This talk walks through a practical demo of automating the full SRE lifecycle: from incident investigation to deployment validation, using Grafana MCP and the GitLab Agent Platform, and where humans still need to stay in the loop. *Serhii Vasylenko* **The Pipeline Was Green — AI Agents and CI Trust** We’ve spent years building CI/CD pipelines that tell us when code is "technically correct," but are they capable of telling an autonomous AI agent if a change is safe to apply? This talk explores a real-world incident where an AI-powered automation -- pairing Renovate with Claude Code -- successfully executed a "green" pipeline that broke a critical QA cluster for three days, how the team reacted, and how we evolved our vision toward the future of human-agentic collaboration with code. *Frithjof Hoffmann* **Managing Uninvited Guests: Securing Open Source Dependencies** Open source software is the ultimate neighborhood party, but what happens when an uninvited guest slips through the door? This talk digs into the messy reality of dependency hell and its role in software supply chain security: from typosquatting attacks to maintainer account takeovers, and the abandoned projects with known CVEs quietly living in your codebase rent-free.

📆 Agenda * 19:00 Welcome to the PUB (Python Users Berlin) – setting up * 19:15 Main talk * 20:00 Lightning talks * 20:30 Social gathering 🎙 Main talk by [Sam Bail](https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/members/57634242/): PySpark PySpark is a powerful library that brings Apache Spark’s distributed computing capabilities to Python, making it a key tool for processing large-scale data efficiently. In this talk, data engineer and analyst Sam Bail provides a structured and hands-on introduction to PySpark, starting with an overview of Apache Spark, its architecture, and its ecosystem, such as Databricks. Learn about Spark’s core concepts, such as the DataFrame API, transformations, lazy evaluations, and actions, before setting up a lab environment and working with a real dataset. Plus, gain insights into how PySpark fits into a broader data engineering ecosystem and best practices on running PySpark in a production environment. 👩‍💻 About [Sam Bail](https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/members/57634242/) Data engineer and engineering leader with 10+ years building platforms and teams across healthcare, marketplaces, and data infrastructure at NYC tech startups.

Only 1% of Venture Capital reaches all-female teams. Nina Wöss is on a mission to change that. ### Gender-diverse and and all-female startups receive just 9% of all venture capital according to the latest Female Founders Monitor 2025 published by Start-Up Verband Germany and Bertelsmann Stiftung in 2025. These numbers have not changed much in the last 10 years. New ideas are needed to change a system that is not leveraging all its potential. Creating new specialized venture funds is one solution. In this session, Nina Wöss—Managing Partner of the VC Fund F tells us what motivated her to found a venture capital fund specializing in gender-diverse founders only. Fund F writes cheques of up to EUR 600k, acts as lead investor, and brings an active follow-on policy—backed by a team of entrepreneurs, investors, and operators who provide hands-on support and connections to their portfolio companies. Nina will also pull back the curtain on how VCs actually think and what they look for. She previously founded the Female Founders Community with 83.000 members all over Europe and is a leading figure in Austria’s VC Scene. #### 💡 What you will learn * What **VC funds in general and Fund F** in particular **looks for in early-stage startups** and how to get on their radar * Why **gender-diverse teams outperform** all-male teams * **Concrete steps** you can take today to **strengthen your fundraising position** This event is brought to you by **SIBB Incubator**, who supports founders building the future of cybersecurity, trustworthy AI, and deep tech. #### 🧑🏻‍🏫 Speaker **Nina Wöss - *Managing Partner, Fund F*** * **Founder** and **Managing Partner** of **Fund F**, Austria's first VC fund specifically for female and gender-diverse founding teams * **Co-founder** of **Female Founders Global** (since 2016), one of Europe's largest communities for female entrepreneurs * **Former Principal** at **Speedinvest** * **Former COO** at **AVCO** (Austrian Private Equity & Venture Capital Organisation) * MSc in **Strategic Management**, WU Vienna * **Active in the startup ecosystem** since 2012 ***Moderated by: Etta Dannemann in her role as head coach.*** Etta Dannemann moderates the event in her role as Startup Coach at the SIBB Incubator. As a solopreneur, trainer, and architect by education, she loves creating new things — but even more, supporting others as they build and grow. Etta is passionate about empowering women in tech, helping them turn their ideas into action and leave their unique mark on the world. #### 🎯 Who is this event for * **Gender diverse teams** and **female founders** who are preparing a **funding round** * Anyone who wants to **understand** **how VCs think** * **Startup ecosystem** professionals, accelerator participants, and/or incubator members We look forward to seeing you! Come with your questions, and an appetite for honest answers about the funding landscape.

This will be the first meetup of the group. A relaxed evening for people interested in bug bounty hunting, web security, AppSec and vulnerability research. The main goal is to meet like-minded people, talk about bugs, tools, targets, methodology, reports, interesting findings and whatever else comes up around security research. Since it is the first event, we can also spend a bit of time discussing how future meetups should be structured: casual chats, hacking sessions, short talks, tool sharing, report discussions or presentations. As soon as at least **3 people join**, I will look for a suitable location. The first meetup will probably be in a **café, bar or restaurant**. If there is enough interest in presentations, I can also look into booking a room with a **TV or projector** for future events. No preparation needed. Please keep everything legal and authorized.

Für Mitglieder von Text Collective Berlin ist die Teilnahme an dieser Veranstaltung kostenlos. Nicht-Mitglieder werden um einen Teilnahmebeitrag von zehn Euro gebeten.

Kreative Schreibübung mit anschließender Diskussion zum Erfahrungsaustausch, Inspiration und Motivation zu sammeln. Ein Raum für alle, die kreativ schreiben möchten – egal ob du gerade erst anfängst oder schon länger schreibst. **Jeden ersten Samstag des Monats von 15:00 Uhr bis 17:00 Uhr in der ufaFabrik in Tempelhof.** **Was dich erwartet:** In unseren Treffen arbeiten wir mit abwechslungsreichen Schreibimpulsen, die neue Perspektiven eröffnen und spielerisches Experimentieren ermöglichen. Du schreibst direkt vor Ort, teilst deine Texte mit der Gruppe (freiwillig!) und erhältst konstruktives Feedback. Die Atmosphäre ist offen und unterstützend. Hier darf ein Text noch unfertig sein, eine Idee noch roh, ein Gedanke noch unausgereift. In dieser Atmosphäre gegenseitiger Wertschätzung entsteht der Mut, sich auszuprobieren und die eigene Stimme zu entdecken. Wir lesen einander vor, geben Rückmeldung, ermutigen uns gegenseitig und praktizieren das Zuhören.

You can sleep in on the Sesquicentennial (observed), we’re shifting to the following Friday. But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to. Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.
