Please bring clean indoor shoes with you to the location <3

Hey You!
On this Friday I will teach you a few basic steps of shuffling. We will break down the steps, in your time, in your style.
We will explore your own flow of your body to different kinds of music and how we can use it in shuffling. I want to create a safe space for everyone who is just starting their shuffle journey or is already on the path.

“Aziza-tanzt Tanzschule”
Hallo Du!
Diesen Freitag möchte ich Dir ein paar Basic-Schritte vom Shufflen zeigen. Wir werden die Schritte langsam durchgehen, in deiner Zeit, in deinem Tempo.
Wir werden den eigenen Flow entdecken und wie Du deinen Körper zu verschiedner Musik im Shufflen integrieren kannst.
Ich möchte für jede Person einen Safe-Space erschaffen, egal ob Du ganz Neu bist oder schon etwas gelernt hast.

The Gift of Folding @ Das Gift 🎁
An origami tradition has by now taken root at **[Das Gift](https://www.instagram.com/dasgiftberlin/)**, a cosy Scottish pub (special info for all post-rock fans: Mogwai was its previous owner! 😱) in central Neukölln. Known for its creative spirit and friendly vibe, it’s the perfect backdrop for an evening full of origami, good company, and pretending we are far more coordinated than we actually are 🍺
What you can expect at all our events:
* **Mandatory donation (amount of your choice)** – this supports essential costs like the Meetup subscription and keeps our community thriving 🌱 You can either submit a **physical donation** to the event host in person or make a **digital donation** **[here](https://paypal.me/origamiberlin?locale.x=de_DE&country.x=DE)** (and inform the host afterwards).
* In-person folding practice for all levels – beginners and experienced folders are equally welcome.
* Origami paper + model instructions will be provided (from the host’s collection, for reference only). Feel free to bring your own favorite sheets or tools!
* Photos may be taken for memories & our archive (Meetup, Instagram, Telegram) – let the host know if you prefer not to appear.
* **We kindly encourage everyone to order at least one drink/snack to support [Das Gift](https://www.instagram.com/dasgiftberlin/) for hosting us!** They are also kind enough to allow outside food, so feel free to bring something to snack on or share with the group if you wish!
⚠️ **RSVP Policy – Please Read** ⚠️
Our community has grown a lot since its birth in August 2024, which is amazing — but it also means we need to handle RSVPs more carefully:
* RSVP opens **7 days before** each event (apart from short-notice events) and closes at **noon on the event day**.
* Please cancel your spot or contact the host directly (via Meetup message function or our [Telegram channel](https://t.me/+T4URs80l2ig3NWNi)) by **noon on the event day** if you can't make it last minute.
* Members with **2 no-shows** (without notice) will be removed from the group unless a valid reason is provided.
Thank you for keeping things fun and reliable together as a community! 🙏
Get in touch if you have questions anytime, see you all at the folding tables very soon! 🍺
Reading Party ☕️📚
\*\*\*\*\*\*
***For address and more details see the website www.pausify.org***
\*\*\*\*\*\*
**Event Info:**
Bring along your **current book to read** (or something **creative** to work on ) and join us for this mix of a shared focus time + discussion.
\- 19:00\-19:30 \- Meet & greet
\- 19:30\-20:30 \- Silent focus time
\- 20:30 \- Discussion of books/ projects over coffee
**Drinks & snacks are included** ☕️
* **To reserve your place, a ticket (€11,90/event) or a community pass (only €24,90/MONTH) [from the website ](www.pausify.org)*www.pausify.org* is required**
* **Attendance here doesn’t show all sign-ups from other platforms.**
***FAQ: Why does it cost money if I bring my own project?***
Because we rent a beautiful, central space for every event. Ever thought your monthly apartment rent was too high? Well, multiply that – that’s what commercial spaces in big cities like Berlin cost *per hour*.
Of course, if all you want is just some quiet time, your home or a library is perfect. But if you’d like to focus & connect with others in an inspiring space – with drinks, snacks included – that’s what your ticket helps to cover.
See pics from our events below - and on our Instagram: **[@Pausify (Co-Reading Space)](https://www.instagram.com/pausify_org/) ☕️**
**[Pausify Co-Reading Space Website ](www.pausify.org/)*www.pausify.org***
For questions, please contact us over [Website](www.pausify.org/) ***www.pausify.org*** as this platform can have issues. Thank you!

