The c-base (http://c-base.org) has several programming related events:

- Android round table every last Wednesday - Lisp round table on Thursday - Wifi hackers every Wednesday

You can "follow" their calendar: http://www.c-base.org/calender/termine.ics

And even if you can't attend any of those events. Dont visit Berlin without the c-base. Its a really awesome place to hang out. Same goes for the Tacheles. [1]

Tacheles will be closed by end of july as far as I know. Last time I was in that area there were a hell lot of cops. The artists living in the building try to fight for their space, but I don't think they'll make it. It's a shame that a lot of these alternative spaces are closed down without thinking to make room for yet another useless shop.

I would probably start here: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22berlin%20user%20group%22

We had our (supposedly?) first HN Meetup Berlin last week and want to do it on a regular basis:
