We make landladies and landlords. They buy a flat and pay just 1/4. 3/4 come from tax cuts and tenants. It's not a trick. It's government policy. All German Federal Governments, past and present, of whichever party, want taxpayers to become landlords and -ladies, buy property, rent it out to tenants and enjoy passive income later. Come here and find out. No strings attached. No sales. Just a meet and greet for orientation. Wir machen Vermieter. Steuerzahler kaufen eine Wohnung und zahlen dafür nur 1/4. Mieter und Finanzamt zahlen 3/4. Das ist kein Trick. Das ist Politik: Alle Bundesregierungen wollen, dass Steuerzahler Vermieter werden, Wohnungen kaufen, Mieter reinnehmen und später Beton‑Rente bekommen. Info-Abend nur zur Orientierung. Kucken kostet nichts. S,U Bahnhof Zoo, Kantstraße 163-165, 10623 Berlin, Motel One Upper West, 10th floor, turn left, circumvent the sign "vorübergehend geschlossen" Go justs there. I'll be there.

**Dear Community,** We’re excited to welcome you to the next **NoCode Collective Club Meetup in Berlin**. Join us for an evening of practical insights into how **AI, no-code, and low-code tools** are transforming how we build products. This is not a sales-driven event. It’s designed as a balanced mix of **community innovation** and **hands-on demos from industry leaders**. **📅 March 26, 2026** **⏰ 18:00 – 21:00** *(Networking until 22:00)* **📍 Web3 Hub, Berlin** **🍕 Pizza & Drinks provided** *** ## ✨ What to Expect **🎤 Expert Talks** \| Practical insights and live builds **⚡ Real Use Cases** \| AI agents\, automation\, analytics\, and low\-code platforms **📊 Live Demos** \| See the tools in action and try them yourself **🍹 Extended Networking** \| Connect with builders\, founders\, and operators *** ## 🧠 Topics & Speakers ### 🛠️ The Future of AI-Assisted App Building & AI Agents **Speaker: Akhilesh Balakrishnan (Zoho)** Directly from the Zoho team, Akhilesh will showcase the latest major updates in the low-code world in a demo-driven session: * **AI-Assisted App Building**: Build functional apps using natural language * **AI Agents**: Deploy intelligent assistants inside your workflow * **Live Interactive Demo**: Use a special signup link to follow along and test the features in real time *** ### ⚙️ Simplify Your Workflows with Agentic Skills **Speaker: Alexander Amin** Skills allow teams to turn expertise into reusable tools. Think of them as lightweight markdown-based building blocks that capture workflow knowledge and make it executable by an AI agent on demand. No SDK. No deployment. No boilerplate. Alexander will show how workflows can be turned into reusable “skills” that help teams automate recurring processes and scale execution without additional engineering overhead. *** ### 🤖 AI in E-Commerce: From Data to Beautiful Dashboards **Speaker: Matthias Siwy (MLC-Direct)** AI development are evolving rapidly, but the real leverage comes from combining them with existing company data. Matthias will share how teams use modern AI workflows and vibe-coding to move from raw data to working analytics interfaces in hours. *** ## 🍹 Networking & Logistics After the talks, stay for pizza and drinks. We have the space at the **Web3 Hub until 22:00**, giving everyone plenty of time to discuss the demos, share projects, and meet fellow innovators from the Berlin scene.

Some friends of PyData are organising the following event, and we think it would be great to share it with the community. Pixels2GenAI is an exhibition by software developers creating computer art. We have used equations, algorithms, and AI models to generate images and installations. The artists explore the space between hand-programmed images, the aesthetics of mathematical rules, and AI as an art-making tool. Works by the following artists will be on display: * Burak Kağan Yılmazer * Sara Maras * Alexander Hendorf * Hansu Kim * Maris Niewenhuis * Ewa Rother

