Hallo, es ist wieder so weit, der zweite Freitag im Mai ist diese Woche! Deshalb habe ich im Neffes draußen im Innenhof für uns reserviert. Wenn das Wetter schlecht werden sollte, haben wir die Ecke vor dem - ausgeschalteten - Fernseher für uns :-). Ich freue mich schon, euch wieder persönlich zu sehen! Und hier der übliche Ankündigungstext: Unser zweimonatliches Treffen steht wieder an! An jedem zweiten Freitag eines ungeraden Monats treffen wir Selbständige, Unternehmer und Freiberufler aus der IT uns wieder um 19:00 Uhr im Neffes. Bei einem gemütlichen Zusammensein werden wir uns über fast alle Themen unterhalten. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf den beruflichen Themen. Z. B. wie gehen andere mit den Kunden und deren Mitarbeitern um, was sind die neuesten Insider Infos von den verschiedenen Unternehmen, wie sieht es bei den anderen mit den Einsatzorten und Arbeitsbedingungen aus und vieles mehr. Es wird wie immer ein interessanter Abend mit einem umfangreichen Erfahrungsaustausch werden, der einen auch beruflich weiterbringt. Mit dem DBITS e.V. wollen wir die Anerkennung von IT-Freiberuflern in der Gesellschaft und Politik vorantreiben, dort gibt es leider noch einen sehr großen Aufhol- und Aufklärungsbedarf und damit viel zu besprechen und zu erfahren. Des Weiteren bietet uns der Verein ein breites Netzwerk an Leuten mit den gleichen Zielen und Problemen. Aber wie gesagt, das Ziel ist ein schöner, informativer Abend, es gibt kein Mitgliederzwang. Nimm teil, wir freuen uns auf dein Kommen! Viele Grüße und ich freue mich schon auf ein Treffen am nächsten Freitag!

**Everyone's welcome ❤️** Every Friday evening we meet up by the Spree — music playing, people arriving from all over the world, and a night that usually goes way longer than anyone planned. No agenda. No organised icebreakers. Just a relaxed spot by the river where you can show up, grab a drink, and actually meet people worth knowing. We've been doing this for over 8 years, and the best thing about it is still the same — you never quite know who you're going to end up talking to. Come solo, come with friends, come fresh off a flight. The crowd is always a mix of Berliners, expats, travellers, and people who just moved here and are figuring it out. After a while the group usually spreads out to bars or clubs — or just stays by the water. You go wherever the night takes you. **Stay in the loop — join our Telegram group:** Spree Ravers → [http://bit.ly/berlinsocialchat](http://bit.ly/berlinsocialchat) 📍 By the Spree, next to Schlesisches Tor U-Bahn — opposite the East Side Gallery, right by the Cage on Water → [https://maps.app.goo.gl/vj1DhSP3apijCmRbA](https://maps.app.goo.gl/vj1DhSP3apijCmRbA) 🕒 From 9 PM — people arrive gradually, so if it's quiet at first, just hang tight See you Friday ✨

Connect with fellow founders and entrepreneurs at Electric Social, Berlin’s arcade bar. Enjoy a relaxed evening of networking, drinks, and classic games while sharing ideas and meeting new collaborators. Build connections — and maybe a few high scores.

The course will start this Saturday at 10am. It will be in studio R at CCB studios. [https://maps.app.goo.gl/rFovxE7eG7HV6uB46](https://maps.app.goo.gl/rFovxE7eG7HV6uB46). Buzz for CCB studios and then walk through to the second courtyard. We will try to start right around 10. There will be tea available. Please dress in comfortable clothes, maybe wearing a few layers. Theres some blankets, yoga mats, cushions and chairs in the room that you can use. The plan will be for us to do some small discussions at the top and then start discussing theory before doing some meditations of increasing length and then closing with some time for Q & A. We will take a short break in the middle as well. The plan is to go from 10-12 roughly but we may end a little closer to 11:30 depending. This week will function primarily as a simple introduction to meditation and some topics in the space but we will also discuss what the Jhanas are. Looking forward! Any questions please just message me.

Join us for a hands-on, collaborative **4-hour workshop** where we use LLMs to code. We will be implementing the following 3 exercises: [connect four](https://www.hellointerview.com/learn/low-level-design/problem-breakdowns/connect-four) [amazon locker](https://www.hellointerview.com/learn/low-level-design/problem-breakdowns/amazon-locker) and [elevator](https://www.hellointerview.com/learn/low-level-design/problem-breakdowns/elevator) ### **What we will do** We will use the LLM (any free one, like chatGPT) to write code that solves a given problem. Our goal is to not write code by hand, and to produce an application that passes a set of specifications. ### 🛠 **Share ideas about agentic coding** We will be practicing our agentic coding skills: * bring a laptop with Java or Golang installed * know how to code in either Java or Golang * share and explore ideas about how to use LLMs to create production-ready applications ### 💬 **Atmosphere & Logistics** The workshop is **free**. There will also be a 20 min pause, if you want to order snacks.

**Nerds, Creatives & Dreamers** is a small, curated gathering in Berlin for two kinds of people who almost never end up in the same room: the ones who build things with code, and the ones who build things with imagination. Developers and painters. Engineers and writers. Founders and photographers. In daily life these worlds rarely collide — here, that collision is the whole point. Just a good space, a deliberate mix of curious people, and the freedom to let the evening unfold. Come ready to be surprised by who you meet and where the evening takes you. A room full of curious humans. We’re here to socialize as human beings. And if you do exchange contacts — make it personal, not transactional. **🛠 If You Build Things** · Developers & Engineers · Designers & Product People · Founders · People Who Code for Fun **🎨 If You Create Things** · Writers & Journalists · Photographers · Artists & Painters · Anyone With a Side Obsession 👉 **You can also join via Luma if this event reaches capacity: https://luma.com/0y2yd2q4** Please RSVP “yes” only if you can make it, so we can save a seat for you and others on the waitlist. **📝 Note:** You are welcome to attend our social meetup! The event is free. The space is generously hosted for us — the only thing we ask is that you support it by buying a drink, etc. A small gesture that keeps evenings like this possible. **🤝 Community:** This is a space built on curiosity and respect. We keep it that way — for everyone.

