Offener Deutschunterricht - Text & Konversation - Niveau B2+ (Fortgeschritten)
In diesem Kurs beschäftigen wir uns mit verschiedenen Texten aus unterschiedlichen Bereichen. Das können u.a. kurze Geschichten, Gedichte, Zeitungsartikel, Kolumnen oder Videos sein. Immer sind es Themen, die uns gefallen, die wir besonders interessant, wichtig oder manchmal auch richtig schlecht finden. Gemeinsam versuchen wir die Position der Autor*in, den Stil und die Argumentationsstruktur zu verstehen. Dazu diskutieren wir über das, was wir verstehen, welche Meinung wir zu dem Thema haben oder welche Fragen offen bleiben.
Gerne könnt ihr uns auch Themenvorschläge mitbringen oder zuschicken.
Der Kurs richtet sich an interessierte Menschen mit einem B2-Niveau (oder so ähnlich), die Lust haben sich weiter mit der deutschen Sprache zu beschäftigen und ihren Wortschatz zu erweitern.
Die Termine sind sporadisch.
Introduction to DAX User Defined Functions (UDFs)
We are very happy to invite you to a special **in-person** Berlin Power BI User Group meetup at **TD Reply HQ**.
This time, we will be joined by **Marco Russo from SQLBI** on an exclusive session on **DAX User Defined Functions (UDFs)**.
A user-defined function is a DAX formula with parameters that can return values or tables, with parameters passed either by value or by expression. In this session, Marco will show how to define and consume user-defined functions in your semantic model, how to share them across different models, and how to use function libraries created by the community.
If you work with **Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, semantic models, or DAX**, this is a great chance to learn directly from one of the leading experts in the field. Marco Russo is co-author of **The Definitive Guide to DAX** and one of the best-known voices in the global Power BI community.
We will open the doors from **18:00**, so there will be time to arrive, grab some **food and drinks**, and connect with other people from the Berlin data community before the session starts.
As a bonus, participants will also receive a **discount coupon code** for the **[Mastering DAX Workshop Berlin](https://www.sqlbi.com/p/mastering-dax-workshop-berlin-jun-15-17-2026/)** taking place on **June 15–17, 2026**.

Authentic Games Berlin
**We are starting into a new round of having some human magic happen :)**
**What to expect at an Authentic Games Berlin event?**
Authentic Relating is embodied communication practice. We search for authenticity – staying true to your needs, feelings and boundaries – while relating to other human beings with their needs, feelings and boundaries.
**Theme of the evening: Taking Space, Giving Space**
Have you ever felt torn between needing rest at home and feeling obliged to go out, meet friends, and be part of things? Have you ever gotten stuck in a conversation where everything is about them and there seems to be no space for you? Or on the other hand, have you ever occupied a shared space in a way that leaves little room for others? The art of taking and giving space is not always easy. It calls for presence, self‑awareness, attunement, reading the room, and moving fluidly between expressing yourself and making room for others. In this session, through Authentic Relating games we will practice how to honor self and other and navigate the relational dynamics of creating shared space, where connection can unfold in a way that feels balanced for everyone.
And as usual: Come Curious - Leave Connected.
Join us on Tuesday, **16th June** 2026 at **Café Maggie**, [Frankfurter Allee 205, 10365 Berlin](http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Frankfurter%20Allee%20205%2C%2010365%20Berlin), **7–9 pm** (please come to land up to 15 minutes earlier, as we start at the full hour, doors close at 7 pm)
**Price**
The event is donation based. Cash or PayPal only, no registration needed. Suggested donation: 8-20 €. No one will be turned away due to the lack of funds.
**What to bring?**
Nothing but you. You have everything you need to take part in this experience of human connection.
**Everyone is welcome to join. Even if you are on the waitlist here on Meet-Up, please come and join us - we will have a spot for you.**
**No previous experience with Authentic Relating Practices needed.**
**Spread the word. Bring a friend - all are welcome. We look forward to seeing you there.**
**Accessibility and diversity note**
We aim to make our Authentic Games events accessible and diverse. We would like to explicitly welcome everybody, regardless of age, social background, identity, body shape, (dis)abilities etc. We put effort into dismantling biases and systems of oppressions we participate in as well as meeting various access needs. Feel free to contact us at [[authenticgamesberlin@gmail.com](http://authenticgamesberlin@gmail.com)]([mailto:authenticgamesberlin@gmail.com](http://mailto:authenticgamesberlin@gmail.com)) if you have any concerns or questions in this regard.
Authentic Games events are based on talking and listening to other people in pairs, trios or bigger groups. Depending on the number of participants, this may generate a considerable level of noise in the space.
The event is held in English with possible translation to German or Polish. While playing the game you can talk in a language you choose with your partner(s). Sometimes the games may also involve movement (for example walking). Consensual touch with other participants is allowed but never necessary.
The upcoming event is happening in Café Maggie at Frankfurter Allee 205 – next to U-Bahn Magdalenenstraße. The space is on the ground floor, but there is one small doorstep at the entrance. There is a barrier free toilet inside. Despite the name, you cannot buy drinks in Café Maggie, but we provide water and tea for participants.

