Tech talks at Mozilla
Save the date! The Mozilla Meetup series continues with talks focused on modern web technologies.
To account for typical **no-show rates**, we’ve opened more RSVP spots than we can physically accommodate. Based on our last event, only about 36 of 100 registered participants (including Mozillians) attended in person. **We will admit attendees on a first-come, first-served basis and will need to close the doors once we reach room capacity (around 50 people).**
Note that this event operates under the [Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines](https://www.mozilla.org/about/governance/policies/participation/).
**18:00** \- Doors open
**18:30** \- Tracking \(Protection\) Everywhere
There are a variety of tracking vectors on the web. But how exactly does this tracking work and what mechanism do we have available to protect our privacy?
This talk takes a closer look at the many anti-tracking mechanisms Firefox uses to protect its users, and discusses the threat models behind them and the practical protection they provide.
Bio: Manuel Bucher is a software engineer on the Firefox Privacy team working on anti-tracking in Firefox
**19:30:** No Servers, No APIs: AI in the Browser
I’ll present how modern web technologies make it possible to run AI models directly in the browser combining WebLLM and WebAssembly to deliver powerful, privacy-preserving client-side AI experiences. For more context, here’s a related article I wrote for Mozilla AI: [https://blog.mozilla.ai/3w-for-in-browser-ai-webllm-wasm-webworkers/](https://blog.mozilla.ai/3w-for-in-browser-ai-webllm-wasm-webworkers/)
**Bio:** Barış Güler is an engineering leader working on in-browser AI systems that leverage WebLLM, WASM, and web platform features to bring AI inference and tooling into client environments. He writes about web-native AI and open-source approaches to privacy-first machine intelligence (and a Rust fan, for sure).
Flowgame Session zu der Frage "Wie wollen wir der Angst begegnen?"
**Einladung zur Flowgame-Session**
In einer Zeit, die für viele von uns unsicher und herausfordernd ist, tragen wir alle auf die eine oder andere Weise Ängste in uns. In dieser Flowgame-Session möchte ich einen Raum öffnen, in dem wir uns diesen Ängsten gemeinsam zuwenden können – im Gespräch, im Austausch und getragen vom Flowgame als Struktur und Halt. Mehr zum FlowGame hier: www.flowgame.net
Es geht darum, miteinander ins Gespräch zu kommen: über das, was uns bewegt, was uns Sorgen macht und was uns vielleicht auch Mut gibt. Indem wir unsere Erfahrungen teilen, können wir uns gegenseitig unterstützen und möglicherweise neue Perspektiven und Zuversicht für die Zukunft finden.
Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei vor allem der ehrliche Austausch über Ängste – weil sie zu uns gehören und gehört werden wollen.
Ich freue mich auf eine achtsame, offene Runde mit euch.
Boundaries and Negotiation at Work - WiAB
**✨ Women in Agile Berlin Event \| 19 February 2026 \| 18:15 ✨**
**Boundaries, Negotiation, and the Hidden Cost of Saying Yes**
In many workplaces, women are praised for being helpful, flexible, and always available. Much less so for protecting their time, energy, and focus. Over time, this leads to overcommitment, blurred boundaries, and quiet exhaustion.
At our next Women in Agile Berlin event, we are excited to welcome Krista, a certified coach based in Berlin, who supports creatives and Highly Sensitive People in building values aligned lives.
In this talk, Krista explores the powerful connection between boundaries and negotiation, and why they are two sides of the same coin. When you are clear on what matters to you and what you are protecting, you can lead, collaborate, and negotiate with calm confidence.
Together, we will explore:
* What boundaries really are (and what they are not)
* The hidden “Yes Cost” of overcommitment and why it drains energy and focus
* Why self boundaries are the first and most important negotiation
* Practical, empathy based negotiation tools that help you communicate your needs without guilt or backlash
You will leave with greater clarity, simple frameworks you can apply immediately, and a toolkit for negotiating in a way that feels grounded, respectful, and aligned with who you are.
This event is for anyone who wants to protect their energy, strengthen their impact, and stop negotiating against themselves.

