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

Juega y socializa en español
¿Te apetece pasar una tarde agradable jugando a juegos de mesa y conociendo gente nueva en un ambiente relajado y cercano? Este encuentro está pensado precisamente para eso: socializar, conectar y pasarlo bien, sin importar si ya conoces los juegos o si es tu primera vez en el grupo.
¿Qué tipo de juegos jugamos?
Elegimos juegos accesibles, dinámicos y sociales, no solo juegos largos o complicados. Por ejemplo:
Juegos rápidos y ligeros como 6 nimmt!, Love Letter o Sushi Go
Juegos de interacción y risas como Codenames, Dixit o Exploding Kittens
Juegos de deducción social como The Resistance, Salem o Werewolves
Y, si apetece, algún juego un poco más estratégico, siempre explicado con calma
No importa si es tu primera vez en el grupo: explicamos las reglas y elegimos juegos accesibles para que todo el mundo se sienta cómodo desde el principio. El juego es solo la excusa para socializar y conectar de forma natural.
Un espacio seguro y diverso
Solemos ser un grupo diverso, abierto y con muy buen rollo, donde se respeta a todo el mundo. Queremos crear un entorno amable, sin juicios, en el que cualquiera pueda sentirse a gusto.
️ En español (o para practicarlo)
Si hablas español o te apetece practicarlo en un entorno amable y natural, estarás más que bienvenida/o. El grupo suele estar formado por personas de distintos orígenes y niveles, y la comunicación fluye de manera relajada.
Si te apetece conocer gente de forma tranquila, sin presión y con los juegos como punto de encuentro, este plan es para ti.

**📖 What to Expect**
* We’re passionate about board games and excited to share them with you!
* No experience needed - we'll decide spontaneously which games we'll play depending on the games you bring and then guide you through the rules of games.
We are **happy to help you choose a game** that suits you best. Some games are cooperative, while others are competitive—so there’s something for everyone!
If you'd like, bring your own board or card game! Just be prepared to explain the rules to new players.
We'll also have an extra silent room for noise sensitive people since some games can be very loud. 🔊
Arriving late? No problem! You may be able to join a game right away or there might be a short wait.

❤ **Be kind and respectful**—we’re creating a safe and welcoming space together.
🧩 **Bring anything that helps you feel comfortable** (noise-canceling headphones, fidget toys, etc.).

Let’s Play Azul & CATAN - Play and socialize
Join our **CATAN** Meetup to play, socialize, and enjoy this classic board game.
Everyone is welcome, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player. Expect fun, friendly games, plenty of laughter, and the chance to make new friends.
This is a relaxed, casual meetup: **no hardcore competition**, just friendly rivalry.
👉 **Please RSVP only if you plan to attend.**
***
**How to Play (Quick Guide):**
* **Setup:** Build the island with hex tiles, place number tokens, roads, settlements, and give each player starting resources.
* **Turn order:** On your turn, roll two dice to produce resources, then trade and build.
* **Resource production:** Players gain resources (wood, brick, sheep, wheat, ore) from tiles next to their settlements/cities when the tile’s number is rolled.
* **Robber:** If a 7 is rolled, players with too many cards discard half; move the robber to block a tile and steal a card.
*NOTE: Friendly robber rule: We play with the friendly robber rule, which means that the robber cannot be placed on a player with less than 3 points.*
* **Trading:** Trade resources with other players or with the bank (usually 4:1, better with ports).
* **Building:** Spend resources to build roads, settlements, cities, or buy development cards.
* **Victory points:** Earn points from settlements, cities, development cards, Longest Road, and Largest Army.
* **Winning:** The first player to reach 10 victory points on their turn wins.
* 2-Hours-Max: If no one reaches 10 points by the end of the second hour, the player with the most points wins. This keeps our game capped at **two hours**. ⏰️
***
**Our Game Set-Up & Attendance Policy:**
1. We will have two CATAN sets available for up to six players each, assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
2. Since each game takes a considerable amount of time, arriving after a game has already started may make it difficult to place you at a table.
3. In such cases, you may need to place your first two settlements on the remaining available parts of the map—if space allows.
4. Please make sure to update your RSVP in advance. Failure to do so may cause unnecessary delays for everyone at the start.
5. Not showing up without notice will result in being blacklisted for at least one future meetup.

**A Few Notes:**
✅ This is an **in-person event**
✅ **RSVP does not guarantee a seat** – A confirmation email will be sent one day before the event.
**TALK ABSTRACT:**
AI is all the hype these days; however, despite (or maybe because of) the excitement around it, a high percentage of AI projects fail. Projects that are over budget, delayed, or that fail to scale past the POC phase are very common. In many of these scenarios, choosing the right approach can be as critical as the solution itself. Should you build a tailored machine learning model, leverage the power of large language models (LLMs), or integrate with AI copilots? Each option has unique strengths, trade-offs, and resource requirements, and the key to success lies in aligning your choice with your business goals and technical constraints.
In this talk, we will go beyond the basic concepts and definitions to provide a practical guide that allows attendees to navigate these decisions through real-world case studies. We will examine scenarios in which different AI paradigms were chosen, discuss the factors that influenced those decisions, and outline the process for evaluating needs, constraints, and outcomes. From assessing data availability and team expertise to balancing cost and scalability, you'll gain insights into the critical considerations that guide the selection process.
By the end of this session, you’ll have a clear process for determining whether machine learning, LLMs, or copilots are best suited to your AI challenges and understand the resources and strategies needed to bring your chosen solution to life. This talk is ideal for decision-makers, technical leads, and innovators seeking to demystify AI implementation and maximize the impact of their investments.
