Communicative, collaborative and creative drawing sessions. Participants draw a central still-life that the group can create themselves until the music track finishes and then pass it to the person on their left. The drawings change hands 3 to 5 times and the end results are always inspiring. After the collaborative warm-up participants can work individually on printing techniques, Mono -printing, tetra-pack or gelli. -printing. Feel free to try out a process that you are unfamiliar with. There will always be somebody to offer advice if necessary Bring A4 paper, and favourite materials, pencils & brushes. You can also use some studio materials in exchange for a small contribution. A fun but informative approach with consistently creative results!

Looking for a low-pressure way to get offline, meet new people, and actually do something fun on a Tuesday? This is a relaxed pool night in Spandau—come for a few rounds, stay for the chats, and leave with a couple of new familiar faces. **What to expect** * Casual pool games in **rotating rounds** (so everyone gets to play) — **beginners are welcome** * A friendly vibe: meaningful conversations *and* a bit of playful pool-table silliness * We **start on time** — please arrive punctually, otherwise it’s hard to fit you into the rotation **Costs** * Your own drinks + shared table costs (depending on group size) **RSVP** Please RSVP on Meetup so I can estimate how many tables we’ll need.

Dear Community, Another month with an interesting talk right before Hamburg Summit, and we would like to hear your thoughts for the rest of the year and after. Will be pleased to have you with us on the evening! We have limited seats - 50 only - first come first served! Our dearest thanks to Lightspeed for hosting us on the evening! =================================================== 18:30 - Warming up and networking chat 18:45 - Intro by AWS UG Berlin 19:00 - 19:40 - **Elias Abud // Delegated Access Management at Scale with AWS IAM Identity Center** This talk presents a delegation architecture that enables project owners and security stakeholders to manage their own users, groups, accounts, and permission sets while maintaining central governance. The solution introduces a unified API layer that can operate across multiple Identity Center instances and enforces organizational policies and quotas. It also applies the Backpressure Pattern to control request rates and protect Identity Center from overload. Participants will learn how to implement delegated identity management at scale while balancing autonomy for teams with centralized security oversight. 19:40 - 20:00 - Networking break with food, snacks and drinks 20:00 - 20:40 - **AWS User Group - Ask Me Anything** We would like to dedicate the time and stage to you, our dearest community members to ask your questions, share your thoughts and ideas, provide feedback. This can be technical, or community related. Everyone is welcome, and we aim to address your input in the upcoming AWS Summit and more. 20:40 - 20:45 - Closing & Final Remarks =================================================== **Very Important: Only 50 seats are available for this event.** If you want to make sure you can attend: Register yourself with your "full name" here at meetup.com Arrive on time - seats are first come, first served.

**Um was geht es dieses mal?** Dieses Mal dreht sich alles um aktuelle Herausforderungen, Best Practices und Trends rund um IT-Sicherheit. Freut euch auf praxisnahe Einblicke, spannende Diskussionen und den Austausch mit Security-Expert:innen. **So leicht können Hacker Ihr Unternehmen über öffentliche Daten angreifen - Mehmet Avci (codecentric)** Jedes Unternehmen hinterlässt einen digitalen Fußabdruck – oft unbemerkt, aber öffentlich zugänglich. Genau diese frei verfügbaren Informationen machen sich Angreifer im Rahmen von Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) zunutze, um gezielte Angriffe vorzubereiten, ohne dabei technische Schutzmechanismen direkt angreifen zu müssen. In diesem Talk wird gezeigt, wie einfach es für Angreifer ist, Unternehmen allein auf Basis öffentlich verfügbarer Daten zu analysieren und zu kompromittieren. Nach einer Einführung in die Grundlagen von OSINT und die typischen Phasen eines OSINT‑Prozesses werden verschiedene Techniken vorgestellt und eingeordnet. Dazu gehören unter anderem Subdomain‑Enumeration, Google Dorking, die Auswertung von Unternehmensinformationen, Social‑Media‑Analysen, das Sammeln von E‑Mail‑Adressen sowie die Nutzung von Datenlecks und Breach‑Daten. Anhand praxisnaher Beispiele aus realen Szenarien wird verdeutlicht, wofür diese Techniken eingesetzt werden und wie Angreifer die gewonnenen Informationen miteinander kombinieren, um detaillierte Profile von Organisationen, Infrastrukturen und Mitarbeitenden zu erstellen. Der Vortrag schärft das Bewusstsein dafür, wie aus scheinbar harmlosen Einzeldaten ein ernstzunehmendes Sicherheitsrisiko entstehen kann – und warum OSINT ein zentraler Bestandteil moderner Angriffe ist. **This is fine - until it's not - Christian Uhsat (codecentric)** Was passiert, wenn was passiert? Erfahrungsberichte aus Digitaler Forensik und Incident Response im Kampf gegen Cybercrime, Ransomware und den allgemeinen Wahnsinn. **Hybrides Setup!** Wir freuen uns, euch bei uns in den Räumen der codecentric AG in Dortmund willkommen zu heißen. Vor Ort versorgen wir euch mit Snacks und Getränken und freuen uns gleichzeitig über interessante Diskussionen und einen guten Austausch. Für alle, die es nicht zu uns ins Office schaffen, werden wir das Meetup Hybrid durchführen. Der Stream beginnt ca. 10 Minuten später, damit wir vor Ort ausreichend Möglichkeit für persönliches Kennenlernen haben. Den Live-Stream findet ihr auf dem [YouTube-Channel ](https://www.youtube.com/@codecentricAG)der codecentric AG. **Wichtig - Absage bitte rechtzeitig:** Wir bestellen das Essen bereits 3 Tage vor dem Meetup. Falls ihr doch verhindert sein solltet, bitten wir euch um eine rechtzeitige Absage. Das ist wichtig, damit wir nicht unnötig Essen verschwenden müssen. Vielen Dank für euer Verständnis! **Anreise:** Per Zug: Vom Dortmunder HBF sind es ca. 10 Minuten zu Fuß. Mit dem Auto: Rund um das Office gibt es einige Parkflächen, dazu befinden sich in dem Parkhaus der Thier-Galerie weitere Parkplätze.

