A Strong Restart: Berlin MacAdmins Meetup Recap
What a night! This week’s Berlin MacAdmins Meetup was a fantastic success — and more importantly, a powerful relaunch of the community spirit that makes this group so special.
Hosted at the wycomco office, the event brought together a vibrant crowd of MacAdmins, IT professionals, and Apple ecosystem enthusiasts for an evening full of insight, networking, and fresh momentum.

Kicking Things OffThe evening began with warm welcomes and stories from the hosts — including thankful words to @TheLiebeskind and his team for keeping the meet-ups going for the last couple of years.
The Berlin skies, which had been stormy all week, cleared just in time — a good omen, perhaps?

Spotlight Talk by @scriptingosxThe highlight of the evening was an insightful session from Armin, who’s been part of the Apple admin world for over a decade and now works at Jamf. His talk focused on:
- The power of open source and its impact on the MacAdmins community
- The #macadminsfoundation, its origin story, and how it supports admins globally
- A closer look at essential tools like #munki, #autopkg, #nudge, #eraseinstall, #installomator, and more
- Why #swift & SwiftUI are game-changers even for less experienced developers
- A live demo of developing a native macOS app in SwiftUI to showcase what’s possible with modern tooling
His session reminded us that this community thrives on a culture of sharing — and everyone, regardless of coding skills, can contribute.
