Herzlich Willkommen zum WordPress Meetup Berlin! Auch im Jahr 2026 treffen wir uns weiterhin am letzten Mittwoch des Monats. Wir versuchen, abwechselnd Themen für Anwender\*innen und Developers behandeln. **Programm** 19:00 \| Einlass 19:15 \| Thema: Erstellen eigener Gutenberg\-Blocks Mit einem eigenen Gutenberg-Block macht man sich unabhängig von (möglicherweise kostenpflichtigen) Plugins, erweitert beliebig den Funktionsumfang des Editors und wird bei einer eigenen Umsetzung dank der Dokumentation auf developer.wordpress.org bestmöglich "an die Hand genommen". Matthias stellt euch in seinem Vortrag vor, was ihr dazu braucht und wie ihr die ersten Schritte gehen könnt. 20:15 \| "Flohmarkt" Jede\*r kann kurz ein Gesuch oder Angebot in wenigen Sätzen pitchen. Bitte achtet darauf, dass es nicht zu kommerziell wird. 20:30 \| Happiness Bar\, freies Networking & Gespräche\. Bei Fragen oder Problemen mit WordPress könnt ihr uns gerne ansprechen und wir helfen euch mit eurem Problem. Das nennen wir "Happiness Bar". **Teilnahme** Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos. Essen und Getränke können wir leider nicht bereitstellen. Es gibt einen Snack/Getränke-Automaten und einen Kaffee-Automaten in der Bibliothek. Ihr könnt euch auch gerne etwas mitbringen und im Meeting-Raum essen. In der Umgebung gibt es einige Bäckereien, Spätis und Imbisse. Wichtig ist nur, dass wir den Raum wieder sauber hinterlassen. Falls ihr euch angemeldet habt und es doch nicht schaffen solltet, meldet euch bitte ab, damit wir einen Überblick über die Teilnehmerzahl behalten. **Barrierefreiheit** Die Location ist barrierefrei für Rollstühle.

The longest day of the year is comming and let's another Kotlin meetup. This time we geather at N26! **⚠️⚠️⚠️ Due to a venue policy please submit the following form for additional details. Without it, you won't be allowed inside the venue:** https://forms.gle/XjqVXkD3FARCM6jA8 **Line-Up:** 👉 **TestBalloon: Kotlin testing is easier (and more fun) than you think** *by Oliver Okrongli* You want an easier way to write tests? Parameterize tests in plain Kotlin? Reuse a series of tests? Easily extend own your test setup? Have first-class support on all platforms? All without struggling with a huge framework API? TestBalloon is a new test framework that brings the power of Kotlin to your test setup. With a small-surface API, a hierarchical test structure and an extensible DSL, TestBalloon makes Kotlin testing easy, even at scale. Oliver, the author of TestBalloon, will show testing patterns and strategies and lots of practical examples, ranging from simple unit tests with less boilerplate to advanced testing with coroutines and generated data. This talk is based on insights first presented at KotlinConf 2026 in Munich. At the end of this talk, you’ll be able to firmly the answer the question: "How can I master Kotlin testing with ease, and make my team release with joy and confidence, every time?" 👉 **One Topic to Rule 'Em All** *by Yonatan Karp-Rudin* Kafka delivered every event exactly once, in order, and lost nothing. So what broke? This talk follows that question into the gap most event-driven systems leave open: what actually guarantees the order your domain depends on, and what quietly doesn't. We start from a real log line, find the crack in an architecture that looks clean and ships fast, and rule out the fix everyone reaches for first. The cure turns out to be one sentence of domain thinking plus one line of config, though the Schema Registry will fight you on the way there. A live demo runs the bug and the fix back to back: same load, same hero, one change. If you build with Kafka, you have probably shipped a version of this bug. You will leave able to spot it and fix it before it pages someone. 👉 **TBD** **Speaker Bios:** 🗣 Oliver Okrongli Oliver has been shaping and creating software from backend to frontends. He is the author of TestBalloon, a next-generation Kotlin test framework. Before, he has helped to maintain Kotest, and contributed to several libraries of the Kotlin ecosystem as well as the Kotlin compiler. Can be found on GitHub (OliverO2) and the kotlinlang Slack (Oliver O). When not developing, he is most probably in deep talks, dancing, snowboarding or F18 catamaran sailing whenever he gets a chance. 🗣 Yonatan Karp-Rudin Yonatan Karp-Rudin is a Staff Engineer at Billie, building event-driven systems in Kotlin and Spring Boot. Off the clock, he plays with AI agents and builds random tooling, trying to hand off as much of his own workflow to a machine as he can. The rest of the time he's brewing mead or deep in a video game. **🗣 TBD**

Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!

Welcome to Drunken Philosophy, a casual, curious, social discussion club. Come grab a drink and a seat at The Oracle. **Optional topic for this meetup: Where is everybody?** In 1950 the physicist Enrico Fermi was talking about aliens over lunch and asked a question that still has not gone away: if the universe is so vast and so old, and even a fraction of those billions of stars have planets, where is everyone? By the numbers the galaxy should be crowded with civilizations. Instead we look up and hear silence. That gap between "they should be everywhere" and "we see no one" is the Fermi Paradox. One of the most unsettling answers is the idea of a **Great Filter**: somewhere on the road from dead chemistry to a galaxy-spanning civilization, there is at least one step that is almost impossible to get past. Maybe the filter is behind us. Maybe life starting at all, or simple cells becoming complex, or intelligence ever evolving, is the freak accident, and we already cleared the hard part. Or maybe the filter is ahead of us, and advanced civilizations reliably wipe themselves out before they spread. Here is the part that messes with people. If we ever found life somewhere else, even pond scum on Mars, most people would call it the greatest discovery in history. But it might be the worst possible news. It would mean life is common, the early steps are easy, and the hard step is still in front of us. So the eerie silence overhead might actually be the best sign we could ask for. **Questions to wrestle with:** * Is it better to be alone? Would you rather we find alien life and learn we are not special, or find nothing and quietly improve our odds of surviving? * Where do you bet the filter sits, behind us or ahead of us, and why? * If it is ahead of us, what is it? Nuclear war, climate collapse, AI, something we cannot even picture yet? And can we do anything about a filter we cannot see coming? * Does any of this change how you live, or how humanity should be spending its time and money right now? As always the prompt is optional. Come for the conversation, stay for the drinks, and bring your own questions.

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD

If there's something you want to learn leave a comment on this invite so we can plan ahead. We're looking for speakers for our Monthly Meetups!
