**Fährst du gerne Fahrrad, bist gerne in der Natur und möchtest neue Leute in Berlin kennenlernen? Dann komm mit auf diese Frühlingstour vom Prenzlauer Berg nach Tegel! 😊** Hier geht es nicht um sportliche Bestleistungen, sondern darum, gemeinsam draußen unterwegs zu sein und neue Kontakte zu knüpfen. Eine gewisse Grundfitness und Sicherheit im Umgang mit deinem Fahrrad solltest du mitbringen – aber egal welches Bike du fährst: Du bist willkommen. 😉 Wir fahren entspannt und warten aufeinander. Außerdem ist mir eine respektvolle und entspannte Atmosphäre in der Gruppe wichtig. ☺️ 📍 **Treffpunkt:** U-Bahnhof Eberswalder Straße, Ecke Topsstraße ([Google Maps](https://maps.app.goo.gl/hgvFXhN5nkoSucr37)) 🕚 **Abfahrt:** 11:00 Uhr (bitte spätestens fünf Minuten vorher da sein) 🗺️ **Route:** Wir fahren ca. 30 Kilometer auf naturnahen Wegen (teilweise entlang des Mauerwegs), vorbei an Seen, durch Wälder und Felder bis nach Tegel. Dort lernen wir uns bei einem Getränk und/oder Snack noch besser kennen. Wer möchte, fährt anschließend mit dem Fahrrad durch die Stadt zurück. Alternativ kann bequem die S-Bahn genommen werden. Die Routenkarte findest du hier auf der Seite. 🎒 **Bitte mitbringen:** Wasser, Snacks, ggf. Flickzeug ☀️ **Wetter:** Bringt schönes Wetter mit! Dauerregen macht keinen Spaß – deshalb kann die Tour auch kurzfristig abgesagt werden. Ich freue mich auf euch! 😊 *** **Do you enjoy cycling, being outdoors, and meeting new people in Berlin? Then join this spring ride from Prenzlauer Berg to Tegel! 😊** This is not about athletic performance or racing, but about being active outside together and connecting with new people. You should feel comfortable on your bike and bring a basic level of fitness – but no matter what type of bike you ride, you’re very welcome. 😉 We’ll ride at a steady but relaxed pace and wait for each other. Additionally, having a respectful and relaxed atmosphere within the group is important to me. ☺️ 📍 **Meeting point:** U-Bahnhof Eberswalder Straße, corner of Topsstraße ([Google Maps](https://maps.app.goo.gl/hgvFXhN5nkoSucr37)) 🕚 **Departure:** 11:00 am (please arrive at least five minutes early) 🗺️ **Route:** We’ll ride approximately 30 kilometers on scenic, nature-friendly paths (partly along the former Berlin Wall Trail), passing lakes, forests, and open fields on our way to Tegel. There, we’ll get to know each other better over a drink and/or a snack. If you’d like, you can cycle back through the city afterwards. Alternatively, you can conveniently take the S-Bahn. You can find the route map here on the event page. 🎒 **Please bring:** Water, snacks, and a repair kit if you have one ☀️ **Weather:** Let’s hope for sunshine! Heavy rain isn’t much fun, so the tour may be cancelled at short notice if the weather is too bad. Looking forward to seeing you! 😊

Hey everyone! I’m organising a co-working + socialising session for all of us who like to work on something (e.g. our own project, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. 🙂 To ensure that we have both **socialising** AND **working**, we will be using the so called “Pomodoro” technique: **50min of deep work** (silent), followed by **10min of break** to socialise. Then repeat! If you get into flow, you're also welcome to skip the breaks. It’s an effective way to stay focused - you can read more about it [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique). Anyone from any background is welcome, whatever project you are working on or whatever is your personal background. I (the host) speak English and German, so either is fine :-) ——————————————————- AGENDA: * **15min Intro** * Get to know everyone, talk about what you will work on today * **Pomodoro Session** (3x) - *Each Pomodoro session consists* *of...* * ...**50min** of uninterrupted “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, no phones) * ...**10min** of break: share your progress with others, talk about what you are stuck on etc. * Repeat * Conclude and celebrate your progress Share your progress, socialise and get to know others 😊 ———— We'll be at the Social Hub Berlin (they have a food menu in case you get hungry). The structured part will end at 2:30pm, but you're welcome to stay longer, go for lunch together, or leave earlier. See you there 🩵 **\*\*We'll reserve the long table. Please update your RSVP in advance if you can't attend!\*\***

