Women Programmers

**Happy New Year** and **May 2026 be the BEST Year of your life up to now**. Wikipedia is One of the Greatest Innovations of the 2000s. Some of us are Big Wikipedia Fans and have created pages there, edited, added fotos. We want to support the event of the local Berlin FLINTA-editing group dedicated to ladies that want to start / edit wikipedia pages, https://www.meetup.com/wikibaer-%ef%b8%8foffener-wikipedia-abend/events/312549626/. **Veranstaltung auf Deutsch.** **JOIN THEM !!** Copy pasted von deren event: **Wissen verändert die Welt. Mach Mit!** Wir treffen uns alle zwei Wochen zum lockeren Austausch und gemeinsamen Arbeiten. Im Wechsel am 1. Mittwoch des Monats in der Geschäftsstelle von Wikimedia Deutschland und am 3. Mittwoch des Monats in unserem Communityraum in der Köpenicker Straße in Berlin-Mitte. Interessierte Frauen\* sind herzlich eingeladen, uns zu besuchen und mehr über das Schreiben und die Regeln in Wikipedia herauszufinden. Erfahre bei unserer Veranstaltung, wie Wikipedia und ihre Schwesterprojekte funktionieren, lerne wie du selbst mitschreiben kannst und finde heraus, welche Artikel zu deinen Lieblingsthemen noch fehlen.

**This is 100% non-profit. The 15€ sign up fee for everyone is only to minimize last-minute cancellations. The total sum goes to a bar-tap that everyone can use to order drinks until the amount is used up. ‼️NO REFUNDS‼️** **‼️Please don't just show up without RSVPing here and paying the 15€. We have a separate room that has limited capacity and a specific drinks agreement with the bar - so splitting up the bill won't become a mess.‼️** **Small update on how your money get's used from May 2024 onwards:** As of this month, meetup.com has started charging me 34€ instead of 16€ per month. I've decided to distribute this fee evenly among all us participants every month. Example: In the last 12 meetups, the average number of attendees was 17. With 17 attendees I would effectively collect 230€ (after fees). I would now substract 34€ leaving us with 196€ that go to the bar. 15% get's tipped to the wait staff, in this case 30€, leaving us with 166€ effectively to order drinks. Hope everyone is cool with this system. :) Website: https://www.pberg-engineers.me WhatsApp groups: Please come and join us on WhatsApp! \- "PBerg Engineers \- NEWS" \- Only organizers can post announcements or polls \-\> https://chat\.whatsapp\.com/EqMJMmlCZO6LOOfAoG4yTj \- "PBerg Engineers \- DISCUSS" \- Everyone can post \-\> https://chat\.whatsapp\.com/LPuo76J83gF6IZMLUcM4u2 Please join those groups now if you're interested. :) All skill/education-levels welcome! :) Lightning Talks: \- TBD We'll also have a brief "Jobs: Lost & Found section". **Location:** From the street you will have to enter the right hand Cafe Chagall (yes, there are 2).

Hallo, Lina hat den feministischen Stammtisch gegründet, um sich mindestens ein Mal im Monat zu treffen – zum Austausch und Beschweren über das Patriarchat ;) ebenso wie zum Zusammenkommen und Zusammentun. Wir möchten einen Raum schaffen, in dem sich insbesondere Frauen\*, FINTA und BIPoc wohl und willkommen fühlen. Das Treffen ist für alle, die sich mit Feminismus beschäftigen wollen, aber z.B. nicht zum Lesen kommen. Ihr müsst also nichts vorbereiten, lesen oder mitbringen – nur die Lust auf Austausch zu feministischen Themen! Es gibt für die Treffen keine Tagesordnung oder so, wir schauen einfach gemeinsam was sich ergibt. Wir freuen uns auf dich und sind sehr gespannt, was sich entwickelt.

