Berlin Tech Meetups
I’m trying to come up with a list of tech-related meetups in Berlin. This list is far from complete: please help me to add more meetups, and improve the descriptions. Just send me an email with corrections and/or suggestions. A next step would be to create a Google Calendar just like Peter Robinett did for Dutch Tech Meetups.
For people who don’t speak German: Germans are very friendly and speak English, especially the techies. Sometimes the announcements, webpages or conversations are in German, but Germans are very polite and quickly switch to English when necessary.
Here’s the preliminary list I’ve come up with:
Berlin Google Technology User Group
We meet regularly every 6 - 8 weeks to talk about recent developments in Google technologies or to spread practical knowledge through presentations. Next meeting: March 26th.
This group was created to gather the HTML5 community in Berlin. Meetups/Webinars will be organized every month once moment we will have a certain number of people. All HTML5, CSS or Javascript enthusiasts (Developers, designers, webmasters…) are welcome to join.
The Berlin Semantic Web Meetup Group
Meet local people interested in standardized and future (Semantic Web) Internet technologies aimed at turning the Web into a huge repository of cross-referenced, machine-understandable data and executable artifacts, processes and services.
We talk about everything couchdb, its future, our future, related technology and (our) projects connected to it.
The group aims to bring Berlin’s system administrators, system engineers, system developers, web operators, software developers, test engineers, software architects and alike together and create a media for information and knowledge exchange.
Talking about everything scrum and agile.

Berlin.JS is a usergroup focused on Javascript and related topics. We meet regularly on the 3rd Thursday each month at 7p.m. at co.up Offices, Adalbertstraße 7-8 in Berlin-Kreuzberg.
Every month we will have 4-10 companies do a short (3-5 min.) demo of something cool to Berlin’s tech community (geeks, investors, entrepreneurs, hackers, etc). We’ve seen it in New York and want to bring it to Berlin.
