Deep Reinforcement Learning

A small NEXUS gathering built around movement rather than discussion alone. This is for high-bandwidth Mavericks who spend most of their time in conceptual thought and need some physical counterweight. Why bouldering? Because it’s deliberate: short problems, full focus, and immediate feedback. You’re on the wall, solving something tangible. The mental noise drops instantly! Conversations happen naturally in between climbs. No pressure, you move at your own pace. Some exchanges stay light. Others go deep. Both are fine. This is not about athletic achievement. It’s about presence, recalibration, and being around people who don’t require you to shrink or translate yourself. Come as you are. Try some bouldering problems. Rest when needed, and engage where it makes sense. **Bring comfortable clothes and climbing shoes if you have them (rentals are available at the gym).** *Registration equals commitment. If you sign up, you show up. Read the group description first and decide consciously. For context about NEXUS, visit our* ***[website](https://thenexusformula.com)*** *and* ***[newsletter](https://news.thenexusformula.com)****.*

Slow down and reconnect with your body through deep, meditative stretches held for several minutes. This class targets the connective tissues - ligaments, joints, and fascia - to increase flexibility and release stored tension. Perfect for calming the mind, improving mobility, and finding stillness after a busy day. This class is held in English and is beginner-friendly. Feel free to bring your own mat or use one of ours.

**RSVP via Meetup is mandatory to attend the event, due to limited capacity.** Talk & Play is a free event that provides the opportunity to game enthusiasts, players and makers to meet in a friendly, relaxed and safe environment. Everybody's welcome, regardless of their background and knowledge level: if you've got any interest in games, we'll make sure you have a good time! This is NOT an event only aimed at developers. The event series is funded by [Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg](https://www.medienboard.de/) and sponsored by [Happy Broccoli](https://www.happybroccoligames.com/), the Berlin indie game studio behind the Duck Detective series. A huge thank you to both for their support! • • • • • **HOW IT WORKS** The event is made of 2 parts: * TALK: Game-related presentations + announcements from the community * PLAY: All participants are welcome to exhibit projects they've made • • • • • **AGENDA** * **18:30** Doors open, project showcase starts * **19:30 to 20:30** Talks & community announcements * **22:00** Event ends • • • • • **THE TALK PART (PRESENTATIONS)** **Sebastian Möring: Precarious Pixels. Artistic Computer Game Photographs as Media of Care** Many artistic computer game photographs address the presence and absence of care. I would like to show in this talk that they themselves become describable as media of care. The notion of care offers a possibility to view the multitude of artistic in-game photographic works through the lens of one theme and thereby bring them into a coherent context. *Sebastian Möring is a professor of game design at Macromedia University and a media and culture scholar with a PhD in game studies focusing on game aesthetics and philosophy, in-game photography, and green game studies.* [sebastianmoering.com](https://sebastianmoering.com/) // [Macromedia University](https://www.macromedia-fachhochschule.de/de/menschen/sebastian-moering/) After the talk(s) there will be a section dedicated to short announcements from the community, get in touch to reserve a spot: info@berlingamescene.com — same goes if your company is hiring or wants to announce something and you'd like to get a sponsored slot! • • • • • **THE PLAY PART (SHOWCASE)** These are the projects that will be shown during the evening: * **[A permanent echo](https://store.steampowered.com/app/3727200/a_permanent_echo/)**[ ](https://store.steampowered.com/app/3727200/a_permanent_echo/)by Three More Years * **[AFLOME](https://team-blimmm.itch.io/aflome)** by Team BLiMMM * **[Catch That Bus](https://thephantomdriver.itch.io/catch-that-bus-prototype)** by Nael Bachmaann * **[Che Casino](https://chef-andre.itch.io/che-casino)** by Turboschmuser * **[Echoes: Berlin](https://www.instagram.com/echoes__berlin/)** by Stijn Verstraete * **[Haunted Cleaner](https://headkino.cargo.site/games-haunted-cleaner-1)** by HeadKino Games * **[Hunting the Hunter](https://greenwavegames.webflow.io/)** by Green Wave Games * **[Ideologies of Magical Inquiry](https://phi-wi.itch.io/imi)** by Sophie Wilken * **[Incrementoad](https://vennnot.itch.io/)** by Vibe & Sync * **[Jumpless](https://ooleks111.itch.io/thereisnojump)** by Team Lobster * **[Oh Apollo!](https://store.steampowered.com/developer/bluebackpack)** by Blue Backpack * **[Realm Clash - GO!!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOsTD1LGRZ8)** by PhantoPaw * **[Saber Surfers](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/morphcat-games/triple-jump-a-platformer-multi-cartridge-for-the-nes)** by Morphcat Games * **[Saloon Tycoon](https://schleuder.games/)** by Schleuder Games * **[Sound Memory](https://github.com/lislis/sound-memory)** by lislis * **[Super Head Ball](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1579000/)** by Seth van Heijster * **[Swimpossible!](https://store.steampowered.com/app/3819490/Swimpossible/)** by Arcane Cabinet * **[Topic Kaleidoscopic](https://2026.award.amaze-berlin.de/games/2026/topic-kaleidoscopic)** by Anna Jonudottir * **[Tulip Season](https://store.steampowered.com/app/4067890/Tulip_Season/)** by Tatiana Kartashova * **[Untitled Car Twinstick Shooter Roguelike](http://iinacho.itch.io/)** by Nacho * **[Winnie-the-Pooh: Black Honey](https://store.steampowered.com/app/3687480/WinniethePooh_Black_Honey/)** by J6 Games * **[With a HEART and a GUN \[...\]](https://wiswis.itch.io/heartgunshoot)** by Wis • • • • • **ADDITIONAL INFO** Since restarting the event in 2023 we have asked attendees to wear a face mask.

