Rust Berlin on location 🏳️🌈 - Edition 012
**Rust Berlin on location 🏳️🌈** is a new, informal in-person Rust meetup group in Berlin.
We are a interactive meetup format interested in mob coding, deep diving and problem solving together.
We build toy projects, share experiences, discuss technology and learn new cool stuff.
And you are welcome to join!
No matter if you are writing Rust production code every day, if you already contribute to Open Source projects or want to start doing so, if you use Rust in hobby projects or if you are just curious what the hype and buzz is all about, you are very welcome!
To coordinate and plan activities, please join our **[Rust Berlin on location 🏳️🌈](https://rust-berlin.zulipchat.com/join/gap4pdbz7xsquliiz7tgcyuk/)**[ Zulip chat](https://rust-berlin.zulipchat.com/join/gap4pdbz7xsquliiz7tgcyuk/)!
**Planned programme**
Being an informal meetup, we are open to anything between just meet and talk, explore nerd snipes and rabbit holes, mob code together, plan and build fun projects, tinker with electronics, and presentations with Q&A.
With the [introduction](https://berline.rs/2026/04/01/berlin-talks.html) of the new [Rust Berlin Talks](https://berline.rs/about#rust-berlin-talks) meetup series, **[Rust Berlin on location 🏳️🌈](https://berline.rs/about#rust-berlin-on-location)** strengthens its focus on social community experience, the exchange of knowledge, ideas and perspectives, and the joy of spontaneity.
This time, we will try a new interactive discussion format: Jonas will introduce the topic of *The Job Market and AI* with an impulse presentation, then open up a moderated discussion with all participants. Let’s see where this hot topic leads us!
If someone brings other cool stuff, questions or problems, then let us dedicate the second half of the meetup time to that!
Anyone is invited to bring their projects and questions, show something, ask something, or explore a topic together. The best conversations and deepest rabbit holes can emerge out of seemingly nowhere.
**Projected upcoming meetups**
We schedule regular meetups on Thursday evening every four weeks, using the slot between the Berlin Rust Hack and Learn online meetup (every two weeks), and the Rust Nuremberg online meetup (every four weeks).
19 March 2026 is our twelfth meeting. Our next projected meetings are going to occur on the following dates:
* 16 Apr 2026
* 14 May 2026 (tentative, public holiday)
* 11 Jun 2026
* 9 Jul 2026
* 6 Aug 2026
* 3 Sep 2026
**Location**
Our meetup location is the new shared office community space of Ferrous Systems, Slint and KDAB in Berlin Mitte, for up to 25 people.
We are expecting to use this space as our default location for the time being, with the IN-Berlin e.V. community space in Moabit as backup.
Regardless, as our group might eventually outgrow the locations' size limit, we are low-key looking for bigger locations. If you know a fitting location, then please let us know in our Signal group! Another workable way might be to split the meetup into smaller, interest-specific sub-groups instead.
As the no-show rate on Meetup.com is rather high, consider showing up even if you are on the waiting list. We can't promise that there is any space left, but usually there is. So give it a shot!
**Accessibility**
The location has an elevator and a wheelchair accessible bathroom. Please note that the bathroom is two floors down from the meetup space.
On our quest for a bigger location, we are going to pay special attention to accessibility.
**Community**
We aim to create a safe place for everyone and adhere to the [Berlin Code of Conduct](https://berlincodeofconduct.org/).
Inclusivity is very important to us. If you are curious about Rust, but unsure if you are welcome to join: Yes, yes you are. Please come to the meetup! If you have special needs, please get in contact, we will try to accommodate you as best we can.
We are part of [https://berline.rs/](https://berline.rs/) and like to hang out in the Berlin Rust Hack and Learn online meetup's [Matrix channel](https://matrix.to/#/!xycQxSjSAvEezkyztA:chat.berline.rs). You are very welcome to join!
Ceramic Jewellery Workshop
In this 2 hour workshop, you’ll create your own terrazzo jewelry – such as earrings, pendants, or small accessories. Using eco-friendly casting material, we’ll guide you through mixing colors, adding patterns, and shaping your unique design.
Perfect for anyone curious about DIY jewelry – no experience needed. You'll leave with your own handmade pieces and the skills to keep creating at home.

