**Rust Berlin on location 🏳️‍🌈** is a new, informal in-person Rust meetup group in Berlin.

We are a interactive meetup format interested in mob coding, deep diving and problem solving together.

We build toy projects, share experiences, discuss technology and learn new cool stuff.

And you are welcome to join!

No matter if you are writing Rust production code every day, if you already contribute to Open Source projects or want to start doing so, if you use Rust in hobby projects or if you are just curious what the hype and buzz is all about, you are very welcome!

To coordinate and plan activities, please join our **[Rust Berlin on location 🏳️‍🌈](https://signal.group/#CjQKIApfEgb36v82nhIb7m6zLCQjEtSEZubR7UvywTcWZXxdEhBWxhMWNCKekvtCYX7iDRRm)**[ Signal group](https://signal.group/#CjQKIApfEgb36v82nhIb7m6zLCQjEtSEZubR7UvywTcWZXxdEhBWxhMWNCKekvtCYX7iDRRm)!

**Planned programme**

Being an informal meetup, we are open to anything between just meet and talk, explore nerd snipes and rabbit holes, mob code together, plan and build fun projects, tinker with electronics, and presentations with Q&A.

This time, substitute host Tobias is going to give participants an overview over Unicode, the history of character encodings and the pitfalls to be aware of when working with strings in Rust or any other programming language.

Furthermore, Ai will be presenting her workshop participation results from the recent Berlin Oxidize Conference: Embassy-based async embedded firmware with Slint-based touch screen UI on an Espressif M5Stack CoreS3 SE.
The device is a dual core ESP32-S3 development box with an LCD touch screen, sensors like gyroscope and magnetometer, a real time clock, a microphone, speaker and camera as well as WLAN connectivity.

For the second half of the meetup, we have no planned programme: anyone is invited to bring their projects and questions, show something, ask something, or explore a topic together. The best conversations and deepest rabbit holes can emerge out of seemingly nowhere.

**Projected upcoming meetups**

We schedule regular meetups on Thursday evening every four weeks, using the slot between the Berlin Rust Hack and Learn online meetup (every two weeks), and the Rust Nuremberg online meetup (every four weeks).

2 October 2025 is our seventh meeting. Our next projected meetings are going to occur on the following dates:

* 30 Oct 2025
* 27 Nov 2025
* 22 Jan 2026
* 19 Feb 2026
* 19 Mar 2026
* 16 Apr 2026

**Location**

The meetup location for this edition is our backup space **in Moabit, in the IN-Berlin e.V.'s community and presentation room** for up to 25 people.

Our new home-base meetup location in Mitte, which you might be familiar with from the August and September editions, is **not available this time**.

As our group might eventually outgrow the locations' size limit, we are low-key looking for bigger locations. If you know a fitting location, then please let us know in our Signal group! Another workable way might be to split the meetup into smaller, interest-specific sub-groups instead.

As the no-show rate on Meetup.com is rather high, consider showing up even if you are on the waiting list. We can't promise that there is any space left, but usually there is. So give it a shot!

**Accessibility**

The location has a wheelchair ramp, but accessibility is otherwise rather limited, especially in regard to the bathroom.

On our quest for a new and bigger location, we are going to pay special attention to accessibility.

**Community**

We aim to create a safe place for everyone and adhere to the [Berlin Code of Conduct](https://berlincodeofconduct.org/).

Inclusivity is very important to us. If you are curious about Rust, but unsure if you are welcome to join: Yes, yes you are. Please come to the meetup! If you have special needs, please get in contact, we will try to accommodate you as best we can.

We are part of [https://berline.rs/](https://berline.rs/) and like to hang out in the Berlin Rust Hack and Learn online meetup's [Matrix channel](https://matrix.to/#/!xycQxSjSAvEezkyztA:chat.berline.rs). You are very welcome to join!
