About us
Interested in C++ present and future? Want to improve your skills and knowledge - or just hang out with like-minded individuals?
This is a group that likes to discuss the state of in C++, what we can do with it, and how we can do it better. We welcome people from *all* parts of the community - very much including those that identify as minorities.
Our aim is to meet once every month or so with talks and potentially other activities.
If you'd like to present please fill out this simple form.
Our ground rules are documented in the Berlin Code of Conduct
Videos for many of the previous events can be found on our You Tube channel. Older videos were mostly hosted on the SkillsMatter site (which, sadly, seems to have gone now).
