Together with Capgemini, we’d like to invite you to our talk in June. This time, we’ll be discussing spec-driven development with Simon Martinelli. **Spec-Driven Development in Practice: How AI Simplify Full-Stack Java** AI is transforming how we develop software, but many teams still treat code as the source of truth, leading to outdated documentation and hidden business logic. What if specifications became the single source of truth instead? This session introduces Spec-Driven Development (SDD) and the AI Unified Process (AIUP), a practical approach in which developers write clear, structured requirements, and AI generates everything else: diagrams, code, and tests. When requirements change, the system stays consistent automatically. Based on a real-world Java project built with Spring Boot, jOOQ, and Vaadin, the most productive and secure web framework for Java, you’ll see how SDD keeps business rules, data access, and UI perfectly aligned. Join this session to learn how AIUP helps Java developers deliver applications faster, with less boilerplate and more focus on what really matters: understanding the domain. Most teams still treat code as the source of truth, leading to outdated documentation and hidden business logic. In this session, you’ll learn how Spec-Driven Development (SDD) and the AI Unified Process (AIUP) let you define requirements once and generate consistent Java code, diagrams, and tests automatically. Based on a real project with Spring Boot, jOOQ, and Vaadin, this talk shows how to build faster, safer, and more maintainable full-stack Java applications. **Simon Martinelli** Simon Martinelli is a Java Champion, Vaadin Champion, and Oracle ACE Pro with over three decades of experience as a software architect, developer, consultant, and trainer. He is the creator of the AI Unified Process (AIUP) and a strong advocate of Spec-Driven Development. As the owner of Martinelli LLC, he coaches teams to get up to speed with AI-driven development. He regularly shares his insights through international conferences, articles, and his blog, Keep IT Simple (https://martinelli.ch), where he writes about AI, architecture, and modern Java development. He is also a lecturer at two universities in Switzerland, where he teaches software architecture, persistence, DevOps, and cloud-native development.

**Join us for our next Machine Learning in Healthcare meetup in Berlin — proudly sponsored by the QUEST Centre!** Pizza is still back! We are very happy to announce our speaker **Frank te Nijenhuis**, who is a PhD candidate at the ICAI Stroke Lab at Erasmus MC in Rotterdam. With a background in medicine and computer science, he develops deep‑learning models to support real‑time clinical decision-making during stroke treatment. **His talk´s title is:** **Bridging the Implementation Gap in AI for Stroke Interventions: Challenges and Opportunities** **Abstract:** In recent years, rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have led to a proliferation of AI models in medical imaging. However, despite promising performance in research settings, many of these models have yet to translate into meaningful clinical impact. In this talk, Frank will highlight several AI models developed for stroke imaging and examine the barriers that hinder their implementation in clinical practice. He will explore potential pathways to overcome these challenges and conclude with an interactive discussion on co-creation as a strategy to bridge the gap between innovation and real-world adoption. *** 📍 **Location:** “Atrium” conference room, 5th floor, Spreepalais, Anna-Louisa-Karsch-Straße 2, 10178 Berlin 🕕 **Doors open at 6:00 pm** — Talks start **at 7:00 pm!** * 6:00–7:00 pm — Arrival, food, and networking * 7:00 pm — Welcome by the hosts, followed by the talk + Q&A * 8:00 pm — More networking (and possibly more pizza) ⚠️ *Pro tip:* Sometimes only one of the four elevators is working! 📢 **IMPORTANT:** If you RSVP but later realize you can’t make it, *please release your spot* so others can join. *** This meetup is made possible with the kind support of the **QUEST Centre for Responsible Research at BIH**, who are providing both the venue and the delicious refreshments.

