Project Development

Easter Monday carries a different kind of energy — somewhere between a long weekend, a fresh start, and the feeling that spring is finally here. This Social Butterfly Club Meetup brings that energy into a relaxed Monday evening. A space to connect, share conversations, and start the week with a bit more lightness and curiosity. 🌷 There might be a few small Easter surprises hidden around — nothing too serious, just a playful excuse to look around, smile, and maybe start a conversation with someone new. 🐣 Whether you’ve spent the weekend with people, by yourself, or somewhere in between — this is a chance to step back into the city and connect. ✨ Suggested Ice Breaker Question: “What has been a highlight of your long weekend?” Orga This meetup is donation based.

Hey friends! 👋 Developer Relations is one of those rare disciplines where you're part engineer, part storyteller, part community builder. And it rarely comes with a playbook. Whether you're deep in the DevRel trenches, building out your first DevRel team, or exploring whether this might be the right career path for you — this is your people. Join us on Wednesday, April 8th at 6 PM at Castle Mitte for an informal evening of conversations, connections, and maybe a few strong opinions about what "good DevRel" actually looks like. No talks. No slides. Just real conversations with folks who get it. To get things going, the organizers will throw out a question to the group: what does AI actually mean for DevRel right now? Is it changing how we write docs, run communities, measure impact? Or is the hype outpacing the reality? Come with your take. This is a great space for: * DevRel practitioners looking to swap notes and expand their Berlin network * Founders and engineering leaders thinking about building or scaling a DevRel function * Anyone curious about a career in DevRel and wanting to learn from people doing it See you at Castle Mitte! 🏰

Welcome to Sunday Tech Coffee. This is a **networking** event for those in the tech industry in Berlin. We are usually inside and to the right. Ask the barista/bartender if you can't find us.

Back in August, we explored how Design Thinking can help us uncover and validate the right problems. But even when we agree on what to build, things often go wrong, not because of bad solutions, but because we don’t fully understand what the problem actually means in practice. In this session, we’ll build on that idea and focus on the next step: turning vague ideas into something concrete, shared, and testable. Using Example Mapping - a lightweight technique from Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD) - we’ll work in small groups to: * Break down a feature into rules, examples, and questions * Surface hidden assumptions and edge cases * Align on what the behaviour of a system should actually look like If the previous session was about finding the right problem, this one is about understanding it well enough to build it right. This is a hands-on workshop. Be prepared to participate fully and add to the energy of the room. Looking forward to seeing you there!

In our last sprint, we established our cloud-native foundation by containerizing our agents and deploying them to Google Cloud Run. But manual deployments don't scale and require you to dig out the exact docker build and gcloud push commands from your shell history every time you tweak your agent’s prompt. **The Plan:** This session is about creating a **truly robust, repeatable deployment process**. We will wrap up our infrastructure setup by writing GitHub Actions that automatically build and push our agent containers to Google Cloud Artifact Registry on every commit. With a solid, "set-and-forget" pipeline in place, we'll shift focus back to agent behavior. We will build a simple orchestrator agent that uses the A2A protocol to dynamically delegate tasks to the worker agents living in the cloud. **This is a "Lab" session. We will:** * Automate for Robustness: Replace manual command-line wrangling with a GitHub Action workflow to build and push our Docker images to GCP on every push to main. * Build the Orchestrator: Develop a lightweight central agent designed to interpret a complex user prompt and route sub-tasks appropriately. * Live Multi-Agent Communication: Establish an active dialogue over the A2A protocol between your local orchestrator and your newly deployed cloud workers. **The Format** We run our sessions like an anthology series: Every meetup is a standalone sprint. While we often build on previous results, each session provides a complete experience and remains fully accessible to first-time attendees. This is a high-density micro-meetup limited to 6 seats. **What you'll build** By the end of the session, you'll have: * A Repeatable CI/CD Pipeline: A set-and-forget GitHub Action that handles the Docker build and Artifact Registry push automatically, ensuring consistent deployments without the hassle. * An Orchestrator Agent: A coordinator capable of breaking down requests and utilizing external agent tools. * A Live A2A Network: A functioning multi-agent setup where your orchestrator successfully communicates with and aggregates results from your cloud-hosted workers. **Schedule (Saturday, 10:00 - 13:00 CEST)** * 10:00: Quick round of introductions. * 10:15: Intro session: Robust CI/CD with GitHub Actions, Artifact Registry, and Orchestrator routing patterns. * 10:30: Build time: CI/CD automation & building the Orchestrator. * 12:00: Live demos + technical teardown. * 12:45: Wrap-up + takeaways. **Prerequisites** * Accounts: A Google Account (for GCP) and a GitHub Account (for Actions). * Laptop with dev setup: Docker and Git installed and working. * Access to an LLM API: (Gemini, Claude, OpenAI, etc.). * Mindset: This is a lab for engineers, not a tutorial. We learn by building, breaking, and iterating. **Logistics** * Location: We meet at my office in the Grunewald area near Martin-Luther-Krankenhaus. The exact address will be shared privately with attendees to maintain privacy. Capacity: Limited to 6 seats.

