Portrait Drawing on Sunday Afternoon

This group is for everyone who is interested in drawing portraits! For me, drawing has been a wonderful way to gain a new perspective on the world and the people within it. Whether you are just starting out or have been drawing for ages — all levels are welcome :) How it works: 1\. We meet at The Castle pub in Mitte and do short sittings of 15 minutes for each other\. The first sitting is divided into 3 warm\-up sketches\, 5 minutes each\. 2\. Before we start\, everybody writes their name on a blank card \(provided by the organizer\); these cards are then used to randomly pick the model every 15 minutes\. 3\. Usually we do 8 sittings\, with a 15\-minute break in the middle \(so after 4 sittings\, or 1 hour\)\. -> The participation is free, but it is expected that everybody orders something from the bar to support the lovely location. Get out your pencils and let's start! Please bring your own art supplies!

Soundness Check Circle | Mental Health Support

This group is judgment-free community for anyone seeking connection, support, and meaningful conversations around mental well-being. Whatever you're going through, or if you simply want to connect with like-minded people, you're welcome here! (The location is confusing if you route from google maps. Please note that it’s at Choriner Str. 12, 10119 Berlin. Do note the street and house number to reach ☑️ the bar next to it is always closed so please don’t get confused by it. we sit in the room in the back, if you arrive early, feel free to wait there.) What to expect in the circle: \- The first 45 minutes we can spend to get coffee and settle down \- On a volunteer basis\, each of the attendee will then get some time to share \- You can skip sharing\, there's no force on you to speak\, staying silent and listening is completely ok ///// ….. /////// Code of conduct: 📓 There are no requirements or expectations of any kind. Speaking is encouraged but not compulsory. All issues are legitimate and deserve attention. Everyone is entitled to share their experience, including yourself. Speak honestly and respectfully.

Scaling QA with Agentic AI : From Gatekeeper to Force Multiplier | Berlin Meetup

**Scaling QA with Agentic AI : From Gatekeeper to Force Multiplier \| Berlin Meetup** Development is getting faster. But QA cannot simply scale by hiring testers at the same rate as developers. So what happens when QA changes its role? At The Test Tribe’s 13th Berlin Meetup, Mofazzal Hossain will share how Cybus has evolved QA from a traditional gatekeeping function into an advisory and system-level quality function — and how agentic AI can help make that model scalable. Instead of asking AI to simply write tests, the approach encodes testing expertise into repo-based skills that are versioned with the code, reviewed through pull requests, and executed in CI. **Event Details** * Date: 7 October 2026 * Time: 06:00 PM – 08:00 PM CET * Venue: Room 121, Building 1, 2nd Floor, Kastanienallee 82, 10435 Berlin **Session – From Gatekeeper to Force Multiplier** **[Speaker: Mofazzal Hossain, QA Lead at Cybus](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mofazzal/)** The session explores how QA teams can scale their impact by changing where and how they apply their expertise. At Cybus, tickets are explicitly routed as dev-verified, advisory, or QA-owned. Developers verify their own features against a test plan shaped and reviewed by QA, while QA focuses its capacity on system-level, non-functional, and other areas where deeper quality expertise is needed. The next layer is agentic AI: encoding QA knowledge into reusable, version-controlled skills that can move from a Jira ticket to an executable test. You’ll see how this model works in practice, including the skills currently used in production and the limitations that still require human judgment. **How This Meetup Solves Your Problem** * QA is struggling to keep pace with development? Explore a model that scales QA expertise without simply scaling headcount. * QA is becoming a bottleneck? See how explicit ownership can help distribute verification across developers, advisory QA, and QA-owned testing. * AI-generated tests aren't enough? Explore how repo-based skills can turn testing expertise into reusable automation. * Worried about trusting AI agents? Understand why outputs remain drafts until reviewed and where agents can still produce confident but incorrect results. * Not sure what governance AI testing needs? Explore the considerations that should be addressed before rolling agentic workflows out. **Why Show Up on 7 October?** * Because development speed is increasing, and QA needs new ways to scale its impact. * Because “issues found by QA” may not be the most useful measure of a modern QA team's value. * Because you’ll see how QA expertise can become part of the codebase through repo-based AI skills. * Because advisory QA can shift the focus from testing everything to applying quality expertise where it matters most. * Because understanding the limits of agentic AI is just as important as understanding its capabilities. **Become a Speaker at The Test Tribe events:** ​Wish to share your insights with the community at a future event?

Unreal Meetup October 2026

It's finally time again to see what Berlin's Unreal community has to offer! And if you've never been, this is a good one to start with. We'll meet at [SAE Berlin](https://www.sae.edu/deu/campuses/berlin/), a well-known creative media Institute where Unreal is part of the curriculum! **Anyone is welcome - no matter if you are a professional, student, hobbyist, or just curious about Unreal.** ### **Agenda** 6:45 pm: Venue opens. Speakers get time to **test the setup.** 7:15 pm: **Introductions** and **presentations.** Introduce yourself to the others who joined to share our passion. We will have an ice breaker question, you can choose to answer that as well. 8:15 pm: Time for **announcements**. Are you looking for collaboration, a job or a discussion? Let everyone know! Then we'll have a **break**. 8:30 pm: More **presentations**! 9:00 pm: End of the official event. Usually, we'll head to a bar to **chat.** ### **Our Speakers** Talks come from anyone working with Unreal: games, film and virtual production, archviz, motion graphics, live visuals, installations, or something nobody's tried yet. Creative works are also about the journey, not just the finish line. More speakers may be announced at a later date, and there are always people who spontaneously decide to present. ### **Care to share?** Got something Unreal-related to share - an idea, a project, or advice? Whether it's to inform, inspire, or spark discussion, we want to hear from you! First time presenting? That's welcome here. A work-in-progress, a thing you figured out the hard way, or five minutes of "look what I made" is a perfectly good talk. [Join our discord](https://discord.gg/dazd5QbsHh) to message the organizer (Melih - DoDiyez) to get 10 minutes to present + 5 minutes for questions. Need more time? Please discuss with the organizer beforehand. Not registered? No problem! If there's room, you can still share something on the night. We do run a tight schedule, so a heads-up in advance makes it much more likely you'll get a slot. Ideally, you should bring your presentation on a USB stick or bring your own laptop to present. ### **Got questions?** Feel free to reach out! Contact **Melih** via [our Discord Server](https://discord.gg/dazd5QbsHh) or by sending a direct message to *dodiyez* on Discord.
