Blind Date with a Book* Swap @ Anna Blume - special event (*not people dating)
You've seen them in the book shop. You've seen them in the library. You've seen them online.
**The Blind Date with a Book.**
Those shelves of wrapped books with little teasers written on them.
This is the book trend perfect for Valentine's, and perfect for a swapping group like us!
For this special event, please bring a wrapped book. On the front please write:
* the language of the book
* a few short bullet points about the book. Get as creative (or not) as you like, as long as it's a truthful description. I've seen fascinating paragraph versions and also one liners.
* For example: "You will love this book if you love -similar author / general genre / band-singer the book reminded you of / actor who played the lead in the film / etc-". Other examples include writing the first line of the book. Or your favorite line of the book.
Beside that, it's just similarly structured as the "classical" bookswap:
* We put the book(s) we brought down on the tables.
* Each book gets a post-it so people interested would write their names on.
* We browse and discuss the books with one another while sipping coffee or hot chocolate, or eating cake. THIS TIME try to avoid naming the book and author.
* We write our names down on any books we’d like to take home.
* At the end of the evening, negotiate any books that are contended and take a new-to-you book home!
I've mostly only seen the trend at book stores and Libraries and when I just Googled it, saw that a lot of people are totally tricking the wrapping out. Please don't bother going that far unless it would give you great pleasure.
We'll have some newspaper / paper bags on hand if you don't have any wrapping.
***NOTE - this is NOT a person dating event.***
We tried that once as a very optional part of the event and it wasn't fair to the three confused people who were looking for people and not books.
We know of at least one book swap marriage and several other book swap relationships so it happens organically without us pushing for it and making it all awkward :)
Similar to our pleasant swapping post-it format, our expectations below apply to this event as well.
We look forward to swapping with you!
GROUP EXPECTATIONS for PLEASANT SWAPPING
* Please bring a book! It's not that you bring one you take one, but do try your best to bring something.
* Books stay on the tables, open for sharing, until you are ready to leave so that everyone can have a look. We are notably not first come first serve. Please wait until you are leaving to bag the book.
* If two or more people want the only copy of a book, negotiate. Maybe one of you reads it first and then gives it to the others. Or perhaps they have found another book instead. Or leave it to fate and toss a coin. The best part: now you have found somebody whose taste you can really admire. In any case, please don't walk away with a book with several names on it without letting the others know.
These negotiations are fun and easy, so don't shy away from a book because there's already a name on it, and feel free to put your name on as many books as you find interesting. It's not that you bring one you take one; you may take as many as you can negotiate.
* Political discussions with consent: make sure the people you are talking to would like to have a political discussion with you.
* Please respect this space as first and foremost a community for connecting readers over their love of books and reading, stories, and narratives of all sorts. Please be respectful of tastes and opinions.
* If something is bothering you, please reach out to the organizers, and we'll do our best to resolve it.
* Lastly, don't expect your book back. It will find a new home. If you love it, let it go.
**Major LANGUAGES (and genres) of this meetup:** English, German, French, Spanish, Italian; Fiction, Non-Fiction, Serious Reading, Light Fun, “classics", Krimis, Booker winners, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Self-Help and more. You never know who can read what languages, and there's no accounting for taste.
We are a delightful and international group of readers.
We look forward to swapping with you!

**Description:**
Join Google Cloud Labs for an immersive, hands on workshop learning how to build and scale production-grade AI agents with Cloud Run and GPU support.
This is a hands-on program designed to take your AI applications from prototype to full-scale production. In the world of AI development, a great idea is just the beginning. The real challenge lies in transforming that initial spark into a secure, scalable, and robust application that can handle real-world demands.
Get ready to get your hands dirty! This is an interactive session, not a lecture. Through a series of live labs, you'll tackle real-world challenges, from securing your services to deploying advanced AI agents. You will leave with practical skills and the confidence to take your own AI projects to the next level.
**What You Will Learn:**
* **Deploy Secure, Production-Ready Services:** Master the essentials of securing your applications on Cloud Run. You will build and deploy a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and learn to implement authentication to ensure that only authorized clients and agents can interact with your service.
* **Build Intelligent Agents:** Dive into the Agent Development Kit (ADK) to construct an intelligent agent capable of understanding a goal and using tools to achieve it. You'll connect your agent to the secure MCP server you built, giving it the power to perform real-world tasks.
* **Containerize and Deploy:** Take your working agent and prepare it for a consistent, portable deployment. This is a crucial step for managing applications in a serverless environment.
* **Harness the Power of GPUs on Cloud Run**: Deploy your containerized agent to a Cloud Run instance and attach a GPU to accelerate your models. You will gain hands-on experience managing production configurations and testing a live, GPU-accelerated application.

