Welcome to **Execution with Style**, a weekly co-working lab for freelancers, creators, founders, and builders who want structure, accountability, and real momentum. We combine **deep focus + small-group pressure + a playful self-expression twist**. When we wear something unusual, we step outside our normal identity. That’s when creativity becomes easier. 📲 **Want reminders or to connect with others before/after?** Join our [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/K6LidaoQhe16wZ0Se9pNM6), Keep contact via [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nocrastinationclub/) **Execution with Style** 👗🧥✨ Each session, you’re invited to wear **clothes that you don’t normally wear**. Something expressive. Something bold. Something unusual. **Examples:** * the jacket that never leaves your closet * something colorful or dramatic * something funny / absurd * something you “could never pull off”… until today No pressure — but if you join in, be ready to share the story behind it. **Self-expression + execution = momentum.** **Location** * Our weekly co-working sessions take place at creative, cozy hotel lobby **Jaz in the City in central Vienna**. * Regular participants may also be privately invited to occasional **Skyscraper Secret Sessions** — spontaneous small-group co-working gatherings at a private skyline location with **free tea & coffee**, plus **gym and shower access**. * These special sessions are **invitation-only** and shared privately with regular members of the community. 🕐 **Time**: 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM Every Tuesday 📍 **Location**: Jaz in the City – Ground Floor Lounge: Windmühlgasse 28, 1060 Vienna, Austria 💻 **Bring**: Your laptop, journal, creative tools, or anything you’ve been procrastinating on 🌿 **Hosted by**: NoCrastination. See you in front of the ground floor bar ✨ you will see us sitting with our laptops ☕ Please do order something from the bar, so as to keep us in their good graces! Coffee price: Espresso: €3.5, Americano: €4.5, Latte: €5.5. Donations optional. **🪑Seating information:** * If this is your first time joining us, please look for **Joanna Liu** when you arrive at the **Ground Floor Bar** (not at the hotel reception). * There is a **long table with 12 seats** for those joining the **peer accountability session** — please arrive on time if you’d like to sit here. * There are also **round tables nearby** for anyone who prefers a more flexible setup. * If you’d like to **work independently (without the Pomodoro arrangement)** but still be part of the group energy, just let Joanna know — we’ll make sure you’re comfortably included. 💛 🌱 **What to Expect** * **Drop in anytime** between **1:00–5:00 PM** — stay for a bit or settle in for the whole session * **Clarify your goals**: write down your measurable tasks for the day on a Post-it when you arrive * **Two spaces**: one for quiet focus, one for casual conversation. After each focus session, if you’re still in the flow, feel free to remain seated — no need to move. If you're up for a chat, join others in the social area for a relaxed break. * **Social start**: from **1:00 to 1:28 PM**, we mingle and get to know each other; our first focus session begins at **1:30 PM** * **Gentle structure**: we begin with a soft check-in and intention round * **Pomodoro-style rhythm**: We work in 45-minute focus blocks followed by 15-minute social breaks. If 45 minutes feels too long, feel free to break it into two 20-minute focus sessions with a short 5-minute reset in between. You’ll need to self-regulate these shorter cycles, just tune into your own flow and rejoin when ready. * **Quiet companionship**: no pressure to talk during focus time — just shared presence and support * **Welcoming space**: we meet in the creative, cozy lobby of the **Jaz in the City** 💡 **New to Pomodoro?** Don’t worry — we’ll guide you gently. No apps or timers needed. **Who This Is For** You’ll enjoy this if you: * want real accountability (not just a desk) * have a project, goal, or task you’ve been procrastinating on * like focused work blocks with a supportive vibe * are building something (job search, freelancing, creative work, admin, studying, side project, etc.) 💬 Why Join? * Beat procrastination with gentle accountability * Reclaim your momentum without doing it alone * Enjoy a change of scenery that boosts your focus **Group Size:** This is designed as a **small execution lab** (limited spots) to keep the energy focused and the accountability real. Bring your project. Bring your presence. Let’s work side-by-side. 💚

