Open Draw
Kommt am 2. Montagabend im Monat ins Offene Wohnzimmer zum Open Draw!
Raucht Euch auch manchmal der Kopf von zu viel PC-Arbeit? Der Asphalt der Stadt ist heute wieder viel zu grau? Ihr würdet am liebsten mal wieder wild auf einem Blatt Papier rumklecksen oder gedankenverlorene Linien zeichnen?
Höchste Zeit zur Tat zu schreiten!
Wir wollen in entspannter Atmosphäre die kreativen Zellen auf Volldampf fahren und uns der Inspiration überlassen. Mit Musik im Hintergrund sowie Wein, Tee und Snacks im Repertoire wird dann gekleckst, gemalt, gezeichnet, geklebt, geredet und gelacht. Das Ganze kann sehr ambitioniert stattfinden, aber genauso zum Hirn-abschalten dienen. Austausch, Bilderswapping und gegenseitige Tipps/Kritik sind sehr willkommen.
Material stellen wir (Kreide, Bleistift, Wasserfarbe, Acrylfarbe, Pastellstifte, Kohle, Papierbögen, Spiegel, Postkarten, Zeichenbücher, Illustrierte).
Sujet kann alles sein: Der/die Tischnächste, der letzte Traum, oder der Feldhase Dürers. Technik auch: Von (Selbst)portrait über Stilleben bis zur Comiczeichnung soll alles abgedeckt werden.
Wir bieten jeden 2. Montag im Monat offene Treffen zum kreativen Arbeiten sowie gelegentlich technik- und themenbasierte Workshops an.
Wie immer wird um eine Spende für Raummiete/Material von 5-10€ gebeten.
Anmeldung: Katharinav.runnen@gmx.de
Rhetorik Training - Mut & Rede TM Neukölln - wg. Ostern am 2. Montag im April
Liebe Freunde des gesprochenen Wortes,
Ob es darum geht, ein Meeting zu leiten oder im Familienkreis einen Toast auszusprechen – diese Situation vor Menschen zu stehen und etwas zu vermitteln kennt so gut wie jeder. Wir lernen gemeinsam, dabei gelassen und souverän zu bleiben, wertvolle Informationen zu transportieren und unser Publikum zu begeistern.
**Was macht unseren Club besonders?**
Unser "Mut und Rede" Club trägt nicht umsonst seinen Titel: wir pflegen einen wertschätzenden Umgang miteinander, sodass die Hemmschwelle möglichst gering ist, sich selbst auf die Bühne zu trauen.
**Wie läuft so ein Clubabend ab?**
Es warten vorbereitete Reden auf euch, aber auch ihr habt die Möglichkeit in geschütztem Raum eine spontan improvisierte freie Rede von 1 bis 2 min vor Publikum zu halten. Das klingt vielleicht im ersten Moment etwas abschreckend – aber es ist eine ganz tolle Erfahrung über sich selbst hinauszuwachsen. Und egal was passiert, ihr werdet immer für Euren Mut belohnt. Und es wird auch immer geklatscht.
Wir freuen uns, Euch kennenzulernen!
Hier findest du die genaue Wegbeschreibung:
www.mut-und-rede.de/kontakt#anfahrt
Um besser planen zu können freuen wir uns über vorherige Anmeldung:
https://www.mut-und-rede.de
Es findet grundsätzlich jeder Clubabend statt, auch wenn laut meetup nur wenige Teilnehmer zugesagt haben.

Participants are kindly asked **not to arrive too far in advance** at the house.
If someone arrives much earlier, Denizen may ask them to pay either for a drink (consumption) or for a **day pass**, as the space is a co-working environment during the day. **Please remember, our event is only happening from 18:00 to 20:00**

