**Hi everyone!** We’ll now be meeting twice a week at Denizen House (Köpenicker Str. 40, 10179 Berlin), on **Mondays and Wednesdays**! * **Mondays:** levels A1 to B1 * **Wednesdays:** levels B1 to C1 We work with dedicated materials tailored to each level, so everyone will have a place to practice and improve. **Event schedule** * **18:00 – 18:30** Arrival and registration * **18:30 – 19:50** Sprachcafé * **19:50 – 20:00** End and clean up Please be aware that the moderated event starts at **18:30**. Before this time, we are busy setting up the space. Registrations usually take place around **18:15 / 18:20**. Participants are kindly asked **not to arrive too far in advance** at the house. If someone arrives much earlier, Denizen may ask them to pay either for a drink (consumption) or for a **day pass**, as the space is a co-working environment during the day. **Please remember, our event is only happening from 18:00 to 20:00** **How the Sprachcafé works** We use different materials to help participants gain confidence in German. Together with whiteboards and our volunteers, the Sprachcafé is based on **interactive conversations** in small groups. **Participation fee** The Sprachcafé has a **participation fee of 5 €**, which helps cover organizational costs and **includes one soft drink for free**. Tickets can be purchased directly on the day of the event, card and cash payments are accepted. As the Sprachcafé has become very popular, we now need to **limit the number of participants**. Please understand this measure; it ensures that everyone has a comfortable space to practice. We kindly ask you to be **rücksichtsvoll** and only RSVP “Yes” if you are certain you can attend. If your plans change at the last minute, please update your RSVP so someone on the waiting list can take your spot. Getting your ticket early can help secure your place. **Please note** Our event will begin **promptly** at the scheduled start time. If you arrive late, we cannot guarantee your participation, even if you have a ticket or have RSVP’d. We encourage all guests to arrive on time to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. **About Denizen** Denizen is a new-style co-working space focused on being an integral part of local communities. Located on the ground floor of the historic Eiswerk on Köpenicker Straße in Kreuzberg, Denizen House is a communal place providing work, refreshment, and recreational facilities throughout the day. Think of it as a living room for the neighborhood. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to let me know. If you’d like to contribute to this night, send me a message! Ich freue mich schon! Grüße, **Nacho**

**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. Everybody's welcome, regardless of their background and knowledge level: if you've got any interest in games, we'll make sure you have a good time! This is NOT an event only aimed at developers. The event series is funded by [Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg](https://www.medienboard.de/) and sponsored by [Happy Broccoli](https://www.happybroccoligames.com/), the Berlin indie game studio behind the Duck Detective series. A huge thank you to both for their support! • • • • • **HOW IT WORKS** The event is made of 2 parts: * TALK: Game-related presentations + announcements from the community * PLAY: All participants are welcome to exhibit projects they've made • • • • • **AGENDA** * **18:30** Doors open, project showcase starts * **19:30 to 20:30** Talks & community announcements * **22:00** Event ends • • • • • **THE TALK PART (PRESENTATIONS)** **Sebastian Möring: Precarious Pixels. 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.

