## Wo & Wann? **JEDEN MONTAG** findet die offene Lesebühne des Autorenforums Berlin statt (außer an Feiertagen) **BEGINN**: 20:00 Uhr **ANMELDUNG zum Lesen: ab 19:30 Uhr** beim Moderator des Abends – siehe [Termine](http://autorenforum-berlin.de/wordpress/termine/); Die Teilnahme an der Veranstaltung ist kostenlos. **SCHWARTZSCHE VILLA** **Großer Salon** Direkt am S/U Rathaus Steglitz Grunewaldstr. 55 Der offene Leseabend stellt das Herzstück des Autorenforums e.V. dar. Er steht nicht nur Mitgliedern, sondern grundsätzlich jedem Autor und jeder Autorin offen, der gerne einen unveröffentlichten Text vor Publikum präsentieren möchte. Auch Kritik kann jedermann üben. Wer lieber zuhören möchte, kann einfach am Montagabend um 20.00 in der Schwartzschen Villa erscheinen. Für Lesewillige gilt die unten stehende ausführliche Information (mündliche Anmeldung ab 19:30 Uhr). *Unfortunately at the moment, it's only possible to present German texts. Unpublished texts that are already translated into German are highly welcome!* ## Was erwartet Sie? Im Großen Salon der Schwartzsche Villa treffen Sie auf einen Kreis von Literaturbegeisterten, die Ihrem Text eine ernsthafte und fundierte Kritik spenden. Das Publikum wechselt. Es ist gemischt, geeint durch das Interesse an Texten. Die Autorinnen und Autoren des Abends lesen aus ihren bislang unveröffentlichten Kurzgeschichten, lyrischen Texten, Erzählungen, Romanen, manchmal auch aus Theaterstücken. Die Autoren stellen nicht sich selbst, sondern ihre Texte der Kritik. Wir verstehen uns als Arbeitsbühne. Deshalb wird bei uns nach den Lesungen nicht geklatscht. Die Texte werden nach der Lesung des Autors auf handwerkliche Stärken und Schwächen „abgeklopft“. Es geht im Forum daher nicht um weltanschauliche Debatten. Im Idealfall hat der Autor/die Autorin nach einer Lesung und der Kritik verstanden, wo die Stärken und Schwächen seines Textes liegen, woran es seinem Text noch fehlt, was er ändern sollte und wo er bei seiner Überarbeitung ansetzen kann. Der Abend endet gegen 22.00. Im Anschluss können Sie mit den Autoren im Café der Schwartzschen Villa noch ins Gespräch kommen und manches aus dem Literaturbetrieb erfahren. Wir sind im Kontakt auch mit namhaften Vertretern desselben. Also – nicht gleich verschwinden! Dranbleiben. Reden Sie mit den Forumianern! ## Sie möchten selbst lesen? Wenn Sie selbst im Autorenforum lesen wollen, gibt es einige Dinge zu beachten. Wir bitten Sie sehr herzlich, sich mindestens einmal vor Ihrer ersten Lesung bei uns mit unseren Gegebenheiten vertraut zu machen. Ihren Lesewunsch können Sie dann ab 19.30 Uhr (Einlass) bei der Moderatorin oder dem Moderator eines Leseabends anmelden. **Wir weisen ausdrücklich daraufhin, dass über die Annahme und Reihenfolge der Lesungen die jeweiligen Moderatoren entscheiden und es NICHT zwingend nach der Reihenfolge der Anmeldungen geht!** In der Regel reicht die Zeit nur für drei Autoren je Abend und die Nachfrage ist oft recht hoch. Falls Sie einen lyrischen Text vortragen möchten, bringen Sie bitte mindestens 10 (zehn) Kopien mit, damit Ihr Publikum mitlesen kann. Die Kopien erhalten Sie selbstverständlich zurück. # Wie üben wir Textkritik? Nach der Idee von Maik Turni ## **Anschleichen** **Wie wirkt der Text auf mich?** (Keine Angst vor Adjektiven! ) **Was habe ich gehört?** (Zusammenfassung (Nacherzählung)) **Was blieb unverstanden** (akustisch oder logisch) ## **Unter der Lupe** **Was ist das für ein Text?** (Prosa: Genre? Lyrik: Welche Art lyrischer Text?) **Thema** (Welches Thema berührt der Text? Hat der Autor sein Thema im Griff? Ist es überzeugend/plausibel/gut recherchiert, vielleicht sogar zu faktenreich?) **Figuren** (Wie wirken die Figuren? Wer ist die Hauptfigur? Welches Problem hat die Hauptfigur?) **Perspektive** (Wie verhält sich die Erzählperspektive zum Thema / zu den Figuren?) **Sprache** (Welche Bilder sind stimmig / welche nicht? Was lässt sich zum Rhythmus sagen? Sind die Sätze syntaktisch und grammatikalisch korrekt?) **Dramaturgie** (Schafft der Text es, Spannung zu erzeugen? In welcher Reihenfolge werden die Dinge erzählt?) **Bedeutung** (Gelingt es dem Autor, die Bedeutung, die er seinem Text geben will, auch im Leser entstehen zu lassen?) ## **Klarspüler** Fragen werden an den Text gestellt, nicht an den Autor! Daher sollte der Text antworten. ## **Weichspüler** Wird bei uns nicht verwendet. Aber es gilt: Nicht der Autor wird kritisiert, sondern der Text! Hart zum Text, sanft zum Autor!

