**\*\*\*Look for us in the second-gloor bar & lounge! Just past the "fireplace" seating area.\*\*\*** Writing can feel like a solitary experience, but it doesn't have to be! Writing in the company of others can be surprisingly inspiring, productive, and comforting. Writers of all types and levels are welcome. Whether you're writing a novel, a memoir, poetry, journaling, working on your thesis, or even catching up on emails, all are welcome. We do things a little differently on Monday evenings. We start with an introduction round, then we will do 45 minutes of writing, break and share how it went, and then dive into the next 45-minute session. **For space reasons, we are limited to a certain number of attendees, so please update your RSVP if you can't come**. In between sessions, we have a Telegram chat: [https://t.me/joinchat/ERW3pxD5kfELGeWs9SUhjw](https://t.me/joinchat/ERW3pxD5kfELGeWs9SUhjw) For more information, visit [https://shutupwrite.com](https://shutupwrite.com/).

Liebe Rhetorikfreunde, Habt ihr Lust, die Kunst des Redens zu erlernen? Du kannst als Gast einfach reinschnuppern oder als Clubmitglied das volle Programme nutzen.

Willkommen sind * Redebegeisterte * Redescheue * Kreative, denen die Werkzeuge zur Kommunikation fehlen * Angestellte/Selbstständige, die besser vor Publikum oder vorm Chef reden wollen Du kannst bei uns alle aktuellen Herausforderungen trainieren: * Präsenztreffen vor Publikum * Onlinetreffen * Präsentieren * Pitchen Wir freuen uns auf rege Teilnahme und Anmeldung. *** Der Eintritt ist kostenfrei. Wir beginnen pünktlich um 19:00 Uhr. Einlass ab 18:45 Uhr.

## Wo & Wann? **JEDEN MONTAG** findet die offene Lesebühne des Autorenforums Berlin statt (außer an Feiertagen) **BEGINN**: 20:00 Uhr **ANMELDUNG zum Lesen: ab 19:30 Uhr** beim Moderator des Abends – siehe [Termine](http://autorenforum-berlin.de/wordpress/termine/); Die Teilnahme an der Veranstaltung ist kostenlos. **SCHWARTZSCHE VILLA** **Großer Salon** Direkt am S/U Rathaus Steglitz Grunewaldstr. 55 Der offene Leseabend stellt das Herzstück des Autorenforums e.V. dar. Er steht nicht nur Mitgliedern, sondern grundsätzlich jedem Autor und jeder Autorin offen, der gerne einen unveröffentlichten Text vor Publikum präsentieren möchte. Auch Kritik kann jedermann üben. Wer lieber zuhören möchte, kann einfach am Montagabend um 20.00 in der Schwartzschen Villa erscheinen. Für Lesewillige gilt die unten stehende ausführliche Information (mündliche Anmeldung ab 19:30 Uhr). *Unfortunately at the moment, it's only possible to present German texts. Unpublished texts that are already translated into German are highly welcome!* ## Was erwartet Sie? Im Großen Salon der Schwartzsche Villa treffen Sie auf einen Kreis von Literaturbegeisterten, die Ihrem Text eine ernsthafte und fundierte Kritik spenden. Das Publikum wechselt. Es ist gemischt, geeint durch das Interesse an Texten. Die Autorinnen und Autoren des Abends lesen aus ihren bislang unveröffentlichten Kurzgeschichten, lyrischen Texten, Erzählungen, Romanen, manchmal auch aus Theaterstücken. Die Autoren stellen nicht sich selbst, sondern ihre Texte der Kritik. Wir verstehen uns als Arbeitsbühne. Deshalb wird bei uns nach den Lesungen nicht geklatscht. Die Texte werden nach der Lesung des Autors auf handwerkliche Stärken und Schwächen „abgeklopft“. Es geht im Forum daher nicht um weltanschauliche Debatten. Im Idealfall hat der Autor/die Autorin nach einer Lesung und der Kritik verstanden, wo die Stärken und Schwächen seines Textes liegen, woran es seinem Text noch fehlt, was er ändern sollte und wo er bei seiner Überarbeitung ansetzen kann. Der Abend endet gegen 22.00. Im Anschluss können Sie mit den Autoren im Café der Schwartzschen Villa noch ins Gespräch kommen und manches aus dem Literaturbetrieb erfahren. Wir sind im Kontakt auch mit namhaften Vertretern desselben. Also – nicht gleich verschwinden! Dranbleiben. Reden Sie mit den Forumianern! ## Sie möchten selbst lesen? Wenn Sie selbst im Autorenforum lesen wollen, gibt es einige Dinge zu beachten. Wir bitten Sie sehr herzlich, sich mindestens einmal vor Ihrer ersten Lesung bei uns mit unseren Gegebenheiten vertraut zu machen. Ihren Lesewunsch können Sie dann ab 19.30 Uhr (Einlass) bei der Moderatorin oder dem Moderator eines Leseabends anmelden. **Wir weisen ausdrücklich daraufhin, dass über die Annahme und Reihenfolge der Lesungen die jeweiligen Moderatoren entscheiden und es NICHT zwingend nach der Reihenfolge der Anmeldungen geht!** In der Regel reicht die Zeit nur für drei Autoren je Abend und die Nachfrage ist oft recht hoch. Falls Sie einen lyrischen Text vortragen möchten, bringen Sie bitte mindestens 10 (zehn) Kopien mit, damit Ihr Publikum mitlesen kann. Die Kopien erhalten Sie selbstverständlich zurück. # Wie üben wir Textkritik? Nach der Idee von Maik Turni ## **Anschleichen** **Wie wirkt der Text auf mich?** (Keine Angst vor Adjektiven! ) **Was habe ich gehört?** (Zusammenfassung (Nacherzählung)) **Was blieb unverstanden** (akustisch oder logisch) ## **Unter der Lupe** **Was ist das für ein Text?** (Prosa: Genre? Lyrik: Welche Art lyrischer Text?) **Thema** (Welches Thema berührt der Text? Hat der Autor sein Thema im Griff? Ist es überzeugend/plausibel/gut recherchiert, vielleicht sogar zu faktenreich?) **Figuren** (Wie wirken die Figuren? Wer ist die Hauptfigur? Welches Problem hat die Hauptfigur?) **Perspektive** (Wie verhält sich die Erzählperspektive zum Thema / zu den Figuren?) **Sprache** (Welche Bilder sind stimmig / welche nicht? Was lässt sich zum Rhythmus sagen? Sind die Sätze syntaktisch und grammatikalisch korrekt?) **Dramaturgie** (Schafft der Text es, Spannung zu erzeugen? In welcher Reihenfolge werden die Dinge erzählt?) **Bedeutung** (Gelingt es dem Autor, die Bedeutung, die er seinem Text geben will, auch im Leser entstehen zu lassen?) ## **Klarspüler** Fragen werden an den Text gestellt, nicht an den Autor! Daher sollte der Text antworten. ## **Weichspüler** Wird bei uns nicht verwendet. Aber es gilt: Nicht der Autor wird kritisiert, sondern der Text! Hart zum Text, sanft zum Autor!

