**Rust Berlin on location 🏳️‍🌈** is a new, informal in-person Rust meetup group in Berlin. We are a interactive meetup format interested in mob coding, deep diving and problem solving together. We build toy projects, share experiences, discuss technology and learn new cool stuff. And you are welcome to join! No matter if you are writing Rust production code every day, if you already contribute to Open Source projects or want to start doing so, if you use Rust in hobby projects or if you are just curious what the hype and buzz is all about, you are very welcome! To coordinate and plan activities, please join our **[Rust Berlin on location 🏳️‍🌈](https://rust-berlin.zulipchat.com/join/gap4pdbz7xsquliiz7tgcyuk/)**[ Zulip chat](https://rust-berlin.zulipchat.com/join/gap4pdbz7xsquliiz7tgcyuk/)! **Planned programme** Being an informal meetup, we are open to anything between just meet and talk, explore nerd snipes and rabbit holes, mob code together, plan and build fun projects, tinker with electronics, and presentations with Q&A. With the [introduction](https://berline.rs/2026/04/01/berlin-talks.html) of the new [Rust Berlin Talks](https://berline.rs/about#rust-berlin-talks) meetup series, **[Rust Berlin on location 🏳️‍🌈](https://berline.rs/about#rust-berlin-on-location)** strengthens its focus on social community experience, the exchange of knowledge, ideas and perspectives, and the joy of spontaneity. This time, we will try a new interactive discussion format: Jonas will introduce the topic of *The Job Market and AI* with an impulse presentation, then open up a moderated discussion with all participants. Let’s see where this hot topic leads us! If someone brings other cool stuff, questions or problems, then let us dedicate the second half of the meetup time to that! Anyone is invited to bring their projects and questions, show something, ask something, or explore a topic together. The best conversations and deepest rabbit holes can emerge out of seemingly nowhere. **Projected upcoming meetups** We schedule regular meetups on Thursday evening every four weeks, using the slot between the Berlin Rust Hack and Learn online meetup (every two weeks), and the Rust Nuremberg online meetup (every four weeks). 19 March 2026 is our twelfth meeting. Our next projected meetings are going to occur on the following dates: * 16 Apr 2026 * 14 May 2026 (tentative, public holiday) * 11 Jun 2026 * 9 Jul 2026 * 6 Aug 2026 * 3 Sep 2026 **Location** Our meetup location is the new shared office community space of Ferrous Systems, Slint and KDAB in Berlin Mitte, for up to 25 people. We are expecting to use this space as our default location for the time being, with the IN-Berlin e.V. community space in Moabit as backup. Regardless, as our group might eventually outgrow the locations' size limit, we are low-key looking for bigger locations. If you know a fitting location, then please let us know in our Signal group! Another workable way might be to split the meetup into smaller, interest-specific sub-groups instead. As the no-show rate on Meetup.com is rather high, consider showing up even if you are on the waiting list. We can't promise that there is any space left, but usually there is. So give it a shot! **Accessibility** The location has an elevator and a wheelchair accessible bathroom. Please note that the bathroom is two floors down from the meetup space. On our quest for a bigger location, we are going to pay special attention to accessibility. **Community** We aim to create a safe place for everyone and adhere to the [Berlin Code of Conduct](https://berlincodeofconduct.org/). Inclusivity is very important to us. If you are curious about Rust, but unsure if you are welcome to join: Yes, yes you are. Please come to the meetup! If you have special needs, please get in contact, we will try to accommodate you as best we can. We are part of [https://berline.rs/](https://berline.rs/) and like to hang out in the Berlin Rust Hack and Learn online meetup's [Matrix channel](https://matrix.to/#/!xycQxSjSAvEezkyztA:chat.berline.rs). You are very welcome to join!

## The Wild Page: Creative Art Journalling Workshop (Mixed Media & Doodling) ***Layered art journalling for joy, flow, and creative rest.*** 📅 **Sunday 22 March 2026** ⏰ **16:00 – 18:30** 📍 **Ohma Studio, Boxhagener Strasse 110, Berlin** 💶 **€55 Booking Link [HERE](https://littleartberlin.com/shop/art-journaling-workshop-berlin-march-2026)** 👥 **Small group — only 8 places** The Wild Page is a relaxed 2.5-hour art journalling workshop where you’ll explore paint, collage, doodling and mixed media to create layered, expressive pages. Led by Harriet, art educator and creative coach, the session blends simple prompts and guided exercises with open creative time. Think of it as an analogue reset before the week begins again — slowing down, making with your hands, and following curiosity on the page. No art experience needed. *** ### What we’ll do We begin with rhythmic mark-making and short doodle meditations to ease into creative flow and gently settle the mind. Then we start building layers: • paint creates a starting surface • collage introduces new directions • lines, marks and words appear and disappear Pages may be folded, cut into or reworked so the surface keeps evolving. The process is responsive rather than planned. Instead of aiming for a finished result, you follow what sparks interest and see where the page leads. *** ### What you’ll take away • a set of **richly layered journal pages** • **simple prompts and techniques** you can continue using at home • a sense of **creative reset and renewed curiosity** *** ### Materials Please bring an art journal (A5 or larger, ideally 140gsm paper or thicker). If you don’t have one yet, you can start one during the session using the A3 mixed-media paper provided. All art materials, tea and biscuits are included. *** ### Group size The workshop is limited to **8 participants** so the atmosphere stays relaxed and personal. *** 💶 **€55 (incl. VAT) Non-refundable. Booking link [HERE](https://littleartberlin.com/shop/art-journaling-workshop-berlin-march-2026)** All materials, tea & biscuits included. Once booked, you’ll receive a confirmation message with the session details.

Welcome, readers! Our March read is **_The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver._** The story follows Taylor Greer, a young woman from rural Kentucky who leaves home for the West, only to find herself unexpectedly becoming the guardian of an abused Native American toddler named Turtle. In Tucson, Arizona, they form a makeshift family with a diverse group of people, including Guatemalan refugees and a single mother, exploring themes of motherhood, community, belonging, and finding hope in hardship. The story blends humor with serious issues, creating a story about finding family in unexpected places. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖
