potsdamer Platz. If you have never been there, you will need to sign up with them, which will take a bit of time. After that, **you can find us on the couches near the lockers (not in front of the reception), next to a red smiley**. When you enter the actual gym, enter the hall by turning left immediately - you are walking towards them. We will start warming up around 11:10, so everyone has enough time to arrive and get changed before that. ***\*\*\**** *Spots are limited, so please update your RSVP at least 24 hours in advance if you won't be joining. **NO-SHOWs ARE NOT COOL \*\*\**** We enter the gym at 11:00, if you are late, you will need to look for us inside. IMPORTANT: they only accept cards as a payment method. No cash. One day ticket will cost you 13,90 EUR (10,90 EUR if you are a student, free if Urban Sports Club). **What to bring: well, first of all, a good mood.** But you could also bring * climbing shoes if you have any. If not, you can rent them there, no worries. They cost 3,50 EUR. * a lock (for the locker). * chalk. You won't need that if you are a beginner. Renting is possible. * water. * extra clothes. It's quite chalky there and humans sweat, not the best mix, don't you think? :D Please, note: the organizer is not responsible for anything, including injuries. A basic introduction will be provided.

Liftclub Meetup : Coffee & Chat ☕💪

Welcome to Liftclub! Other sports have built in communities: running crews, cycling clubs, casual football groups. But gym-goers usually train solo and never meet each other. This group is here to fix that. It's a space for people who lift or train regularly to connect, swap tips, find training partners, and actually make friends who get the gym life. This meetup is simple. No workouts, no pressure, just a relaxed afternoon connecting gym goers over coffee. What to expect: * Casual hangout, come as you are (gym clothes welcome, no need to have trained beforehand) * Grab a coffee or a bite when you get there. Let's support the spot for hosting us! * Quick round of intros: your name, your gym, how long you've been lifting 📍 ESPERA Cafébar, Pannierstraße 6, 12045 Berlin 🕓 Saturday, Sep 5, 16:00–18:00 For more read the Group Description :)

Hike & dine - Anna's Food Board [16km]

A Java 8 lambda and JobRunr is all you need for distributed (batch) processing!

The Java User Group Berlin-Brandenburg and our partner [codecentric](https://www.codecentric.de/) invite you to the talk **A Java 8 lambda and JobRunr is all you need for distributed (batch) processing!** by Ronald Dehuysser on **October the 7th, 2026**. **A Java 8 lambda and JobRunr is all you need for distributed (batch) processing!** (Ronald Dehuysser): Are you struggling with CPU-intensive tasks, high I/O work, or do you need to schedule background jobs without blocking the rest of your system? I often see teams building a scheduling solution themselves, severely underestimating the complexity of running jobs asynchronously. A costly endeavour, especially with a simple, free and open-source solution readily available. Find out more at https://jug-berlin-brandenburg.de/blog/2026/jobrunner/