There is no need to be at the beginning of the cohort to build. Complete beginners welcomed! 📌 By the End of a Full Cycle, You should Have 🎯 A working project in your own GitHub repo 🎯 A small but real portfolio piece you can demo or write about 🧠 **Current Project** This cycle’s shared project is an **image-based knowledge extraction system**. In **Week 7**, we celebrate and present. This is our **Showcase Night**. Participants will: * Present their project (5–10 minutes each) * Demo their pipeline or flashcard system * Share challenges, lessons learned, and technical decisions * Give and receive thoughtful feedback We’ve come a long way — from raw images on our phones to a complete, working portfolio project — and this week is about learning to clearly explain your ideas, your challenges, and the technical decisions behind your work. \*\*\* **👋 Who Is This For?** 🔹 Beginners who learn best by doing — no prior experience needed 🔹 Career switchers from product, engineering, design, marketing, or other fields who want to break into data 🔹 Analysts, engineers, and PMs looking to sharpen their skills or build real-world projects 🔹 Data professionals who want a creative playground outside of work 🔹 Anyone with big questions and a love for learning through experimentation \*\*\* **BUILD.

A small NEXUS gathering built around movement rather than discussion alone. This is for high-bandwidth Mavericks who spend most of their time in conceptual thought and need some physical counterweight. Why bouldering? Because it’s deliberate: short problems, full focus, and immediate feedback. You’re on the wall, solving something tangible. The mental noise drops instantly! Conversations happen naturally in between climbs. No pressure, you move at your own pace. Some exchanges stay light. Others go deep. Both are fine. This is not about athletic achievement. It’s about presence, recalibration, and being around people who don’t require you to shrink or translate yourself. Come as you are. Try some bouldering problems. Rest when needed, and engage where it makes sense. **Bring comfortable clothes and climbing shoes if you have them (rentals are available at the gym).** *Registration equals commitment. If you sign up, you show up. Read the group description first and decide consciously. For context about NEXUS, visit our* ***[website](https://thenexusformula.com)*** *and* ***[newsletter](https://news.thenexusformula.com)****.*

**Google Analytics Alternatives** Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday. Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”. Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process. We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer. Thanks to our 2026 sponsors: [Clarivoy](https://www.clarivoy.com), [What Box Consulting Group](https://www.whatboxconsultinggroup.com), [Conductrics](https://www.conductrics.com), and [Piwik PRO](https://piwik.pro) More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)

Drake Lundstrom is presenting: Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone Abstract: Have you heard the trend of people deploying code anywhere from checkout lines to doctors' offices? In this talk, you will learn how to talk to your phone and have an app on Azure to show your friend 5 minutes later. The basic DevOps tools you already know, plus a little bit of AI magic, are all you need! If you want to follow along, the demo will be in Azure with GitHub Actions and GitHub Copilot, and you can have it set up on your phone by the end of the session. Just come in with an Azure account and a GitHub repo. Join us for pizza, drinks, and networking @ Improving's office. Doors open at 5:45.

In this local meeting, you will discover knowledge that you can use to get over the past. The key to improving your personal motivation, self-confidence, and happiness is to get over your painful memories. When you become free of your past, you will be free from stress, anger, anxiety and depression. Studies show that negative emotions can affect your health. By being free of negative emotions, believe it or not, you will most likely even look younger, feel more energetic, and become healthier! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is brought to you by the Dianetics and Scientology life improvement center.