Agentic AI Engineering Lab (Sprint #1) - Build a Production-Ready MCP Server
**Agentic AI Engineering Lab (Tech Event, Sprint #1)**
**\- Build a Production\-Ready MCP Server**
**Move from prompting to architecting**
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an emerging open standard for connecting AI apps/agents to real tools and data sources. This session is not a talk — it’s a hands-on lab where we build MCP servers that can be tested immediately with an MCP-capable client (e.g., Claude Desktop / your preferred agent setup).
**The Format**
We are planning a series of agentic ai tech meetings for deep building. This event may be attended alone or be seen as part / sprint of the event series with upcoming events building on top of what we build here.
This is a high-density micro-meetup limited to 6 seats. We prioritize builders: bring your laptop, ship code, and be ready to 'build and break' alongside other devs and engineers.
**Future Sessions building on top may focus on ...**
RAG systems, advanced MCP features, A2A, multi-agent workflows, production deployment Patterns or whatever we feel nice to build next.
(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.)
**What you'll build**
After a quick alignment on the technical scope, the floor is yours: build your solution using the stack and tools that fit your workflow. We provide the framework; you provide the execution.
By the end, you’ll have a working MCP server (Python or TypeScript) with at least one real tool/resource, tested end-to-end.
**Ideas: Choose one track (or bring own idea if it fits the scope)**
**For Beginners (Foundational)**
* Personal knowledge server (local files/notes)
* Weather / external API integration
* GitHub issues helper
**Intermediate**
* SQLite query interface
* Slack/Discord notification tool
* CSV/Excel analyzer
**Advanced**
* Multi-API aggregator (e.g., calendar + weather + tasks)
* Document processor (PDF/DOCX parsing)
* Lightweight system monitoring/control
**Schedule (Saturaday, 10:00 - 15:00 CET)**
* **10:00–10:30 — Foundations + Live Demo**
Quick run through general MCP architecture (hosts/clients/servers), core primitives (tools/resources/prompts), basic patterns in order to get everybody on the same page.
* **10:30–11:00 — Environment Sync**
We wanna make sure everyone can run a “Hello World” MCP server (Python or TypeScript).
* **11:00–12:45 — Build Sprint (Lab Time)**
Implement your server + first tool/resource. Pair-debugging encouraged.
* **12:45–13:00 — Break (Pizza/Snacks)**
* **13:00–13:30 — Test & Iterate**
Use MCP Inspector / your client to test, fix edge cases, tighten tool contracts.
* **13:30–15:00 — Demos + Technical Teardown**
Quick demos, what broke, what worked, and what we’ll harden in the next sprint.
**Prerequisites (Please Read)**
* You’re comfortable shipping small things in your preferred dev language and tools (e.g. Python, TypeScript/Node.js).
* **Bring your laptop** + basic dev setup (Git, package manager).
* Have access to an LLM client / API (Claude/OpenAI/etc.).
* This is a lab for engineers, not a tutorial. We solve architectural problems together, but you are the master of your own dev environment.
* **Mindset:** Build, Break & Iterate — broken code is welcome, passivity isn’t.
**Logistics**
* **Location:** Our private boardroom in the Grunewald area (near Martin-Luther Hospital). The exact address will be shared after RSVP.
* **Capacity:** 6 seats (first come, first served; deposit required)
**Commitment Deposit and No-Show / Late-Show**
This meetup is strictly non-profit. To respect everyone’s time and ensure all 6 seats are utilized by committed builders, a €15 deposit is required.
* **The Deal:** The deposit covers high-quality pizza, snacks, and drinks. Any surplus will be refunded to you via your original payment method after the event.
* **Punctuality is Key:** We start at **10:00 sharp** with the technical foundations (door open from 09:45). To protect the group’s focus, late arrivals or no-shows will not be eligible for a refund. Their deposit will be fully contributed to the community's pizza & snack fund.
* **Cancellations:** No refunds for cancellations within 24 hours of the start time.

Want to Truly Heal from Emotional Trauma?
Why are we unhappy? Where does emotional pain come from? Studies show that people who suffer from long-term emotional pain have painful experiences in their lives that were never fully resolved in their mind. In other words, there were issues in the past that were not completely dealt with. This can include abuse in childhood, breakups, divorce, death of a loved one, to name a few.
How do you know whether you have gotten over something painful? Here is an easy test: Do you still have attention on what had happened to you? For instance, do you still find yourself thinking about something painful that you went through? If you are, then you are not over it. In fact, in severe cases, people find themselves playing a "tape" in their mind over and over again.
So how do you heal from your past? How do you stop the "tape" playing in your mind? In this meeting, you will learn a technique to help you with that.

Lonnie Morgan will be presenting information about the DLT Library.
"The Python library `dlt` provides a powerful [REST API toolkit](https://dlthub.com/docs/dlt-ecosystem/verified-sources/rest_api/basic) to ingest data. Combined with our [LLM scaffolds](https://dlthub.com/workspace) and [MCP server](https://dlthub.com/docs/hub/features/mcp-server), you can build a custom connector for any of the 8k+ available sources in 10 minutes by following this guide. Building with LLMs is an iterative process. We will follow this general workflow and give practical tips for each step."
