There Must Be a Lilac: EventStorming with Alberto Brandolini
He's back! The inventor of EventStorming is once again joining the Berlin Collaborative Modeling Meetup for an evening of massive learning, massive laughter, and no doubt a massive number of sticky notes.
Here is the agenda:
**Collaborative Reverse Roadmapping**
We'll put future events on a timeline to build the future we want to happen and make it tactically sound. We'll leverage ideas from
* EventStorming (surprise!)
* Futurespective
* Traditional planning
And we'll explore a tool that will enable strategic planning and overcome deadlocks.
This is a rare opportunity to spend time with a true thought leader in the DDD community and the person who contributed to the world the whole premise of our meetup. He's full of insights and stories, wit and wisdom, and we are lucky to have him drop by to share them with us. Don't miss this one!
**Please do not RSVP if you do not intend to come. For this event only, we have to limit attendance.**
As always, everyone is welcome. You don't need to be a software engineer to participate. In fact, it would be great to have more people who aren't software engineers. We're here to solve problems cross-functionally, not get into implementation details. As long as you care passionately about getting things right, then you belong here!
This is a hands-on workshop. Be prepared to participate fully and add to the energy of the room. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Berliner IT-Stammtisch für Freelancer vom DBITS e.V.
Hallo,
es ist wieder so weit, der zweite Freitag im März ist schon diese Woche. Deshalb habe ich im Neffes am Freitag Abend für uns den hintere Bereich reserviert und ich freue mich schon, euch wieder persönlich zu sehen!
Und hier der übliche Ankündigungstext:
Unser zweimonatliches Treffen steht wieder an!
An jedem zweiten Freitag eines ungeraden Monats treffen wir Selbstständige, Unternehmer und Freiberufler aus der IT uns wieder um 19:00 Uhr im Neffes.
Bei einem gemütlichen Zusammensein werden wir uns über fast alle Themen unterhalten.
Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf den beruflichen Themen. Z. B. wie gehen andere mit den Kunden und deren Mitarbeitern um, was sind die neuesten Insider Infos von den verschiedenen Unternehmen, wie sieht es bei den anderen mit den Einsatzorten und Arbeitsbedingungen aus und vieles mehr.
Es wird wie immer ein interessanter Abend mit einem umfangreichen Erfahrungsaustausch werden, der einen auch beruflich weiterbringt.
Mit dem DBITS e.V. wollen wir die Anerkennung von IT-Freiberuflern in der Gesellschaft und Politik vorantreiben. Dort gibt es leider noch einen sehr großen Aufhol- und Aufklärungsbedarf und damit viel zu besprechen und zu erfahren. Des Weiteren bietet uns der Verein ein breites Netzwerk an Leuten mit den gleichen Zielen und Problemen.
Aber wie gesagt, das Ziel ist ein schöner, informativer Abend, es gibt kein Mitgliederzwang.
Nimm teil, ich freue mich schon auf Dich!
Viele Grüße und eine gute Zeit bis zum nächsten Freitag!
Lazy Saturday Liar Games
Saturday afternoons are perfect to play some lazy liar games, if you have nothing better to do.
We are a group of friendly people who will teach you how to play these easy social deduction games . Amazing way to meet new people and have some good company during weekend.
**IMPORTANT**
It's relaxed playing, nothing for ambitious gamers or people who take it too serious.
Waiting list policy:
When spots open up, we try to bring in a good mix — some regulars we can count on and some new faces to keep things fresh. That means not everyone will get picked every time, but don’t take it the wrong way — it’s just about balance. There’ll always be more chances to join!

Fimlscreening in Babylon Berlin „Nanoplastics. Threat to Life“ EN/DE
EN: **Film Screening at Babylon Berlin**
**“Nanoplastics – Threat to Life”**
March 7 \| 2:00–6:30 PM
This documentary explores one of the most urgent environmental and public health issues of our time: micro- and nanoplastics — invisible, yet already present in our environment and even in our bodies.
Nanoplastics affect our health, ecosystems, and climate processes. The film brings together current scientific findings and highlights what makes nanoplastics particularly dangerous: their ability to accumulate electrostatic charge — a largely overlooked factor with far-reaching consequences.
🧬 What impact does this have on our health?
🌍 What does this mean for our future?
A global environmental problem that urgently requires societal responses.
🎬 Language: English with German subtitles
A discussion and Q&A session will follow the screening.
🎟 Free admission
📩 Please register in advance
📍 Address: Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße 30, 10178 Berlin (Mitte, opposite the Volksbühne)

DE: Filmvorführung im Babylon Berlin
„Nanoplastik – Die unsichtbare Lebensgefahr“ (Nanoplastics. Threat to Life)
Am 7.03. von 14:00–18:30 Uhr
Die Dokumentation beleuchtet eines der dringendsten Umwelt- und Gesundheitsthemen unserer Zeit: Mikro- und Nanoplastik – unsichtbar, aber längst in unserer Umwelt und sogar in unserem Körper angekommen.
Nanoplastik beeinflusst unsere Gesundheit, Ökosysteme und Klimaprozesse. Der Dokumentarfilm fasst aktuelle wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse zusammen und zeigt, was Nanoplastik besonders gefährlich macht: seine Fähigkeit, elektrostatische Ladung zu akkumulieren, ein bislang wenig beleuchteter Faktor mit weitreichenden Auswirkungen.
🧬 Welche Auswirkungen hat das auf unsere Gesundheit?
🌍 Was bedeutet das für unsere Zukunft?
Ein globales Umweltproblem, das dringend gesellschaftliche Antworten braucht.
🎬 Sprache: Englisch mit deutschen Untertiteln
Im Anschluss gibt es eine Diskussions- und Fragerunde.
🎟 Der Eintritt ist frei.
📩Um kurze Voranmeldung wird gebeten.
📍 Adresse: Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße 30, 10178 Berlin (Mitte, gegenüber der Volksbühne)

CBusData - Discover the Power of Window Functions
Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems:
* Using running totals
* Performing operations in intervals
* Identifying data gaps and islands
* Performing aggregates without losing detail
Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.
Humanist Program: Fighting the Efforts to Insert Religion into Public Education
The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event.
Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk.
Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association:
They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved.
Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online
