Many of you have been asking about the future of the Elasticsearch UG Berlin. A few months ago we announced the temporary shutdown of the meetup while we negotiated how to continue the meetup due to some disagreements. We continued discussing this over the last few months and finally agreed to relaunch the meetup with a bit changed scope. We very much enjoyed running the group in the old form and it has been one of the most active groups in that space, with 32 events over the time it lasted. Only Elasticsearch France is more active.

Today we are announcing the re-launch of the group under a different name: Search Berlin and with a broadened scope: search. We will open the group to other topics from the same space. We believe this will lead to a more informative environment for all attendees and provides independence to the community effort. Elasticsearch and the products around it will of course stay an important topic. This comes along with a few minor governance changes (which improve the group, in our view).