What happens when PMs stop watching engineers code — and start shipping themselves? You’ve probably heard the stories. Maybe you’ve already tried it in your own company. AI is changing how product teams build, collaborate, and ship — fast. Join us for an evening with product leaders sharing real-world experience building and shipping customer-facing features with AI, not just internal demos and experiments. We’ll talk about PMs opening PRs, non-devs contributing directly to production, and what actually changes when the whole team gets closer to the codebase. This event is designed for Product Managers and Product Leaders who want to understand how product roles, collaboration, and development processes are evolving in the AI era. **Agenda** 18:15 – Doors open for snacks, drinks, and networking 19:00 – Welcome from ProductTank Berlin 19:10 – Opening the PR is just the beginning, Dmitry Gorshkov 19:40 – What happened when we let non-devs into the codebase, Elena Berendeeva 20:10 – Networking 21:30 – Event ends Please note: - Please bring your IDs as you’ll need it when entering the venue. - The event is RSVP only: to enter, you must RSVP here on Meetup. - We'd like to capture the event with photographs for promotional purposes, such as sharing on LinkedIn after the event. If you have any concerns or preferences regarding this, please feel free to let us know beforehand. **Opening the PR is just the beginning** Dmitry will show how to go deep into the codebase as a PM and make it worth the effort. Crafting code is time consuming, so should PMs code instead of doing PM work? Absolutely. But you must come prepared. About the speaker [Dmitry Gorshkov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dmitrygorshkov?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_android) is a lead product manager at Finom, a Dutch fintech superapp for small businesses. Dmitry has shipped successful products at N26, Taxfix and Cut the Rope, among others - and has more than a decade of product management experience. **What happened when we let non-devs into the codebase** A year ago, we let PMs, designers, and QA contribute directly to our existing codebase using AI. What followed wasn’t just faster shipping – it was a quiet shift in how our team made decisions, handled ownership, and thought about their roles. This is that story. About the speaker [Elena Berendeeva](https://www.linkedin.com/in/berendeeva-elena?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_android) is a PM at JetBrains who spent the last few years building 0-to-1 products – through pivots, sunsets, and a lot of uncertainty. Her most recent product is Matter, an AI prototyping tool that her team – designers, QA, and engineers – used to ship directly to production. She explores AI-native workflows and the evolving role of PMs in agentic product development.

**Freedom: Self-Determination, Responsibility, and Human Dignity** Freedom is one of the most important concepts of human life, political philosophy, ethics, and modern law. It does not simply mean doing whatever one wants. Rather, freedom refers to the ability of human beings to make choices, shape their lives, and act as self-determining and responsible persons. To speak about freedom is therefore to speak about autonomy, dignity, rights, responsibility, justice, and the real conditions that make human action possible. Historically and philosophically, freedom has often been understood in different ways. One important meaning is negative freedom. This means freedom from external coercion, oppression, violence, arbitrary state power, and unjust interference. In this sense, a person is free when others do not prevent them from thinking, speaking, moving, believing, or living according to their own choices. Negative freedom is central to human rights, democracy, the rule of law, and the protection of individual life. Another important meaning is positive freedom. This refers not only to being free from interference, but also to being able to determine one’s own life consciously and responsibly. A person is truly free when they can reflect on their desires, understand their choices, develop their abilities, and act according to their own reasoned decisions. For this reason, freedom is closely connected to education, self-awareness, moral responsibility, and personal development. However, freedom cannot be understood only as an individual right. It always exists in relation to other people. My freedom must be compatible with the freedom and dignity of others. Therefore, freedom requires responsibility, respect, and limits. A free society is not a society without rules, but a society in which rules protect equal freedom for all. Law can restrict freedom, but it can also secure freedom by protecting people from violence, domination, discrimination, and injustice. Freedom also depends on social conditions. A person may formally have rights, but still lack real freedom because of poverty, lack of education, discrimination, social exclusion, economic dependency, or fear. For this reason, freedom is not only about what people are legally allowed to do, but also about whether they actually have the resources, opportunities, and recognition needed to act freely. Real freedom requires both legal protection and social possibility. Today, freedom is challenged by many modern problems: inequality, digital surveillance, algorithmic control, economic pressure, political polarization, war, insecurity, and the constant demand for productivity and self-optimization. Modern societies often give people many choices, but these choices can also create pressure, anxiety, dependency, and loss of attention. Freedom can be limited not only by open coercion, but also by invisible forms of control, social expectations, and technological influence. Freedom also has everyday and existential dimensions. It appears in the ability to have time, space, privacy, silence, rest, attention, bodily security, and the possibility of beginning again. A person is not only free when they can act, but also when they can think, pause, refuse, make mistakes, remain imperfect, and protect their inner life from constant pressure and visibility. This discussion invites a critical exploration of freedom as a moral, political, legal, social, and personal reality. Freedom is not the absence of all limits, but the ability to live consciously and responsibly within the conditions of human life. Freedom is not only what people are allowed to do; it is also the dignity, responsibility, and real possibility they need in order to shape their lives. *** 📅 Event Details 🗓️ Date: Saturday, 13 Juni 2026 ⏰ Time: 14:30 📍 Location: Hardenbergstraße 10, 10623 Berlin 📱 WhatsApp: For prep materials and directions (Group Chat) [Group Chat Bio KI](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Ba8ZAaH2Yuk6FGmD3LLO7H)