... 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. Sehr gut mit den Öffis zu erreichen. * Wenn Du vor Ort ankommst, ist alles ausgeschildert. . ** Das bringst Du mit ...** * Etwas zu trinken (z.B. deine Wasserflasche, keinen Alkohol!) * Wenn Du magst: Zettel und Stift. * Du solltest satt sein und vorher gegessen haben * Bargeld für den Wertschätzungsbeitrag (10-20 Euro) . **Kann ich mich vorbereiten?** Nein, brauchst Du nicht. Der Workshop ist für Neulinge, die mal in die GFK schnuppern wollen, ebenso wie Menschen mit einer GFK-Ausbildung, die einen Raum zum üben und erfahren suchen. Wenn Du etwas zur GFK lesen willst, empfehle ich dieses Buch: * [Marshall B. Rosenberg: Gewaltfreie Kommunikation](https://amzn.to/4qSnp6L) (Werbung, Amazon) . *[Als Amazon-Partner verdiene ich an qualifizierten Verkäufen]* . **Mehr über Abenteuer Freundschaft:** Abenteuer Freundschaft forscht zum Thema Freundschaft. * Was ist gute Freundschaft eigentlich? * Wie wird man Freunde? * Wie gestaltet man eine gute Freundschaft über Jahrzehnte? . Mehr erfährst Du auf [www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de](www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de). . Auf Meetup findest Du Freundschafts-Workshops, Wanderungen, Spaziergänge, Männerabende, Frauen-Freundschafts-Workshops und Themenabende zur Vertiefung psychologischer Fragen. . Lorenz wird als sehr erfahrender Gast-Trainer diesen Abend gestalten. Ich (Georg) freue mich sehr darauf und nehme auch teil. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- ** Get in touch & stay in touch:** **✈ Telegram-Kanal: [t.me/abenteuer_freundschaft](http://t.me/abenteuer_freundschaft)** für Events, Workshops & Neuste Erkenntnisse aus der Freundschaftsforschung (Überschriften) **✉ Freundschafts-Newsletter:** [https://abenteuer-freundschaft.de/newsletter](https://abenteuer-freundschaft.de/newsletter) Alle 4 Wochen das Neuste aus der Freundschaftsforschung; oft seltener, denn ich schreibe nur, wenn es wirklich etwas zu berichten gibt. ** 6 Zutaten großartiger Freundschaften** Seit 2020 forsche ich (Georg), was großartige Freundschaften wirklich ausmacht.

