Hello fellow Symfonians, we are thrilled to announce the first user group meeting of the year, featuring two insightful talks that you **won't want to miss**! This time we are hosted by c-base (Rungestrasse 20 10179 Berlin). Come by and enjoy an evening of learning, networking, and socializing with fellow Symfony and PHP developers. **Agenda:** 18:30: Doors open 19:00: Welcome and Introduction 19:20: **Talk 1: "Agentic coding with OpenCode" by Damijan Cavar** 19:50: Break & Snack 20:00: **Talk 2: "Composer Deep Dive" by Nils Adermann** 20:40: Socializing **Talk Details:** **Talk 1: "Agentic coding with Opencode" by Damijan Cavar** Summary (ChatGPT generated): AI coding assistants are evolving beyond “vibe coding” toward **agentic, spec-driven development**. This talk explores why prompt-based workflows break down at scale and how structured specifications create a reliable foundation for autonomous coding agents. You’ll see how **OpenCode**, an open-source, model-agnostic coding agent, uses planners, implementers, and reviewers to turn specs into verifiable code while keeping context small and repeatable. The session also covers practical security considerations, sandboxing strategies, and real-world lessons from using agents on non-trivial projects. **Talk 2: "Composer Deep Dive" by Nils Adermann** This talk will take the audience on a deep dive into Composer. We'll start on the surface with the big picture of Composer (how exactly do require/update/install relate to json/lock/vendor), followed by commands and arguments not widely known and used (e.g. bump, why/why-not, update options like --with-all-dependencies, --minimal-changes, and --ignore-platform-req=php+ and what exactly the plus means). We'll then advance to the underlying concepts like the platform repository, security concepts around Composer plugins and answer questions like "Why is there a hash in the lock file and how to resolve conflicts?", or "Why do repositories need to be defined on the root composer.‎ json?" and finally reach into dependency resolution with a quick explainer on how Composer uses a SAT solver and boolean algebra to decide which packages to install. Back above water, the talk will end with an outlook on changes we're planning for Composer and [packagist.org](http://packagist.org) in the future. Don't miss these insightful talks, engaging discussions, and networking opportunities. We can't wait to see you at the **February Symfony User Group**!" If you have any questions or accessibility requirements, please reach out to us. Also, if your company wants to be the next host for the User Group, just let us know!

Let's talk Android! This month, we are at SumUp and are welcoming these amazing opportunities: **Android AI Workflows** - *Frank Tamre* I will share a practical, what i sue set of AI workflows I use in Android projects to ship faster without sacrificing code quality. This isn’t a “prompt engineering” talk; It’s a set of repeatable patterns that can integrate into Android engineering. **Crafting Idiomatic APIs with Kotlin and Compose** - *Ash Davies* In this talk, we’ll dive into the principles of idiomatic Kotlin and explore how they apply to designing Compose APIs. You’ll learn how to leverage Kotlin’s language features, from DSLs and inline functions to advanced type safety and composable conventions, to craft APIs that are a joy to use. By mastering these techniques, you can deliver APIs that not only “work” but truly feel like Kotlin. **Your Talk here** - *You* *{Insert your talk topic here}* Afterwards, we welcome you to stay and socialize (or sit in the corner listening) with or against our community. Happy Coding / Prompting / Designing / Leading / Working.

Hello! I’m organising a coworking + socialising session for all of us who are working on projects (e.g. our own creations, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. To ensure that we have time for both socialising AND working, we will be using the so-called “Pomodoro” technique: **50 mins deep work** (silent), followed by **10 mins break** to socialise. And then repeat! You are welcome to join whatever your personal background is, and whatever project you are working on. I (the host) speak English and German, so either language is fine. ——————————————————- AGENDA: * **Short Intro** Tell us who you are and share something about what you will be working on today * **Pomodoro Session** \- 3x \(3h\) Each Pomodoro session consists of 50 mins focused “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, **phones on silent mode**) -> then 10 mins break: a chance to share your progress with others -> Repeat * **15 mins Wrap Up** Celebrate what you achieved and get to know others ———— The location is **Espresso House near Checkpoint Charlie** (they have multiple outlets - so be sure to go to the correct one!) Wifi + power plugs are available - but best to bring a fully charged laptop, just in case You **do not** have to pay anything. But since we are using the café space, it is common courtesy to buy at least one drink (coffee costs roughly **4 Euros**).

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\.

We're super excited to see our guest now stepping into the presenter's role. About his keynote: "You have data, analysts, and business use cases. But you can't simply stitch them together with spreadsheets, SQL queries, and Python scripts and still expect business users to trust the dashboards. To ensure data quality, reliability, security and freshness, you need a well organised set of tools and processes: a Data Platform. In this presentation, I will explain how the Data Platform at Flink was built, outline its high-level architecture, and describe the key products, tools, and processes that enable us to operate over a thousand data models and maintain full visibility into the current state of the business." **Sneha Nafade: *"AI Agents & Agentic Deployment"*** [Sneha Nafade](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sneha-nafade/) is a Cloud Architect at [Diconium](https://diconium.com/en/?utm_term=&utm_campaign=2025+%7C+Remarketing+%7C+DE/EN+%7C+All+Visitors&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&hsa_acc=9083156072&hsa_cam=23281606208&hsa_grp=&hsa_ad=&hsa_src=x&hsa_tgt=&hsa_kw=&hsa_mt=&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23483494785&gbraid=0AAAAADQqBJ6jY8TgZt7Ocjy37F5Gup62I&gclid=CjwKCAiAkbbMBhB2EiwANbxtbfuZyXSVyFENwFuHv9tAcygFWNM24hiXlk3rvKVpwBFfM__jFEBHBRoCMpsQAvD_BwE) with a rich experience in Cloud & Cybersecurity Architecture & Engineering.

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!\*\***

**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** *Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit: From Intent to Implementation* Spec-driven development flips the traditional workflow on its head: instead of code being the source of truth, the specification becomes the backbone of design, collaboration, and delivery. In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA
