Ultimate Frisbee in the Park - 2026 edition
Hi everyone. We'll meet and play a relaxed game of ultimate in Volkspark Rehberge if the weather cooperates.
Our games focus on having great team play, where the teams work together to advance the disk down the field. It's more important to work well together as a team than have a few star players get a point with lucky shots. For this reason, players of all skill levels (especially those who have never played) are welcome to join
Bring plenty of water, shoes you can run in and comfortable clothing that can get a bit dirty.
Although we're an established group, newcomers are always welcome.
After the game we try to spend some time together and have fun.
Finding us: We meet in this big grassy area, it's a short bike ride from the subway stop Rehberge on the U6 or Amrumer Strasse on the U9. It can be a bit tricky to find the first time, so we've got a few methods to help out (don't trust the meetup map pin, it often shows some point in the park, not the exact spot where we are)

PIXELS2GENAI EXHIBITION
Some friends of PyData are organising the following event, and we think it would be great to share it with the community.
Pixels2GenAI is an exhibition by software developers creating computer art. We have used equations, algorithms, and AI models to generate images and
installations. The artists explore the space between hand-programmed images, the aesthetics of mathematical rules, and AI as an art-making tool. Works by the following artists will be on display:
* Burak Kağan Yılmazer
* Sara Maras
* Alexander Hendorf
* Hansu Kim
* Maris Niewenhuis
* Ewa Rother

Since the first event was **awesome** let's do another one. Join me for a playful **photo challenge** where you’ll spend an hour exploring the neighborhood like you’re visiting it for the very first time.
We’ll wander past neon signs, street-art explosions, colorful corners, stairwells, murals, markets, and hidden details you normally walk right past. Your mission should you choose to accept it, is to:
### **Capture Schöneberg with fresh eyes — find colors, small surprises, and moments that a tourist would notice.**
Anyone with a phone can join. Come solo or bring friends — we’ll make teams on the spot!
***
## 🕹 **How the Challenge Works**
**3:30 PM – Meet at Apostel-Paulus-Kirchengemeinde**
We’ll greet everyone, form teams (2–3 people), and explain the rules.
**Start your walk — 1 hour of exploring + shooting**
Turn on **Tourist Mode** and rediscover the neighborhood. Your team can submit up to **15 photos** that best fit the theme. You can use one phone or combine photos from multiple team members.
**15 minutes of scoring**
Once time is up, we will gather at a cafe where teams will anonymously score photos from other teams based on creativity, theme fit, and overall vibe. Each team will score one photo from every other team.
**Leaderboard reveal + Prize!**
Results appear instantly. The top team wins a prize!
You’ll receive a link at the meetup to register your team, upload photos, and score other teams.
***
## 🌆 **Why Join?**
* See the neighborhood in a totally new way
* Meet new people and explore together
* Get a fun walk outdoors
* Boost your creativity and photo eye
* Enjoy a friendly, light-hearted competition
* Optional hangout afterward at a nearby café/restaurant

## ❓ **FAQ**
**Do I need a fancy camera?**
Nope! Your phone is perfect.
**Can I join alone?**
Absolutely — we’ll create teams at the start.
**How big are the teams?**
Usually 2–3 people, depending on turnout.
**What if I’m late?**
Try to be on time, but if you’re a few minutes late, send a message in the Meetup chat and we’ll do our best to place you in a group.
**Is it competitive?**
Just enough to be fun! The vibe is friendly, creative, and social.
**What should I bring?**
* Charged phone
* Comfortable shoes
* Weather-appropriate clothing
* (Optional) A friend
* (Optional) Tourist-level curiosity 😉
**Where do we see the leaderboard?**
Right on the platform using the link we’ll share.
Lazy Liar Games -Farewell Brewdog edition
Sunday afternoon is 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. Today we are saying goodbye to Brewdog - after almost 10 years
**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!
Wild garlic pesto - Berliner Lauch
If you come to S Treptower Park: Walk along the riverside. Behind the bridge that crosses the river to an island, you'll find a car park that borders Plänterwald. Stefanie walks that path, I'll be waiting directly on the car park.
A four year running tradition: We meet near S Treptower Park, walk to Plänterwald and collect wild garlic to make our own Pesto.
Der **Wunderlauch** (Allium paradoxum), auch **Berliner Bärlauch** genannt, stammt ursprünglich aus dem **Kaukasus** und wurde als Zier- oder Nutzpflanze nach Mitteleuropa eingeführt. In Berlin, insbesondere im **Plänterwald**, hat er sich stark ausgebreitet und gilt dort als **invasive Art**.
Wir sammeln die Blätter, waschen sie, mörsern sie mit Nüssen und Öl und essen frisches Pesto auf gutem Brot :)

