Blood on the Clocktower at Manifesto! (beginner/intermediate)

Hi folks, this is the meetup group for the weekly Sunday Blood on the Clocktower games in the Soot bar in Manifesto at Potsdamer Platz. We run beginner-friendly and intermediate-level games throughout the afternoon and evening. **Friendly newcomers of all skill levels are welcome, no experience required!** Our group aims to provide a fun and welcoming space to experience this thrilling game of social deception. **We focus on promoting a positive and fun group atmosphere, where players don’t take themselves or the game too seriously, whether they’re heroically winning or spectacularly losing.** Our players follow the code of conduct for the Berlin Board Gamers group and are expected to treat each other with respect and consideration – “killing with grace, and dying with dignity”. We are usually able to offer two simultaneous games on Sundays. If you are marked as "attending" in Meetup and are in your seat at 15:00, your place is guaranteed for as long as you want to stay. All other seats are first come, first served. We always run at least one beginner-friendly game of the basic version of Clocktower ("Trouble Brewing") throughout the afternoon and evening. We also usually have enough players for a second intermediate-level game. If you are already very familiar with Clocktower, consider also joining our Tuesday meetup for advanced players, when we play with complex custom scripts and characters. Blood on the Clocktower is a deep, mechanical game of murder and mystery, lies and logic, deduction and deception… think Werewolf on steroids. Each player receives a unique secret role and plays either for the good team – the uninformed majority, gathering info and working with others to solve the puzzle – or the evil team, the informed minority, scheming to eliminate good players and protect their demon from execution. In our beginner games no prior experience is expected and we will gladly explain the game rules to any newcomers. We play in English so players should be able to understand and express themselves in English: an exception is possible for one pair of players willing to play together (as a “Revolutionary” pair) where one player can interpret into and out of English. Please let us know in advance if this is the case. We are very grateful to the wonderful folks at Manifesto for hosting our meetup! **Please support the venue during your visit by buying drinks and/or food.**

**New to the game? Please join our beginner-friendly Sunday event instead!** Hi folks, this is a special meetup group for the regular Blood on the Clocktower games every Tuesday in Berlin Mitte. This event is aimed at players who are already very familiar with Clocktower - if you have dozens of games under your belt and are excited to play custom scripts with other seasoned players, this is the event for you! Our group aims to provide a fun and welcoming space to experience this thrilling game of social deception. **We focus on promoting a positive and fun group atmosphere, where players don’t take themselves or the game too seriously, whether they’re heroically winning or spectacularly losing.** Our players follow the code of conduct for the Berlin Board Gamers group and are expected to treat each other with respect and consideration – “killing with grace, and dying with dignity”. If you are marked as "going" in Meetup and are in your seat at 19:00, your place is guaranteed. All other seats are first come, first served. There is a €3 entrance fee per person to cover the cost of hiring the venue, payable in cash.

