This year’s MuniHac will start on Friday, July 7th with the Big Techday 23 at Motorworld Munich. At our conference on science and IT, MuniHac participants can expect an engaging day full of talks by world-class speakers, exciting exhibits and a dedicated Haskell track.

We are pleased to sponsor Hackaburg again this year. Organised by Techbase Regensburg, the Hackaburg is a hackathon that brings together developers, designers and entrepreneurs from all over the world and offers the opportunity to work on various innovative projects for a weekend. A special feature of this year's edition is the motto "Hackaburg Goes Green". To reduce the footprint at every future event, key indicators like how much water was used or how much waste was generated will be measured. Using these KPIs, the organisers will analyse how sustainable this year's Hackaburg was and investigate where there is room to improve. If you would like to take part or are interested in the results of the measurements afterwards, visit the Hackaburg website at: https://hackaburg.de/

How would you like to speak to your command line as if it was a co-worker? Introducing your new colleague "Please CLI"! Just explain in plain text what you would like to do and it will respond with a Linux CLI command that does just that. And, best of all, your new colleague doesn't even expect a salary, as the tool is completely OSS and can be "hired" via homebrew or apt.

This year, we are once again sponsoring BOBKonf, one of the leading conferences for software developers in Germany. Our colleague Franz Thoma will also be giving a talk named "What this game taught me about software architecture". With the help of the popular game "Factorio" he will discuss topics such as microservices, monolithic architecture, team and project management, and maintenance costs in software development.

BOBkonf will take place on Friday, March 17th, 2023 in Berlin. We're excited to be part of it again and look forward to connecting with other software developers.

On February 1st, we celebrated a major milestone – for the first time, over 750 full-time employees are now part of our global team! To mark the occasion, we held a special edition Techday, featuring group photos in our offices and remotely. As a token of appreciation, every employee received a new softshell jacket. Looking back on our journey from a small startup in 2001 to a large, multinational company in 2023, we are excited for what the future holds and look forward to welcoming the next 750 members to the TNG crew.

Corporate presentations are tedious to create and deliver. That's why our Innovation Hacking Team created ai-slides.com! The tool uses AI systems like GPT-3 and Stable Diffusion to generate complete slide decks, including captions, text, images and more! But that's not even everything! ai-slides.com can also present the slide deck using Text-to-Speech! Have a look at our promotion video on YouTube and a steadily growing set of AI-generated slide decks at ai-slides.com and learn more on important topics such as why penguins can't fly!