**They say May is the month of rebirth.** So, may we all gather again and recalibrate our collective oscillators. On **May 18**, we’re moving past the factory settings and diving into the human signal chain. **Connect Beyond the Preset** is an evening dedicated to the tools that make us move and for all the creators, builders, tinkerers, and the curious who know that the most powerful "plugin" in any studio is a fresh perspective. Move away from the isolated glow of your laptop screen and come into a space where conversation flows as freely as the voltage in a modular rack. **It is happening on:** **Monday, May 18 at 6:00 p.m. CET** **FORUM Factory, Besselstraße 13-14, 10969 Berlin** This time, we’re opening the floor to the people building the future of expression. Innovation isn't just about faster processors; it’s about deeper connections. We gather to bridge the gap between the code and the chord, between the builder and the player. This is a networking event in its truest sense. No stiff business cards or corporate bios. Just like-minded people from all areas of life, united by the passion for music and tech, sharing drinks, swapping ideas, and finding their next creative partner-in-crime. Whether you work in the music business, you're a founder, a musician, a developer, or simply someone who loves where music and technology meet, this evening is made for you. **FREE ENTRY. FREE DRINKS!** **Do not sleep on this!** **[RSVP HERE](https://music-tech.de/connect-beyond-the-preset-berlin-music-tech-meetup-24)** \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* **PRESENTATIONS** Expect an evening with local innovators on stage presenting the tools they’ve built to make music education more accessible, push the boundaries of music production, and create new ways of visual expression through music. The presentations are more like open-source conversations. Meet the local community members who are building bespoke tools and hear the stories behind them. No corporate sales pitches. Just raw, creative problem-solving and inspiration. **Presenter I** **Andreas Jacobi** (*CEO und Co-Founder,* [Audiotool](https://www.audiotool.com/) *)* Making music together is magic. For too long, software got in the way. Audiotool is the only DAW built for collaboration from the ground up — free, browser-based, real-time multiplayer. Now we’re opening the infrastructure — so the next generation of music tools can be built multiplayer, and the ones you already love can become it too. **Presenter II** **Aibek Mazhitov** (Founder [Vibely](https://apps.apple.com/uy/app/music-visualizer-vibely/id1528056717)) Aibek is an iOS developer by day and musician by night. He'll be presenting Vibely - a music visualizer app that lets artists and creators turn their audio into stunning visual content in minutes. Inspired by channels like Monstercat and Trap Nation, Vibely is used by creators with millions of followers on TikTok." **Presenter III** **Mohammad Tomaraei** (Founder of something new and special) Almost 40% of new songs on streaming platforms are AI-generated. Human creativity is at risk. That's why I’m building an interactive platform for learning music, singing, and dance through your favorite songs. You focus only on learning what matters to you. It analyzes each song, shows you how it’s built, teaches you how to perform it on instruments like guitar, piano, and drums, and gives real-time feedback as you practice. AI is optional as a personal coach that explains things in a way that makes sense to you. **Presenter IV** **David Pocknee** presents a prototype of [Chordite](https://davidpocknee.ricercata.org/funis/index.html) \- a composition\-first music environment\, inspired by video games\. It is software for musical exploration and experimentation\, designed to live alongside and communicate with your DAW\. It provides space to craft music in new ways\, using 3D graphics\, game controllers\, and musicologically\-informed interfaces\. **LET OTHERS PLAY WITH YOUR TOOL - LIKE FRANK** We will set up tables on which you can place your laptop, speakers, synth, or other hardware, etc. to let the meetup attendees play with it. Like Frank Hahn. He will present [Kreuzberg Audio](https://kreuzberg-audio.com) , a Berlin-based plugin forge building tools for modern electronic music production. At the meetup he'll show three of them: KREATUR (premiere), an AI-powered music production tool that puts generative AI to work as a creative instrument without taking control out of the producer's hands; KA-303, the freshly updated acid synthesizer with a dynamic 32-step pattern grid, polyrhythmic page system, MIDI import and five groove engines; and Reecer Synthesizer, the flagship in free public beta with a triple oscillator engine, 29 filters from Moog Ladder to Polivoks, a quad distortion chain, and a composing section with 150 patterns. You can do this to. Just send us a message here.🙌 ——————————————————————————————————- **WALL OF OPPORTUNITIES** A big piece of paper, pinned to a wall with space for everyone to leave a note. Whether you are looking for a project partner or want to offer your skills and services. **AN EVENT FOR EVERYONE** Whether you are interested in learning more about music, tools for artists, new technologies, music communities, entrepreneurship, or just hanging out with the local Berlin music tech community, this event is for you. **DRINKS** are free **ENTRY** **is free**, but RSVP is **mandatory** **Please 👉 [REGISTER HERE](https://music-tech.de/connect-beyond-the-preset-berlin-music-tech-meetup-24)** *We are grateful that the [Berlin Senate Department for Economics, Energy and Public Enterprises](https://www.berlin.de/sen/wirtschaft/en/) provided us with some funding for this event.*