Projekt Drasi ist ein noch ganz frisches Open Source Projekt von Microsoft, das den Gedanken des Complex Event Processings neu aufgreift. Dabei geht es im Kern darum, Datenveränderungen in Softwaresystemen zu erkennen und darauf entsprechend reagieren zu können. In neu zu entwickelnden Systemen würde man dies mit Event Sourcing oder technischen Lösungen "from Scratch" realisieren, aber was ist mit Bestandssystemen? Wie schafft man es dort, die auftretenden Veränderungen zu erfassen und vor allem, warum möchte man darauf reagieren? Ich möchte in diesem Talk zeigen, wie man mit Hilfe von Drasi, ein Monolith Legacy System in ein Micro Service System einbetten oder umwandeln kann.

We're super excited to see our guest now stepping into the presenter's role. About his keynote: "You have data, analysts, and business use cases. But you can't simply stitch them together with spreadsheets, SQL queries, and Python scripts and still expect business users to trust the dashboards. To ensure data quality, reliability, security and freshness, you need a well organised set of tools and processes: a Data Platform. In this presentation, I will explain how the Data Platform at Flink was built, outline its high-level architecture, and describe the key products, tools, and processes that enable us to operate over a thousand data models and maintain full visibility into the current state of the business." **Sneha Nafade: *"AI Agents & Agentic Deployment"*** [Sneha Nafade](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sneha-nafade/) is a Cloud Architect at [Diconium](https://diconium.com/en/?utm_term=&utm_campaign=2025+%7C+Remarketing+%7C+DE/EN+%7C+All+Visitors&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&hsa_acc=9083156072&hsa_cam=23281606208&hsa_grp=&hsa_ad=&hsa_src=x&hsa_tgt=&hsa_kw=&hsa_mt=&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23483494785&gbraid=0AAAAADQqBJ6jY8TgZt7Ocjy37F5Gup62I&gclid=CjwKCAiAkbbMBhB2EiwANbxtbfuZyXSVyFENwFuHv9tAcygFWNM24hiXlk3rvKVpwBFfM__jFEBHBRoCMpsQAvD_BwE) with a rich experience in Cloud & Cybersecurity Architecture & Engineering.

Hello fellow Symfonians, we are thrilled to announce the first user group meeting of the year, featuring two insightful talks that you **won't want to miss**! This time we are hosted by c-base (Rungestrasse 20 10179 Berlin). Come by and enjoy an evening of learning, networking, and socializing with fellow Symfony and PHP developers. **Agenda:** 18:30: Doors open 19:00: Welcome and Introduction 19:20: **Talk 1: "Agentic coding with OpenCode" by Damijan Cavar** 19:50: Break & Snack 20:00: **Talk 2: "Composer Deep Dive" by Nils Adermann** 20:40: Socializing **Talk Details:** **Talk 1: "Agentic coding with Opencode" by Damijan Cavar** Summary (ChatGPT generated): AI coding assistants are evolving beyond “vibe coding” toward **agentic, spec-driven development**. This talk explores why prompt-based workflows break down at scale and how structured specifications create a reliable foundation for autonomous coding agents. You’ll see how **OpenCode**, an open-source, model-agnostic coding agent, uses planners, implementers, and reviewers to turn specs into verifiable code while keeping context small and repeatable. The session also covers practical security considerations, sandboxing strategies, and real-world lessons from using agents on non-trivial projects. **Talk 2: "Composer Deep Dive" by Nils Adermann** This talk will take the audience on a deep dive into Composer. We'll start on the surface with the big picture of Composer (how exactly do require/update/install relate to json/lock/vendor), followed by commands and arguments not widely known and used (e.g. bump, why/why-not, update options like --with-all-dependencies, --minimal-changes, and --ignore-platform-req=php+ and what exactly the plus means). We'll then advance to the underlying concepts like the platform repository, security concepts around Composer plugins and answer questions like "Why is there a hash in the lock file and how to resolve conflicts?", or "Why do repositories need to be defined on the root composer.‎ json?" and finally reach into dependency resolution with a quick explainer on how Composer uses a SAT solver and boolean algebra to decide which packages to install. Back above water, the talk will end with an outlook on changes we're planning for Composer and [packagist.org](http://packagist.org) in the future. Don't miss these insightful talks, engaging discussions, and networking opportunities. We can't wait to see you at the **February Symfony User Group**!" If you have any questions or accessibility requirements, please reach out to us. Also, if your company wants to be the next host for the User Group, just let us know!

**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** *Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit: From Intent to Implementation* Spec-driven development flips the traditional workflow on its head: instead of code being the source of truth, the specification becomes the backbone of design, collaboration, and delivery. In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA

If you enjoy knitting, crocheting, working with yarn, this is the group for you. Meet new friends, bring your projects, learn from others.
We normally meet a few times a month during the week from 6-8pm. We will occasionally meet on weekends during daytime hours.

We will show a variety of methods for building agents that run in Microsoft Foundry. This covers the different types of agents: Prompt, Multi, and Hosted, as well as the development lifecycle using evals and traces.

Meeting @ Improving's office in Downtown Columbus, near Cosi. Parking is paid, food & drink are free! This time we're hanging out after the long winter break. We are going to look at a group-member's project used to help learn the fundamentals of Go, and if time allows, we can take a look at how we like to build Go projects using AI.
