... english version below Liebe Datamonster und Freunde des gepflegten Datenstroms. Alles neu macht 2026... Und wir starten mit einem Knall ins neue Jahr: wir sind ab sofort in einer **neuen Location!** Unsere Freunde von b.telligent haben uns freundlicherweise die **Berlin Bytes** vermittelt, die uns ab sofort in ihrem Büro in der Backfabrik am Prenzlauer Berg willkommen heißen werden. Und zum ersten Termin in der neuen Location gehört natürlich auch ein herausragender Sprecher und den haben wir mit Janek Fellien gefunden. Sein Thema ist das Projekt Drasi Projekt Drasi ist ein noch ganz frisches Open Source Projekt von Microsoft, das den Gedanken des Complex Event Processings neu aufgreift. Dabei geht es im Kern darum, Datenveränderungen in Softwaresystemen zu erkennen und darauf entsprechend reagieren zu können. In neu zu entwickelnden Systemen würde man dies mit Event Sourcing oder technischen Lösungen "from Scratch" realisieren, aber was ist mit Bestandssystemen? Wie schafft man es dort, die auftretenden Veränderungen zu erfassen und vor allem, warum möchte man darauf reagieren? Ich möchte in diesem Talk zeigen, wie man mit Hilfe von Drasi, ein Monolith Legacy System in ein Micro Service System einbetten oder umwandeln kann. Online teilnehmen könnt ihr unter folgendem [Link](https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/34859473575613?p=dZmKkYBDnMGEltFDhK), wir empfehlen euch aber natürlich wärmstens, mit uns die neue Location für die Berliner Datamonster einzuweihen. Es freuen sich Markus & Ben \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- english version \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Dear data monsters and friends of well-crafted data streams, Everything is new in 2026… and we’re starting the new year with a bang: from now on, we have a **new location**! Our friends at b.telligent have kindly connected us with **Berlin Bytes**, who will be welcoming us from now on at their office in the Backfabrik in Prenzlauer Berg. And of course, the first event at the new location calls for an outstanding speaker—and we’ve found one in Janek Fellien. His topic is the Drasi project. Project Drasi is a very new open-source project from Microsoft that revisits the idea of Complex Event Processing. At its core, it is about detecting data changes in software systems and being able to react to them accordingly. In newly developed systems, this would typically be implemented using event sourcing or technical solutions built “from scratch.” But what about existing systems? How can changes be captured there—and, more importantly, why would you want to react to them? In this talk, I want to demonstrate how Drasi can be used to embed or transform a monolithic legacy system into a microservices system. You can join online via the following [link](https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/34859473575613?p=dZmKkYBDnMGEltFDhK), but of course we warmly recommend that you celebrate the inauguration of the new location for the Berlin Data Monsters with us in person. Looking forward to it, Markus & Ben

** Wertschätzungsbeitrag: 10-20 Euro (nach eigenen Möglichkeiten)** **Du möchtest Deine Freundschaften, Partnerschaft & Arbeitsbeziehungen verbessern? Dieser Worskhop kann ein großer Schritt dazu sein.** In diesem Einführungs-Workshop machen wir praktische Übungen aus der Gewaltfreien Kommunikation (GFK). Gewaltfreie Kommunikation ist eine der effektivsten Methoden zum Lösen von Konflikten, Aufbau von Vertrauen und wertschätzender Kommunikation auf Augenhöhe - in allen unseren Beziehungen. . . ** Um folgende Themen geht es an diesem Abend:** * Wie du offen und ehrlich sagen kannst, was in dir vorgeht – und trotzdem in Kontakt mit anderen bleibst * Wie du klar und konkret für deine Bedürfnisse einstehen kannst * Wie Konflikte zu mehr Verbindung führen können * Wie Empathie uns hilft, mit Wut, Schmerz, Angst und Verletzung umzugehen * und mehr ... . . **‍♂️ Zum Trainer: Lorenz Kaplick** Ich (Lorenz) bin Psychologe und zertifizierter Mediator. Seit 7 Jahren beschäftige ich mich intensiv mit den Themen Dialog, Beziehungen & Konfliktklärung. Ich habe mit Trainer:innen aus Europa und der Welt gelernt und zusammengearbeitet. Die GFK hat mein Leben grundlegend verändert. Sie hat mir eine Hoffnung für die Menschheit gegeben, die ich vorher nicht hatte. Deshalb freue ich mich, diese Art der Welt zu begegnen mit anderen zu teilen. Das mache ich durch meine Arbeit als Organisationsentwickler, Mediator – und durch Workshops wie diesen. Meine Website: [lorenz-kaplick.com](www.lorenz-kaplick.com) . . **⏰ Die Türen sind offen ab 18:15 Uhr. Komm am besten schon 18.15 Uhr:** Mantel aufhängen, Toilette, eine Runde schwatzen und los ... . . **❓ Darf ein zweites Mal kommen?** Ja, sehr gern. Ich halte es sogar für sinnvoll, mehrfach zu kommen, wenn Dir der Workshop gefällt: Das Thema vertiefen, die eigenen Beobachtungen aus den letzten Wochen verarbeiten und sich mit neuen & alten Bekannten über das Thema weiter austauschen. . . ** Der Veranstaltungsraum** * Wir haben einen wunderschönen Raum im Kieztreff in Berlin Mitte (mit sauberen Toiletten!). * nähe Hackescher Markt.