SDD: Designing Policy, Product & Practice in Healthcare

This event is organized by Service Design Drinks Berlin. Thoughtworks is hosting the event as collaboration partner. **[PLEASE REGISTER ON SDD Website with this Link](https://www.sddberlin.com/events/designing-policy%2C-product-%26-practice-in-healthcare)** **Service Design Drinks Berlin** **Designing Policy, Product & Practice in Healthcare** **About the Event** Healthcare is where design gets real. Every product, service and space has to work for patients and clinicians under pressure, and within a dense web of regulation, data protection and clinical reality. For our third collaboration with UX Healthcare Europe, we're bringing that tension into one room. As the official community pre-event of UX Healthcare Berlin (October 7–8), this special edition looks at healthcare design from three angles: * **Policy.** Before a health product reaches a single patient in Germany, it has to make its way through medical device regulation, data protection and reimbursement rules. **Preetha Moorthy,** Usability Engineer & UX Consultant at Heidelberg University (Mannheim), leads the M²AXI lab, where she designs and evaluates digital health technologies. In her talk Design challenges in designing health technologies, she shows what it takes to build usable, human-centered health tech within the requirements and restrictions of the German market. * **Product.** **Noah Petermann**, Co-Founder of Aniva Health, is building preventive diagnostics that turn a single blood draw into 100+ biomarkers, clinician-reviewed insights and a personal action plan. With a background in health-tech and biotech startups and venture capital, he uses Aniva as the example to show what it takes to build a health product in Germany: how the product came together, the challenges along the way, and what actually worked for them. * **Practice.** **Scott Marin**, MD, Emergency Physician, Design Clinician and Founder of Northern Insights Innovation, brings more than a decade of clinical and leadership experience across the Canadian Arctic. In Procedural wayfinding in healthcare, he shows how service design thinking can shape the way clinicians move through a space while carrying out procedures in critical care. \-\-\- Expect three 15-minute lightning talks, followed by three discussion tables on policy, product and practice, each hosted by one of our speakers, so you can dig deeper, ask your questions and bring your own experience. \-\-\- **Live graphic recording:** Illustrator and graphic recorder **Buffie Nguyen** will capture the talks and conversations live, turning the evening's key ideas into visuals as they happen. \-\-\- And then, as always: drinks, snacks, networking and the conversations only this community has. \-\-\- **On the Agenda** **18:30 – 19:00:** Doors open & check-in **19:00 – 19:15**: Welcome by SDD Berlin, Thoughtworks & UX Healthcare **19:15 – 19:30**: Lightning Talk 1: Preetha Moorthy **19:30 – 19:45**: Lightning Talk 2: Noah Petermann **19:45 – 20:00**: Lightning Talk 3: Scott Marin **20:00 – 20:40**: Discussion tables: Policy · Product · Practice **from 20:40**: Networking with drinks & snacks \-\-\- **About the speakers** * **Preetha Moorthy** Usability Engineer & UX Consultant · Heidelberg University (Mannheim) **Lightning talk: Design challenges in designing health technologies** Designing a health product in Germany means designing for far more than your users. Regulation, certification, data protection and reimbursement shape what's possible long before the first prototype is tested. Preetha shares what it really takes to build usable, human-centered health technology within the requirements and restrictions of the German market, and where policy and design meet (and sometimes collide). **About Preetha:** She is a usability engineer and researcher at Heidelberg University, working at the intersection of HCI and healthcare. She leads the M²AXI lab and focuses on designing and evaluating digital health technologies, with a particular interest in usability and human-centered approaches to healthcare technology. * **Noah Petermann** Co-Founder · Aniva Health **Lightning talk: How to launch diagnostics within your brand in weeks.** What does it really take to build a health product in Germany? Using Aniva Health as the example, Noah walks us through the product itself (one blood draw, 100+ biomarkers, clinician-reviewed insights and a personal action plan) and the journey behind it: the challenges the team faced along the way, and what actually worked for them. **About Noah:** He is co-founder and CEO of Aniva Health, a Berlin-based health-tech company building the infrastructure for preventive, data-driven medicine, with blood-draw locations across Germany. Before founding Aniva, he worked with VC-backed health-tech and biotech startups and in venture capital, and studied at Humboldt University of Berlin. * **Scott Marin** MD Emergency Physician, Design Clinician & Founder · Northern Insights Innovation **Lightning talk: Procedural wayfinding in healthcare** In critical care, finding your way through a space and carrying out a procedure happen at the same time, and each shapes the other. Procedural wayfinding, a term Scott coined, looks at exactly that interaction. Scott walks us through how to apply service design thinking to wayfinding in clinical procedural environments, with concrete strategies, techniques and short examples from emergency care. **About Scott:** He is an emergency physician, design clinician and founder of Northern Insights Innovation. Drawing on more than a decade of clinical and leadership experience across the Canadian Arctic, he explores how people navigate complex systems under pressure, turning frontline insights into safer, clearer and more humane services. Some of you will remember him from our last SDD × UX Healthcare edition. Welcome back, Scott! \-\-\- **About UX Healthcare Europe** Since 2018, UX Healthcare has brought together healthcare professionals, designers and researchers from around the world to transform the patient experience and clinician workflows through user-centered design. In 2026, the community meets in Rotterdam, Berlin and Singapore. **UX Healthcare Berlin 2026** 📅 October 7–8, 2026 📍 adesso SE, Prinzenstraße 34, 10969 Berlin 🎟️ Tickets: [uxhealthcare.co/tickets](http://uxhealthcare.co/tickets) \-\-\- **Please note** This is a free community event made possible by the generosity of our speakers, hosts and partners.

