📝 Agenda:

• 18:00 - Doors Open

• 18:20 - Talk #1 - Elastic Agent: Ingesting log files\, how hard can it be? Denis Rechkunov, Principal Software Engineer at Elastic Abstract: Logs are the foundation of any observability solution, but to make them useful, they need to be ingested into a search index. One of the features provided by our Elastic Agent offering is to ingest log files into Elasticsearch so our customers can quickly navigate events in their systems. Reading files and sending data to Elasticsearch sounds simple, right? Not quite. In this talk we're going to dive deep into challenges associated with reading log files and sending them to Elasticsearch.

• 18:50 - Talk #2 Flexible Chatbots with Elasticsearch - Integrating Elasticsearch, Confluence, and LLMs Christoph Eder, Senior IT Consultant at EBCONT Abstract: In this talk, we'll show how we developed a flexible enterprise search solution using Elasticsearch — one that not only works in the cloud and with LLMs, but can also run on-premises and be easily combined with different LLMs.

• 19:20 - Pizza, drinks and networking

• 20:30 - Wrap up

Invite your friends and join our meetup. Special thanks to our partner EBCONT.

Join us for an evening of cutting-edge AI innovation hosted by GDG Berlin at IAV. This Build with AI special event explores how multimodal intelligence—the fusion of video, language, and sensor data—is transforming industries, with a spotlight on the automotive sector and video understanding.

In Talk 1, Dr. Christoph Raab discover the automotive industry in Germany is undergoing transformative changes marked by electrification, software-defined vehicles, and AI. Among these, AI plays a pivotal role—not only in features like self-driving cars and intelligent infotainment but also in transforming how vehicles are engineered. AI can significantly optimize and accelerate the design process, particularly within the V-model, a key framework for developing and validating automotive systems. By leveraging AI, efficiency gains of quite over 50% can be achieved in requirements engineering, testing, and software development.This talk will explore how AI enhances the V-model, showcasing real-world use cases, IAV's cutting-edge solutions, and hands-on demonstrations. Expect practical insights, interactive demos, and a roadmap to integrating AI into the automotive industry.

In Talk 2, Hrishikesh Yadav, dives deep into the world of video understanding and explore how models like Marengo craft meaningful video embeddings, enabling applications such as video-to-text generation, scene analysis, and AI agents. ive into the fast-evolving field of video understanding and discover how multimodal AI models—like vision transformers and Marengo—are shaping the future of intelligent systems. This session covers real-world use cases, how to generate meaningful video embeddings, and the journey from video to text using models like Pegasus. Includes a live demo and open-source resources to start building your own applications. No prior experience needed! In talk 3, Nidaa Fatimah Mungloo will take us through the practical side of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) — breaking it down and showing how this powerful architecture is used in real-world applications today.

The first Berlin Ethereum meetup of this meetup group took place on August 19th, 2014, as an "Ethereum Development Workshop" (see the event here)

There was an even earlier one, on July 4th, 2014, that was not listed in this meetup group yet. Anyway, it’s safe to say the Berlin Ethereum meetup has been running for 10 years now!

We want to celebrate this little moment of Ethereum history by hosting a special meetup edition, inviting significant people from Ethereum's past and present to reflect on the last 10 years and walk down memory lane with us.

Join us at c-base space station for a nice time and talks highlighting personal stories, discussing Ethereum's history, key moments, learnings, insights, and future visions.

We’re excited to have some of the best people in the Berlin Ethereum ecosystem on stage for this special evening:

• Friederike Ernst, co-founder of Gnosis.
• Florian Glatz, OG crypto lawyer and involved in EuCi Crypto Initiative and Common Ground.
• Christoph Jentzsch, co-founder of The DAO and Tokenize.it
• Fabian Vogelsteller, co-founder of LUKSO, author of ERC20, and builder of Mist and web3.js

Looking forward to welcoming many new and old faces for this special occasion!

TOGAF & Co - Microsoft Purviews Metamodel in Context Data governance defines how data is handled. It defines it in such a way that its value is optimized and risks are avoided. Data governance is thus intended to ensure that data is treated as a normal economic asset. "Data as Assets" is the corresponding slogan; The technical context is joined by that of the company as a whole. Microsoft Purview therefore claims to offer "unified data governance". Until the introduction of the meta model, however, the managed (meta) data was of a purely technical nature. Now the connection to enterprise architecture, data strategy, the corresponding applications and process models opens up. The opportunities offered by this extended perspective will be the subject of this session.

TOGAF & Co - Microsoft Purviews Metamodel im Kontext Data Governance definiert den Umgang mit Daten. Sie definiert ihn so, dass deren Wert optimiert wird und Risiken vermieden werden. Data Governance soll so dafür sorgen, dass Daten wie ein ganz normales Wirtschaftsgut behandelt werden. „Data as Assets“ bildet den dazu gehörigen Slogan; Zum technischen Kontext gesellt sich der des Gesamtunternehmens. Microsoft Purview kommt daher mit dem Anspruch eine „Unified Data Governance“ zu bieten.Bis zur Einführung des Metamodelles waren die verwalteten (Meta-) Daten allerdings rein technischer Natur. Jetzt eröffnet sich die Verbindung zu Enterprise Architektur, Datenstrategie, den dazu gehörigen Anwendungen und Vorgehensmodellen. Die Chancen die diese erweiterte Perspektive bietet, sollen Gegenstand dieser Session sein.