**🙋🏼♂️ More about todays organizer:**
Connecting to people is fun and feels much better than unwanted loneliness. That's why co-working is getting so popular these days.
.
Did you also know, that you **live longer, healthier, happier & more successful** with friends & good acquaintances (Harvard study and many other studies).
.
Therefore I have founded Abenteuer Freundschaft. I write a book on how to make real friends.
.
Until the book is published, you can find the results of my friendship research on my blog: [www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de](http://www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de) // *Written in German, Google translate makes a hilarious job.*
.
Meet people at Co-Working is a very good step to connect - because **friends share same interest & live style**. Hell yes! 😁
.
.
**📝 Most read articels on friendship research (in German):**

Productive Sunday Morning - Co-Working Session (Deep Work, all work welcome)
Hey everyone!
I’m organising a co-working + socialising session for all of us who like to work on something (e.g. our own project, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. 🙂
To ensure that we have both **socialising** AND **working**, we will be using the so called “Pomodoro” technique:
**50min of deep work** (silent), followed by **10min of break** to socialise. Then repeat! If you get into flow, you're also welcome to skip the breaks.
It’s an effective way to stay focused - you can read more about it [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique).
Anyone from any background is welcome, whatever project you are working on or whatever is your personal background.
I (the host) speak English and German, so either is fine :-)
——————————————————-
AGENDA:
* **15min Intro**
* Get to know everyone, talk about what you will work on today
* **Pomodoro Session** (3x) - *Each Pomodoro session consists* *of...*
* ...**50min** of uninterrupted “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, no phones)
* ...**10min** of break: share your progress with others, talk about what you are stuck on etc.
* Repeat
* Conclude and celebrate your progress
Share your progress, socialise and get to know others 😊
————
We'll be at the Social Hub Berlin (they have a food menu in case you get hungry). The structured part will end at 2:30pm, but you're welcome to stay longer, go for lunch together, or leave earlier. See you there 🩵
**\*\*We'll reserve the long table. Please update your RSVP in advance if you can't attend!\*\***
Lean Coffee for Managers & Leaders
Join us for an upcoming in-person Lean Coffee meetup. Lean Coffee is a lightly-structured meeting format where the attendees create the agenda.
Bring your management challenges; whether you're managing people, products, processes or beyond, and solve them together with peers from a diverse set of backgrounds.
This event is great for anybody trying to create better ways of working and wants to share with + learn from others trying to do the same.
Creative Code Jam [NEW LOCATION @ MotionLab.Berlin]
**⭐ NOTE THE NEW LOCATION! ⭐**
The Creative Code Jam is a monthly gathering of artists, makers, designers, illustrators, coders, musicians, performers, learners and anyone interested in the use of computing skills for artistic expression. The event is free and open to all, regardless of age, origin, gender or experience. The jam is an opportunity to meet likeminded people and get creative together in a relaxed and safe environment. Beginners and first-timers should feel especially welcome!
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
**Bring a laptop** and/or anything you’d like to work on, whether it’s a personal project, an experiment, or a skill you want to learn. You can come with friends or meet new people here. There’s no set agenda: some people code, some sketch ideas, some collaborate, and others just chat and get inspired.
SCHEDULE
Doors open at noon, then we’ll have quick introductions so everyone can share what they’re planning to work on. Note: arriving on time is the best way to hear what others are up to ;) Around 6 pm, we gather to share what we’ve worked on during the day.
BEGINNERS WELCOME!
If you’re new to creative coding, we'll be happy to help you get started, and you can find beginner-friendly resources at [creativecode.berlin/learn](http://creativecode.berlin/learn).

