Offener Deutschunterricht - Text & Konversation - Niveau B2+ (Fortgeschritten)
In diesem Kurs beschäftigen wir uns mit verschiedenen Texten aus unterschiedlichen Bereichen. Das können u.a. kurze Geschichten, Gedichte, Zeitungsartikel, Kolumnen oder Videos sein. Immer sind es Themen, die uns gefallen, die wir besonders interessant, wichtig oder manchmal auch richtig schlecht finden. Gemeinsam versuchen wir die Position der Autor*in, den Stil und die Argumentationsstruktur zu verstehen. Dazu diskutieren wir über das, was wir verstehen, welche Meinung wir zu dem Thema haben oder welche Fragen offen bleiben.
Gerne könnt ihr uns auch Themenvorschläge mitbringen oder zuschicken.
Der Kurs richtet sich an interessierte Menschen mit einem B2-Niveau (oder so ähnlich), die Lust haben sich weiter mit der deutschen Sprache zu beschäftigen und ihren Wortschatz zu erweitern.
Die Termine sind sporadisch.

Agentic Deployment & Flink’s Data Platform Ecosystem | Data Engineering Meetup
Let’s kick things off for another Meetup, this time focusing on Agentic Deployment and Flink’s Data Platform Ecosystem.
Join us on February 26th in Berlin and bring all your questions! : )
**Pawel Wiszniewski: *"From Ingestion to Insight: Flink’s Data Platform Ecosystem"***
[Pawel Wiszniewski](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pawel-wiszniewski/) is a Senior Data Engineer at[ Flink](https://www.goflink.com/shop/de-DE/deals/?campaignid=23008119587&adgroupid=190905032608&creative=676430819949&utm_source=google&utm_medium=search&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23008119587&gbraid=0AAAAABiSYNQr0V_xYSzvjjStCH6G-hLqP&gclid=CjwKCAiAkbbMBhB2EiwANbxtbQ-a9DxijUVV0nw5nXTXr037lYGiy6MIv5YbFjeo1qsZJStEPdBNxxoCPFQQAvD_BwE) and a well-known face at our Data Engineering Meetups. 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.
About her keynote: "AI agents are becoming autonomous digital operators capable of managing pipelines, calling APIs, and responding to live data signals. This session provides a practical guide to designing, deploying, and governing agentic systems in real-world production environments."

Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit - Barret Blake
**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.
