How did "Janus IT and Friends" come about?

I have helped out at many events in the past. I was co-organiser of gametreff.NRW and organised a running club and a workshop on artificial intelligence at the University of Dortmund.

When I became self-employed, I still continued to put energy in these event. So, I came up with the idea of summarizing the various activities under the name "Janus IT and Friends".

Community events

Through the co-organisation of various community events, such as the Rust Dortmund Meetup, the Online Meetup Rust and C++ Dragons and the Jahrestreffen für Young Professionals in der chemischen Industrie.

Sports events

It has been scientifically proven that physical activity (or exercise) contributes to better health and an increase in cognitive skills. It is also a great way to socialise. In addition to the "Swim Club", there is also a "Run Club". Our next goals are

• DLRG German Rescue Swimming Badge Bronze
• Phönixsee half marathon in Dortmund

Worth mentioning 2024

Rust Nation UK 2024 was the highlight of 2024 for me, where I met other Rust and C++ Dragons participants for the first time in real life and I gave a talk on the topic of Design Patterns in Rust am Beispiel chemischer Anlagen (Video) .

The sporting highlight was a visit to the Mud Masters and, in 2025, the Halterner Seelauf at freezing -5° Celsius.

Also in 2024: Visits to trade fairs such as ACHEMA (Experience report 2024) and conferences such as the Rust Nation UK (Experience report 2024).