Register: [https://globalai.community/e/7lns53g4](https://globalai.community/e/7lns53g4) ## Connected Intelligence: AI Builders Meetup — WeAreDevelopers PreDay, Berlin AI agents are moving into production. The question is no longer whether to use them, but what it actually takes to make them work once the demo is over. This WeAreDevelopers PreDay meetup is for builders, founders, and practitioners wiring AI agents into real codebases, CI/CD pipelines, developer platforms, and knowledge systems. The evening focuses on the honest conversations that rarely fit into a conference talk: what breaks at scale, what context engineering really looks like, and where the failure modes hide. The theme is **connected intelligence**: how graph-based reasoning, smarter pipelines, and agentic code review are changing production AI systems, and what engineering teams need to do differently to support them. We will explore constraint satisfaction in agent decision-making, agentic AI in production, AI-powered development workflows, and Java’s role in the future of AI systems. No vendor pitches. Just the stuff that runs in production.

**⭐ DOORS OPEN AT 19:30. PLEASE ARRIVE BEFORE 8PM! ⭐** The Creative Code Stammtisch is a casual show-and-tell for artists, makers, designers, coders, performers, learners and anyone interested in the use of computing skills for artistic expression. The event is free and open to all, regardless of age, origin, gender or experience. Beginners and first-timers should feel especially welcome! You don't have to be a coder yourself 😃 HOW TO FIND US? Find Prachtsaal Studio by crossing the courtyard next to Cafe Augusta on Jonasstr. 22, 12053 Berlin. WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT? We start with quick introductions, then open the floor to anyone who wants to present something. There are usually around six 10-minute slots available, plus time for questions from the audience. First-timers are encouraged to share their work. Topics range from net art to computational design and interactive installations all the way to wearable electronics or generative poetry. If you’re wondering whether your own project might fit, take a look at the [Stammtisch archive](https://creativecodeberlin.github.io/Stammtisch/) to see what others have shared in the past. This event is *not* just for coders! New-media artists and anyone working with technology in their art are very welcome to share.

