DOORS 8:00 PM, SHOW STARTS 9:00 PM BAR IS CASH ONLY Join us for a night of Epic Comedy as we bring you the cream of the crop when it comes to Berlin's established and up-and-coming comedians. Our code is quality. That means no first-timers, no hobbyists, just tried and tested comedians bringing you tight sets of original comedy. We pick our comics based solely on their ability to take you from the sprawling plains of average humour and usher you through the gates of next-level hilarity. This is a Pay-What-You Want show. This means you reserve a ticket and don't pay anything upfront. You pay what you think the show is worth at the end. We are confident in our ability to deliver a lineup and show that is worth at least 15-20 Euro and we are willing to put our money where our mouth is. Can we make it any fairer than that? Still, if you'd rather pay upfront, we also have the option of purchasing a table seat which offers you somewhere to stack your drinks and is located farther back from the stage. The call has gone out, the comics are gathering. The only question is, are you in the mood for something Epic?! Join us for the best Friday comedy live event in Berlin! Book now! PLEASE NOTE: We are unable to offer refunds within 24 hours of showtime

Welcome to Sunday Tech Coffee. This is a **networking** event for those in the tech industry in Berlin. We are usually inside and to the right. Ask the barista/bartender if you can't find us.

To build truly autonomous systems, we need to move beyond local setups. This session is about **creating a stable, containerized foundation** that allows us to abstract from infrastructure in future sprints. **The Plan:** We will containerize a basic agent and deploy it to Google Cloud Run. This creates a repeatable environment where our results can be hosted, scaled, and accessed via stable endpoints. **This is a "Lab" session. We will:** * **Show & Tell:** Briefly discuss the move from local scripts to containerized services. * **Hands-on Building:** Containerize a Python/FastAPI/JS/TS agent using Docker. * **Cloud Deployment:** Push our images to the cloud and go live on GCP. **The Format** We run our sessions like an anthology series: **Every meetup is a standalone sprint.** While we often build on previous results, each session provides a complete experience and remains fully accessible to first-time attendees. This is a high-density micro-meetup limited to 6 seats. **What you'll build** By the end of the session, you'll have: 1. **A Dockerized Agent:** A portable container containing your agent logic. 2. **A Cloud Deployment:** Your agent running on GCP Cloud Run with a public URL. 3. **Foundation for the Future:** An environment ready for Inter-Agent Communication (Sprint #5). **Schedule (Saturday, 10:00 - 13:00 CET)** * **10:00:** Quick round of introductions. * **10:15:** Intro session: Docker, Containerization, and GCP Basics. * **10:30:** **Build time:** Hands-on experimentation and Cloud Deployment. * **12:00:** Live demos + technical teardown. * **12:45:** Wrap-up + takeaways. **Prerequisites** * **Google Account:** Essential for GCP access and project setup. * **Laptop with dev setup:** Docker installed and working. * **Access to an LLM API:** (Gemini, Claude, OpenAI, etc.). * **Mindset:** This is a lab for engineers, not a tutorial. We learn by building, breaking, and iterating. **Logistics** * **Location:** We meet at my office in the Grunewald area near Martin-Luther-Krankenhaus. The exact address will be shared privately with attendees to maintain privacy. * **Capacity:** Limited to 6 seats.

**Let’s Play Football! 🌱⚽** Join us for a fun and relaxed game of football in the park. All skill levels are welcome, even those who enthusiastically chase the ball in the wrong direction! This is a very non-competitive game. The only goal is to have fun, kick the ball around, and enjoy each other's company. After the game, we will have a revitalizing vegan picnic in the park. Feel free to bring a small vegan snack to share. Prefer to just watch and hang out? That is totally okay too. Looking forward to seeing you there! **Details** 📍 Tiergarten near Brandenburger Tor (The exact location will be shared on the day of the event) 📅 22 March ⏰ 11:00 – 14:30 🌱 Please bring comfortable clothes, water, and a small vegan snack to share. ⚽ No football studs/cleats allowed. **Please note** • This event is weather-dependent. If the weather is very bad, the event may be cancelled. Please check the event page for updates. • Everyone is welcome as long as you are Vegan or Vegan curious. Let’s keep the space respectful, friendly, and inclusive.

Join this **Interview Simulation** session — to sharpen the skills for both interviews **and** architectural pitches. This time we meet in the Monbijou park. 💡 How it works The event is split into three parts: 1. **Answers for common behavioral questions** \- at the beginning\, I will read some common interview questions\, explain what they mean\, and give the correct answers\. 2. **Interview Simulation (10 minute rounds)** – One participant acts as the interviewee and answers a round of behavioral and design-focused questions. Each other participant gets to ask him one interview question. 3. **Feedback Round** – The group provides feedback on communication, structure, and clarity. Constructive criticism is encouraged. 💡You will be asked: * **Behavioral questions** (“Tell me about yourself”, “Describe a challenge you faced...”) * **Technical questions** (based on your tech stack) * **Light design problems** (high-level reasoning, not code) No need to prepare anything in advance — just bring curiosity and an open mind. Feel free to bring your CV if you’d like feedback from others, or share a few words if you’re currently job hunting. If so, we will also brainstorm answers to more common questions that you were asked. Whether you’re preparing for an interview or simply want to grow as a software designer or architect, this session is for you.

Chitta Walks is for people whose days move fast, while the mind never fully lands. Thoughts keep looping even when nothing is urgent. The body moves, but attention is elsewhere. Over time, this disconnect drains clarity and ease. This walk is a simple reset. We meet in Berlin’s Tiergarten and walk at a gentle pace. Parts of the walk are in silence, with light guidance and a few short prompts. The walk itself is the practice, bringing body and mind back into the same moment. No apps. No performance. Just a clear space to slow down and notice what is happening. If you want to slow down without withdrawing from life, join a Chitta Walk. ✨ **What to expect (approx. 90 minutes):** * A short arrival and orientation * A guided silent walk (phones off, no conversation) * One concise science-based impulse on attention or stress * Optional reflection in pairs or small groups * A simple takeaway or experiment for daily life 🚶**Who this is for:** * Professionals, creatives, and people in transition. * People who feel mentally busy and want more clarity and balance. * Those curious about mindfulness, but grounded and practical. * Anyone comfortable with silence and gentle self observation. 🔔 **Practical notes:** * Duration: 60-90 minutes * Wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing * No prior experience needed * Group size is limited to keep the space quiet and focused 🧭 **Facilitator:** My name is Partha Sarathi, you can call me PS. I have lived in Berlin for over 12 years. With a background in physics and materials science, my interest in mindfulness grew through personal experience with stress and health challenges. I facilitate the space and structure of the walk, inviting shared exploration rather than instruction. 🤔 **Why Chitta Walks?** Chitta is a Sanskrit word referring to the mind or field of awareness, used here in a practical, non-religious sense. Chitta Walks is about noticing how the mind works by slowing down and walking together. Mindful walking makes thought patterns visible in real time, while moving and sensing in the world. The name points to a simple capacity: noticing what is happening in the mind without immediately trying to fix, judge, or optimize it. 🌿 **Possible effects:** A calmer nervous system. Clearer attention. A felt sense of being more present in your body. Subtle insights into how your mind reacts under everyday conditions. A quieter, more grounded way of moving through the city. **Come as you are. Walk. Notice. Leave with a little more space inside.**

The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
