This will be the first meetup of the group. A relaxed evening for people interested in bug bounty hunting, web security, AppSec and vulnerability research. The main goal is to meet like-minded people, talk about bugs, tools, targets, methodology, reports, interesting findings and whatever else comes up around security research. Since it is the first event, we can also spend a bit of time discussing how future meetups should be structured: casual chats, hacking sessions, short talks, tool sharing, report discussions or presentations. As soon as at least **3 people join**, I will look for a suitable location. The first meetup will probably be in a **café, bar or restaurant**. If there is enough interest in presentations, I can also look into booking a room with a **TV or projector** for future events. No preparation needed. Please keep everything legal and authorized.

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 11:15. **For space reasons, we are limited to a certain number of attendees, so please update your RSVP if you can't come**. We often have a large waiting list, and not updating your RSVP or not showing up if you do RSVP yes means that others miss out. We also ask that if you do change your RSVP, do it with reasonable notice. Thanks! We typically take over all of the cafe, but try to share tables if you can to allow space for other customers. 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/).

# SUPERDATE ## Die Dating-Auktion für außergewöhnliche Dates ✨ Kein Swipen. Keine peinlichen Speeddating-Runden. Keine oberflächlichen „Hi, wie geht’s?“-Gespräche. SUPERDATE ist ein neues interaktives Dating-Event in Berlin für Menschen, die Lust auf echte Begegnungen, gute Gespräche und einen besonderen Sommerabend haben. An diesem Abend geht es nicht nur darum, jemanden kennenzulernen. Es geht darum, wieder neugierig auf Begegnungen zu werden. ## Worum geht es? Bei SUPERDATE bringen Männer ihre kreativsten, romantischsten, lustigsten oder außergewöhnlichsten Ideen für ein erstes Date mit. Zum Beispiel: * Frühstück im Riesenrad * Bootstour mit Sonnenuntergang * Picknick mit Überraschung * Spaziergang am Wasser mit anschließendem Lieblingsessen * ein kleines Abenteuer in der Stadt Die Dates dürfen das Budget von 500 € nicht übersteigen. Das macht es einfacher die Dates miteinander zu vergleichen. Die Frauen haben 1000 fiktive Punkte und vergeben an diesem Abend 250 Punkte für die Superdate-Ideen, noch bevor sie wissen, welcher Mann hinter welchem Date steckt. Denn manchmal verliebt man sich zuerst in eine Idee. In ein Gefühl. In ein mögliches Abenteuer. ## So läuft der Abend ab Du kommst an, bekommst einen Begrüßungsdrink, ein Namensschild und etwas zum Notieren. Dann beginnt der moderierte Teil des Abends. Auf der Bühne werden die Superdate-Ideen vorgestellt, zunächst anonym. Die Frauen bekommen fiktive Punkte und entscheiden, welche Date-Ideen sie besonders neugierig machen. Erst danach wird aufgelöst, welcher Mann hinter welchem Superdate steckt. Die restlichen 750 Punkte werden vergeben sobald alle Männer von der Bühne gegangen sind. Gibt es mehr als 1 Kandidatin, darf der Mann eine qualifizierte Frage stellen und mit max. 2 Damen im Anschluss ins Gespräch gehen. Nach spätestens 30 Minuten wird bekannt gegeben, welche Paar die Superdates miteinander erleben werden. Im Anschluss gibt es Zeit zum Kennenlernen, Reden, Lachen, Flirten und Herausfinden, ob aus einer guten Idee vielleicht ein echtes Date werden könnte. ## Euch erwartet 🍸 Begrüßungsdrink 🎭 Bühne & Moderation ✨ spannende Superdate-Ideen 📝 Punktevergabe & Voting 👀 Live-Reveal der Männer 🌙 lockeres Kennenlernen danach 🍹 kleine Bar vor Ort 🎶 entspannte Sommerabend-Atmosphäre ## Für wen ist das Event? Für offene, humorvolle und neugierige Menschen, die Lust auf etwas Neues haben. Dieses Event ist für dich, wenn du: * Dating-Apps anstrengend findest * echte Begegnungen vermisst * Lust auf einen besonderen Abend hast * gerne neue Menschen kennenlernst * Humor, Kreativität und Persönlichkeit attraktiv findest * offen bist für ein Datingformat mit Show-Charakter * Nicht passend ist das Event für Menschen, die respektlos auftreten, nur schnelle Kontakte suchen oder keinen Spaß an einem spielerischen Format haben. ## Für Frauen Du darfst an diesem Abend einfach neugierig sein. Du entscheidest, welche Date-Ideen dich interessieren, bevor du weißt, welcher Mann dahintersteht. Dadurch geht es nicht sofort um Aussehen, Status oder perfekte Profilbilder, sondern um Fantasie, Persönlichkeit und das Gefühl: „Darauf hätte ich Lust.“ ## Für Männer Männer können sich mit einer eigenen Superdate-Idee bewerben (bitte sende dafür deinen Date-Pitch an info@jga-service.com). Es geht nicht darum, perfekt zu sein. Es geht darum, zu zeigen, wer du bist und wie sich ein erstes Date mit dir anfühlen könnte. Dein Superdate darf romantisch, witzig, kreativ, entspannt, sportlich, kulturell oder komplett überraschend sein. Hauptsache, es passt zu dir. ## Location Kleingartenverein Silberlinde mit 80er Jahre Charme, in der Baumschulenstraße 61, Berlin. Wir werden versuchen, den Weg einwenig zu beleuchten, damit ihr gut ankommt. Die Location hat eine Bühne, eine kleine Bar und sommerliche Gartenatmosphäre. ## Datum Samstag, 4. Juli ## Dresscode Summer Chic / Date Night 🌙 Du musst nicht overdressed kommen. Aber komm so, dass du dich wohlfühlst und Lust auf einen besonderen Abend hast. ## Tickets & Teilnahme Die Plätze sind begrenzt, damit der Abend persönlich, angenehm und übersichtlich bleibt. Frauen: Die ersten 10 Frauen zahlen ein Early Bird Ticket von 10 €, danach 15 € Männer: Bewerbung erforderlich, 25 €. Weitere Informationen zur Teilnahme und Bezahlung folgen nach Anmeldung. Publikum und Gäste sind herzlich willkommen und bezahlen keinen Eintritt. ## Wichtig SUPERDATE ist ein Pilotabend. Das bedeutet: Wir testen dieses neue Format zum ersten Mal in Berlin. Der Abend soll hochwertig, herzlich, respektvoll und unterhaltsam werden. Feedback ist willkommen, gute Energie auch. Bitte komm nur, wenn du wirklich Lust hast, dich auf das Konzept einzulassen und anderen Menschen offen und wertschätzend zu begegnen. Sei dir darüber im Klaren, dass bei dem Event Videos und Fotos gemacht werden und diese dann auf Social Media landen werden. Du stimmst mit deiner Teilnahme zu, dass du einverstanden bist. Bei Fragen schreib uns eine E-Mail an info@jga-service.com. ## Kurz gesagt 1000 Punkte. Ein Abend. Außergewöhnliche Dates. Echte Begegnungen. Und vielleicht der Beginn einer richtig guten Geschichte. Wer bekommt dein Ja? ✨