Agent Decision-making as Constraint Satisfaction* Zebra Puzzles are a useful lens for understanding agentic reasoning. They require no domain knowledge, only structured constraint satisfaction. Real-world decisions, however, are messier: loan approvals, resource allocation, compliance, and approval routing often combine hard rules, soft rules, and human discretion. This session examines how different architectures approach structured decision-making and why recognizing constraint satisfaction problems changes how you build agents. You will learn how constraint networks, LLMs, and hybrid systems solve logical problems differently, how enterprise decisions often hide “Zebra Puzzles” beneath complexity, and when your agent needs search, inference, generation, or a hybrid approach. ### Ana Maria Mihalceanu, Java Champion Alumni and Developer Advocate, Oracle **Talk:** *Now and Next Java for AI* Tired of treating AI as a black-box REST endpoint? With JDK 25 and the Foreign Function and Memory API, Java developers can wire real models directly to native runtimes such as ONNX for fast CPU/GPU inference. This talk shows how to map tensor buffers to Java `MemorySegment`, switch execution providers, and build self-contained Java applications for inference. It also looks ahead to Project Babylon’s code reflection, where model logic can be expressed as Java code that can be analyzed and lowered to accelerator backends, reducing the need for external model files or glue languages. Build expressive and testable FFM-based inference today, and author pure Java AI-ready models tomorrow. ### CircleCI Speaker **Details TBC** ## Panel: Agentic AI in the Wild What does it take to move AI agents from proof of concept into systems that run reliably? This panel brings together practitioners from across the stack to discuss context management, failure modes, governance, production workflows, and what changes when agentic systems scale. Expect specific lessons, not talking points. ### Moderator **Dana Fine — Open Source and Community Manager, Qodo** Dana leads open-source programs and community at Qodo. She runs the GitHub User Group, CNCF local and GenAI communities, organizes the Bond AI meetup series, and has built developer communities across the cloud native and open-source ecosystem for years. ### Panelists **Nnenna Ndukwe — Developer Relations Lead, Qodo** Nnenna leads Developer Relations at Qodo, the AI code review platform. She is a software developer, applied AI researcher, and community builder with over a decade of experience across med-tech, fintech, and media-tech. A 2019 Google Women Techmakers Scholar, she focuses on integrating AI code review into modern development workflows for open source and enterprise teams at scale. **Sebastian Kister** Sebastian is a cloud pioneer and enterprise transformation practitioner known for implementing production-ready architecture for Agentic AI Operations in a large enterprise environment. An active CNCF and Linux Foundation member, he advocates for scalable platform ecosystems and a people-first approach: people first, then tools, then processes.

Join us for an evening of Flutter, Dart, and networking hosted by CarOnSale. We'll kick things off with a deep dive into one of Dart's newest language features, followed by a second session and plenty of time to connect with fellow developers from the Berlin Flutter community. **Schedule** **18:30 — Doors Open** Check in, grab a drink, and meet fellow Flutter developers from the Berlin community. **19:00 — Welcome Notes** A short introduction from Flutter Berlin and our hosts at CarOnSale. **Talk 1 — Hiding Complexity with Dart Extension Types — Roman** Extension types in Dart 3.3+ let you elegantly hide the real complexity behind clean abstractions. They enable powerful patterns for true compile-time singletons with strong privacy guarantees, while also letting you build robust zero-cost Value Objects that enforce domain invariants and create a clear ubiquitous language — all with zero runtime cost. **About Roman** Roman is a Google-awarded Flutter Developer and Staff Mobile Engineer at CarOnSale.de, where he has worked for 4 years as part of his 8 years of Flutter experience (and over a decade in design). He loves Dart as his primary language and Rust as a complementary one (along with TS/Swift), but believes strong programming fundamentals matter more than any specific syntax. In his role he mentors Flutter developers and shapes architecture solutions. Outside of work he prioritizes family and open-source. **Talk 2 — TBA** Our second session of the evening will be announced soon. **20:30 — Networking & Socialising** Meet fellow Flutter developers, exchange ideas, discuss the talks, and connect with the local community. **22:00 — Doors Close** We wrap up the evening and head home inspired with new ideas and connections.

You can sleep in on the Semiquincentennial (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.

**Practical Curiosity: Learning from Everyday Data** How do we actually get better at utilizing our day-to-day data? Fancy dashboards and complex models might look nice and draw attention, but that’s not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analyst’s daily practice. Sometimes it’s as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. There’s many different places that the spark of insight can come from, but you have to keep your head in the data and know where to look. In this session, we’ll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. You’ll leave with inspiration for your own use cases, along with a few simple ways to ask better questions, spot meaningful patterns, and make smarter decisions without overcomplicating it. **About Our Speaker:** [Elaine Armbruster](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elainearmbruster/) is a Director of Digital Experience at the [American Diabetes Association](https://diabetes.org/), where she focuses on using data and insights to create smarter, more effective digital experiences. A lifelong Columbus resident, she has built her career in email marketing and the broader digital user journey, and is finding she most enjoys working in the messy middle where systems, data, and big ideas don’t quite line up yet.

Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it “seems good,” and move on. That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable. In this talk, we’ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. We’ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork. This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it. We’ll cover: * Why “it looks good” is not enough * How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints * How to compare LLM outputs more systematically * Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness * How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results * Where automated evaluation works — and where humans still need to stay in the loop By the end, you’ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve. 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.
