Dann komm zu uns ins Sprachcafé! **Muttersprachler sprechen mit dir auf Deutsch** und üben mit dir zu sprechen. Es ist kostenlos, findet jede Woche statt und jeder ist willkommen - egal ob du gerade erst anfängst oder schon gut Deutsch sprichst. **Komm einfach vorbei. Wir freuen uns auf dich! Du musst dich nicht zwingend auf Meetup anmelden!** P.S.: Falls du Kinder hast, können sie im Café in der Spieleecke spielen. P.S.S.: **Bitte update dein R.S.V.P.**, falls du doch nicht kommen kannst. Wir haben meistens eine volle Warteliste und möchten möglichst vielen eine Teilnahme ermöglichen. --English-- ! From now on we are meeting on the 5th floor, the entrance is on the right hand side of the cafe, then take the elevator to the 5th floor.! You want to speak German, but you don't know where? You've completed an (integration) course, but feel like you're forgetting more and more? You'd like to practice your German? Then **come join us at the Language Café and speak German with us**! Native speakers will talk with you, listen to you, and help you. It's free, takes place every week, and everyone is welcome – no matter if you're just starting out or already speak good German. **Just drop by.

Beyond Dashboards: Grafana Features & Secure AI Agents

🗒️ **About the event** Join us at **NLND Neuland Berlin** for an evening of talks, pizza, drinks, and conversation. We’ll explore how to run coding agents securely and uncover Grafana features that can make observability and troubleshooting easier. 📍 **NLND Neuland Berlin** · Neuköllnische Allee 80, 12057 Berlin 📋 **Agenda** **18:00 · Welcome, pizza, and drinks** 🍕 Grab a bite and meet fellow community members before the talks begin. **18:30 · Talks** 🎙️ **Grafana and the Chamber of Hidden Features** Grafana is best known for dashboards... but the Grafana ecosystem has grown far beyond panels, PromQL queries, and a few alert rules. In this session, we’ll explore the parts of Grafana that are easy to overlook: features hiding in plain sight, capabilities that don’t always make it into the typical Grafana workflow, and products and solutions from Grafana Labs that many teams may not have encountered yet. We’ll look beyond the obvious dashboarding use cases and uncover tools that can simplify observability, improve troubleshooting, and solve problems you might currently be addressing with entirely different systems. **Speaker:** Anatolii Timoshuk Anatolii Timoshuk used to run production systems. Now he talks to the people who run production systems — arguably a questionable career progression, but one that comes with fewer 3 a.m. alerts. After years in systems engineering and DevOps, building and operating large-scale cloud and Kubernetes infrastructure, Anatolii crossed over to the go-to-market side of tech. Today, as a Senior Observability Architect at Grafana Labs, he works with teams across EMEA and APAC on observability, architecture, and figuring out what's actually happening inside their systems. He brings an operator's mindset to Solutions Engineering: distrust the happy path, ask what happens when it breaks, and always look at the data. **So you want to run (coding) agents securely** Fixing a bug doesn’t need your cloud provider credentials. Summarizing a document doesn’t need permission to send emails. But useful agents need access to our code, data, and tools – and that can easily end up with more authority than the task requires. Unlike a malicious dependency, agents don’t necessarily need an attacker to start doing something you didn’t intend. “Just sandbox it” sounds like the obvious answer. So does “keep a human in the loop.” Neither quite settles what running an agent securely actually means. Tom explores the boundaries between isolation, autonomy, and trust – and how a perfectly reasonable task can end in what would be a felony if a human did it. What should an agent be allowed to reach? Which decisions should remain yours? And how would you notice when it starts going off track? Through live demos of popular open-source tools, Tom puts sandboxing to the test: what does it protect, what does it get in the way of, and what remains a matter of trust? Can you give an agent enough freedom to get the job done—and then just walk away? **Speaker:** [Tom Braack](https://linkedin.com/in/tombraack) [Tom](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tombraack/) is a Senior Software Engineer at Grafana Labs, working on highly autonomous agents for automatic infrastructure observability and management.
Previously, Tom contributed to the OpenTelemetry Collector and Prometheus.
He draws on a strong cloud-native background, having previously created Grafana Tanka, an open-source tool for scalable Kubernetes configuration management.
Tom has studied Computer Science at FU Berlin and has presented about observability and cloud-native topics at conferences such as FOSDEM, PromCon, and OTel Community Day. **20:00 · Q&A and networking** 💬 **21:00 · Event ends** 🔚 Whether you work in DevOps or site reliability engineering, or you’re just getting started with Grafana and observability, you’re welcome to join us. We look forward to seeing you there! =================================================== NLND (Neuland) Berlin is a 150.000 sqm innovation district catalysing industrial transformation. We bring together industry and SMEs with universities, startups and government to create a European lighthouse project for AI, Deep Tech, Industry 4.0 and future city technologies. ​Discover more from NLND [nlnd.com](https://nlnd.com/?utm_source=luma) \| [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/nlnd?utm_source=luma) \| [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nlnd.hq/?utm_source=luma) #Grafana #Observability

You will be working on a pattern for a keychain that you can take home at the end of the night. You will be provided with needles, fabric, thread and a cross-stitch kit in the shape of a keychain. There will be samples around in case you are not sure which pattern to follow. **There is a donation of a minimum of 4 to 10 euros.** (please always donate according to your financial situation, I want to keep the events as affordable as possible) In case you wish to pay via paypal: [[neurocrafting.berlin@gmail.com](mailto:neurocrafting.berlin@gmail.com)]

Graphs Gone Wild

Register: [https://globalai.community/e/ack9t53d](https://globalai.community/e/ack9t53d) Bring your coding agent. Pick an idea. Build something. Graphs Gone Wild is for people experimenting with AI agents, memory, documents, graphs, MCP, and new developer tooling. Use whatever stack you like: Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, your own agent setup, frameworks, databases, models, or something completely experimental. For this NODES 2026 pop-up, Neo4j will provide some of the building blocks, including Document Intelligence, Aura MCP, knowledge graphs, and Agent Memory. More tools, technologies, and partners will be revealed soon. The goal: build something interesting in a few hours. It does not need to be polished. A working experiment and a good demo are enough. What can you build? Anything around agents, connected knowledge, memory, documents, tools, or graphs.

Erfolgsnetzwerk - Work in Progress

**Weiter geht es mit dem Erfolgsnetzwerk** Wie angekündigt, geht es im 14-tägigen Rhythmus weiter. **Ablauf:** ***Bist du zum ersten Mal dabei?*** Dann sind wir gespannt, in der ersten Runde von deinem Projekt oder Vorhaben sowie deinem Hintergrund zu erfahren. Auch mögliche Hindernisse dürfen genannt werden. ***Teilnehmende, die schon einmal dabei waren,*** berichten von ihren Erfolgen und auch den Schwierigkeiten, die sie seit unserer letzten Zusammenkunft erlebt haben. Im Anschluss sprechen wir in der Gruppe über jedes einzelne Projekt, stellen Fragen und geben Feedback. ***Die dritte Runde gilt dem nächsten Schritt:*** Ihr überlegt euch konkret, was ihr bis zum nächsten Treffen erledigen wollt, um eurem Ziel ein Stückchen näher zu kommen. Das Erfolgsnetzwerk ist ein offenes Format für alle, die vor einem beruflichen oder privaten Projekt stehen und durch Austausch und Feedback ihre nächsten Schritte klarer sehen und umsetzen wollen. Ich freue mich darauf, euch beim nächsten Treffen zu begrüßen.