Agenda: 18:00 Doors Open 18:20 Intro/Sponsor Welcome 18:30 Doors Closed! (the reception on the ground floor will not be served anymore.. come early!) 18:30 **Here we go again: Java26 / Dominik Dorn** 19:30 Break, Food, Drinks 19:55 Raffle 20:00 **Java-UIs modernisieren ohne JavaScript — Webswing & webforJ in der Praxis / Stephan Wald** 21:00 Networking Talk 1: **Here we go again: Java 26** We'll explore everything new in Java 26! **Java-UIs modernisieren ohne JavaScript — Webswing & webforJ in der Praxis / Stephan Wald** Ihr habt eine Swing-Anwendung. Oder Eclipse RCP. Oder Oracle Forms. Das Management will sie „im Browser". Der Reflex: React-Frontend, REST-APIs, JavaScript-Entwickler einstellen, zwei Stacks pflegen. Aber muss das sein? Es gibt inzwischen mehrere Java-native Ansätze für Web-UIs — ihr kennt vermutlich einige davon aus früheren Meetups. Die meisten setzen voraus, dass ihr eure UI von Grund auf neu schreibt und bestehenden Code hinter REST-APIs kapselt. Unser Ansatz ist ein anderer: Wir zeigen einen **zweistufigen Migrationspfad**, der mit der unveränderten Bestandsanwendung im Browser startet und die Modernisierung dann Bildschirm für Bildschirm vorantreibt — ohne den Betrieb zu unterbrechen und ohne eine zweite Technologie einzuführen. Im ersten Schritt kommt **Webswing** zum Einsatz — eine Laufzeitumgebung, die Java-Desktop-Anwendungen (Swing, JavaFX, SWT, Eclipse RCP) unverändert im Browser bereitstellt, indem sie auf Toolkit-Ebene in die AWT-Pipeline eingreift und das Rendering über HTML5 Canvas und WebSocket an den Client streamt. Im zweiten Schritt zeigen wir **webforJ** — ein Open-Source-Framework (Apache 2.0), mit dem moderne Web-UIs komponentenbasiert in purem Java entstehen: Routing, Data Binding, responsive Layouts, Spring-Boot-Integration — ohne eine Zeile JavaScript. Der technische Kern des Abends: * **Webswing unter der Haube:** Wie die Custom-`Toolkit`-Implementierung funktioniert, was auf Server- vs. Client-Seite passiert, und wo die Latenz-Grenzen liegen * **webforJ-Architektur:** Server-seitiges Component Model auf Basis von DWC (Dynamic Web Client) Web Components, Event-Handling im Vergleich zum Swing-Listener-Modell, Layout-System (`FlexLayout` vs. `BorderLayout`) * **`WebswingConnector`:** Die Integrationsbrücke — wie eine webforJ-Anwendung eine Webswing-Session einbettet und bidirektionale Kommunikation zwischen Legacy-Swing-Code und modernem UI ermöglicht * **Live-Code:** Vom minimalen webforJ-Hello-World bis zur Hybrid-App mit eingebettetem Swing-Panel — wir bauen es vor euren Augen * **Ehrliche Trade-offs:** Wann dieser Ansatz passt, wann nicht — und was er im Vergleich zu einem reinen UI-Framework-Wechsel bringt und kostet Wir bringen einen Praxisbericht mit: Ein niederländischer ERP-Anbieter hat mit einem kleinen Team in vier Monaten die ersten Web-Module produktiv geschaltet — ohne JavaScript-Expertise im Haus. **About the Speaker** Stephan Wald entwickelt seit über 35 Jahren Enterprise-Software, seit über 20 Jahren in Java. Seine Erfahrung umfasst C++, C#, mehrere Business-Basic-Dialekte sowie heute primär Java. Als Head of Development und Mitglied der Geschäftsleitung bei BASIS International Ltd. (Albuquerque, USA) verantwortet er die Entwicklung des webforJ-Frameworks, eines Single-Stack-UI-Frameworks für geschäftskritische Java- und Kotlin-Anwendungen in mittelständischen und großen Unternehmen weltweit. Parallel baut er mit [SkillsPilot.de](http://skillspilot.de/) eine KI-gestützte SaaS-Plattform im HR-Consulting, die mit namhaften deutschen Unternehmen mit bis zu 20.000 Mitarbeitenden wächst.

Weekly screenings from a large archive of many of the most significant, yet seldom seen and rarely accessible cinematic masterpieces in the history of film - from its earliest beginnings to the present day. Screenings are in original language, if English, or original language with English subtitles. Films are selected democratically on the inspiration of a brief pre-screening discussion. The selected title is typically a "neglected gem" that most of us discover together for the first time. Individual taste is not a criterion and all participants are expected to put the interests of the group as a whole above personal preference or prejudice. In this sense, the emphasis is on openness, exploration, and surprise. Each screening is followed by an in-depth group discussion, led and moderated by the curator. WARNNG: FilmStory is not just about watching movies! Rather, it's a socially responsible, intellectual engagement, involving an organic approach to group study of film language, philosophy, art, history, politics, and technology. In this sense, the film is always merely the current highlight in an explorative, ongoing group discussion. **FilmStory** is a members-only series that involves a closely knit community of cinephiles. Events take place every Sunday in a comfortable, private setting with limited capacity. Participation is reserved primarily for regular members, but we're always ready to make new friends! Non-regular members may request to meet the community and, upon acceptance as a "new joiner," are welcome to participate in one event, according to space availability. New joiners are asked to make a €6 member dues contribution in advance of the requested date. New members receive a message of confirmation and the address of the Living Room in 1080 Vienna upon receipt of their dues contribution. **FilmStory** is presented and hosted by **[KulturSalon Wien](https://www.meetup.com/kultursalon-wien/)**.

🎊 2026 – such an astrologically momentous year! With significant planetary shifts and super rare cosmic alignments on the horizon, there's no better time to deepen your connection with yourself and understand what this unbelievable year has in store. **Why Astrology?** Astrology is a symbolic language 🌌 and, as such, it is the ideal method for understanding and connecting with our unconscious. If you want to get to know yourself better and strengthen the connection to your inner wisdom and creativity, then this session is for you. 💫 **What Makes This Different:** This is not a classical teaching event. Rather, what you can expect here is a fun, guided experience, mixing astrology with **creative journaling** ✍️ and **meditative reflection** 🧘. You will get a chance to flex your intuitive muscles and also meet some like-minded seekers and thinkers. After this session, you will understand how astrology can be used to forge a deeper connection with yourself and access more of the magic you carry. **What to Expect:** This cozy session will give you the chance to connect with peers and become more mindful of your astrology journey through deeper understanding and perspectives. Every week we are working on a different topic, question, chart placement, etc. Feel free to become a regular, or drop by whenever you wish. 🌙 We will begin the session with an introduction of all participants ⭐ We will then guide you through various exercises in small groups, meant to help you to explore the wealth that astrology has in store for you. 💬 The session will conclude with an open discussion, and a chance to ask any questions. **Who Should Attend:** This session is open to complete beginners 🌱 as well as those who have experience with astrology. It is recommended to have your birth chart available. To generate your chart, I recommend using the website ***astro.com*** 💰This event is offered COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE but donations are more than welcome.

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s?

**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.
