**Hi Ceph Berlin Meetup Cephalopods !**
Let's get in touch and meet again in Berlin!
As always, it's about exchanging ideas about Ceph, what Ceph is, the latest developments in the community, and what you do or plan to do with Ceph. Please, check the themes list below for what you want to add - let me know or let's discuss it in the \`discussions\` or via \`chat\`.

Mavericks Bouldering — A Casual Climb & Hangout in Berlin
A small NEXUS gathering built around movement rather than discussion alone.
This is for high-bandwidth Mavericks who spend most of their time in conceptual thought and need some physical counterweight. Why bouldering? Because it’s deliberate: short problems, full focus, and immediate feedback. You’re on the wall, solving something tangible. The mental noise drops instantly!
Conversations happen naturally in between climbs. No pressure, you move at your own pace. Some exchanges stay light. Others go deep. Both are fine. This is not about athletic achievement. It’s about presence, recalibration, and being around people who don’t require you to shrink or translate yourself.
Come as you are. Try some bouldering problems. Rest when needed, and engage where it makes sense.
**Bring comfortable clothes and climbing shoes if you have them (rentals are available at the gym).**
*Registration equals commitment. If you sign up, you show up. Read the group description first and decide consciously. For context about NEXUS, visit our* ***[website](https://thenexusformula.com)*** *and* ***[newsletter](https://news.thenexusformula.com)****.*

March Meetup: Audio in the Terminal and text prompts to music
On the 3rd March we will host the next iteration of our monthly Audio Developer Meetup. The long talk will be by Christian Grothe on building audio applications for the terminal in rust. The short talk will be by
Maksymilian Padalak on how to convert text prompts into plug-ins. See below!
As always, there will be a chance to network over drinks and pizza. Anyone interested in Audio development is welcome!
Doors open at 18:00, talks start at 18:15.
Please note: Attendance is **strictly limited** to people who have RSVP'd
Talk details:
**Building Audio Applications with a TUI in Rust** \- Christian Grothe
In this talk, we will explore the possibilities of building musical instruments with a terminal user interface using Rust and Ratatui. We will look at both the challenges and advantages of this approach, illustrated with practical examples and sound demonstrations.
**Christian Grothe** is a programmer and musician based in Potsdam. During his music studies, he became increasingly interested in creating improvised electronic music using his own tools. Starting with MAX/MSP, exploring the Axoloti board, experimenting with Arduino and Teensy, and eventually building an analog modular synthesizer from scratch, his technical abilities evolved through time and hands-on experience. Primarily focused on building tools for live sampling, Christian settled on a stack where he uses Rust to create custom sampler instruments running in the terminal, alongside SuperCollider patches—literally making music with tmux.
**pluginmaker.ai - How We Turn Text Prompts into Working VST/AU Plugins -** Maksymilian Padalak
pluginmaker.ai is the first ever browser-based, no-code generator for VST and AU audio plugins. Users describe an effect or instrument in plain language - "plate reverb with decay and damping controls" - and within minutes receive a plugin they can load in almost any DAW. In this talk they'll demo the full flow from prompt to plugin, walk through how the generation pipeline works at a high level, and share what they've learned building an AI system that writes real-time audio code.
Maksymilian Padalak is an ex-Nord Security (NordVPN) developer, guitarist, music producer, former professional standup comedian, and co-founder of pluginmaker.ai - an AI-powered platform that generates audio plugins from natural language descriptions. He co-founded the project with his best friend and ex high school bandmate Dominik Bilski, an ex-FedEx and ex-Pearson developer, bassist, and AI enthusiast. Both quit their jobs to build pluginmaker.ai full-time.
Architectural Kata #7: AI-Enabled Architecture
*This event is a collaboration with our friends from Software Design Berlin check out their Meetup page [here](https://www.meetup.com/software-design-berlin/) and sign up there!*
\-\-\-
**RSVPS:**
**Please sing up on the event page from Software Design Berlin with [this Link!](https://www.meetup.com/software-design-berlin/events/313519484/)**
**About the evening**
Ready to flex your architectural muscles… with a new twist? Join us for our first **AI-Enabled Architectural Kata**, where we'll tackle a real design challenge together, using generative AI as a collaborator in the architectural process. Small teams will work through a complex scenario, but this time each team gets a unique **AI collaboration role** that shapes how they interact with AI during the session. Expect lively debate, creative solutions, plus an honest reflection on where AI helps and where human judgement still reigns supreme.
Join us at **Thoughtworks Event Space** for an engaging evening dedicated to software design and architecture. Whether you're a seasoned architect, an AI-curious developer, or just passionate about software design, this meetup is the perfect platform to share, learn, experiment with new ideas and meet passionate people.
**Event Schedule**
* **18:15** – Doors open for snacks, drinks, and socialization
* **18:45** – Introduction
* **19:00** – **AI-Enabled Architecture Kata**: Small teams' work session
* **20:30** – Presentations by teams
**❓ What is an Architectural Kata?**
Inspired by the concept of “Code Kata,” Architectural Katas are exercises that allow architects to practice their skills in a real-world scenario. It's about honing our craft in software design through practical, hands-on challenges in small groups.
Read more about Architectural Katas on [Neal Ford](https://nealford.com/katas/about.html)'s website or on the [original Katas site](https://www.architecturalkatas.com/) by Ted Neward.
**What makes this one AI-Enabled?**
Building on the classic Architectural Kata format, this edition adds a new dimension: **AI as a team member**. Each team receives a unique role card that defines how they collaborate with AI during the session.
The goal isn't to see who can prompt the best. It's to explore together how AI changes the way we think about, discuss, and communicate software architecture.
**What to bring**
Please have access to at least one AI tool on your phone or laptop (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or similar). We'll provide a short prompting cheat sheet for architectural AI collaboration to get you started. No prior experience with AI for architecture work is needed!