The Sprachcafé has a **participation fee of 5 €**, which helps cover organizational costs and **includes one soft drink for free**.
Tickets can be purchased directly on the day of the event, card and cash payments are accepted.
As the Sprachcafé has become very popular, we now need to **limit the number of participants**. Please understand this measure; it ensures that everyone has a comfortable space to practice.
We kindly ask you to be **rücksichtsvoll** and only RSVP “Yes” if you are certain you can attend.
If your plans change at the last minute, please update your RSVP so someone on the waiting list can take your spot.
Getting your ticket early can help secure your place.
**Please note**
Our event will begin **promptly** at the scheduled start time.
If you arrive late, we cannot guarantee your participation, even if you have a ticket or have RSVP’d.
We encourage all guests to arrive on time to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Flight Levels® Flight Club #11
**Flight Levels® Flight Club #11 - This time, we are doing something different!**
For this **Flight Club** we’re playing a **hands-on flow game** where dice represent capacity, work moves across a simple board, and the system throws in the occasional surprise just to keep you on your toes.
We’ll spend about 2 hours playing in small teams, then do a quick chat about what we noticed, and how it relates to our working environment. No prior knowledge needed and everyone is welcome. We will...
* Play in multiple small teams
* Roll dice, move work and see what happens
* Capture data and metrics for analysis
* Have some fun, and learn something
* Quick debrief, and
* Some networking opportunities
Snacks and refreshments will also be available :-)
The evening will look something like this...
17:30 — Arrival and socialising
18:00 — Start and introductions
18:15 — Simulation rules and constraints
18:30 — Simulation begins
20:30 — Debrief
20:45 — Wrap up
21:00 — Finish
**We will start on time, so please be punctual.**
Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday April 16th.
Agentic Software Engineering Night #1
AI is changing the way we build software. Agentic Software Engineering takes this a step further. Rather than using AI only for isolated tasks, teams work with specialized AI agents that take on concrete responsibilities across the software lifecycle, from planning and coding to testing and documentation. These agents operate in clearly defined roles and are coordinated through structured workflows. Developers set the goals and guardrails, guide how the agents are used, and review the outcomes. The result is a new kind of collaboration between humans and machines, with a stronger focus on quality, speed, and scalability.
The first Agentic Software Engineering Night Berlin will take place on **April 14, 2026**. Join us for two talks by **Torben Keller** and **Johannes Rave**, plus plenty of time for discussion and networking.
**Agenda:**
18:30 Open Doors
19:00 **From Vibe Coder to Code Owner**
– Torben Keller
An AI agent can generate thousands of lines of code in a few minutes. That's powerful – and overwhelming. You can't read and fully understand every line anymore when you want to take advantage of agents. But if you're shipping to production, you own that code. So, how do you take responsibility for something you didn't write and can't fully review?
This isn't a new problem. Developers working on brownfield projects face it every day. You join a team and inherit a codebase with hundreds of thousands of lines written by people who left years ago. You don't know every line – yet you ship features, fix bugs, and take ownership. But how?
The same principles apply to AI-generated code. What we've learned from decades of working with legacy systems and inherited codebases translates directly to the age of vibe coding.
In this talk, you'll learn:
* What brownfield development teaches us about owning code we didn't write
* How to build an "Agent Harness" that integrates these practices into your AI workflow, ensuring agents follow your rules and standards
**About Torben:**
*Torben is a consultant at INNOQ, where he focuses on how software teams can work effectively with AI agents. His main area of expertise is the shift from traditional coding to Agentic Software Engineering, in which developers orchestrate multiple AI agents to carry out autonomous tasks across the development process. He also teaches INNOQ’s three-day [Agentic Software Engineering training](https://www.innoq.com/en/topics/agentic-software-engineering-training/) and regularly speaks at conferences and meetups, where he shares practical insights and proven strategies for introducing agentic development approaches.*
19:45 Break
20:00 – **No Constrain, No Gain: Structure for the Agent, Clarity for the Human, Flexibility for the Business**
– Johannes Rave
AI coding agents are remarkably good at producing code. Whether that code reflects what the business actually needs — and whether it still makes sense to work with six months later — is a rather different question. The temptation is to treat this as a prompting problem — give the agent more context, better instructions, clearer goals. An overlooked lever is paying attention to architecture. When domain logic has its own clearly bounded home, separated from the technical plumbing around it, something interesting happens: the agent stays focused, the human can actually review what matters, and the whole thing remains open to change without requiring a rewrite. This talk shares one approach to getting there — and how some well-placed constraints might set you free.
**About Johannes:**
*Johannes Rave is a Senior Consultant at INNOQ. He develops LLM-first applications and high-performance web services. He connects design and usability with scalable architecture and operations. Before tech: industrial design, automotive modeling, and running a nightclub.*