## Wo & Wann? **JEDEN MONTAG** findet die offene Lesebühne des Autorenforums Berlin statt (außer an Feiertagen) **BEGINN**: 20:00 Uhr **ANMELDUNG zum Lesen: ab 19:30 Uhr** beim Moderator des Abends – siehe [Termine](http://autorenforum-berlin.de/wordpress/termine/); Die Teilnahme an der Veranstaltung ist kostenlos. **SCHWARTZSCHE VILLA** **Großer Salon** Direkt am S/U Rathaus Steglitz Grunewaldstr. 55 Der offene Leseabend stellt das Herzstück des Autorenforums e.V. dar. Er steht nicht nur Mitgliedern, sondern grundsätzlich jedem Autor und jeder Autorin offen, der gerne einen unveröffentlichten Text vor Publikum präsentieren möchte. Auch Kritik kann jedermann üben. Wer lieber zuhören möchte, kann einfach am Montagabend um 20.00 in der Schwartzschen Villa erscheinen. Für Lesewillige gilt die unten stehende ausführliche Information (mündliche Anmeldung ab 19:30 Uhr). *Unfortunately at the moment, it's only possible to present German texts. Unpublished texts that are already translated into German are highly welcome!* ## Was erwartet Sie? Im Großen Salon der Schwartzsche Villa treffen Sie auf einen Kreis von Literaturbegeisterten, die Ihrem Text eine ernsthafte und fundierte Kritik spenden. Das Publikum wechselt. Es ist gemischt, geeint durch das Interesse an Texten. Die Autorinnen und Autoren des Abends lesen aus ihren bislang unveröffentlichten Kurzgeschichten, lyrischen Texten, Erzählungen, Romanen, manchmal auch aus Theaterstücken. Die Autoren stellen nicht sich selbst, sondern ihre Texte der Kritik. Wir verstehen uns als Arbeitsbühne. Deshalb wird bei uns nach den Lesungen nicht geklatscht. Die Texte werden nach der Lesung des Autors auf handwerkliche Stärken und Schwächen „abgeklopft“. Es geht im Forum daher nicht um weltanschauliche Debatten. Im Idealfall hat der Autor/die Autorin nach einer Lesung und der Kritik verstanden, wo die Stärken und Schwächen seines Textes liegen, woran es seinem Text noch fehlt, was er ändern sollte und wo er bei seiner Überarbeitung ansetzen kann. Der Abend endet gegen 22.00. Im Anschluss können Sie mit den Autoren im Café der Schwartzschen Villa noch ins Gespräch kommen und manches aus dem Literaturbetrieb erfahren. Wir sind im Kontakt auch mit namhaften Vertretern desselben. Also – nicht gleich verschwinden! Dranbleiben. Reden Sie mit den Forumianern! ## Sie möchten selbst lesen? Wenn Sie selbst im Autorenforum lesen wollen, gibt es einige Dinge zu beachten. Wir bitten Sie sehr herzlich, sich mindestens einmal vor Ihrer ersten Lesung bei uns mit unseren Gegebenheiten vertraut zu machen. Ihren Lesewunsch können Sie dann ab 19.30 Uhr (Einlass) bei der Moderatorin oder dem Moderator eines Leseabends anmelden. **Wir weisen ausdrücklich daraufhin, dass über die Annahme und Reihenfolge der Lesungen die jeweiligen Moderatoren entscheiden und es NICHT zwingend nach der Reihenfolge der Anmeldungen geht!** In der Regel reicht die Zeit nur für drei Autoren je Abend und die Nachfrage ist oft recht hoch. Falls Sie einen lyrischen Text vortragen möchten, bringen Sie bitte mindestens 10 (zehn) Kopien mit, damit Ihr Publikum mitlesen kann. Die Kopien erhalten Sie selbstverständlich zurück. # Wie üben wir Textkritik? Nach der Idee von Maik Turni ## **Anschleichen** **Wie wirkt der Text auf mich?** (Keine Angst vor Adjektiven! ) **Was habe ich gehört?** (Zusammenfassung (Nacherzählung)) **Was blieb unverstanden** (akustisch oder logisch) ## **Unter der Lupe** **Was ist das für ein Text?** (Prosa: Genre? Lyrik: Welche Art lyrischer Text?) **Thema** (Welches Thema berührt der Text? Hat der Autor sein Thema im Griff? Ist es überzeugend/plausibel/gut recherchiert, vielleicht sogar zu faktenreich?) **Figuren** (Wie wirken die Figuren? Wer ist die Hauptfigur? Welches Problem hat die Hauptfigur?) **Perspektive** (Wie verhält sich die Erzählperspektive zum Thema / zu den Figuren?) **Sprache** (Welche Bilder sind stimmig / welche nicht? Was lässt sich zum Rhythmus sagen? Sind die Sätze syntaktisch und grammatikalisch korrekt?) **Dramaturgie** (Schafft der Text es, Spannung zu erzeugen? In welcher Reihenfolge werden die Dinge erzählt?) **Bedeutung** (Gelingt es dem Autor, die Bedeutung, die er seinem Text geben will, auch im Leser entstehen zu lassen?) ## **Klarspüler** Fragen werden an den Text gestellt, nicht an den Autor! Daher sollte der Text antworten. ## **Weichspüler** Wird bei uns nicht verwendet. Aber es gilt: Nicht der Autor wird kritisiert, sondern der Text! Hart zum Text, sanft zum Autor!

Which means: if you understand but don't necessarily speak German, that should be perfectly fine.

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!

A regular meeting to read and discuss work writers' are currently engaged in. For screenwriters' serious about their writing and wanting the support and incentive a periodic group meeting can provide. The meeting will be at Alexanderplatz (contact Marc, the organizer, beforehand for exactly where). We'll make introductions about ourselves, our experiences and what we want out of the group. If you're comfortable in doing so, come prepared with a something you're working on that you want to read or discuss. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "The author is grateful to her weekly writers' group for kindness and criticism during the writing of this book." *from the Acknowledgments from the book "The Joy Luck Club" by Amy Tan*

Register: [https://globalai.community/chapters/berlin/events/ai-memory-and-founders-night/](https://globalai.community/chapters/berlin/events/ai-memory-and-founders-night/) This edition of the **Global AI Berlin** meetup focuses on one of the most critical topics for modern AI systems: **AI Memory** and its role in shaping the next generation of intelligent applications. The event brings together founders, product leaders, and engineers to explore how memory is designed, structured, and operationalized in real-world AI systems. With contributions from teams at **Neo4j, Cognee, MemVerge, Riverty and more**, and the broader Berlin AI community, the discussions will cover practical approaches to building memory-enabled applications at production scale.

**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
