## Wo & Wann? **JEDEN MONTAG** findet die offene Lesebühne des Autorenforums Berlin statt (außer an Feiertagen) **BEGINN**: 20:00 Uhr **ANMELDUNG zum Lesen: ab 19:30 Uhr** beim Moderator des Abends – siehe [Termine](http://autorenforum-berlin.de/wordpress/termine/); Die Teilnahme an der Veranstaltung ist kostenlos. **SCHWARTZSCHE VILLA** **Großer Salon** Direkt am S/U Rathaus Steglitz Grunewaldstr. 55 Der offene Leseabend stellt das Herzstück des Autorenforums e.V. dar. Er steht nicht nur Mitgliedern, sondern grundsätzlich jedem Autor und jeder Autorin offen, der gerne einen unveröffentlichten Text vor Publikum präsentieren möchte. Auch Kritik kann jedermann üben. Wer lieber zuhören möchte, kann einfach am Montagabend um 20.00 in der Schwartzschen Villa erscheinen. Für Lesewillige gilt die unten stehende ausführliche Information (mündliche Anmeldung ab 19:30 Uhr). *Unfortunately at the moment, it's only possible to present German texts. Unpublished texts that are already translated into German are highly welcome!* ## Was erwartet Sie? Im Großen Salon der Schwartzsche Villa treffen Sie auf einen Kreis von Literaturbegeisterten, die Ihrem Text eine ernsthafte und fundierte Kritik spenden. Das Publikum wechselt. Es ist gemischt, geeint durch das Interesse an Texten. Die Autorinnen und Autoren des Abends lesen aus ihren bislang unveröffentlichten Kurzgeschichten, lyrischen Texten, Erzählungen, Romanen, manchmal auch aus Theaterstücken. Die Autoren stellen nicht sich selbst, sondern ihre Texte der Kritik. Wir verstehen uns als Arbeitsbühne. Deshalb wird bei uns nach den Lesungen nicht geklatscht. Die Texte werden nach der Lesung des Autors auf handwerkliche Stärken und Schwächen „abgeklopft“. Es geht im Forum daher nicht um weltanschauliche Debatten. Im Idealfall hat der Autor/die Autorin nach einer Lesung und der Kritik verstanden, wo die Stärken und Schwächen seines Textes liegen, woran es seinem Text noch fehlt, was er ändern sollte und wo er bei seiner Überarbeitung ansetzen kann. Der Abend endet gegen 22.00. Im Anschluss können Sie mit den Autoren im Café der Schwartzschen Villa noch ins Gespräch kommen und manches aus dem Literaturbetrieb erfahren. Wir sind im Kontakt auch mit namhaften Vertretern desselben. Also – nicht gleich verschwinden! Dranbleiben. Reden Sie mit den Forumianern! ## Sie möchten selbst lesen? Wenn Sie selbst im Autorenforum lesen wollen, gibt es einige Dinge zu beachten. Wir bitten Sie sehr herzlich, sich mindestens einmal vor Ihrer ersten Lesung bei uns mit unseren Gegebenheiten vertraut zu machen. Ihren Lesewunsch können Sie dann ab 19.30 Uhr (Einlass) bei der Moderatorin oder dem Moderator eines Leseabends anmelden. **Wir weisen ausdrücklich daraufhin, dass über die Annahme und Reihenfolge der Lesungen die jeweiligen Moderatoren entscheiden und es NICHT zwingend nach der Reihenfolge der Anmeldungen geht!** In der Regel reicht die Zeit nur für drei Autoren je Abend und die Nachfrage ist oft recht hoch. Falls Sie einen lyrischen Text vortragen möchten, bringen Sie bitte mindestens 10 (zehn) Kopien mit, damit Ihr Publikum mitlesen kann. Die Kopien erhalten Sie selbstverständlich zurück. # Wie üben wir Textkritik? Nach der Idee von Maik Turni ## **Anschleichen** **Wie wirkt der Text auf mich?** (Keine Angst vor Adjektiven! ) **Was habe ich gehört?** (Zusammenfassung (Nacherzählung)) **Was blieb unverstanden** (akustisch oder logisch) ## **Unter der Lupe** **Was ist das für ein Text?** (Prosa: Genre? Lyrik: Welche Art lyrischer Text?) **Thema** (Welches Thema berührt der Text? Hat der Autor sein Thema im Griff? Ist es überzeugend/plausibel/gut recherchiert, vielleicht sogar zu faktenreich?) **Figuren** (Wie wirken die Figuren? Wer ist die Hauptfigur? Welches Problem hat die Hauptfigur?) **Perspektive** (Wie verhält sich die Erzählperspektive zum Thema / zu den Figuren?) **Sprache** (Welche Bilder sind stimmig / welche nicht? Was lässt sich zum Rhythmus sagen? Sind die Sätze syntaktisch und grammatikalisch korrekt?) **Dramaturgie** (Schafft der Text es, Spannung zu erzeugen? In welcher Reihenfolge werden die Dinge erzählt?) **Bedeutung** (Gelingt es dem Autor, die Bedeutung, die er seinem Text geben will, auch im Leser entstehen zu lassen?) ## **Klarspüler** Fragen werden an den Text gestellt, nicht an den Autor! Daher sollte der Text antworten. ## **Weichspüler** Wird bei uns nicht verwendet. Aber es gilt: Nicht der Autor wird kritisiert, sondern der Text! Hart zum Text, sanft zum Autor!