Philosophischer Stammtisch - Für Nicht-Philosophen ohne Stammtisch-Niveau
* *For English, please see below*
Der Philosophische Stammtisch ist für alle, die gerne über das Leben philosophieren wollen ohne dabei zu verbissen den Fragen auf den Grund zu gehen. Wir wollen gemeinsam zu neuen Einsichten kommen und einen Raum schaffen für Menschen, die sich auf tieferer Ebene austauschen wollen. Die Fragen können von tiefen metaphysischen Fragen bis zu praktischen Lebensfragen reichen. Diese Veranstaltung soll gerade auch die ansprechen, die sich über solche Fragen Gedanken machen und sich austauschen wollen. Das hier ist kein politischer Diskurs.
**Das Thema für diesen Abend**
Wird bald bekannt gegeben.
**For our English speaking members**
We will have one table where the discussion is in English and you are welcome to join :)
**Topic**
Will be soon announced.
Clubabend der Steglitz Toastmasters - Rhetorikclub
Hast du Angst, vor Publikum zu sprechen?
Verlangt dein Beruf Präsentationen, Pitches oder Vorträge?
Wirst du nervös, sobald alle Augen auf dich gerichtet sind?
Verlierst du manchmal den roten Faden oder merkst, wie deine Zuhörer gedanklich auf Wanderschaft gehen?
Dann bist du bei uns genau richtig.
Bei Toastmasters trainierst du deine Redekunst in einem sicheren, wertschätzenden Umfeld. Schritt für Schritt. Rede für Rede. Mit klarem Feedback und echter Unterstützung. Hier wächst nicht nur deine Technik, sondern auch deine Präsenz.
## So läuft ein typischer Abend ab 🎤
Der Abend wird von **Alexandra, unserer Präsidentin**, eröffnet. Sie führt durch das Programm und sorgt dafür, dass sich Gäste wie Mitglieder gleichermaßen willkommen fühlen.
### 🗣 Vorbereitete Reden (meist 4 Reden à 5–7 Minuten)
In der Regel erwarten dich vier vorbereitete Reden. Persönlich, inspirierend, humorvoll oder nachdenklich. Jede Rede dauert zwischen 5 und 7 Minuten und ist Teil eines individuellen Lernwegs.
### ☕ Pause
Zeit zum Austausch, Durchatmen und Kennenlernen.
### ⚡ Stegreifreden (1–2 Minuten)
Hier wird es spontan. Ein Impuls, eine Frage, ein Gedanke.
Auch **mutige Gäste** dürfen sich ausprobieren und ganz ungezwungen Bühnenluft schnuppern.
### 📝 Feedbackteil
Nun kommt der vielleicht wichtigste Teil des Abends.
* **Bewertungsreden** zu den vorbereiteten Reden (je 2–3 Minuten)
* Feedback weiterer Rollen wie Zeitnehmer oder Sprachstilbewerter
* Ein **Gesamtbewerter**, der den Abend als Ganzes reflektiert
Das Feedback ist konstruktiv, konkret und immer wertschätzend. Es zeigt Stärken auf und gibt klare Impulse zur Weiterentwicklung.
### 👋 Verabschiedung
Zum Abschluss rundet Alexandra den Abend ab und gibt einen Ausblick auf kommende Treffen.
### 🍽 Danach: Restaurant & Socializing
Wer mag, kommt mit ins Restaurant. Dort wird weitergeredet, gelacht, diskutiert und vernetzt.
Wenn du lernen willst, klarer zu sprechen, souveräner aufzutreten und deine Botschaften wirkungsvoll zu platzieren, dann komm einfach zum nächsten Clubtreffen.
Die Bühne wartet nicht auf Perfektion. Sie belohnt Mut. ✨

What If Your AI Could Be a Team? - Chad Green
**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**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.

Prompt vs. Paintbrush
AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s?
This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation?
We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee.
Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
