Hosted by Deutsche Bank's Berlin Technology Centre in collaboration with JUG Berlin-Brandenburg and JCON, this hands-on event combines live demos, practical exercises, and community discussion to help you build software more effectively with AI. Bring your laptop and join us for an evening of learning, coding, and collaboration. **Agenda of the evening:** * **18:00 Doors open** * **18:30 — Welcome and introduction to GitHub Copilot** Key features, practical examples, and an overview of agent-driven development. * **19:00 — Hands-on workshops in small groups** * Planned workshop options include: o **GitHub Copilot App Workshop:** explore agent-driven development, from picking up issues and running agents to reviewing changes and merging pull requests. o **Agent Lab — Java:** build a Social Bingo application with Java and Spring Boot using GitHub Copilot’s Agent Mode in VS Code. o **App Modernization:** use GitHub Copilot to modernise a legacy Java application, including upgrading from Java 8 to 21, adding health endpoints, and containerising the application. * **20:00 — Networking, food & drinks** **Before the meetup:** Please bring your laptop to the workshop. You will need a GitHub account; if you do not have a GitHub Copilot licence, please have a personal GitHub account ready for workshop access. ### About Berlin Technology Centre: Deutsche Bank's Berlin Technology Centre is one of the bank's key global technology hubs.

Pipelines, Privacy & the Collector Fleet: Real-Time Data Done Right
Thu, Oct 15, 4:00 PMJoin us for an evening with two talks, one theme: data flowing at scale — and handling it responsibly. From architecting your OpenTelemetry Collector fleet across edge-to-gateway topologies, to protecting PII in real-time Kafka pipelines — practical patterns, live demos, and a few privacy war stories along the way. Food and drinks on us — stick around after for networking. ✍️ RSVP soon — capacity is limited! 📅 **Date and Time** Thursday, October 15, 2026 from 18:00-20:45 📍 **Location** [EBCONT office, beyond Quartier Heidestrasse, 34, 10557 Berlin](https://maps.app.goo.gl/aQGPgteqhQ2yrmx96) 📝 **Agenda** 18:00 – Doors open, arrivals and check-in 18:20 – Welcome note by EBCONT 18:30 – **Keeping data private in real-time pipelines** by [Olena Kutsenko](https://www.linkedin.com/in/olenakutsenko/), Confluent *Real-time data — clicks, payments, messages — is full of personal information we're not supposed to leak. The challenge: how do we keep streaming data useful and safe at the same time?* *We'll explore practical privacy protection patterns in streaming systems using Kafka, Flink, and Iceberg — from masking and tokenizing PII, to why "anonymous" data often isn't, to techniques like k-anonymity and noise injection. With real-world deanonymization stories and live demos included.* 19:00 – Q&A & quick break 19:15 – **From Edge to Gateway: architecting your OpenTelemetry Collector deployment** by [Marcin "Perk" Stożek](https://www.linkedin.com/in/perk-marcin-stozek/), Elastic *As OpenTelemetry adoption scales, the Collector becomes your observability backbone — but deploying it effectively means knowing what to run and where.* *We'll cover the full Collector fleet lifecycle: demystifying binaries (standard, EDOT, and custom OCB builds), mapping deployment topologies from edge agents to centralized gateways, and tackling fleet management at scale — from static configs to dynamic orchestration with OpAMP.* 19:45 – Pizza, drinks & networking \*\*\* Invite your friends and join us for an evening of learning and networking with fellow engineers and speakers!

Diese Meditation unterstützt uns, die Quelle echter Gutherzigkeit in uns zu öffnen. Wir lernen, uns selbst auf gesunde, heilsame Weise zu lieben und so unsere Haltung anderen gegenüber zu verwandeln. Die Meditation der liebenden Güte kann uns dabei helfen, uns und anderen liebevoller und mitfühlender zu begegnen. Das Event findet sowohl online als auch vor Ort im Dharma Mati Berlin (Soorstr. 85, 14050 Berlin) statt.