The exact meeting spot can be seen in the photo below!
We meet on the 1st floor where the trash sculpture can be seen. Look for a meetup sign or organizer wearing a black or red lanyard with "staff" written on it.
**2.) Walk & Talk to the Kerb food court**
The best part. In order to extend the walk we'll stroll all the way to Brandenburger gate and from there to the former Sony Center where we are going to enter the Kerb foodcourt.
**3\. How to find the Kerb food court**
[https://maps.app.goo.gl/xJTQg9oBoGL67syz7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/xJTQg9oBoGL67syz7)
Kerb is located at the former Sony Center. The new flagship food court of Potsdamer Platz. Most likely we will be sitting upstairs on the first floor next to the bar (take the stairs to the left).
***Best ways to get there:***
1\. U2 \(subway\):
Get off at Potsdamer Platz and walk around 7 min to Kerb.
2\. Bus M41 or M85
Get off at Potsdamer Platz and walk 5 min to Kerb.
*Who is this meetup for:*
1\. Asians who want to practice German and/or English\.
2\. German speaking individuals who are studying \(preferably\) Japanese\, Korean\, Mandarin or Cantonese\.
3\. Anyone who is interested in cultural exchange and wants to socialize\.

2\. A collaborating venue where you can further socialize with other members\.
*important: This event is held at the same time and meeting location like the "Networking & Language Exchange - 🍖international🍻" one. So I'm basically organizing 2 events at the same time which means that you can expect way more people than on the list.*
***
Whenever you attend a meetup, the most common as well as first question you get is: "Where are you from?"
You probably heard this question a million times. Well, at least I did.
From my own experience of attending over 200 international meetups in various countries such as Germany, Japan, Australia and Thailand, I can tell you that asking for the name is a better approach.
“A person’s name is to that person, the sweetest, most important sound in any language.” - Dale Carnegie
If you really want to connect with like-minded people you should remember their name, but you don't have to remember every persons name you've talked you. Be picky about that, don't be me who can somehow remember everyones name easily.
Don't tell yourself sth. like "I'm bad at remembering names." It's all about developing the habit of asking for a name and keep the conversation going on.
Furthermore, you want to learn German or any other language. Learning the local language is crucial to connect with the locals and developing a true friendship.
This can be accomplished with immersion. My goal is to inspire you to go out of your comfort zone and improve yourself each time you join this meetup.
Köpenick Forest Hike 🌲🌊 with later on Coffee in Altstadt ☕🏰
2 EURO DONATION FEE PER PERSON IS REQUIRED (on site, in cash), to pay back the Meetup subscription fees and support my Events.
READ THE DESCRIPTION WITH THE INFO (IMPORTANT).
WHATSAPP LINK BELOW 📳
We meet at 10,45 o'clock at Köpenick S3 Bahn Station 🚉 :
[https://maps.app.goo.gl/LzwFbtEWpfX48BpY6](https://maps.app.goo.gl/LzwFbtEWpfX48BpY6)
I wait about 10 minutes for the people and then we take the Bus 169 to Rübezahl Bus Stop 🚐 at 11 o'clock
[https://maps.app.goo.gl/se9XdztEYDGhMief6](https://maps.app.goo.gl/se9XdztEYDGhMief6)
There is one bus every 10 minutes, so if we are a lot of people (as I hope 🤪) we can divide in 2 buses and the people of the first bus wait for the others at Rübezahl Bus Stop 🚐.
Once we reach the Rübezahl Bus Stop, we start our Hike following this path 🌲🌲🌊
[https://www.komoot.com/tour/2110316224](https://www.komoot.com/tour/2110316224)
The path is a loop of 15kms, so, at the end, we will come back to the Rübezahl Bus Stop again.
Bring your own food🍔 and drinks🥤, for the 15kms of Hike (we will pause where we deem appropriate).
After the Hike, for the people who want to go on to stay together, we can take bus/tram from the Rübezahl Bus Station to Altstadt Köpenick, where there are some Coffee Shops ☕ open on Saturday afternoon.
Of course, people who want to come back at home right after the Hike, can instead do it
You are free to stay shorter or longer 🙂🙂🙂
I do not provide a "personal support" for people who arrive after the second bus at 11,10.
You are responsible to check for the weather and decide if come or not.
Thanks for understanding.
If you have to contact me, make it via Whatsapp, not here on Meetup.

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
**Abstract**
Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively.
This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way.