**Touch and Move: Improvising Contact, creating Community** with ***Jochen Kleres and/or Zahiro Ji*** for **GBTQ men\*** **[BOOK A TICKET!](https://wearevillage.org/en/calendar/)** **Member: 10 €** **Non Member: 15 €** This is a class for GBTQ men\* with all levels of experience, from total newbies to advanced. We meet and begin by checking in with each other, followed by a guided exploration moving from somatic practice to contact dance improvisation. This all culminates in opening the space for the free flow of dancing and explorations in duos, trios and as a group. Bodywork will help us to warm down at the end and integrate what we experienced. Dance is our way to create a space for exploration: what happens when queer men’s bodies meet and get in touch without any expectations and intentions? In Contact Improvisation, touch is the source of finding dance movements. It helps you to be open to the here and now, to surprises, to letting go of performing roles, meeting expectations, and following scripts. Any movement can be part of this dance, no matter how simple – we literally move any way we feel. This creates a conversation without words, simply through our moving bodies. Feeling ourselves by sensing others can create nourishing bonds of community as much as it liberates us. We emphasise consensus, respect, diversity of people and energies, listening, and a non-judgmental space. **General Information** • Wear comfortable clothes. • We’ll speak English and/or German, depending on the needs of the group. • This event is one of two free events included each month in the membership programme. Dies ist ein Kurs für GBTQ Männer\* mit allen Erfahrungsstufen, von absoluten Neulingen bis zu Fortgeschrittenen. Wir treffen uns und beginnen mit einem gegenseitigen Kennenlernen, gefolgt von einer angeleiteten Erkundung, die von somatischer Praxis zu Kontakttanzimprovisationen führt. Von hier aus öffnen wir den Raum für den freien Fluss des Tanzes und der Erkundungen in Duos, Trios und als Gruppe. Mit Hilfe von Bodywork wärmen wir uns zum Schluss auf und integrieren das Erlebte. Tanz ist unsere Art, einen Raum für Erkundungen zu schaffen: Was passiert, wenn sich die Körper queerer Männer treffen und ohne Erwartungen und Absichten in Berührung kommen? In der Contact Improvisation ist die Berührung der Ursprung, um Tanzbewegungen zu entdecken. Sie hilft dir, offen zu sein für das Hier und Jetzt, für Überraschungen, für das Loslassen von Rollen, Erwartungen und Vorschriften. Jede Bewegung kann Teil dieses Tanzes sein, egal wie einfach – wir bewegen uns so, wie wir uns tatsächlich fühlen. So entsteht eine Konversation ohne Worte, einfach durch unsere bewegten Körper. Uns selbst zu spüren, indem wir andere spüren, kann ein ebenso wertvolles Gemeinschaftsgefühl, wie ein Gefühl von Befreiung schaffen. Wir legen Wert auf Konsens, Respekt, die Vielfalt der Menschen und Energien, das Zuhören und einen urteilsfreien Raum. **Hinweise** • Trage bequeme Kleidungen • Je nach Bedürfnissen der Gruppe werden wir Deutsch und/oder Englisch sprechen. • Diese Veranstaltung zählt zu den zwei kostenfreien Veranstaltungen pro Monat für Mitglieder.

**RSVP via Meetup is mandatory to attend the event, due to limited capacity.** Talk & Play is a free event that provides the opportunity to game enthusiasts, players and makers to meet in a friendly, relaxed and safe environment.