TIN* Embodied Practices
Fri, Oct 9, 5:00 PM**TIN\* Embodied Practices** mit Lux für **TIN\* (trans\*, inter\*, nicht-binäre, gender und genderqueere Personen)\*** Kostenlos mit **[Anmeldung](https://wearevillage.org/shop/tin-embodied-practices/w41-2026/)** **Ein somatischer Bewegungsraum für TIN\*-Körper (trans\*, inter\*, nicht-binäre, agender und genderqueere Personen)**. Inspiriert von Body-Mind Centering®, der Atemarbeit nach Ilse Middendorf, Authentic Movement und Feldenkrais verbinden die Sessions angeleitete Bewegung, Berührung, Improvisation und Reflexion. Auf Basis von Konsens, Autonomie und Care stärkt die Praxis Körperwahrnehmung, Selbstbestimmung und Resilienz in einer unterstützenden Gemeinschaft. Jede Sitzung beginnt mit einer geführten somatischen Bewegungsübung, die sich auf die Entwicklung anatomischer Werkzeuge zur Selbstbeobachtung konzentriert. Wir arbeiten mit den fünf Hauptlinien (Arme, Beine, Wirbelsäule), den vier Ecken des Rumpfes (Schultern und Hüften), den drei Hauptgewichtspunkten (Kopf, Brustkorb, Becken) und den beiden Seiten des Körpers. Diese Prinzipien unterstützen die Teilnehmer dabei, sich innerhalb ihrer eigenen körperlichen Architektur zu orientieren und ein verkörpertes Bewusstsein zu entwickeln. Auf dieser Grundlage erweitert sich die Praxis zu gemeinschaftlichen Bewegungen und gemeinsamer räumlicher Gestaltung, einschließlich Zeit für Integration und Reflexion. Bewegung wird als relationale, politische und räumliche Praxis an sich betrachtet. *\*\* Diese Veranstaltung ist Teil unseres Programms ‘**queere generationen**‘, unterstützt von der* ***[Berliner Lotto Stifttung](https://www.lotto-stiftung-berlin.de/)****.* *Erfahre mehr über das Programm* ***[hier](https://wearevillage.org/queer-generations)****.* 🔵 **TIN\* Embodied Practices** with Lux for **TIN\* (Trans\*, Inter\*, Non-binary, agender and genderqueer people)** **[Free event with registration](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/tin-embodied-practices/w41-2026)** **A somatic movement space dedicated to TIN\* bodies (Trans\*, Inter\*, Non-binary, agender and genderqueer people).** Drawing from Body-Mind Centering®, breathwork after Ilse Middendorf, Authentic Movement and Feldenkrais, the sessions combine guided movement, touch-based exploration, improvisation and reflection. Grounded in consent, autonomy and care, the practice supports embodied awareness, bodily autonomy and resilience within a supportive community. Each session begins with a guided somatic movement practice focused on developing anatomical tools for self-observation. We work with the five cardinal lines (arms, legs, spine), the four corners of the trunk (shoulders and hips), the three primary weights (head, chest, pelvis), and the two sides of the body. These principles support participants in orienting within their own physical architecture and cultivating embodied awareness. From this foundation, the practice expands into communal movement and shared spatial authorship, including time for integration and reflection. Movement is framed as relational, political, and spatial practice in its own right. **General Information** To engage fully in the experience, participants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing. **Participants:** This workshop is intended for people who identify outside traditional cisgender definitions: Trans\*, Inter\*, Non-binary, including agender and genderqueer identities. **Registration:** This event has limited spots available. Registration via our website is required. **Language:** This event will be in English. **Cost:** The event is free of charge. *\*\* This event is part of the we are village program* ***[queer generations](https://wearevillage.org/en/queer-generations)*** *with the support of the* ***[Lotto Stiftung Berlin](https://www.lotto-stiftung-berlin.de/)***. *Learn more about the program* ***[here](https://wearevillage.org/en/queer-generations)****.*