Produced by *The Acting Muscle*
The eminent and idealistic artist Mark Rothko, clashes with his young impressionable assistant Ken in an unflinching look at two people's very different perspectives on what makes life worth living and art worth making. As they grapple with their art and each other, we get a front row seat to a generational conflict for the ages. Whose opinion is valued? What can art accomplish and what value does it have in our lives? A play about the delicate balance between making art, making peace with yourself, and making your own way in the world.
*Recommended for audiences 13 and older. Contains strong language. Herbal cigarettes are smoked onstage.*

12MIN.ME | BERLIN | STARTUP #1.3 🚀
**🚨🚨🚨 ATTENTION: we moved to luma. please RVSP [HERE](https://luma.com/12min.me_Berlin)🚨🚨🚨**
# [12min.me](https://12min.me/) START UP is a brand new morning format for bold ideas and fresh perspectives
Berlin Startup Community, we’re launching something new.
Together with betahaus, we’re bringing the [12min.me](http://12min.me/) spirit into the morning.
[12min.me](http://12min.me/) STARTUP is a three-part breakfast series, embedded in the well-known betabreakfast format.
Instead of three speakers in one evening, we do things differently.
One morning. One speaker. One focused impulse.
12 minutes. One voice. Zero fluff.
Join us for the first edition of [12min.me](http://12min.me/) STARTUP, a compact morning session for founders, operators, creatives and everyone building things that matter.
**✔️ What to expect**
* One inspiring startup-related talk
* 12 minutes of sharp insight
* Curated exchange over breakfast
* The familiar [12min.me](http://12min.me/) energy, just earlier in the day#
🚀 **The formula stays the same**
* 12 minutes talk
* 12 minutes of Q&A
* 12 minutes of networking
The familiar [12min.me](http://12min.me/) energy, just earlier in the day
**🎤 Our speakers**
**Speaker 1 @March 5**
**[Jonathan Hegel](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-beisiegel) from [FW Systems](https://www.linkedin.com/company/frachtwerk/)**
Jonathan is the CEO of FW Systems, a specialized system house for open source solutions and IT services with a fixed-price model. After years in traditional IT, where he regularly had to work night shifts due to emergencies, he decided to do things better—for customers and for IT professionals. Today, he help SMEs transform their IT from a constant work in progress to a reliable infrastructure they can depend on.
**Jonathan\`s talk: "How we are completely rethinking system administration as a service for your company"**
Companies cannot possibly do everything themselves. So things like accounting, logistics, and IT are outsourced to external service providers. In the IT sector, system houses have been doing very well for themselves in recent decades! Every little thing is charged for, and if there are any errors, the customer is expected to open a ticket. We are rethinking this! We are applying the “as-a-service” concept from Airbnb, Uber, and Everstox to system administration and taking responsibility. Jonathan will show how this works in his talk.
**Speaker 2 @March 12**
**[Anne Biedermann](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anne-biedermann/), independent wealth partner for women**
Anne has extensive experience across venture capital, single-family-office & HNWI investing, and early-stage operations. She works with investors who are building, inheriting, or stewarding wealth on how to allocate capital with clarity — particularly where venture capital intersects with long-term wealth strategy. Anne also invests personally, giving her a practitioner’s perspective on capital allocation decisions.
**Anna\`s talk: "Not All Capital Is the Same: Decoding Investor Behavior"**
Founders often assume all investors evaluate risk, timelines, and returns the same way and that assumption is costly. This session breaks down how funds, family offices, and individual investors actually make decisions, where founder–investor misalignment typically begins, and how founders can better position themselves for the right kind of capital, not just any capital.
**Speaker 3 @March 19**
**[Immo Ait Stapelfeld](https://www.linkedin.com/in/immoaitstapelfeld/), Co-Founder & CEO at [913.ai](https://913.ai)**
**"From Legal Complexity to Practical AI. How We Help Regulated Industries Use AI Without Losing Control"**
This presentation tells the story of Immo’s transition from a trained lawyer working in mass proceedings to an entrepreneur building AI products for regulated industries. His legal background, combined with hands-on experience as a founder, shaped a pragmatic view on AI. not as a disruptive replacement, but as a controlled and compliant tool. At[ ](http://913.ai)[913.ai](https://913.ai), this perspective enables conservative organizations such as insurers to enter the AI era in a way that respects regulation, responsibility, and existing teams while still unlocking real efficiency gains.