We make landladies and landlords. They buy a flat and pay just 1/4. Tenants and tax cuts pay 3/4. It's not a trick. It's government policy. Our Federal Governments, past and present, want taxpayers to become landlords and landladies, buy property, rent it out to tenants and enjoy passive income later. Come check this out. No strings attached. No sales. Just a meet and greet for orientation. And an after work drink. Wir machen Vermieter. Steuerzahler kaufen eine Wohnung und zahlen dafür nur 1/4. Mieter und Finanzamt zahlen 3/4. Das ist kein Trick. Das ist Politik: Alle Bundesregierungen wollen, dass Steuerzahler Wohnungen kaufen, Mieter reinnehmen und später Beton‑Rente bekommen.

Join us for an evening of Flutter, Dart, and networking hosted by CarOnSale. We'll kick things off with a deep dive into one of Dart's newest language features, followed by a second session and plenty of time to connect with fellow developers from the Berlin Flutter community. **Schedule** **18:30 — Doors Open** Check in, grab a drink, and meet fellow Flutter developers from the Berlin community. **19:00 — Welcome Notes** A short introduction from Flutter Berlin and our hosts at CarOnSale. **Talk 1 — Hiding Complexity with Dart Extension Types — Roman** Extension types in Dart 3.3+ let you elegantly hide the real complexity behind clean abstractions. They enable powerful patterns for true compile-time singletons with strong privacy guarantees, while also letting you build robust zero-cost Value Objects that enforce domain invariants and create a clear ubiquitous language — all with zero runtime cost. **About Roman** Roman is a Google-awarded Flutter Developer and Staff Mobile Engineer at CarOnSale.de, where he has worked for 4 years as part of his 8 years of Flutter experience (and over a decade in design). He loves Dart as his primary language and Rust as a complementary one (along with TS/Swift), but believes strong programming fundamentals matter more than any specific syntax. In his role he mentors Flutter developers and shapes architecture solutions. Outside of work he prioritizes family and open-source. **Talk 2 — TBA** Our second session of the evening will be announced soon. **20:30 — Networking & Socialising** Meet fellow Flutter developers, exchange ideas, discuss the talks, and connect with the local community. **22:00 — Doors Close** We wrap up the evening and head home inspired with new ideas and connections.

Just before everyone disappears for the holidays, let's get together for one more Java meetup! This time we're joining forces with **Spring User Group**, and thanks to our friends at **JetBrains**, we'll be meeting at their office. We'll also have a raffle featuring **WeAreDevelopers World Congress** tickets and other prizes. \#\# 🎤 Alexei Zinoviev *Software Developer at JetBrains* ### **Kotlin and Spring Boot: From Messy Public Data to a Robust Application** Real applications rarely get clean input. Source pages change, fields are missing, text formats are inconsistent, parsers make assumptions, and external services such as geocoders can be slow, incomplete, or temporarily unavailable. In this talk, we will use a small Berlin-focused Spring Boot application written in Kotlin. It reads public demonstration data, parses semi-structured HTML, converts raw rows into a typed domain model, applies classification rules, geocodes locations where possible, and exposes the result through a Spring MVC API, an interactive map, and a timeline. The Kotlin part is not a rewrite pitch. Spring Boot stays the familiar foundation for controllers, services, scheduling, database access, and operational endpoints. Kotlin helps in the parts where enterprise code often becomes defensive and noisy: nullable input, parsing results, rejected rows, domain identifiers, explicit states, and readable transformation pipelines. A central part of the example is a small Kotlin DSL for rules. The classifier is not AI and not a black box: rules are written as type-safe Kotlin code, close to configuration, readable in the IDE, and able to explain why a certain operational risk score was assigned to an event or route. We will also look at what makes the application robust in practice: handling parser failures, conversion problems, missing coordinates, partial results, and unstable external services without turning every expected problem into a generic HTTP 500. \#\# 🎤 Dmitry Chuyko *Architect at BellSoft* \#\#\# From Kitchen to Table: A Safe Software Journey with SBOMs The EU's Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is turning Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) from a "nice to have" into a legal requirement for many software products. Managing your software supply chain is no longer optional—it's part of shipping software responsibly. Think of your containerized Java (and Spring) application as a dish served to production. Every ingredient matters, and someone will eventually ask what's inside. SBOMs are the ingredient lists that security scanners, auditors, and regulators rely on. In this practical session, we'll look at how Java and DevOps teams can make SBOMs part of their everyday workflow. We'll cover: * generating and managing SBOMs in CI/CD (GitHub Actions and GitLab CI) * verifying pre-built container images * enforcing supply-chain policies in Kubernetes with OPA and Ratify * navigating SPDX vs. CycloneDX * integrating SBOMs into existing toolchains without unnecessary complexity Rather than treating SBOMs as compliance paperwork, you'll learn how to use them as actionable security artifacts that improve visibility, strengthen your software supply chain, and help meet regulatory requirements. \#\# Schedule **18:00** – Doors open **18:30** – Alexei Zinoviev **19:00** – Networking break **19:30** – Dmitry Chuyko — *From Kitchen to Table: A Safe Software Journey with SBOMs* **20:30** – Networking, refreshments, and the **WeAreDevelopers World Congress** ticket raffle
