Hello Gophers, Welcome back for another year of Go talks and networking! Would your company like to host our meetup? Let us know! If you'd like to give a talk - submit your proposals here: http://goo.gl/forms/54YvJT223F All talk formats work: short talks (5-10 min) as well as regular length (25 min). If you have more ideas - talk to us at the Gophers slack: https://invite.slack.gobridge.org/ in the #berlin channel, and follow us on twitter: https://twitter.com/gdgberlingo **Speakers**: *Simon Schulte* is a Tech Lead with nearly a decade of experience building scalable backend systems across fast-paced product companies. With a background in business informatics and a passion for Golang, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps, he has spent his career solving complex engineering challenges. He is particularly excited about leveraging AI and LLM workflows to eliminate the tedious, repetitive work that slows developers down — think tech debt, boilerplate, and documentation — so engineers can spend their energy on what actually moves the needle. For Simon, AI isn't about replacing developers; it's about giving them back their time. *Daniel Peralta Madriz* is a backend engineer from Costa Rica with around 6 years of experience working with Golang, although, sadly, he's been spending most of his time lately working with Node.js :(. He is interested in distributed systems, scalability, and developer experience, and is currently experimenting with how to leverage LLMs to safely and autonomously execute repetitive tasks. *Michael Morgen* is a Platform/infra engineer by day, runtime and network optimizations by night. Join in person at: **Talon.One** Talon.One is the incentives engine behind 300 of the world’s most-loved brands, unifying loyalty and promotions on a single flexible platform.

In this talk, we’ll walk through how to design deterministic workflows around non-deterministic models using Go. From structured iteration loops to validation steps and guardrails, you’ll learn how to move beyond prompting and start engineering reliable LLM-powered systems 8:10 PM: Announcements and break Announcements, HR lost & found, open mic 8:30 PM: Talk 2: About Go Memory Allocator / Michael Morgen, Platform/infra engineer @ Mirantis A short talk about how Go gives memory to your program. We will look at the main allocator parts, why small allocations are usually fast, when Go asks the OS for more memory, and a couple of simple examples where this knowledge helps performance. 9:05 PM: Networking Networking over drinks and food *** Hosted By Natalie Pistunovich, Organizer Ole Bulbuk, Organizer Tim Scheuermann, Organizer Anderson Queiroz, Organizer Complete your event RSVP here: https://gdg.community.dev/events/details/google-gdg-berlin-golang-presents-hybrid-may-golang-meetup-1/.

Wednesdays 19:00-21:30, May 13-July 1 Class Show: July 8 [https://www.improvworksberlin.com/book-online](https://www.improvworksberlin.com/book-online) All the world's a stage: learn to make it yours! In this beginner's acting course, we introduce you to the tools needed to bring scripted theater to life. Working with a range of techniques, we aim to demystify acting and enable students to approach texts with a sense of wonder and play. Together, we’ll create a conscious, supportive space where we’ll focus on bringing our own experience and imagination to the text, making strong choices, and working together with our scene partners. We’ll empower each other with the “Freedom to Fail,” thereby unleashing our inner creativity. Over 8 classes, we’ll explore the principles of scripted acting primarily through two-person scene work. The concepts of presence, agreement, trust, commitment and support are fostered through large and small group exercises. By the end of the class, you’ll be well-prepared to perform short two-person scenes. You'll also have a ton of fun and make new friends! In the end-of-class show, you’ll get to show off all you’ve learned to an invited audience of family and friends. Prerequisites: None! Wednesdays 19:00-21:30, May 13-July 1 Class Show: July 8 Spots are limited in these small classes, so sign up soon!

Come along, grab a coffee, shut up, and write! We will do at least two sessions of each 45 minutes of writing and two breaks. We will start the first writing session at 10:15. For space reasons, we are limited to a certain number of attendees, so please update your RSVP if you can't come. We are typically by the large windows facing the U-Bahn entrance. If you are new, come and say hello, as we know that suddenly going quiet for 45 minutes and staring at that blank page can be intimidating when it's your first time. We have a lot of long-term regulars who will be happy to help you feel welcome. In between sessions, we have a Telegram chat: https://t.me/joinchat/ERW3pxD5kfELGeWs9SUhjw For more information, visit [https://shutupwrite.com](https://shutupwrite.com/).

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!
