This talk walks through a practical demo of automating the full SRE lifecycle: from incident investigation to deployment validation, using Grafana MCP and the GitLab Agent Platform, and where humans still need to stay in the loop. *Serhii Vasylenko* **The Pipeline Was Green — AI Agents and CI Trust** We’ve spent years building CI/CD pipelines that tell us when code is "technically correct," but are they capable of telling an autonomous AI agent if a change is safe to apply? This talk explores a real-world incident where an AI-powered automation -- pairing Renovate with Claude Code -- successfully executed a "green" pipeline that broke a critical QA cluster for three days, how the team reacted, and how we evolved our vision toward the future of human-agentic collaboration with code. *Frithjof Hoffmann* **Managing Uninvited Guests: Securing Open Source Dependencies** Open source software is the ultimate neighborhood party, but what happens when an uninvited guest slips through the door? This talk digs into the messy reality of dependency hell and its role in software supply chain security: from typosquatting attacks to maintainer account takeovers, and the abandoned projects with known CVEs quietly living in your codebase rent-free.

You were hired by Spaniard Captain de Ordaz (who's accompanied by the somewhat creepy Mother Iris) to learn about the fate of a previous expedition and recover its treasures. After getting stranded on a British controlled island, you acquired a sloop you set sail for St Martin's and have recovered both halves of the treasure map. This is an ongoing campaign but we have space for 1 or 2 folks to drop in either just for this session or perhaps for more. Diverse group, laughs over maths, beginner friendly. Check [our Discord](https://discord.gg/G89xuyCwS) for questions.

We're helping spread the word about the upcoming Berlin FinOps Foundation Meetup and would love to see more of our Meetup community there. Please note: **registration is handled by the FinOps Foundation**, not through Meetup. Secure your spot here: [https://community.finops.org/event/berlin-finops-foundation-meetup-july](https://community.finops.org/event/berlin-finops-foundation-meetup-july) The event brings together FinOps practitioners, cloud cost leaders, and community members for networking and knowledge sharing. If you're interested in FinOps, cloud financial management, or connecting with peers in the Berlin area, this is a great opportunity to join the conversation. We're also excited that Henrique Amorim, who recently started as the FinOps Foundation's EMEA Community Lead, will be joining this event. Henrique is eager to connect with the community, share ideas, and discuss the future of the FinOps community across Europe. Bring your questions, feedback, and thoughts on where the community should go next. Register via the FinOps Foundation event page above and we'll see you there.

Feeling tightness in your neck or stiffness in your lower back after a long week? This class is here to support you. In this gentle and nourishing session, we’ll focus on releasing built-up tension in the neck, shoulders, and back through mindful movement, deep stretching, breathwork, and moments of stillness. You’ll leave feeling lighter, more open, and more connected to your body. This class is open to all levels – whether you’re new to yoga or experienced – and especially beneficial for those who spend long hours sitting, working at a desk, or holding stress in the upper body. **Spots are limited — book your mat and kickstart your weekend with us!** https://www.eversports.de/org/activity/aa53880a-8d55-4506-a282-537ebaebcb24

Pilates is a system of repetitive exercises performed on a yoga mat or other equipment to promote strength, stability, and flexibility. Pilates exercises develop the body through muscular effort that stems from the core. The technique cultivates awareness of the body to support everyday movements that are efficient and graceful. https://www.eversports.de/org/activity/bccb7332-fa78-4ccb-9f3c-a63e61f4266e

**Lunch Break Yoga for Back and Shoulder** Lunch Break Yoga for Back and Shoulders is a gentle, refreshing session designed to release tension and restore comfort during the middle of your day. This class focuses on simple stretches and mindful movements that target the back, shoulders, and neck—areas that often become tight from sitting, working at a desk, or daily stress. The movements help improve posture, increase mobility, and relieve built-up tension. Breathing techniques are also included to calm the mind and bring renewed energy for the rest of the day. You return to your routine feeling lighter, more mobile, and mentally refreshed. Perfect for anyone looking to reset the body and mind during a busy day https://www.eversports.de/org/activity/e70b8b09-501a-48ab-91fc-cebd5859a885

Du hast gerade alles hinter dir gelassen, was dich mal ausgemacht hat – und weißt noch nicht, wer jetzt da ist, wo du stehst? Dann bist du hier genau richtig. Du musst nichts erklären, nichts vorbereiten, nichts schon wissen – komm einfach so, wie du gerade bist. Wir gehen den 1. Schritt in deine neue Zukunft gemeinsam. Wir setzen uns zusammen. Atmen durch. Kommen an. Dann gehen wir los, mit Reflexionsfragen im Gepäck und offenem Herzen. Am Ende sitzt du wieder im Kreis. Mit einem ersten Schritt für dich. Und dem Wissen: Du bist nicht allein. Bitte bring mit:
- eine Decke o.ä. zum draufsetzen
- dein Journal/Tagebuch
- einen Stift
- Wasser Treffpunkt:
Wir treffen uns am Ausgang der U-Bahn Station Treptower Park auf der Seite zum Park. Wir werden ein Schild dabei haben, wo "YOU-WALK" drauf steht.
Bitte komm ein paar Minuten früher, damit wir pünktlich um 17 Uhr losgehen können. Hi und schön, dass du hier bist.
Wir sind Julia und Malve - beste Freundinnen, die beschlossen haben, etwas für Frauen zu verändern. Deshalb haben wir den YOU-Walk ins Leben gerufen. Denn wir standen beiden schon genau an diesem Punkt im Leben, wo alles Kopf steht, alles sich aus dem Leben verabschiedet hat - und nun der Trümmerhaufen vor einem liegt. Damals haben wir beide uns noch nicht gekannt und sehr einsam gefühlt. Niemanden an unserer Seite, der uns versteht oder uns da heraushelfen kann.

Doch wir haben es geschafft, unser Leben hat sich komplett verändert und nun haben wir es zu unserer Aufgabe gemacht, anderen Frauen durch diese Zeit zu helfen und ihnen zu zeigen, dass da niemand allein durch muss.

Wir freuen uns darauf, dich persönlich kennenzulernen und mit dir auszutauschen. Falls du noch eine andere Frauen kennst, die nach so einer Gruppe suchen und gerade Halt in ihrem Leben brauchen, dann teile unser Event gerne weiter. Danke dir, dass du die Welt zu einem besseren Ort mit mehr Liebe machst ♥️
