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**).

Save the date! The Mozilla Meetup series continues with talks focused on modern web technologies. To account for typical **no-show rates**, we’ve opened more RSVP spots than we can physically accommodate. Based on our last event, only about 36 of 100 registered participants (including Mozillians) attended in person. **We will admit attendees on a first-come, first-served basis and will need to close the doors once we reach room capacity (around 50 people).** Note that this event operates under the [Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines](https://www.mozilla.org/about/governance/policies/participation/). **18:00** \- Doors open **18:30** \- Tracking \(Protection\) Everywhere There are a variety of tracking vectors on the web. But how exactly does this tracking work and what mechanism do we have available to protect our privacy? This talk takes a closer look at the many anti-tracking mechanisms Firefox uses to protect its users, and discusses the threat models behind them and the practical protection they provide. Bio: Manuel Bucher is a software engineer on the Firefox Privacy team working on anti-tracking in Firefox **19:30:** No Servers, No APIs: AI in the Browser I’ll present how modern web technologies make it possible to run AI models directly in the browser combining WebLLM and WebAssembly to deliver powerful, privacy-preserving client-side AI experiences. For more context, here’s a related article I wrote for Mozilla AI: [https://blog.mozilla.ai/3w-for-in-browser-ai-webllm-wasm-webworkers/](https://blog.mozilla.ai/3w-for-in-browser-ai-webllm-wasm-webworkers/) **Bio:** Barış Güler is an engineering leader working on in-browser AI systems that leverage WebLLM, WASM, and web platform features to bring AI inference and tooling into client environments. He writes about web-native AI and open-source approaches to privacy-first machine intelligence (and a Rust fan, for sure).

Do you like to play football - but relaxed and not with competitive or aggressive players? Are you a bit lazy, a bit old, a bit unfit or not so talented? Are you tired of insecure bros who only want to show off their skills? **Then [Lousy & Lazy Football](https://www.instagram.com/landlsc/) is the right thing for you!** We are a group of friendly people who just want to have a relaxed kick. All genders, ages (+18) and nationalities welcome. **Feel free to join the waitlist even if it seems long - sometimes we make the event larger and play on two pitches (24 players, four teams) or even three pitches (36 players, six teams), depending on demand.** Note: **We do not allow high-studded football boots during our sessions.** To avoid injuries, we only play with "Multinocken" (multistuds) or shorter. Please have a look here: [link](https://www.11teamsports.com/de-de/fussballschuhe/multinocken/). Rules for lazy & lousy football 1. **Don’t be competitive** 2. **No hard tackling/sliding challenges** 3. **Support new players by giving them the time and space to play the ball** 4. **Don’t dribble past multiple players (trying to take on a player is fine but at no point should you be trying to dribble past multiple players).** 5. **Don’t close down the defenders too quickly. Give the team a chance to play the ball out.** 6. **Rotate the goalkeeper** 7. **Be a teamplayer** Waiting list: This meetup is for members of the Lousy & Lazy Sport Club. If you want to try out our lousy & lazy sport events, you can do a trial run (Probetraining).

Join us for the next Spring User Group Berlin meetup! This time, we are bridging the gap between rock-solid operations and developer joy. **Talk 1: Secure and Seamless: Injecting Kubernetes Secrets into Spring Applications** *Speaker: Dmitriy Goi, Deutsche Bank* Look, we’ve all done it. You need a database password, so you throw it into an environment variable and call it a day. It works, it’s fast, and your app starts up. But then the security audit hits, or your credentials rotate and suddenly your logs are full of connection errors because your Spring context is stuck in the past. At Deutsche Bank, "good enough" usually isn't. I’ve spent the last few years moving Spring apps into Kubernetes and realizing that most tutorials lie to you. They show you the easy way, not the way that survives in production. I’m going to show you why environment variables are a security trap and how mounting secrets as files actually works (and where it breaks). We’ll get into the mess of secret rotation, why you probably need a CSI driver or an External Secret operator, and how to make Spring Boot actually pick up those changes without a manual restart. **About the speaker:** A passionate software engineer at Deutsche Bank, Dmitriy brings 8 years of development experience to his focus on modernizing application development. He specializes in Spring Boot and Kubernetes and is currently helping lead the charge on migrating key applications to a hybrid cloud environment, emphasizing secure and efficient engineering practices. \-\-\- **Talk 2: Adopting Kotlin for Spring 7: Cleaner Code, Fewer Bugs, Some Tradeoffs** *Speaker: Daniil Tsarev, JetBrains* Kotlin is becoming a first-class citizen in the Spring ecosystem, especially with the latest features in Spring 7. In this talk, we'll explore how easy it is to adopt Kotlin in existing Spring projects, what tangible benefits it brings to everyday development, and where some edges still are. Expect practical examples, real-world tradeoffs, and an honest look at whether Kotlin is the right choice for your Spring stack. **About the speaker:** Daniil Tsarev is a Software Developer at JetBrains with over 10 years of experience working with the Spring ecosystem. Previously was developing a Spring-based full-stack framework for enterprise solutions. Now passionate about developer productivity, he’s dedicated to creating tools and solutions that make developers’ lives easier. **📅 Agenda** [**18:30**]: Doors open, food, drinks & networking [**19:00**]: Talk 1: Secure and Seamless (K8s Secrets) [**19:45**]: Short break [**20:00**]: Talk 2: Adopting Kotlin for Spring 7 [**21:00**]: Q&A and more networking [**22:00**]: Closing the doors Come for the knowledge, stay for the community.

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