​**Founders Running Club** (FRC) brings founders, investors, tech, creative people and startup enthusiasts together for weekly easy runs and networking. ​Every Saturday morning we gather together and run through Tiergarten. Join us in one of these 3 routes: ​\* **5K** – for new & beginner runners ​\* **7K** – for regular runners ​\* **11K** – for more experienced runners **OBS**: We are usually around 30 people, between regulars and newcomers (from here and from Luma), so don't be scared if there are not a lot of people confirmed on the event here. The pace is chill and conversational, around **6:30**. On the 7k and 11k some people like to push a bit more, but no one gets left behind. We finish with a nice coffee and amazing conversations. The vibe is always great. Pets, friends, family, are welcome. More about **FRC**: ​🗓️ Launched in San Francisco, July 16, 2022 🌍 Now in 50+ cities 📅 Running + Networking events + Community ​**Join the community** [http://foundersrc.com/chats](http://foundersrc.com/chats?utm_source=luma) Berlin Instagram [http://instagram.com/frcberlin](http://instagram.com/frcberlin?utm_source=luma) ​ **Global FRC**: Instagram [http://instagram.com/foundersrc/](http://instagram.com/foundersrc/?utm_source=luma) LinkedIn [http://linkedin.com/company/foundersrc/](http://linkedin.com/company/foundersrc/?utm_source=luma) Strava [http://strava.com/clubs/foundersRC](http://strava.com/clubs/foundersRC?utm_source=luma) Website [http://foundersrc.com/](http://foundersrc.com/?utm_source=luma)

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!

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you were quoted in *Truth in Comedy*, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**! The idea behind improvised comedy is to create entire scenes from scratch. A suggestion is taken from the audience and laughter is built on the spot. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway, Make Some Noise,* or *Wild 'n Out*; it can also be done in a longer way, to tell a complicated story, like *TJ & Dave*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and FREE!) weekly comedy event, brings the games for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Afterward, many members will hang out in *Gresso's* itself and get to know each other. Not only is this a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, your public speaking, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and build relationships that will last a lifetime, and you do that while laughing your butt off! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "*Yes, And*" that you'll have a blast!

Highlights and Hidden Gems in SQL Server 2025 With so much emphasis on cloud data platforms and AI these days, SQL people can feel left behind by all the marketing hype. SQL Server 2025 was officially released in November of 2025, though, and contains a ton of improvements that will make our SQL Server deployments a bit faster, better, and more secure. There are even more improvements tucked into the release that never made a marketing blog or press release that you'll likely be learning about for the first time in this session! Join this session to learn about what makes your high availability a little more available, your performance a bit more performant, and your database more developer and app-friendly. Come spend an hour with SQL people talking SQL Server 2025 – the good, the "not quite ready for prime time", and the hidden awesomeness.

Come join us for lunch together at Bendi Wok, one of my favorites!

Evolve exists to provide a welcoming place for professional women to create an authentic community, deeper connections, and confident growth through networking and workshop events. No cliques, no judgement. **Shades of Sisterhood** is a space for women to grow from the inside out through meaningful conversations, personal development, mindset growth, and courageous self-awareness. These gatherings are designed to create deeper connection, expand perspective, and encourage women to become healthier, stronger, and more aligned versions of themselves — both personally and professionally. Through honest dialogue, shared experiences, and intentional conversations around identity, leadership, confidence, relationships, emotional resilience, and growth, women are invited into a supportive environment where they can learn, reflect, heal, and evolve together. This is not about perfection, hustle culture, or surface-level positivity. It is about creating a safe space for women to have real conversations, challenge limiting beliefs, grow in self-awareness, and step more confidently into who they were created to become. At its core, Shades of Sisterhood exists to remind women that growth starts within — and no woman has to navigate that journey alone. Guests are always welcome. We'd love to meet you! **[Click here to join the call!](https://zoom.us/j/7894682064)** \*\*Evolve Women's Network is a membership based networking group.