Join us for a guided art morning — a mix of conversation, discovery, and shared experience. We'll begin together in the iconic glass foyer of the Neue Nationalgalerie, designed by Mies van der Rohe, where Yuliya will give a guided introduction to both exhibitions before we explore together. Afterwards, we'll head to a nearby café to relax, share impressions and connect. This time, we're visiting two exhibitions that couldn't be more different on the surface — and yet ask surprisingly similar questions about art, perception, and the world we live in. **Constantin Brancusi** — one of the founding fathers of modern sculpture — stripped form down to its purest essence, searching for something timeless in stone and bronze. **Beeple** (Mike Winkelmann) — the digital artist who sold an NFT for 69 million dollars — layers on the chaos of our digital age through AI, robotics and sharp political satire, presenting his first-ever exhibition in Germany right here in Berlin. What counts as art? Who decides? How does the world around us shape what we see? Two artists, a century apart, both asking the same things. 🖼️ About the Exhibitions **Brancusi** is one of the most important retrospectives of the season — a rare opportunity to encounter his sculptures, drawings and photographs in depth, tracing his lifelong obsession with reducing form to its essential truth. **Beeple. Regular Animals** is an interactive robotic installation making its German debut. Autonomous robot dogs roam the space, each wearing a hyperrealistic silicon head modelled after a global figure — Elon Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos, Warhol, Picasso. They scan the room, process what they see through AI, and print out images which you can take home for free. A pointed, witty comment on algorithms, power and how technology shapes our perception. 📋 Agenda 🎨 Guided Introduction: We meet in the main foyer at 12:00 for a guided talk by Yuliya — no slides, just conversation — setting the context for both exhibitions before we go in together. 🖼️ Exhibition Visit: We explore Brancusi and Beeple at our own pace, with Yuliya on hand throughout. ☕ Post-visit café: We finish at a nearby café to share impressions and connect. 📅 Date & Time: Saturday, 09.05 · 12:00 📍 Meeting Point: Neue Nationalgalerie, Potsdamer Str. 50 — main foyer 💶 Participation Fee: 20 EUR on the day 🎟 Brancusi ticket: Please purchase online in advance — link in the comments 🤖 Beeple installation: Free — no ticket needed 📌 RSVP required — limited spots available *** ✅ Event Info & FAQ 🕐 Schedule — How long will it last? We meet at 12:00 in the main foyer, explore both exhibitions together, and finish at a nearby café. The full experience will run until around 15:00. ⸻ 💶 Payment — How do I pay? Payment is made in cash on the day of the event. Please bring 20 EUR in cash or paypal. If your plans change, please update your status to "Not Going" so someone on the waiting list can take your spot. 🙏 ⸻ 🎟 Exhibition Ticket — Do I need to buy it in advance? Yes, please! Everyone should purchase their Brancusi ticket online before the event so we don't lose time at the entrance. I'll share the link in the comments. The Beeple installation in the lower foyer is free — no ticket needed. ⸻ 🥐 Can I come only for the talk or only for the exhibition? No — the event is a full programme designed as one shared experience. Partial attendance isn't possible. ⸻ ❗ What if I show up without signing up? Unfortunately, a spot can't be guaranteed. Only confirmed RSVPs are accepted. ⸻ ✨ The experience is curated and guided by Yuliya, founder of Berlin Ladies Art Culture — a growing community of over 2,000 women passionate about art, culture, and meaningful connection. With a background bridging hospitality, real estate, and creative studies, Yuliya has lived in Ukraine, France, China, and now Berlin. Over the years, she has deepened her passion for art through studies and experiences — from the Louvre School in Paris to the University of the Arts London, from workshops at the Universität der Künste in Berlin to curatorial programs during the Venice Biennale, and most recently completing studies at Sotheby's Institute of Art in London. Today, she curates experiences that blend art history, conversation, and exploration — always with the goal of making culture feel alive, shared, and inspiring.

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

Join us for a practical, beginner-friendly guide to choosing the right large language model. We’ll compare major models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Llama, talk about when to use hosted APIs versus local models, and break down the tradeoffs around cost, speed, quality, privacy, context windows, coding ability, and reliability. You’ll leave with a clearer mental model for picking an LLM based on your actual use case instead of hype, benchmarks, or brand names. No deep AI background required. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

**Building a great product is one thing—building momentum behind it is another.** Join **Senior Product Manager Adam Solaiman** and **User Experience Manager Tyson Smith** for a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to turn complex ideas into scalable products inside large organizations. In this session, they’ll share how teams move from ambiguity to execution—navigating organizational complexity, aligning stakeholders, and continuously evolving products after launch. You’ll walk away with insights on how to: * Build and sustain momentum across teams * Adapt to changing priorities without losing direction * Scale products thoughtfully in complex environments Whether you're driving a new initiative or growing an existing product, this conversation will give you practical strategies to keep things moving forward. Come connect, learn, and swap stories with fellow product professionals. \-\-\- Food and drinks will be provided by Switchbox, our generous host. Free parking will be available at the front and back sides of the Switchbox Office.

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.

**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.