Classes every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 19:00 to 21:00. **!!SIGN UP HERE**: [Katori Shinto-ryū Berlin Sign-up (google.com)](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeBt4A13VgnEcgQQ2PDaruthmYMRWineG4KtUCKsuC9KBsCUQ/viewform) Registration is required before your participation so that we can prepare enough training equipment. **Address**: Belziger Str. 25, 10823 Berlin. **No previous experience required!** The classes are in English and German. **Our website**: [Kenjutsu Berlin - Official school of Katori Shinto-ryu in Berlin (katoriberlin.org)](https://katoriberlin.org/) **Katori Shintō-ryū** is one of the oldest Japanese sword fighting traditions (koryū) still practised today and is recognized by the Japanese government as a cultural intangeable asset. The school was founded in the middle of the 15th century by Iizasa Chōisai Ienao at the Katori Shrine (Katori jingū) and has become the origin of numerous other martial arts schools over the course of its almost 600-year history. The training consists of the continuous repetition of fixed sequences of movements (kata) and includes the use of classic Japanese weapons such as the sword (iai-jutsu, battō-jutsu, ken-jutsu, ryōtō-jutsu, kodachi-jutsu), the long staff (bō-jutsu), the lance (naginata-jutsu) and the spear (sō-jutsu), as well as unarmed disciplines, tactics and spiritual aspects. **The Katori Berlin dojo** is the only official shibu of Otake Nobutoshi-shihan’s dojo Shinbukan in Germany and fully dedicated to the transmission and study of one martial tradition: Tenshinshō-den Katori Shintō-ryū. Through these efforts we aim to contribute to the cultural preservation of this martial tradition. The dojo has one officially appointed shidosha. **Our sensei**: Sebastian Graetz has been active in martial arts since 1997. After almost 15 years of taekwondo in Berlin, he started with Katori Shintō-ryū in Asia in 2014. Since then, he has studied in Japan with Ōtake Risuke-shihan and Ōtake Nobutoshi-shihan, and in Vietnam with Malte Stokhof-shihandai. In 2023, he received his Menkyo license and permission to set up a training group in Berlin the following year.

Connected Westerville Night of Networking flips the script on networking, with surprises and connections that'll make you say, "Who knew networking could be this much fun?!"

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!

**Total Eclipse of the Chart: School Redistricting Dashboards** In this presentation, we will explore the utilization of maps, sets, and SQL within a Tableau dashboard to help provide “what-if” analyses generated through the use of a mapped dashboard, providing different scenarios and the potential implications of these. While in this use case we are focused on a large school district, the concepts of utilizing existing data to explore the future impacts of modifying different geographic boundaries can be useful to many industries, balancing the mix of maps with visual analytics. **About Our Speaker** Robert Kramer is the Data Systems and State Reporting Coordinator at South Western City Schools in Grove City.