Kuscheln für Frauen darf echt sein. Leicht. Tief. Bewegend. Hier darf Frau kichern, Nähe spüren und Kraft tanken. Es entsteht eine Verbindung, die nährt – achtsam, klar und wohltuend. Kuscheln kann vieles sein: spielerisch, ruhig, tief, warm oder einfach nur entspannend. Finde heraus, was dir gut tut. Wir – Ava & Melanie – begleiten dich durch deine Kuschelerfahrung in Berlin. Als ausgebildete Therapeutinnen mit einer tiefen Liebe für Körperarbeit, Verbindung und Präsenz schaffen wir Räume, in denen du dir selbst und anderen echt begegnen kannst – spielerisch, liebevoll, nährend. Unsere Kuschelevents sind geprägt von Achtsamkeit, Klarheit und innerem Einvernehmen. Hier darf Frau lachen, kuscheln – und einfach sie selbst sein. Wir glauben, dass Berührung ein menschliches Grundbedürfnis ist – kein Luxus. Deshalb gestalten wir Räume, in denen du dich entspannen, auftanken und dich frei entscheiden kannst, wie nah du wem sein möchtest. Kuscheln ist immer freiwillig, respektvoll und im Einklang mit den vereinbarten Regeln. Unser Wunsch ist es, dir einen sicheren und achtsamen Raum zu eröffnen und zu halten, in dem du in respektvoller Atmosphäre Nähe, Berührung und Entspannung erleben kannst – ganz ohne Leistungsdruck oder sexuelle Absicht. Lachen, Weinen und Stille sind hier gleichermaßen willkommen. **ABLAUF** Wir starten mit einem gemeinsamen Ankommen, leiten dich durch Übungen zur Wahrnehmung und zur Einvernehmlichkeit von Berührung, bevor wir in die freie Kuschelzeit übergehen – je nach Wunsch in Gruppen, zu zweit oder in Ruhe für dich allein. **ORT** Berlin Weißensee Der genaue Ort wird dir nach Anmeldung bekannt gegeben. **DATUM und ZEIT** 10.01.2026 17:00 – 20:00 Uhr (Einlass ab 16:35 Uhr, bitte sei pünktlich, nach 17 Uhr bleiben die Türen geschlossen.) **PREIS** Unsere Kuschelzeit bieten wir zum Preis von 35–45 Euro nach Selbsteinschätzung an. Du bezahlst bitte passend vor Ort in bar. **ANMELDUNG** Deine Anmeldung für die Veranstaltung ist notwendig, da wir nur über eine begrenzte Anzahl von Plätzen verfügen. Schreib uns eine Mail und melde dich gern an. Mit unserer Zusage ist deine Anmeldung verbindlich.\* Mail: [[kuscheln.fuer.frauen@gmx.de](http://kuscheln.fuer.frauen@gmx.de/)]([mailto:kuscheln.fuer.frauen@gmx.de](http://mailto:kuscheln.fuer.frauen@gmx.de/)) \*Du kannst bis 24 Stunden vor Beginn kostenfrei stornieren. Danach wird die volle Teilnahmegebühr fällig, da wir den Platz nicht mehr anderweitig vergeben können. **WICHTIGES** * Für Frauen – auch für Neueinsteigerinnen geeignet. * Die Kuschelparty findet ab 5 Teilnehmerinnen statt. Zu deiner Orientierung, die TN Zahl liegt zw. 8 und 15 Personen. * Solltest Du in Therapie sein, bitte stimme deine Teilnahme vorab ab.

We're gonna have another Game Creators Hangout! The Hangout is a place where those who create games or are interested in it meet up and talk about whatever they like. Its a place for the community, but also to connect people from different communities. It does not matter whether you're a veteran game dev, just started school or just dabble in creating games in your free time - all of you are welcome here. Accessibility: There is a small step at the entrance. Seating is available inside as well as outside. Some tables are only accessible via a few steps. For this evening, the bar is smoke free, but usually it is a smoker bar. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-German\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Es ist Zeit für einen Game Creators Hangout! Der Hangout ist ein Ort, an dem sich diejenigen, die Spiele machen oder daran interessiert sind, treffen und über alles sprechen, was sie möchten. Es ist ein Ort für die Community, aber es geht auch darum, Menschen aus verschiedenen Communities zu vernetzen. Es spielt keine Rolle, ob du ein\*e erfahrene Spieleentwickler\*Inn bist, gerade die Schule angefangen hast oder nur in deiner Freizeit gerne Spiele erstellst - alle sind hier willkommen. Barrierefreiheit: Am Eingang der Bar befindet sich eine kleine Stufe. Es gibt Sitzmöglichkeiten drinnen und draussen. Einige der Tische und Stühle sind nur über 2 Treppenstufen erreichbar. Die bar ist an diesem Abend rauchfrei, aber normalerweise eine Raucherbar.

Coming in January 2026: a warm, reflective gathering to close one chapter and open another. More details coming soon. Together, we look back at the moments, shifts, and practices that shaped the past year—what worked, what surprised us, and what we’re ready to release. Then we lean forward into who we want to become: the intentions, experiments, and stories we want next January’s version of ourselves to be telling. A gentle, inspiring circle that invites clarity, connection, and shared wisdom.Check us out on Meetup to learn more and rsvp #womeninagilecolumbus #womeninagile

**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** GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus. In this session, we’ll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. We’ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks. Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday. **YouTube Link** TBA

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