Quality Engineering meetup #11
**PLEASE NOTE THE ADDRESS CHANGE! We're now at [w3hub.berlin](https://w3hub.berlin)**
*[Qase](https://qase.io) is presenting the **eleventh** Meetup on Quality Engineering in Berlin.*
*This time, we’re bringing you three deep-dive talks — all designed to challenge the way you think about quality, testing, and collaboration.*
*As always, expect great conversations, snacks, and drinks. See you there!*
**AGENDA**
**1\. Mitesh Patel\, Technical Consultant \- Scientific Instruments @ Altum Solutions: *Food QA: Testing Tasting***
On this fine evening, we shall enjoy some food … and also learn why we enjoy it. Because tasting is really a form of testing for our brains — wetware QA in essence.
But how do we reformulate this wetware testing into those familiar realms of software and hardware testing? It is not as simple as exchanging taste buds for test suites and bites for bytes. Just ask Big Food which spends billions on this same question: How can computers do taste tests like humans?
Guided by the example of an ML/AI-powered scientific instrument for chemical analyses, namely, a spectrometer, this session addresses this question and explores the broader topic of QA in the food industry. Discover how food companies scale testing across scientific software, device hardware, and food/human wetware. So grab a spoon for this insider scoop on QA for food.
**2\. Vitaly Sharovatov\, developer advocate @ Qase: *QA Myths Busting: A Practical Guide to Higher Quality***
Have you ever felt the urge to increase the amount of testing or hire more testers, thinking it would improve product quality? As a tester, have you ever been held “accountable” for quality or pressed for time, leaving you feeling helpless? Or perhaps you’ve been asked to justify quality assurance initiatives with numbers?
Our industry is filled with myths: from “quality can be measured” to “more testing means higher quality” and from “QA slows down work” to “testers are responsible for quality”. In this talk, I will present the myths I once believed, explain the dangers they pose to both teams and products, and demonstrate how they should be debunked and overcome.
**3\. Asya Isakova\, Co\-Founder @ TECH_Connect: 𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘯 𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵\, 𝘒𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘑𝘰𝘣**
The job market is wild: it’s hard to get hired, and sometimes even harder to stay hired. In a new role (or a new team), one of the fastest ways to reduce uncertainty and accelerate collaboration is to build trust quickly.
But how do colleagues and managers decide you’re trustworthy? It’s rarely just about closing Jira tickets or moving cards on a Kanban board. People assess trust through patterns of behavior: what you do, how consistently you do it, and how do you act towards others.
In this talk, you’ll learn an evidence-based approach to building trust at work using three practical components: integrity, reliability, and benevolence. We’ll unpack what shapes people’s trust judgments (including context, risk, and prior experiences) and translate research into concrete behaviors you can apply immediately: especially in multicultural and cross-functional teams.

PBerg engineers - monthly meetup
**This is 100% non-profit. The 15€ sign up fee for everyone is only to minimize last-minute cancellations. The total sum goes to a bar-tap that everyone can use to order drinks until the amount is used up. ‼️NO REFUNDS‼️**
**‼️Please don't just show up without RSVPing here and paying the 15€. We have a separate room that has limited capacity and a specific drinks agreement with the bar - so splitting up the bill won't become a mess.‼️**
**Small update on how your money get's used from May 2024 onwards:** As of this month, meetup.com has started charging me 34€ instead of 16€ per month. I've decided to distribute this fee evenly among all us participants every month. Example: In the last 12 meetups, the average number of attendees was 17. With 17 attendees I would effectively collect 230€ (after fees). I would now substract 34€ leaving us with 196€ that go to the bar. 15% get's tipped to the wait staff, in this case 30€, leaving us with 166€ effectively to order drinks. Hope everyone is cool with this system. :)

\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~
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!
