Andere drücken die Schulbank, wir aber wollen in gemütlicher (und realer) Atmosphäre wieder aufeinandertreffen und einen Deutsch-Spanisch-Tandemkurs aufleben lassen. Beim einfachen Zusammenkommen und kennenlernen lässt es sich schließlich viel effektiver lernen. und Spaß haben. ...

Berlin is slowly slipping into summer again — longer evenings, warmer air and the feeling that staying home might mean missing something. Join us for a Monday night full of conversations, new faces and a little bit of early summer energy before the city gets too busy to notice itself. ✨ Tiny optional challenge: Bring one small thing that feels like summer in Berlin to you. A photo, an object, a snack, sunglasses, a book, a strange souvenir — anything with a story behind it. Orga The location accepts only card payments. We will be sitting in the first room. Questions?

Tolle Berlinerinnen und Berliner, als ich schreibe, sitze ich im Wald zwischen Buchen und Eichen auf meinem Campingstuhl und genieße die Ruhe des Sonnenlichts. Suchst du nach Freiheit von dem Lärm der Szene, Lärm der Stadt? Möchtest du Brücken mit interkulturellen, diversen Leuten aufbauen? Dieses Jahr möchte ich unbedingt neue Leute, die Tiefe und Empathie haben kennenlernen. Diesen Leuten meine Zeit geben, und gegenseitige Freundschaften hoffentlich aufbauen. Selbst glaube ich, dass Mädels und Jungs einander nicht verstehen können, wenn der Sinn von einer Person 100% einer Geschlecht ist und die Person keines der Geschlecht gegenüber kennt. Idealerweise sollte der Sinn 50/50 weiblich/männlich sein, dass wir uns gegenseitig ideal verstehen können. Selbst bin ich Künstler, der sich für Farbphysik (Colour Phenomena) interessiert. Zum Beispiel ein roses Kirschbaum in der blauen morgen Stunde. Oder blaue Bäume im Licht eines bedeckten Sommer Tag, auch wenn jeder glaubt, dass man sachlich weiß, ‚Bäumen sind grün!‘ Colour sind, glaube ich, hauptsächlich weibliche Phänomene. Und als Künstler empfand ich seit langem eine Affinität für Colour. Das Bild oben ist ein Kunstwerk von mir. Ich möchte die ruhigen Leuten erreichen, also der Treff ist entweder Online, per Signal Messenger (Link zur Gruppe im Kommentar; nur für Teilnehmer der Veranstaltung sichtbar) um neue Verbindungen leicht zu machen, oder auch sogar besser persönlich, wenn du dich spontan unterwegs sein will und persönlich treffen will. Wenn du mich persönlich triffst setzen wir uns auf eine Wiese, eventuell in der Wuhlheide, oder auf dem Tempelhofer Feld. Schick mir eine Nachricht vorher per Signal Gruppe und wir können uns vereinbaren. Dieses merken: Bitte rauchen Sie bei dieser Veranstaltung nicht. Ich freue mich neue Leute kennenzulernen! Mit geschmackvollen Grüßen, Duncan

Bischen spaß haben während wir sapzieren Fußball oder Basketball spielen

📢 WICHTIG 📢 Diesmal organisieren wir das Treffen draußen, im Tilla-Durieux-Park gegenüber The Playce in Potsdamer Platz. Wir sitzen auf dem Gras, wo der Boden flach ist. Wenn möglich bring bitte Picknickdecken mit.

In the previous meetup, we discussed a difficult question: **Will AI replace Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches?** This session builds on that conversation. Instead of focusing on what might disappear, we’ll focus on: **What will become more valuable.** 🧠 **What you’ll learn** We’ll explore the shift from: * Why facilitation and process knowledge are no longer enough * The shift from team-level focus to system-level thinking * How organizational design becomes a key capability * What skills will make you stand out in the coming years Grounded in Org Topologies™, we’ll look at: * Why many roles operate in **output-driven, incomplete setups** * The shift toward **outcome-oriented, complete mandates** * Why organizational design becomes a **core capability** * How AI amplifies this shift rather than causing it 🔑 **Core idea** The future is not about becoming a better Scrum Master. It’s about becoming someone who can: * see the organization as a system * identify structural constraints * redesign how work, learning, and decision-making happen 🎤 **Format** * \~30 min talk * \~30 min Q&A and discussion * \~30+ min Networking 👥 **Who this is for** * Scrum Masters & Agile Coaches seeking their next evolution * People struggling to create impact in their current setup * Leaders interested in system-level change * Anyone thinking about their next career step 💡 **Why join** Many people feel that “something is changing.” This session helps you **name the shift** — and position yourself within it. Btw: This meetup prepares the ground for a special session with the author of *10xOrg* in June.

While we are approaching the middle of the year and KotlinConf is just over - we are thrilled that Trade Republic hosts us again! So mark the date! **Line-Up:** 👉 **Lists, Sequences, and Flows: Scaling Data Processing in Kotlin without Melting Your Memory.** *by Daniela Valero* In this talk, Daniela shares her journey of meeting a major backend deadline while managing a data pipeline's memory footprint. You’ll learn how to transition from eager List operations to lazy Kotlin Sequences and jOOQ Streams (using database fetchSize chunking) to keep memory usage flat. Finally, we’ll explore using Kotlin Coroutines and Flow to introduce safe concurrency so your data processes quickly without straining your database. 👉 **The show must go on** *by Blagoja "Baki" Stamatovski* **👉 TBD** **Speaker Bios:** 🗣 **TDB**

Join us for an evening on the practical side of AI agents. We'll dig into context engineering and why relevance matters more than prompt tricks, then look at what it takes to run autonomous agents safely alongside humans. Food and drinks provided — stick around after for networking. ✍️ RSVP asap as capacity is limited so grab your spot asap! 📅 **Date and Time** Wednesday, May 27, 2026 from 18:00-20:45 📍 **Location** [EBCONT office, beyond Quartier Heidestrasse, 34, 10557 Berlin](https://maps.app.goo.gl/aQGPgteqhQ2yrmx96) 📝 **Agenda** 18:00 – Doors open, arrivals and check-in 18:20 – Welcome note by EBCONT 18:30 – **Agent Builder Hope is not a strategy — relevant context for data driven agents** by Anderson Queiroz — Elastic *What are agents and context engineering? And why we think the "center of gravity" for context engineering is much more about relevance and your data than only prompts and memory management.* 19:00 – Q&A & quick break 19:15 – **Adapting to AI in Security** by Jenny Pinheiro — Tines *Best practices for autonomous AI and human interaction in the context of workflows.* 19:45 – Pizza, drinks & networking \*\*\* Invite your friends and join us for an evening of learning and networking with fellow engineers and speakers!

**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** Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** TBD