17 km Round tour between Dahme and Großer Müggelsee (5.5 km/h)
Sunday will hopefully be a sunny day. We’ll meet at S-Bahn station Grünau, on the sidewalk level inside the station (exit Adlergestell/Wassersportallee). We will hike this tour: https://www.komoot.com/de-de/discover/S%E2%80%91Bahnhof_Berlin-Gr%C3%BCnau/@52.4128380,13.5736270/tours?sport=hike&map=true&toursThroughHighlight=388182&focusedTour=1268215602&pageNumber=1 , but make a shortcut in the middle of the tour. Please prepare for a rather speedy hike. (Bring comfortable shoes, for instance.) There are no cafés or restaurants along the way, so bring your own food and drinks.
If you need to contact other participants during the hike (for example, to find out where to meet us if you are running late), please use the Signal group link that I will send to all participants via private message three hours before the hike. This timing is intended to prevent non-participants from misusing the link for unwanted advertising, which has happened in the past. Signal also allows us to share our locations during the hike without involuntarily forwarding this information to the intelligence services of authoritarian or non-authoritarian states. For all other purposes, especially socialising and posting photos, please use the Telegram subgroup 'Event Chat & Photos': https://t.me/addlist/KAOk2PA4BDE0ZTY8 .
The hike will take place if at least 6 people sign up. As long as there are more than 6 people, you can sign up and cancel as many times as you like. If there are 6 or less people, please avoid cancelling, as this might make the other participants feel insecure about whether the hike will take place (or whether there is something wrong with the hike and they should cancel as well --> [Matthew effect - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_effect)). If there are less than 6 participants, the hike will also take place unless the majority of the participants are in favor of canceling the hike.

Hike around Schmöckwitzer Werder – at “Alt-Schmöckwitz” stop on tram line 68
Located in the far southeast of Berlin, Schmöckwitzer Werder is a popular destination for day trips. The wooded peninsula invites you to hike along the shores of Zeuthener See and Krossinsee lakes. Various picnic areas invite you to rest and let your gaze wonder across the water. There are also places to swim.
We meet in Alt-Schmöckwitz at the terminus of tram line 68. From there, we cross the bridge over the Dahme River and immediately reach Schmöckwitzer Werder. From here, the trail leads us south between the edge of the forest and the shore of Lake Zeuthen to the Rauchfangswerder settlement at the tip of Schmöckwitzer Werder. We will circle the tip of the peninsula, where there is also an opportunity to take a picnic break. Please bring your own food and drink as there is no opportunity to purchase anything during the hike. At the shore of Lake Krossin, we will head north again and back to Alt-Schmöckwitz where our tour ends. Here, those who wish, can conclude the tour at on of the various cafés and restaurants available.

\*\*NEW SPEAKER
\*Please note, that we will be using Microsoft Teams for the online portion of this meeting. You may want to join a few minutes early to ensure you do not have any issues. If you are attending in person, there are large TVs at the office, and you do not need to bring a laptop or use Teams.
CBusData: The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again.
We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all.
Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.