Episode 3 of the 2026 Edition - The longest Kotlin night of the year
The longest day of the year is comming and let's another Kotlin meetup. This time we geather at N26!
**⚠️⚠️⚠️ Due to a venue policy please submit the following form for additional details. Without it, you won't be allowed inside the venue:**
https://forms.gle/XjqVXkD3FARCM6jA8
**Line-Up:**
👉 **TestBalloon: Kotlin testing is easier (and more fun) than you think**
*by Oliver Okrongli*
You want an easier way to write tests? Parameterize tests in plain Kotlin? Reuse a series of tests? Easily extend own your test setup? Have first-class support on all platforms? All without struggling with a huge framework API? TestBalloon is a new test framework that brings the power of Kotlin to your test setup. With a small-surface API, a hierarchical test structure and an extensible DSL, TestBalloon makes Kotlin testing easy, even at scale. Oliver, the author of TestBalloon, will show testing patterns and strategies and lots of practical examples, ranging from simple unit tests with less boilerplate to advanced testing with coroutines and generated data. This talk is based on insights first presented at KotlinConf 2026 in Munich. At the end of this talk, you’ll be able to firmly the answer the question: "How can I master Kotlin testing with ease, and make my team release with joy and confidence, every time?"
👉 **One Topic to Rule 'Em All**
*by Yonatan Karp-Rudin*
Kafka delivered every event exactly once, in order, and lost nothing. So what broke? This talk follows that question into the gap most event-driven systems leave open: what actually guarantees the order your domain depends on, and what quietly doesn't. We start from a real log line, find the crack in an architecture that looks clean and ships fast, and rule out the fix everyone reaches for first. The cure turns out to be one sentence of domain thinking plus one line of config, though the Schema Registry will fight you on the way there. A live demo runs the bug and the fix back to back: same load, same hero, one change. If you build with Kafka, you have probably shipped a version of this bug. You will leave able to spot it and fix it before it pages someone.
👉 **TBD**
**Speaker Bios:**
🗣 Oliver Okrongli
Oliver has been shaping and creating software from backend to frontends. He is the author of TestBalloon, a next-generation Kotlin test framework. Before, he has helped to maintain Kotest, and contributed to several libraries of the Kotlin ecosystem as well as the Kotlin compiler. Can be found on GitHub (OliverO2) and the kotlinlang Slack (Oliver O).
When not developing, he is most probably in deep talks, dancing, snowboarding or F18 catamaran sailing whenever he gets a chance.
🗣 Yonatan Karp-Rudin
Yonatan Karp-Rudin is a Staff Engineer at Billie, building event-driven systems in Kotlin and Spring Boot. Off the clock, he plays with AI agents and builds random tooling, trying to hand off as much of his own workflow to a machine as he can. The rest of the time he's brewing mead or deep in a video game.

CocoaHeads x 42 Berlin: iOS Community Meet-up
We are happy to invite you to our next iOS meetup. This time we cooperate with the amazing 42 Berlin to share the knowledge and experience in iOS development.
18:00 Doors open
18:30 Welcome on campus
**18:45** **— Sebastian Hagedorn, director of Engineering at Clue, presents "The Sensitive App".**
Is your app really working, or just not crashing? “The Sensitive App” reports subtle bugs regardless of origin, and validates your assumptions in production so you don’t have to resort to guessing or praying. Learn how to turn your app into the first line of defense for your entire system’s health!
**19:45** **— Dmitry Kurkin, lead Mobile Engineer at SuperNext, presents "Lessons that iOS Native Project could learn from ReactNative in agentic development".** We'll inspect the components of the React Native engine that provide faster feedback and boost agentic iterations.
💬Neurodivergent Language Meetup: German (Conversation)
Welcome! This meetup is for neurodivergent people (ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, OCD, etc.) who are learning German and want a low-pressure, structured space to practice speaking.
**Logistics:**
* 📍Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/5weyJLA7EPgscxPY7 (Gleisdreieck Park near Tor Eins cafe)
* 🎧 Bring sensory management tools (headphones, stim toys, sunglasses, etc)
* A blanket or towel to sit on
* Water and a snack
* (Optional) A notebook if you like writing things down
**How it works:**
🗣️ **Level-based small groups**
When we start, we’ll quickly split into groups based on your self-assessed level (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2).
→ **Max. 4 people per group** to keep sensory load low and speaking time fair.
⏲️ **Organizers group check**
The organizers will come around from time to time to each group and ask if you want to stay in your current group or move to a different level—either higher or lower— or if you’d like to talk in different group. We’ll help you move.
No pressure. No questions asked.
🚫 No pressure to speak every round. Just listening is fine.
🃏 **Conversation cards & prompts**
Each group gets a set of prompt cards (simple questions, situational tasks, or grammar challenges appropriate for that level). You can follow the cards or go off-script — whatever feels right that moment.
Let’s practice German in a way that actually works for our brains. ✨

LGTM Berlin
Welcome to LGTM - Programming in the Age of LLMs!

