Rust Berlin on Location 🏳️‍🌈 - Edition 017

Rust Berlin on location 🏳️‍🌈 is a new, informal in-person Rust meetup group in Berlin. We are a interactive meetup format interested in mob coding, deep diving and problem solving together. We build toy projects, share experiences, discuss technology and learn new cool stuff. And you are welcome to join! No matter if you are writing Rust production code every day, if you already contribute to Open Source projects or want to start doing so, if you use Rust in hobby projects or if you are just curious what the hype and buzz is all about, you are very welcome! To coordinate and plan activities, please join our [Rust Berlin on location 🏳️‍🌈](https://rust-berlin.zulipchat.com/join/gap4pdbz7xsquliiz7tgcyuk/)[ Zulip chat](https://rust-berlin.zulipchat.com/join/gap4pdbz7xsquliiz7tgcyuk/)! Planned programme Being an informal meetup, we are open to anything between just meet and talk, explore nerd snipes and rabbit holes, mob code together, plan and build fun projects, tinker with electronics, and presentations with Q&A. This time, Jan-Erik will lead an interactive introduction to *[Jujutsu VCS](https://github.com/jj-vcs/jj)* (“`jj`”), the git-compatible version control system. *“Jujutsu is a powerful version control system for software projects. You use it to get a copy of your code, track changes to the code, and finally publish those changes for others to see and use. It is designed from the ground up to be easy to use—whether you’re new or experienced, working on brand new projects alone, or large scale software projects with large histories and teams.”* Expect a guided exploration, followed by hands-on demo and play-along time with questions. Feel free to bring your laptops if you want to follow along! Tobias Hunger will join us as well and help with questions. If *you* would like to lead a session on either topic at one of our upcoming editions, that would be wonderful — reach out in our Zulip chat! With the [introduction](https://berline.rs/2026/04/01/berlin-talks.html) of the new [Rust Berlin Talks](https://berline.rs/about#rust-berlin-talks) meetup series, [Rust Berlin on location 🏳️‍🌈](https://berline.rs/about#rust-berlin-on-location) strengthens its focus on social community experience, the exchange of knowledge, ideas and perspectives, and the joy of spontaneity. Anyone is invited to bring their projects and questions, show or ask something, or bring a topic to explore together. The best conversations and deepest rabbit holes can emerge out of seemingly nowhere. Projected upcoming meetups We schedule regular meetups on Thursday evening every four weeks, using the slot between the Berlin Rust Hack and Learn online meetup (every two weeks), and the Rust Nuremberg online meetup (every four weeks). 3 September 2026 is our seventeenth meeting. Our next projected meetings are going to occur on the following dates: • 1 Oct 2026 • 29 Oct 2026 • 26 Nov 2026 • 21 Jan 2027 • 18 Feb 2027 • 18 Mar 2027 Location Our meetup location is the new shared office community space of Ferrous Systems, Slint and KDAB in Berlin Mitte, for up to 25 people. We are expecting to use this space as our default location for the time being, with the IN-Berlin e.V. community space in Moabit as backup. Regardless, as our group might eventually outgrow the locations' size limit, we are low-key looking for bigger locations. If you know a fitting location, then please let us know in our Signal group! Another workable way might be to split the meetup into smaller, interest-specific sub-groups instead. As the no-show rate on Meetup.com is rather high, consider showing up even if you are on the waiting list. We can't promise that there is any space left, but usually there is. So give it a shot! Accessibility The location has an elevator and a wheelchair accessible bathroom. Please note that the bathroom is two floors down from the meetup space. On our quest for a bigger location, we are going to pay special attention to…
