Hi, we are an international reformed evangelical church located in Berlin Tiergarten. The next sunday after the valentine weekend (the 22nd Feb, not the 15th Feb), we hosting a choral service on sunday. It is like your regular church service, but we will put more emphasize on the singing, choir, or the music so that it will have a bit of that concert vibe. There will be some pieces from Mendelssohn, Faure, Gounod, etc. Come over if you like music in general and have no issue to visit a church service (you never know here in Berlin, some people are very opposed :))

What if your AI agent could talk to other agents… without you in the middle? 👀 Welcome to **Sprint #2 of the Agentic AI Engineering Lab** — a hands-on playground for developers, tinkerers, and curious minds. This time, we’re diving into the **[A2A (Agent-to-Agent) Protocol](https://a2a-protocol.org/)**, an emerging open standard designed to enable seamless communication and collaboration between autonomous AI agents. We won’t just talk about it....We’ll build, experiment and break it. Join us to see what happens. *** ### 🧪 What We’ll Do **10:00** — Quick round of introductions **10:10** — Intro session: Understanding the A2A Protocol **10:30** — Build time (hands-on experimentation) **12:00** — Live demos + technical teardown **12:45** — Wrap-up + takeaways *** ### 🚀 What to Expect * Hands-on building, not passive listening * Real agent-to-agent experiments * Collaboration with fellow builders * Fast ideas, quick tests, lots of learning *** ### 🚫 What Not to Expect * Long lectures * Step-by-step tutorials * Sales pitches * Perfect code This is a **lab** — we learn by building, breaking, and iterating. *** ### 👩‍💻 Who Should Join Curious developers, tinkerers, and engineers, with basic knowledge of AI Agents. Bring: * Laptop with dev setup * Access to an LLM (Claude / OpenAI / Ollama) * Comfort building small things in any language *** ### 📍 Location We first assemble at **Steinecke** (opposite **Martin-Luther Hospital**) before heading to the private boardroom.

📅 **Week 5 Focus: Creating Flash Cards** Each 7-week cycle focuses on a small, well-defined part of a larger system—and over time, these cycles build toward a complete, real-world project Feel free to join at any week and we will catch you up. There is no need to be at the beginning of the cohort to build. Complete beginners welcomed! 📌 By the End of a Full Cycle, You should Have 🎯 A working project in your own GitHub repo 🎯 A small but real portfolio piece you can demo or write about 🧠 **Current Project** This cycle’s shared project is an **image-based knowledge extraction system**. In Week 4, we tried **LLM-based APIs** to extract structured information from images. **In** **Week 5** we will systematically converting segmented images and extracted text into standardized flashcards — padding, resizing, formatting, and preparing them for print. * \*\*\* **👋 Who Is This For?** 🔹 Beginners who learn best by doing — no prior experience needed 🔹 Career switchers from product, engineering, design, marketing, or other fields who want to break into data 🔹 Analysts, engineers, and PMs looking to sharpen their skills or build real-world projects 🔹 Data professionals who want a creative playground outside of work 🔹 Anyone with big questions and a love for learning through experimentation \*\*\* **BUILD. LEARN. EXPERIMENT. OVER COFFEE.** Come hang out, meet like-minded people, and work on something fun. 📍 Based in Berlin – in-person meetups only (for now!) 💻 Laptops + ☕ highly encouraged Join our Discord → [https://discord.gg/dPnmzcCP8w](https://discord.gg/dPnmzcCP8w) Check out our program resources: [Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15DmZqD4bLBk2vU4zpvh1HiB3_5n09v-q?usp=sharing) \*\*\* ✨ Who’s Hosting?

Welcome to Sunday Tech Coffee. This is a **networking** event for those in the tech industry in Berlin. We are usually inside and to the right. Ask the barista/bartender if you can't find us.

**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 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** *Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit: From Intent to Implementation* Spec-driven development flips the traditional workflow on its head: instead of code being the source of truth, the specification becomes the backbone of design, collaboration, and delivery. In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA

We will show a variety of methods for building agents that run in Microsoft Foundry. This covers the different types of agents: Prompt, Multi, and Hosted, as well as the development lifecycle using evals and traces.

Join us at Losing Weight in Columbus at Bloc Garten on a Saturday afternoon. This will be an active and engaging day, in lieu of our weekly check in. Why climbing you may ask? Because that's what I know best, and also since its and indoor sport, its great for a winter time hobby! Join us and find out what it's all about! We'll also do a brief check in to see how everyone is doing. 🚨🚨 Day passes cost 23$ + 7$ shoe rental fee for a total of 30$ 🚨🚨 [https://5.life/bg/](https://5.life/bg/)

Meeting @ Improving's office in Downtown Columbus, near Cosi. Parking is paid, food & drink are free! This time we're hanging out after the long winter break. We are going to look at a group-member's project used to help learn the fundamentals of Go, and if time allows, we can take a look at how we like to build Go projects using AI.