FLOW meditation - a fun and expansive auditory experience
😌 **a FLOW Meditation is an active, fun & expansive shared auditory experience.**
💥 This month we have 2 dates
**Sat 21 Feb schedule**
19:00 – Doors open, meet and greet, snacks & drinks
20:00 – Session Start, explanation, warm up & first round – planting seeds
21:00 – Short Break & Then second round – deepening the roots
21:30 – Closing, feedback, chill out
23:00 – End
**+ Sat 28 Feb @21:45 for 1 hour, after community night buffet**
🔥 Flow is a state of being… an experience when you allow yourself to be 100% fully engaged in the present moment in a feedback loop between clarity and satisfaction. It is an undeniable sensation where things seem to be more effortless, pleasurable, in sync, and you can easily sense a connection with something greater than yourself; this is what we will create…:
• a connected and mindful meditation where it is possible to blissfully surf the cutting edge of the present moment together…
• a game where it’s possible to feel excited and calm in the same moment, and everyone can win as much as they like…
Scott Bolden, founder of Das Baumhaus Berlin will share some very easy, practical and effective methods developed over the last 13 years of facilitating these sessions. Within 20 minutes participants learn to use the common sound space to create resonance in the form of improvisational music where it is quite common to experience some real flow moments… All of the session is done with eyes closed to avoid visual distractions and keep focus on the co-created sound space.
• no experience with meditation or music is needed to participate and enjoy
€10 -30€ after the session ---> Pay for the value of your experience

Secrets No More: Spring K8s Mastery + Kotlin Glow
Join us for the next Spring User Group Berlin meetup! This time, we are bridging the gap between rock-solid operations and developer joy.
**Talk 1: Secure and Seamless: Injecting Kubernetes Secrets into Spring Applications**
*Speaker: Dmitriy Goi, Deutsche Bank*
Look, we’ve all done it. You need a database password, so you throw it into an environment variable and call it a day. It works, it’s fast, and your app starts up. But then the security audit hits, or your credentials rotate and suddenly your logs are full of connection errors because your Spring context is stuck in the past.
At Deutsche Bank, "good enough" usually isn't. I’ve spent the last few years moving Spring apps into Kubernetes and realizing that most tutorials lie to you. They show you the easy way, not the way that survives in production.
I’m going to show you why environment variables are a security trap and how mounting secrets as files actually works (and where it breaks). We’ll get into the mess of secret rotation, why you probably need a CSI driver or an External Secret operator, and how to make Spring Boot actually pick up those changes without a manual restart.
**About the speaker:**
A passionate software engineer at Deutsche Bank, Dmitriy brings 8 years of development experience to his focus on modernizing application development. He specializes in Spring Boot and Kubernetes and is currently helping lead the charge on migrating key applications to a hybrid cloud environment, emphasizing secure and efficient engineering practices.

**Talk 2: Adopting Kotlin for Spring 7: Cleaner Code, Fewer Bugs, Some Tradeoffs**
*Speaker: Daniil Tsarev, JetBrains*
Kotlin is becoming a first-class citizen in the Spring ecosystem, especially with the latest features in Spring 7. In this talk, we'll explore how easy it is to adopt Kotlin in existing Spring projects, what tangible benefits it brings to everyday development, and where some edges still are. Expect practical examples, real-world tradeoffs, and an honest look at whether Kotlin is the right choice for your Spring stack.
**About the speaker:**
Daniil Tsarev is a Software Developer at JetBrains with over 10 years of experience working with the Spring ecosystem.
Previously was developing a Spring-based full-stack framework for enterprise solutions.
Now passionate about developer productivity, he’s dedicated to creating tools and solutions that make developers’ lives easier.
**📅 Agenda**
[**18:30**]: Doors open, food, drinks & networking
[**19:00**]: Talk 1: Secure and Seamless (K8s Secrets)
[**19:45**]: Short break
[**20:00**]: Talk 2: Adopting Kotlin for Spring 7
[**21:00**]: Q&A and more networking
[**22:00**]: Closing the doors
Come for the knowledge, stay for the community. See you there!

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations.
If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!).
**HOW IT WORKS**
**Step 1: Bring a topic**
Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event.
**Step 2: Circle up & share**
We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds.
**Step 3: Walk, talk & float**
We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!"
**Step 4: Feel more alive**
Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times.
*For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)*
**HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC**
A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about.
Recent topics include:
* "What are you passionate about right now?"
* "What makes a good friend?"
* "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?"
* "How do you want to be remembered?"
* "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?"
Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter.
**WHAT TO EXPECT**
This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.*
But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here.
**FAQ**
* Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk!
* We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space.
* We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space.
* Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know.
* Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic!
**LOGISTICS**
* If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event.
* This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs.
* Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details.
* If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋
**IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...**
[The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up.
* This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).