Hi everyone, join us on Sunday, June 14, at Monbijou Park for a fun afternoon all about MBTI and other interesting topics. Whether you’re deep into cognitive function theory or you just heard about MBTI this week, we’re happy to have you here. Looking forward to seeing you there! Our group aims to bring together people who are interested in self-development and self-improvement using MBTI and cognitive functions, in order to learn more about the theory and share our experiences with it. Another reason for this meetup is to meet people with whom you might potentially get along really well based on your type. This can lead to meaningful connections :)
Although the meetup is geared towards people who are interested in learning about MBTI theory and using it to improve their lives, our conversations aren’t only about that! We talk about anything and everything. So it's more like a regular social meetup with the aim of avoiding small talk :)

Join the Columbus AI community for a special event. **Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether you’re running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works. We’re interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how it’s hosted and managed, how you built it, and why you’ve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks. This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If you’d like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyone’s demonstrations. Come ready to show what you’ve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you were quoted in *Truth in Comedy*, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**! The idea behind improvised comedy is to create entire scenes from scratch. A suggestion is taken from the audience and laughter is built on the spot. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway, Make Some Noise,* or *Wild 'n Out*; it can also be done in a longer way, to tell a complicated story, like *TJ & Dave*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and FREE!) weekly comedy event, brings the games for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Afterward, many members will hang out in *Gresso's* itself and get to know each other. Not only is this a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, your public speaking, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and build relationships that will last a lifetime, and you do that while laughing your butt off! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "*Yes, And*" that you'll have a blast!

Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!

**How does a TennisColumbus Season / League run?** The league advertises the season dates and builds a queue of committed players for the season. **Kickoff Day - June 10th** The start day of the season, players are sent a kickoff email that contains important information about the league, the link where your league standings and players contact information. We guarantee 6 playing partners at your playing level, but have been averaging closer to 15+ partners in most cities. The number of different levels we run is solely based upon the number of players enrolled for the league kickoff. Typically we are running a Skilled-3.0, Competitive-3.5 and Advanced-4.0 in most cities. **Your Task - "Flexible Scheduling"** After this kickoff email is sent, it is the **player's task to communicate with other players**. Players should work with their partners to find an agreeable time and location to play the match. While TennisColumbus doesn't mandate your playing schedule, it is recommended that players schedule at least one match per week. By request of the players, we started to allow players to play 1 rematch per season. The regular season is all about playing as much as you can. As of Feb. 10, 2026 we've had an amazing 2,017 players play more than [20 matches in a season](https://www.tenniscolumbus.com/info/MatchesInSeason). **Where to Play?** Play at your local free tennis courts, tennis parks, condo courts or tennis clubs. The league strongly suggests that players jointly try to pick a tennis court location convenient to both. We provide an extensive list of [tennis courts](https://www.tenniscolumbus.com/TennisCourts), including # of courts, lighting, hitting walls, etc. We strive to keep this list up-to-date. TennisColumbus sets up a must play dates to push players out on the courts. The final deadline is the date marking the end of the season, at which point players with 3-5 wins (Actually total is specified on the division page) will qualify for a post-season playoff to determine the league champion. **How to Play?** Players can use three mostly standard playing formats: 2 out of 3 sets, 2 sets with 10 point super tie-breaker or the 10-game pro set (First to 10, used when court time is limited). On Feb. 2018, we added Fast Tennis 4 game pro set format as a valid format. **Playoffs** Each season concludes with a playoffs where players with anywhere from 3 to 5 season wins qualifies for a single elimination tourney. The champion is awarded based upon the league [Prize Pool](https://www.tenniscolumbus.com/info/prize_pool3). Each singles league champion also receives a playing entry into one of two national championships we run. **[JOIN TODAY](https://www.tenniscolumbus.com/join)** Full price is $39.95 to play in a season. The earlier you sign up we typically offer discounts during these tough economic times. Just go to the [Join Page](https://www.tenniscolumbus.com/join) and complete the short form.