Pay attention! We’re delaying a week for those of you who may be on Spring break and/or celebrating the holiday. Ok, no pancakes, but waffles-a-plenty. Join the local UX and Digital Design community for a casual monthly breakfast. Look for us upstairs!

On Thursday, April 16, 2026, we will meet at the 700N Conference Room at 700 N Hurstbourne Pkwy. Doors will open at 6:00 p.m., and the presentations will begin sharply at 6:30 p.m. Along with an excellent presentation, TEKsystems will provide food. Please RSVP so we know how much food to order. Afterward, we will go to Brick House Tavern for drinks and food to continue the conversation. The session will also be broadcast at https://twitch.tv/TaleLearnCode. ### What If Your AI Could Be a Team? GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!

**PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT NOTES:** 1. The dates listed for this series are about 95% reliable. We are completing our 2026 schedule as we speak, so minor adjustments are still occurring. 2. Each class in this series has an attendance fee, though this first offering is free on a first-come, first-served basis. 3. Each class, from BOTH a sign-up and fee perspective, is a separate entity. **Introduction:** HTML5 is the foundational technology for modern web development, serving as the standard markup language for structuring and presenting content on the World Wide Web. Developed through a collaboration between the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG), HTML5 provides a robust system of elements (tags) that tell a browser how to display text, images, and multimedia in a clear and meaningful way. It works in concert with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for presentation and JavaScript for interactivity, forming the core technology stack for virtually all websites and many web applications today. One of the significant advancements of HTML5 is the introduction of powerful new features and elements designed to improve functionality and simplify development. Key additions include native multimedia support via the \ and \ tags, allowing developers to embed media without third-party plugins. It also offers new form controls for better user input, such as date and email types, and introduces web storage capabilities to store data offline for enhanced performance. These features streamline the process of building rich, interactive web experiences. A significant focus of HTML5 is enhanced semantics and better structural organization of content. New semantic elements like , , , , and \ provide meaningful structure to documents, which aids in search engine optimization (SEO) and improves accessibility for assistive technologies. These elements define different parts of a webpage (e.g., a header for the top, a nav for navigation links, a footer for the bottom), making the code more readable and understandable for both developers and machines. This emphasis on clear structure helps in creating more logical and maintainable websites. Developing websites in today's competitive environment requires taking advantage of every technique you can to get the maximum exposure possible. Our HTML5 class will not only show you what's new in the HTML specification, but also the best way to develop optimized web pages that get the attention your client and/or company requires. **The breakdown of the four-class series is as follows:** **Class 1: Introduction to Web Structure and Basic HTML5** This class introduces the core concepts of web development, the history of HTML, and the fundamental structure of an HTML5 document. * **Topics**: * **Web Architecture Overview**: How browsers, servers, and web pages interact. * **HTML Fundamentals**: Understanding elements, tags, and attributes. * **Basic Document Structure**: Using !DOCTYPE html, html, head, and body. * **Text Formatting**: Headings (h1 to h6), paragraphs (p), and text-level semantics (e.g., strong, em, br). * **Lists and Links**: Creating ordered (ol) and unordered (ul) lists, and linking between pages using anchor tags (a). * **Activity**: Students create a basic personal webpage containing text, a list of hobbies, and a link to an external website. **Class 2: Semantic HTML5 and Multimedia Integration** Class 2 focuses on modern HTML5 elements that provide meaning (semantics) to content, improving accessibility and search engine optimization. It also covers adding images and multimedia. * **Topics**: * **Semantic Elements**: Understanding and implementing elements like header, footer, nav, section, and article. * **Images**: Adding images using the img tag and attributes like src, alt, width, and height. * **Multimedia**: Embedding audio and video content using the audio and video tags. * **File and Folder Structure**: Best practices for organizing project files and managing file paths. * **Activity**: Students refactor their Class 1 project to use a proper semantic layout and add an image and a link to a video file. **Class 3: Forms and User Input** This session is dedicated to building interactive HTML5 forms, which are essential for capturing user data and input. * **Topics**: * **Form Basics**: Using the form element, action and method attributes. * **Input Types**: Exploring various input types (e.g., text, password, checkbox, radio, date, submit). * **Form Elements**: Utilizing label, textarea, select, option, and button. * **Client-side Validation**: Implementing HTML5 validation attributes like required, minlength, and pattern. * **Activity**: Students build a complete contact form with different input fields, radio buttons, and basic HTML5 validation. **Class 4: Introduction to CSS3 and Basic Styling** The final class introduces Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to style the HTML content and make the web pages visually appealing and accessible. * **Topics**: * **CSS Fundamentals**: The role of CSS, selectors, properties, and values. * **Integrating CSS**: Using inline, internal, and external style sheets. * **The Box Model**: Understanding margin, padding, border, and content for basic layout. * **Basic Styling**: Changing colors, fonts, and text alignment. * **Accessibility Basics**: Identifying principles of web design usability and accessibility, including ARIA labels. * **Activity**: Students apply an external CSS file to their Class 3 form project to style the layout, colors, and fonts, culminating in a well-structured and styled webpage.

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus. Sponsored by [Transform Labs](https://www.transformlabs.com/services)