A Java 8 lambda and JobRunr is all you need for distributed (batch) processing!

The Java User Group Berlin-Brandenburg and our partner [codecentric](https://www.codecentric.de/) invite you to the talk **A Java 8 lambda and JobRunr is all you need for distributed (batch) processing!** by Ronald Dehuysser on **October the 7th, 2026**. **A Java 8 lambda and JobRunr is all you need for distributed (batch) processing!** (Ronald Dehuysser): Are you struggling with CPU-intensive tasks, high I/O work, or do you need to schedule background jobs without blocking the rest of your system? I often see teams building a scheduling solution themselves, severely underestimating the complexity of running jobs asynchronously. A costly endeavour, especially with a simple, free and open-source solution readily available. Find out more at https://jug-berlin-brandenburg.de/blog/2026/jobrunner/

GitHub Copilot Dev Days Berlin

✨ **Dev Days** is a global, in-person community-led initiative taking place from September 1st - October 31st, 2026. The series brings together developers, enthusiasts, and local tech communities to explore the power of GitHub Copilot through practical, hands-on experiences. Open to all developers, each session runs for approximately 2-3 hours and focuses on real-world workflows, hands-on activities, and workshops centred on GitHub Copilot in the Copilot app and the CLI. Agenda: 04:00 PM - 04:15 PM Opening and Networking 04:15 pm - 05:00 pm Talk **Yuriy Varshavskyy** *Agentic Workflows with GitHub Copilot* Discover how GitHub Copilot Agentic Workflows can automate complex development tasks by combining AI-driven planning with GitHub Actions. In this session, you'll learn what agentic workflows are, how to create them using a simple Markdown definition, compile them into executable GitHub Actions workflows, and integrate them into your development process. We'll also explore key benefits such as automation, consistency, reduced manual effort, and faster delivery of software solutions. 05:00 pm - 05:15 pm Break 05:15 pm - 06:00 pm Talk **Luise Freese** *Beyond Proof-of-Concept Prison: Who Owns What We Ship?* In a proof of concept, AI is a feature. In production, it becomes infrastructure. The impressive demo is the easy part. Shipping it means confronting everything the prototype was allowed to ignore: maintenance, integration, failure, accountability, cost, and the people whose work will be reorganized around the system. Organizations often treat Proof-of-Concept Prison as a technical problem. But many prototypes remain prototypes because nobody has made the decisions a real product requires. Ownership stays vague, budgets remain temporary, and delivery teams inherit risks they do not have the authority to resolve. The organization wants innovation, but hesitates when innovation demands lasting responsibility. Yet assigning a product owner does not settle the deeper question of ownership. Who owns the models, infrastructure, data and knowledge the product depends on? Who gains control when work is moved into systems operated by a handful of vendors? Who captures the productivity gains, and who carries the social and environmental costs? A system can be technically robust, operationally mature and commercially successful while still making its users more dependent and concentrating power elsewhere. This talk connects the practical challenge of escaping Proof-of-Concept Prison with the politics of putting AI into production. Because shipping is never merely the moment a prototype becomes a product. It is the moment technical choices become organizational dependencies, working conditions and power relations. The question is not only whether we can ship it, but what, and whose, system we strengthen when we do. # Code of Conduct We are committed to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all participants.