Creative writing session
## ✍️ Week 2 – Creative Writing Session
*This event is part of The Creative Act Circle series.*
In a calm, focused atmosphere, we gather to write.
The location will be announced soon — most likely we will meet in a library, creating a quiet and inspiring environment for reflection.
You’re welcome to write about anything that feels alive for you — a personal theme, an open question, a piece for your blog, or something that has been waiting to be expressed. If you prefer structure, I will offer guided prompts to help you move gently from reflection into language.
Through writing and shared reflection, you may gain:
• Mental clarity
• Integration of recent insights
• A sense of inner completion
We don’t aim for conclusions. We aim for awareness.

I WRITE – A Silent Writing Club (Just You & Your Words)
Welcome to **I WRITE**, a gentle space for anyone who wants to write—quietly, freely, and without judgement.
We are a Berlin community of writers who gather together weekly to write, talk and recharge after a long week. Some of us journal, some write novels, some do academic writing, many people come without a project in mind and see where the inspiration flow takes them. This is a space to simply show up and write, a safe place to be yourself and to release all your layers onto the paper.
There’s no set topic, no feedback circle, and no pressure. Just warm people, a calm atmosphere, and time dedicated to yourself.
🗓️ **Agenda:**
* 14:30 - 15:00 **→** 30 min arriving, optional socialising (arrive early, meet other writers)
* 15:00 - 16:00 **→** 1 hour of silent writing (headphones welcome, focus encouraged)
* 16:00–16:30 **→** 30 mins break + optional chat or solo time (stay and chat or go celebrate the rest of your Saturday)
* 16:30–17:30 → 1 more hour of silent writing (for those staying)
* 17:30–18:00 → 30 mins of chat, and leaving
🎒 **Bring:**
* Something to write with (laptop, notebook, phone, typewriter… anything goes)
* Something to drink (there is no cafeteria, unfortunately)
* Your current project or a blank page
* Yourself, exactly as you are
**👉 Responsibility:**
* Our location is limited; thus, I am kindly asking you to RSVP only if you are willing to attend.
**📍Location:**
* We meet at **Heinrich Schulz Library in Charlottenburg**. In the library, go look for the Gruppenraum; I will be waiting for you there. Any trouble finding the room, I will come to meet you outside.
* 🚇 U7 **Richard-Wagner-Platz**
* 🚌 M45 Bus **U Richard-Wagner-Platz**
**About me:**
Hi, my name is Anastasia. I started this writing club back in May 2025. Since then, it has been hosted weekly at the Heinrich Schulz Library (who is kind enough to allow us to use this room for free). Over this time, I’ve been privileged to meet some of the most creative and kind minds in Berlin. And I would be happy if you joined us. Whether you're an experienced writer or just at the beginning of your journey, you're welcome. If you know how to hold a pen or how to type, there will always be a space for you.
Let's write together!

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**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.

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00pm on Wednesday, March 25 at Streetlight Guild.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
**SCHEDULE:**
6:45ish - Quick introductions
7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
8:00 - The End
**OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
**BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild!
**WHAT SHOULD I BRING?**
Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you!
**OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:**
* **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space!
* **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels.
* **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay!
* **PARKING:** There is free public parking at Streetlight Guild.

Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy.
In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected.
The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve.
I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
