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.

With Berlin Fashion Week taking over the city this week, it felt like the right moment to look at where fashion and art truly meet. Join us for a thought-provoking Saturday exploring the women who turned fashion into art — from the ateliers of Paris to a landmark exhibition here in Berlin. 📋 **Agenda** 🥐 **Brunch & Lecture: When Art Meets Fashion** — We'll meet for a cosy brunch with croissants, viennoiserie, and coffee/tea — included in the participation fee. Alongside, I'll trace the women who turned fashion into art — from Rose Bertin, Marie Antoinette's "Minister of Fashion," to Schiaparelli and Chanel, and through to Iris van Herpen today — showing how they used cloth the way sculptors use stone, and challenged what fashion was allowed to mean. 🖼️ **Many Shades of Grès: Fashion Becomes Art at Kunstgewerbemuseum**: Then we'll head to the Kulturforum for the first exhibition of its kind in the German-speaking world dedicated to Madame Grès — one of the most important couturières of the 20th century, who once said her scissors were her most important tool. The show brings together 25 of her draped, sculptural gowns alongside ancient sculpture and paintings from the Antikensammlung and Gemäldegalerie — placing her work in direct dialogue with the classical forms that inspired it. 📅 **Date & Time:** Saturday, 04.07 · 11:30 📍 **Brunch location:** Exact address shared with attendees 1 day before the event 📍 **Exhibition:** Kunstgewerbemuseum, Kulturforum, Johanna und Eduard Arnhold Platz, 10785 Berlin 💶 **Participation Fee:** 30 EUR (brunch included; exhibition entry not included — tickets available at the museum) 📌 **RSVP required** — intimate group, spots are limited ✅ **Event Info & FAQ** 🕐 **How long will it last?** The full experience runs approximately 4–5 hours, including brunch, lecture, and exhibition visit. 💶 **Payment — How do I pay?** Participation fee is paid on the day — cash or PayPal. Exhibition entry is paid separately at the museum. If your plans change, please update your status to "Not Going" so someone on the waiting list can take your spot. 🙏 ⚠️ **Limited Spots:** To keep the group intimate and allow for conversation, spaces are limited. Please cancel if you can't attend so someone else may join. ⏰ **Respect & Punctuality:** Please arrive on time and be mindful of the group. 🥐 **Can I join only for brunch or only for the exhibition?** No — it's one full shared experience. ❗ **What if I show up without signing up?** Unfortunately a spot can't be guaranteed. Only confirmed RSVPs are accepted. ✨ Meet Yuliya, the 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, she has lived in Ukraine, France, China, and now Berlin. Over the years, she has expanded her passion for art through diverse 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 completed 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.

**ACHTUNG: Bitte melde dich per Email bei uns an, nicht nur über RSVP.** Am Anfang fühlt sich alles leicht an. Ihr schreibt ständig. Ihr wollt euch sehen. Es kribbelt. Es macht Spaß. Und dann taucht irgendwann etwas auf. Die Aufregung verändert sich. Die ersten Unsicherheiten tauchen auf. Mal ganz leise. Mal ganz plötzlich. Vielleicht kennst du Gedanken wie: \- Wie merke ich\, ob ich diesem Menschen wirklich vertrauen kann? \- Was sind wir eigentlich? \- Ab wann ist es eine Beziehung? \- Kann ich mich zeigen\, wie ich wirklich bin? \- Warum fühlt sich plötzlich alles weniger eindeutig an? \- Bleibt das jetzt? \- Warum scheitern meine Beziehungen immer nach wenigen Monaten? \- Wieso verliebe ich mich ständig in Menschen\, die sich nicht festlegen wollen? \- Ist es normal\, dass wir weniger Sex haben als am Anfang? \- Woher kommt meine Eifersucht? \- Woran erkenne ich\, ob ich bleiben möchte? Genau dieser Phase widmen wir uns in diesem Workshop. Der Zeit, in der aus Verliebtheit etwas Tieferes werden kann. Oder eben nicht. Gemeinsam erforschen wir, was in dieser Phase passiert. Welche Dynamiken auftauchen. Welche Ängste sichtbar werden. Warum viele von uns immer wieder an denselben Stellen festhängen. Und was es braucht, damit aus Verliebtheit Vertrauen entstehen kann. Wie immer arbeiten wir mit persönlichen Erfahrungen, Körperwahrnehmung, Austausch und kreativen Aufstellungen. Als Grundlage dient uns der [re:nature® Kompass.](https://umainstitut.net/ueber-uns/renature-ansatz/) Wir, Susanne und Ben, geben dem Raum eine Richtung und einen Rahmen. Alles andere entsteht aus dem, was die Teilnehmenden mitbringen: Fragen, Zweifel, Hoffnungen, Geschichten und Erfahrungen sind ausdrücklich willkommen. Der Workshop ist offen für alle Geschlechtsidentitäten, Beziehungsformen und sexuellen Orientierungen. Die Teilnahme erfolgt auf Spendenbasis. **Bitte melde dich per Email an:** kontakt@benjaminpontius.de

This group is for everyone who is interested in drawing portraits! For me, drawing has been a wonderful way to gain a new perspective on the world and the people within it. Whether you are just starting out or have been drawing for ages — all levels are welcome :) How it works: 1\. We meet at The Castle pub in Mitte and do short sittings of 15 minutes for each other\. The first sitting is divided into 3 warm\-up sketches\, 5 minutes each\. 2\. Before we start\, everybody writes their name on a blank card \(provided by the organizer\); these cards are then used to randomly pick the model every 15 minutes\. 3\. Usually we do 8 sittings\, with a 15\-minute break in the middle \(so after 4 sittings\, or 1 hour\)\. -> The participation is free, but it is expected that everybody orders something from the bar to support the lovely location. Get out your pencils and let's start! Please bring your own art supplies!