TRAVEL WELL: People with superior communication abilities travel better. Fact. We make our own luck by communicating the best we can. Maybe I’m part idiot, but I believe in the innate decency of people, that people will be respectful, and that if someone does not update their RSVP and fails to attend it could be that they have had a serious accident and are in hospital. I suspect however, that many people are simply very inconsiderate, inconsiderate of the effort and time that go into organising gatherings. Communication begins the morning of the gathering, several hours before the gathering, and the method of communication is the democratic and securest messenger: Signal Messenger, which is also owned by a non-profit foundation, not by a billionaire. ENGLISH: Fantastic Berliners, on Thursday 26th of March we are visiting the Zeiss Major Planetarium for the Starry Hour at 6:30pm. https://www.planetarium.berlin/veranstaltungen/sternstunde You need to buy a ticket... https://planetarium-berlin.ticketfritz.de/Event/Detail?Event=11322 This Starry Hour is in German, as far as I’m aware. From experience I know that we need quite good German language skills to understand a Starry Hour. We are meeting from 5:30pm at the Zeiss Major Planetarium, Prenzlauer Allee 80, near S Prenzlauer Allee, where there is seating and possibly also a Café or Bar. Please read the comments to get the information about seating places. We can communicate through both the Signal Group and the Meetup Chat. You’ll find the link for the Signal Group in the comments. The question, “Does the Starry Hour have something to do with poetry? It doesn’t say anything about poetry...” was put to me. Well yes, poets often reference the stars, as far as I’m aware, which is a direction into astronomy, or even a gentle encouragement that we should keep our heads up and maintain our wellbeing. For example, the poet Philip Larkin in the poem ‘The North Ship’, in the first poem, tells with hwyl, “Under an fire-spilling star,”. For Poetry & Puls there is the context of the starry sky above us, as when we have no knowledge of astronomy we can’t read the poetry. Since we are interested in reading poetry, Starry Hours are good. Knowledge of the stars is also good for people on the move, and we like to often be on the move. To the Starry Hour, the conversation, and the comradery!! DEUTSCH: Großartige Berlinerinnen und Berliner, am Donnerstag 26. März besuchen wir Zeiss-Großplanetarium für die Sternstunde um 18:30. https://www.planetarium.berlin/veranstaltungen/sternstunde Man braucht eine Eintrittskarte... https://planetarium-berlin.ticketfritz.de/Event/Detail?Event=11322 Diese Sternstunde ist auf Deutsch, soweit ich weiß. Von Erlebnis weiß ich, dass man ziemlich gutes Deutsch haben muss, um eine Sternstunde zu verstehen. Wir begrüßen uns ab 17:30 Uhr bei Zeiss Groß Planetarium, Prenzlauer Allee 80, in der Nähe von S Prenzlauer Allee, wo es Sitzplätze und eventuell Café oder Lokal gibt.. Bitte liest den Kommentar um Infos über Sitzplätze zu bekommen. Wir können beides über die Signalgruppe und Meetup Chat kommunizieren. Ihr findet den Link zur Signalgruppe im Kommentar. Mir wurde die Frage gestellt „Hat die Sternstunde etwas mit Poetry zu tun? Da steht nichts von Poetry...“ Naja, Dichter nehmen oft Bezug auf die Sterne, glaube ich. Das ist eine Weisung in die Astronomie, halt einen Vorschlag, dass man den Kopf hochhalten und aufrechterhalten solle. Zum Beispiel, der Dichter Philip Larkin im Gedicht ‚The North Ship‘, im ersten Gedicht, erzählt „Under a fire-spilling star,“. Für Poetry gibt es die Umgebung von den Sternen, und wenn man keine Kenntnis von dieser Umgebung hat, kann man die Gedichte nicht ganz gut lesen. Denn wir uns für das Lesen von Gedichten interessieren, sind Sternstunden gut. Kenntnis von den Sternen sind auch gut wenn man unterwegs ist, und wir möchten oft unterwegs sein. Auf die Sternstunde, das Gespräch, und die Gesellschaft freuen wir uns!!

The Drinking wine in F'hain - event is back! Enjoy good company, meet old friends while having a good glas of wine. The winebar wein&gut offers different types of wine as well as nonalcoholic drinks.

During the evening we will offer different fingerfood for affordable price. The event starts at 6pm, but the winebar is already open. The event ends around 9pm. During the summer there will be extended opening hours. Next stations are Samariterstr or Frankfurter Allee. I am really looking forward to see you people again!

This is a **shuffle**/**cutting shapes** class for **beginner** and **intermediate** shufflers where we'll be learning a **choreo** and practise it to various speeds. **Beginner shufflers** will get the chance to learn some basic steps and practice them stress-free in a short choreo. **Intermediate shufflers** will learn to vary these basic steps with additional leg and arm movements, learn to combine them in new ways, keep practicing their foundations, and try to integrate the new combos into their freestyle. If you're a complete beginner and wanna try some basic moves by yourself before the class, you can watch this video on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xOAJA598uk But you don't have to - don't worry and come just by! **What you need to bring with you:** **Shoes**: If you'd prefer not to shuffle in socks, please bring a pair of dedicated clean athletic shoes with white soles. **Water**: because Shuffling is like an intense cardio workout :) **Fee**: 10€ (in cash or paypal **after** the event) to cover the cost of the rent, because we're not doing it for profit. Teacher: Ina P.S. You're welcome to join our Telegram group where we share choreos, combos, music, etc. https://t.me/joinchat/73TM5UceauA5YmQy P.P.S. Classes at Milastr. 4 take place every Friday! Two times a month they're done by me and two times - by Ella, who has a completely different teaching style. You're welcome to choose or learn with us both ☺️

A space for working on projects & learning new stuff together. 💻☕️ Please RSVP if you intend to join, as we have limited space. 😊

**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 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA

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.

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.

**First meetup of the Columbus AI Engineering group.** We’ll kick things off with a practical, beginner-friendly discussion on: **How LLMs like ChatGPT actually work — and how to build real applications with them.** We’ll cover: * what’s actually happening under the hood (at a high level) * why LLMs behave the way they do (hallucinations, prompt sensitivity, etc.) * how people are building real systems with them today * where things break in practice This will be a **short, informal talk (\~15–20 min)** followed by open discussion and Q&A. Whether you’re an engineer, builder, or just curious about how modern AI systems work, you’re welcome to join. No slides, no fluff — just real conversation about real systems. We’ll hang out afterward and get to know each other.
