It highlights Rwanda’s growing role as a strategic tech location, where international companies and local teams co-create products with shared ownership and responsibility. Drawing on real-world experiences from Rwandan developers working in international teams, the discussion showcases how these collaborations move beyond execution to include active contribution to product design and decision-making. It features Garage B, which supports startups in building the digital solutions they need while providing hands-on experience and project work opportunities for Rwandan junior developers through these collaborations. **Angel Gwiza** is a Rwandan Product Lead working with startups within Garage B to design and implement MVP solutions. She brings experience in design research and product management across multiple sectors including health, education, finance and agriculture. **Yannick Musafiri** is a Rwandan Senior Software Developer who primarily works as a Tech Lead across international teams.

She has recently started working at the Rwandan Embassy in Germany as a Communication and IT Specialist. **🎤 "Less Tools, More Impact: The Three Roles Your AI Strategy Needs" & "From Chaos to Clarity: Implementing AI Roles That Deliver Impact"** AI initiatives fail in most organizations—not because of technology, but because of unclear roles, fragmented teams, and misaligned priorities. In this talk, we introduce three human-centered roles—Curator, Synthesizer, and Translator—that turn scattered AI efforts into measurable impact. Learn how to embed these roles, align teams, and lead AI projects that actually work, all while driving real business outcomes. **Irene Yu** Irene is a serial entrepreneur and leadership coach.

\*This is a free event, but please [donate through Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.de/e/read-editing-monthly-writers-meetup-tickets-1981513291596?aff=oddtdtcreator) to support our collective if you are able! Please join us on the 2nd Monday of every month for this event, built for all of your “in between works“ by the [Read Wedding](https://www.instagram.com/readwedding/) collective. Most events for writers are focused around ***creation or performance***. Much comes between this, yet we do not always hold each other through that phase. It is perhaps expected that all of those self-questioning, unsure, multi-path moments between lightbulb idea and snap-inducing performances are to be personal and private -- but they do not always have to be. We therefore offer you a space for everything unfinished. Needing bouncing around. Ready for a test run. We will meet in a more traditional meetup format than our open mic -- without any set format of facilitation. We will determine the approach to each session based on who's arrived and what their goals are. You may expect some combination of solitary writing time, sharing and feedback, and guided exercises. We'd love for you to show up however you are, and with some writing materials (including your phone, if you prefer). However you arrive, so long as you are feeling curious and open, we will have something for you and your work. See you there! Brooks, Bubamarrë, Maggie & Johanna Re(a)d VVedding Kollektiv \-\-\- **NOTE: Excluding select, small workshops, Read Wedding has hosted entirely free events since we started. If you have the means and would like to support us, it goes a long way.

**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 have the following topics lined up: * Tobias has working on a ***project wizard*** and would like to receive some feedback from the group. * Crop is going to introduce the topic of ***atomics***, then hold a discussion space for answering questions and sharing experiences. * Raf finally would like to introduce ***test-driven development*** with a small mob coding exercise. 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). 16 April 2026 is our thirteenth meeting. Our next projected meetings are going to occur on the following dates: * 14 May 2026 (tentative, public holiday) * 11 Jun 2026 * 9 Jul 2026 * 6 Aug 2026 * 3 Sep 2026 * 1 Oct 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 **[Rust Berlin on location 🏳️‍🌈](https://rust-berlin.zulipchat.com/join/gap4pdbz7xsquliiz7tgcyuk/)**[ Zulip chat](https://rust-berlin.zulipchat.com/join/gap4pdbz7xsquliiz7tgcyuk/). You are very welcome to join!

We start at 18:15, if you come later it gets difficult to bring you in, because then you'll skip the warmup and intro. Feel: 3-5 Eur range As an exchange for our effor and to cover meetup annual subscription. come! it'lbe good 🖤 What is Playback? - Real stories shared from real people spontaneously recreated on stage.

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee.
