Rust Berlin Talks: The next generation
**Rust Berlin Talks** is back for another evening of talks, shared ideas, and networking.
Join us to learn, share, ask, and connect. If you work with Rust professionally, use it in side projects, contribute to open source, or are simply curious to learn more, you are very welcome.
**Agenda**
* Doors open: 18:30
* Start: 19:00
* Talks:
* **RICO8: A new fun way to learn & master Rust**
New to Rust and looking for a fun way to learn? Or are you already familiar with all the essentials and lacking the motivation to master the rest?
Or perhaps you're already pretty fluent in Rust but never got a chance to code for constrained environments while were always curious about that? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you're in luck!
In this talk, I'll introduce a new project, that makes Rust
programming a lot of fun, especially if you're fascinated by pixel art
and/or retrogaming.
* **Reimagining the terminal with Rust**
The terminal has evolved far beyond plain text interfaces. In this talk, we'll explore how Rust is pushing the boundaries of what's possible in terminal applications.
* Open mic / lightning talks
* Networking
**Speakers**
1. [Zeeshan Ali Khan](https://github.com/zeenix): Free Software dev, Ecomodernist, into Rust, flying, and EVs. Maintainer of zbus.
2. [Orhun Parmaksız](https://github.com/orhun): Open source maintainer. Creator of Ratatui.
**Open mic & future talks**
We’ll reserve a few short slots for anyone who wants to share something with the group. This can be a quick idea, a project, or an experience. Slides are optional.
If you’re interested in giving a longer talk at a future meetup, this is also a good opportunity to connect with the organizers.
**Venue & access**
Please arrive on time. We will have someone at the entrance to let people in between 18:30 and 19:15. After that, access becomes more difficult as the doors are locked and require manual opening.
**Registration**
The venue has limited capacity and events typically fill up with a waiting list. If you register and can no longer attend, even at short notice, please un-RSVP so someone else can take your spot.
Looking forward to seeing you all!

💼🧠 Neurodivergent Co-working & Networking 💬🌈
This **coworking and networking** meetup is for neurodivergent people to get our tasks/projects/work done and to connect with other neurodivergent, whether for focus work or just finding someone who understands what you’re working on.
**PLEASE READ THE EVENT DESCRIPTION BELOW:**

* **Final Destination:** On the 1st floor, look for the Werkräume sign.
**What to expect:**
* We usually use **[Pomodoro method](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique).** **When you are late** and the session has started, just take a seat and start working until break time.

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**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**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. 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.