Walk of Change #1: Raus aus Unklarheit
**Kurzbeschreibung**
Afterwork-Brainwalking von ARC Live über Veränderung, Klarheit und neue Perspektiven.
**Beschreibung**
Walk of Change ist ein neues Format von ARC Live in Berlin.
Nach einem Tag voller Meetings, Mails und Bildschirme bietet der Walk of Change einen anderen Raum: Bewegung, frische Luft, gute Fragen und Austausch auf Augenhöhe.
Wir sitzen nicht vor einem Bildschirm und sprechen über Veränderung. Wir gehen los. Schritt für Schritt.
Wir nutzen Brainwalking als Methode für besseres Denken in Bewegung: Gehen, Nachdenken und Austausch verbinden sich zu neuen Perspektiven.
Der Walk of Change ist offen für alle, die Veränderung im beruflichen Kontext erleben, gestalten oder besser verstehen möchten.
Es geht nicht um einen Vortrag, keinen Pitch und keine Tool-Demo. Es geht um Bewegung, Austausch und neue Perspektiven.
**Thema dieser ersten Session:**
Raus aus der Unklarheit
**Leitfrage:**
Was hilft uns, in Zeiten von Veränderung wieder klarer zu sehen?
Du musst keinen Fall vorbereiten und kein konkretes Problem mitbringen. Du kannst den Walk nutzen, um für dich selbst nachzudenken, dich locker mit anderen auszutauschen oder tiefer über Veränderung, Klarheit und Perspektiven zu sprechen.
Unsere Route startet am **Platz des 09. November 1989**, einem Ort, an dem Veränderung in Berlin unmittelbar sichtbar wird (S-Bhf. Bornholmer Straße). Von dort gehen wir in Richtung **Bernauer Straße / Gedenkstätte Berliner Mauer**, durch einen Stadtraum, in dem Grenzen, Übergänge und Neubeginn sichtbar werden.
Der Walk ist keine Stadtführung, sondern ein geführter Reflexionsspaziergang mit einer gemeinsamen Leitfrage. Und ganz nebenbei kommen wir nach einem langen Arbeitstag wieder in Bewegung.
**Format**
Der Walk dauert ca. 2 Stunden und folgt einem einfachen, offenen Rahmen.
Wir starten mit einer kurzen Begrüßung, einer Einführung in das Format und der Leitfrage des Abends.
Danach gehen wir gemeinsam los, in wechselnden Gesprächen, kleinen Gruppen oder auch zeitweise still. Die Leitfrage begleitet den Walk, ohne dass daraus ein Workshop oder eine Beratungssession wird.
Unterwegs gibt es kurze Reflexionsimpulse oder Gesprächsfragen. Du entscheidest selbst, wie tief du einsteigen möchtest.
Zum Abschluss sammeln wir freiwillig, was jede:r mitnimmt: eine Frage, eine Beobachtung, eine Erkenntnis oder vielleicht einen nächsten Gedanken.
**Wichtig**
Bitte bring bequeme Schuhe, wettergerechte Kleidung und Neugier auf Veränderung mit.
Das Event findet draußen statt. Bei starkem Regen oder Unwetter passen wir das Format kurzfristig an.
**Treffpunkt**: Platz des 09. November 1989, Bornholmer Straße
**Ziel / Richtung**: Bernauer Straße / Gedenkstätte Berliner Mauer
**Sprache**: Deutsch
**Dauer**: ca. 2 Stunden
**Format**: Afterwork-Spaziergang, Reflexion, Austausch
**Vorbereitung**: keine notwendig
**Begleitet von:**
Anthony B. Holtz, Entwickler von ARC

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
💡 About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required.
🛠️ What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
🍕 Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site.

Smart Search + AI: An Outcome-Driven Journey from IDP to a Suite of AI
Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans.
We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans.
Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served.
This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation.
About Speaker: Cameron Williams is a Senior Technical Project Manager and cross-functional technical leader at Booz Allen Hamilton with 15+ years of experience architecting and evolving scalable, cloud-native systems, from greenfield development to complex enterprise modernization. https://www.linkedin.com/in/cameronw711/