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!

📝 **Synopsis:** Last month we got the foundation in place. Now it's time to build on it. Join us as we pick up right where we left off and go hands-on with two of the most powerful services in the AWS ecosystem, EC2 and Lambda, all from your PowerShell prompt. 📘 **Description:** If you were with us in April, you already know how to set up the AWS CLI, install the necessary modules, authenticate securely, and manage IAM users and S3 buckets without ever touching the AWS console. This session picks up right where we left off. This time, we're heading into compute territory. We'll walk through spinning up EC2 instances from scratch—picking the right AMI, configuring security groups, and managing instance lifecycle with just a few clean lines of script. You'll see how to start, stop, and terminate instances programmatically, and why that matters when you're managing resources at scale. From there, we'll shift gears to Lambda, where you'll see how to invoke serverless functions, pass payloads, and pull CloudWatch logs directly from your terminal—no browser required. It's the kind of automation that makes your future self very happy. As always, expect live demos, real-world scenarios, and at least one moment where something doesn't go quite as planned—which, as it turns out, is usually the most useful part. Whether you were with us last month or are jumping in for the first time, you'll walk away with working scripts, a clearer picture of what's possible, and patterns you can actually take back to work on Monday. 📰 Extra credit: Bring your questions, your war stories, and your curiosity. This is a space for PowerShell enthusiasts to learn, share, and build together.

We will show how to build custom agents with Microsoft Agent Framework. Attendees will learn how to build and custom host agents when Microsoft Foundry is not a viable option.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