Artistic Computer Game Photographs as Media of Care** Many artistic computer game photographs address the presence and absence of care. I would like to show in this talk that they themselves become describable as media of care. The notion of care offers a possibility to view the multitude of artistic in-game photographic works through the lens of one theme and thereby bring them into a coherent context. *Sebastian Möring is a professor of game design at Macromedia University and a media and culture scholar with a PhD in game studies focusing on game aesthetics and philosophy, in-game photography, and green game studies.* [sebastianmoering.com](https://sebastianmoering.com/) // [Macromedia University](https://www.macromedia-fachhochschule.de/de/menschen/sebastian-moering/) After the talk(s) there will be a section dedicated to short announcements from the community, get in touch to reserve a spot: info@berlingamescene.com — same goes if your company is hiring or wants to announce something and you'd like to get a sponsored slot! • • • • • **THE PLAY PART (SHOWCASE)** These are the projects that will be shown during the evening: * **[A permanent echo](https://store.steampowered.com/app/3727200/a_permanent_echo/)**[ ](https://store.steampowered.com/app/3727200/a_permanent_echo/)by Three More Years * **[AFLOME](https://team-blimmm.itch.io/aflome)** by Team BLiMMM * **[Catch That Bus](https://thephantomdriver.itch.io/catch-that-bus-prototype)** by Nael Bachmaann * **[Che Casino](https://chef-andre.itch.io/che-casino)** by Turboschmuser * **[Echoes: Berlin](https://www.instagram.com/echoes__berlin/)** by Stijn Verstraete * **[Haunted Cleaner](https://headkino.cargo.site/games-haunted-cleaner-1)** by HeadKino Games * **[Hunting the Hunter](https://greenwavegames.webflow.io/)** by Green Wave Games * **[Ideologies of Magical Inquiry](https://phi-wi.itch.io/imi)** by Sophie Wilken * **[Incrementoad](https://vennnot.itch.io/)** by Vibe & Sync * **[Jumpless](https://ooleks111.itch.io/thereisnojump)** by Team Lobster * **[Oh Apollo!](https://store.steampowered.com/developer/bluebackpack)** by Blue Backpack * **[Realm Clash - GO!!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOsTD1LGRZ8)** by PhantoPaw * **[Saber Surfers](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/morphcat-games/triple-jump-a-platformer-multi-cartridge-for-the-nes)** by Morphcat Games * **[Saloon Tycoon](https://schleuder.games/)** by Schleuder Games * **[Sound Memory](https://github.com/lislis/sound-memory)** by lislis * **[Super Head Ball](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1579000/)** by Seth van Heijster * **[Swimpossible!](https://store.steampowered.com/app/3819490/Swimpossible/)** by Arcane Cabinet * **[Topic Kaleidoscopic](https://2026.award.amaze-berlin.de/games/2026/topic-kaleidoscopic)** by Anna Jonudottir * **[Tulip Season](https://store.steampowered.com/app/4067890/Tulip_Season/)** by Tatiana Kartashova * **[Untitled Car Twinstick Shooter Roguelike](http://iinacho.itch.io/)** by Nacho * **[Winnie-the-Pooh: Black Honey](https://store.steampowered.com/app/3687480/WinniethePooh_Black_Honey/)** by J6 Games * **[With a HEART and a GUN \[...\]](https://wiswis.itch.io/heartgunshoot)** by Wis • • • • • **ADDITIONAL INFO** Since restarting the event in 2023 we have asked attendees to wear a face mask.

Ever thought, "I like writing, but sometimes I wish I could create stories with people instead of alone"? In this meetup we'll be taking a little creative jaunt together. In small groups we'll be creating basic character sketches together and then we'll play around with these characters in stories with a little bit of randomness, perspective shifts and prompting. It's going to be a mix of a lot of talking and a bit of writing. Mostly, it's going to be fun, collaborative and pretty fast-paced. Because we're building each step of this together, there's no "minimum requirement" for writing or storytelling experience. You just need to be keen to be collaborative and imaginative with other people. There's a thought-out set of guidelines to steer us for the event, so you don't have to worry about what to do and can just focus on being creative. I'll bring everything you need, so you don't need to bring anything. We'll start at **15h00 sharp -** so please get to Cafe Augusta earlier; I'll be there from 14h30. We'll be done by 16h00. I'll put a little sign on the table that says "Creating Stories Together". **Please only RSVP if you will definitely come.** Spaces are limited and I need to reserve a table for enough people. Please cancel your RSVP at least 48h before if you can't make it. The event will be in English.

Join us for a hands-on workshop by Olena Kutsenko on Wednesday, February 25th from 5:30pm hosted by SPACE SHACK Coworking! **Venue:** **SPACE SHACK Coworking** Akazienstraße 3A, 10823 Berlin, Germany **Agenda:** * 5:30pm – 6:00pm: Welcome, Food/Drinks & Networking * 6:00pm - 8:30 pm: Workshop by Olena ** So that Olena has an idea of audience priorities, please fill in the [pre-workshop form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeJsBjgkL2EXvPtBScXtI5yAv6N9gFg64QmMajMUiMmaPllxQ/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=117948459316244235775) when you can (no personal info is collected)** ** Speaker & Workshop Details:** Olena Kutsenko, Staff Developer Advocate, Confluent **Hands-on workshop: real-time flight data streaming, anomalies, predictions, and visualizations** **Workshop Overview** In this hands-on session, we'll build a real-time analytics pipeline using flight data and modern streaming tools — step by step, and without hand-waving. We'll start by streaming data into Apache Kafka using Confluent Cloud, process it with Apache Flink, and land it in Apache Iceberg using Tableflow. From there, we'll query the data with Trino and turn it into dashboards using Superset. Everything runs in a practical setup you can reproduce later, including Docker and cloud-managed services. Along the way, we'll also look at anomaly detection and simple predictions using built-in functions, so you can see how real-time insights can be added without building custom ML pipelines or complex models. This session is all about doing, not slides. You'll see how the pieces actually fit together, what decisions matter in practice (regions, credentials, formats), and how to go from streaming data to analytics in a way that scales. If you're curious about real-time analytics, Kafka + Flink in the cloud, or how streaming, analytics, and lightweight predictive use cases come together in the same pipeline, this workshop will give you a clear, working mental model — and code you can take home. No prior experience with Kafka, Flink, or Iceberg required! Just bring your curiosity and a laptop! **Technical Prerequisites:** To make sure you can get hands on during this workshop, please make sure the following are installed on your system (**Make sure your bring your laptops!)** **1\.

[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/)**.
