Join us for an open and collaborative meetup dedicated to OpenClaw and Nvidia Nemoclaw — the emerging ecosystem for AI‑driven automation and intelligent agent workflows. Whether you're already working with Claw agents, experimenting with the tooling, integrating automations into real systems, or just curious about what’s possible, this meetup is the place to connect. **What this meetup is about** A relaxed, open discussion space for topics such as: * Building and orchestrating Claw agents. * Best practices for running and scaling ClawdBot Integrations, workflows, and experimental setups. * Secure agent execution and sandboxing. * Tools, extensions, and community‑built add‑ons. * Troubleshooting, insights, and real‑world use cases. * Ideas about the future direction of the OpenClaw ecosystem. This is a topic‑open session — everyone is welcome to bring questions, demos, ideas, or challenges they’re working on. No slides or formal agenda required. Bring snacks or drinks if you like — completely optional. We’re excited to meet developers, tinkerers, researchers, and enthusiasts who want to explore the next generation of agent‑based AI automation together.

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! 🏰

If you are navigating life with both being a person of color and being neurodivergent—this sharing circle is for you. **Details** 📅 Wednesday, 8th of April 2026 🕕 18:30 - 20:30 📍 Meeting Room in BIW\*oC Rising https://maps.app.goo.gl/Y6wTvMXV4rCUkgzP8 🎟️ Free but a donation for the space is highly appreciated. **Community disclaimer:** This circle is organized entirely by neurodivergent volunteers who contribute their time, energy, and resources to create this space. They deserve patience and kindness. **What happens here** * We gather. We share. We listen. * Stimming, fidgeting, moving around, stepping out for a break, is always welcome. * For this first event, we will try to open with a round of introductions. If you feel called to, you can share three words that represent your neurodivergent and BIPOC life. * There is no pressure to share if you can't think of any or would rather just pass. * After we hear the words, we can see what themes emerge and let the conversation flow from there. * The format of this event can be changed and discussed the further we go with this sharing circle. **This space is for you if:** * You're a person of color—Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern, mixed-race, or any marginalized racial or ethnic identity. * You're neurodivergent—diagnosed, self-identified, questioning, or just know your brain works differently: ADHD, autistic, dyslexic, AuDHD, or any other neurotype. **Community Agreements** * **This is a space to heal, not to harm.** Experiencing racism is painful and real. That pain is welcome here. However, this is not a space to express sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, colorist, or any other discriminatory attitudes toward any person or group—regardless of their identity. We all carry wounds. But those wounds do not give us permission to wound others. * **Confidentiality:** What is shared in the circle stays in the circle. This helps us build trust. * **No Fixing:** This is a space for sharing experiences, not for giving unsolicited advice, diagnosing others, or trying to "fix" someone. We are here to witness and support, not to problem-solve. * **Content Warnings:** If you plan to share something that involves heavy topics like trauma, self-harm, or graphic discrimination, please give a brief warning before you start (e.g., "I'd like to share something about a difficult experience..."). This allows others to gently step out or prepare themselves. * **Respect the Space:** Please be mindful and respectful of the venue that hosts us. **About the Space Hosting Us** "BIWOC\* Rising is a Berlin-based intersectional organization for Black, Indigenous, and Women\* of Color, as well as trans, intersex, and non-binary people of color. It provides a safer workspace, socal club, networking opportunities, and its current project, EquiNet, which offers workshops and events to support members’ social, professional, and economic empowerment. The organization aims to build community, challenge systemic discrimination, and strengthen opportunities for marginalized groups through inclusive spaces." **Learn more about BIWOC\* Rising**: https://biwoc-rising.org/ **We can't wait to share space with you.**

Join the Minotaurs Men's Basketball Team on Wednesday at 8pm at an indoor basketball court in Neukolln. We currently have two teams, one in Bezirkliga and one in FBL.

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**).

OBS! Normally these events take place on the FIRST THURSDAY OF THE MONTH, however due to Easter we will be hosting it on the SECOND THURSDAY of the month this time. **Meaning, the event will be on the 9th of April instead of the 2nd.** Nico Caramella breaks down the strategy of placing sponsored "best X" articles on high-authority third-party publishers. Join us on April 9th, for an exciting and highly relevant session! For anyone looking to expand their knowledge on how to get noticed and build their presence in AI-recommendations , this will be an important one to attend. The session will be held at the **Buzzmatic Office, Schönhauser Allee 149**, from **9:30 to 11:00**. Enjoy **free attendance,** some lovely **breakfast** and great conversation! Nicolas Caramella, CEO and Founder of [GetCited.de](http://getcited.de/ "http://getcited.de/"), will come to the Buzzmatic office and do a session on How "Best X" Advertorials Get Your Brand Recommended by AI. *Nearly half of every AI answer about software, products, or services traces back to one content format: "Best X comparison listicles". In this session, Nico breaks down the strategy of placing sponsored "best X" articles on high-authority third-party publishers to systematically build brand presence in AI-generated recommendations. Whether you do this for clients or want to understand the emerging discipline of AI visibility, this talk gives you the framework and the data.* In May we will be welcoming Andrés Tapia as our next external speaker, to do some deepdives on related topics. We will be posting more about this soon, so stay tuned! Bring yourself, a good mood and any thoughts or questions you have on the subject. We look forward to seeing you there and hearing your thoughts!

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.

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).

🚀 Workshops: The Human-Digital Synthesis **Kultur\-Technik 2026 \| Women in Big Data Berlin** AI is no longer a future concept—it is already reshaping how we work, create, and make decisions. The real question is: **how do we use it intelligently?** *Kultur-Technik 2026:* *The Human–Digital Synthesis* draws from the European idea that technology is an extension of human culture.

**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.
