Coding Club 💻❤️
**Hey everybody!**
Do you want to code together, share your projects, or just hang out in a creative atmosphere?
Then join us at the **Coding Club @ Jo&Joe Hostel**!
We usually start with a short introduction round so everyone can get to know each other.
After that, you can:
* share your achievements or pet projects (informal, just at the table)
* get feedback or inspiration from others
* or simply work on your own project alongside the group
Bring your laptop (or any device you like to code on) if you want to actively work.
Or just come by to connect and get inspired.
Please try to be on time so we can kick things off together.
Looking forward to seeing you there! 🚀

-----------------
Hey Badminton Enthusiasts!
This meet-up is for all levels: beginners, intermediates and experts. Everyone is welcome to join, test their skills and have some fun together!

We are meeting at about 10:25 am near the reception by the lounge area (next to the courts). Come a bit earlier so you have time to change into workout/sports clothes. The locker rooms are free to use, but for the men lockers you need a padlock - or you can also take your bag of clothes upstairs to the courts if you do not have a padlock. Also, bring clean indoor sports shoes, your racket and a water bottle with you.
There is a drinking fountain available if you need to replenish your bottle.
If you do not have a racket, it is possible to rent rackets from the club, if necessary (3€). Sometimes the host or other members have spare rackets - please ask in the comment section below!
If you are joining our events for the first time, WELCOME! Let the host know that you are new and they will find a place for you. Don't worry, we are an open and friendly group. We are sure you will develop connections with the people in our community in no time!
Without further ado - let's play some badminton and have fun together!

Lachflash Comedy Open Mic – Dein Sonntag @TheComedyPub endet mit Lachen
**Deutschsprachiges Comedy Open Mic in Wien. Lachflash statt Tatort – der perfekte Sonntagabend mit neuen Comedians & freiem Eintritt.**
# [HOL DIR DEINE TICKETS HERE!!!](https://www.universe.com/events/lachflash-comedy-open-mic-dein-sonntag-thecomedypub-endet-mit-lachen-tickets-8QGW97?ref=MeetUp)
Sonntagabend und du überlegst, ob du dich mit Netflix aufs Sofa wirfst oder dich schon auf den Montag vorbereitest? Falsch gedacht! 😏 Wien hat jetzt eine bessere Antwort: **Lachflash Comedy Open Mic**. Jeden Sonntag um 18:00 wird *The Comedy Pub* zur Bühne für deutschsprachige Stand-up-Comedy – roh, echt, witzig, manchmal absurd und immer überraschend. Der perfekte Wochenend-Ausklang für alle, die nicht aufhören wollen zu lachen.
**Lachflash Comedy Open Mic** ist das große Finale des Wochenendes. Hier bekommst du einen wilden Mix aus **Newcomern**, die ihre ersten Schritte auf der Bühne machen, und **erfahrenen Comedians**, die neues Material ausprobieren. Manchmal entstehen hier Jokes, die in ein Jahr später in Specials oder Fernsehsendungen landen. Manchmal scheitert ein Gag glorreich – und genau das sorgt für die lautesten Lacher des Abends.
Mit **vielen Comedians pro Show** (oft mehr als 10!) erwartet dich ein abwechslungsreicher Abend:
* Überraschende neue Stimmen, die dich mit ganz frischem Humor überraschen
* Kreative Experimente, die kein Mainstream-Comedy-Club sich trauen würde
* Scharfe Pointen von erfahrenen Comedians, die genau wissen, wie man eine Crowd zum Toben bringt
Kein Sonntag gleicht dem anderen. Jede Show hat ein komplett neues Line-up – das macht **Lachflash** zu einer Serie, die man immer wieder besuchen kann.
Und das Beste: Hier ist das Publikum nicht nur dabei, sondern ein aktiver Teil des Abends. Deine Lacher, dein Applaus, dein Staunen – all das beeinflusst, wie die Comedians ihre Jokes entwickeln.
## 🤔 Was ist ein Open Mic?
Ein Open Mic ist das Herzstück der Stand-up-Szene. Es ist keine perfekt inszenierte Show – sondern ein Ort, an dem Comedy entsteht. Hier probieren Comedians ihre neuesten Texte aus, feilen am Timing, improvisieren mit dem Publikum und lernen, was funktioniert.
Das heißt:
* Manchmal knallt ein Joke sofort – und alle feiern.
* Manchmal floppt eine Pointe – und genau daraus wird ein unvergesslicher Moment.
* Immer aber ist es spannend, nahbar und authentisch.
Wenn du echte Comedy erleben willst – ohne Filter, ohne Drehbuch, ohne Sicherungsnetz – dann ist ein Open Mic genau dein Ding. Und **Lachflash Comedy Open Mic** ist Wiens neue Adresse dafür am Sonntag.
## 🍻 The Comedy Pub – Das Zuhause der Stand-up-Comedy in Wien
Die Show findet im **The Comedy Pub** (Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Wien) statt – Wiens erster und einziger echter Comedy-Club. Während andere Bars ab und zu Comedy hosten, ist das hier das Zentrum einer Szene.
Oben erwartet dich ein gemütlicher Irish Pub mit Drinks, Snacks und freundlicher Atmosphäre. Unten im Altbaukeller – oder im offenen Pub-Bereich – wird jede Woche Stand-up gespielt, getestet und gefeiert. Die Location ist bekannt für ihr **nahbares, internationales Publikum** und ihr warmes, intimes Ambiente.
Und das Beste: mit der U-Bahn-Station **Kettenbrückengasse (U4)** direkt vor der Tür bist du in wenigen Minuten mitten im Geschehen.
## 💡 Eintritt frei – Spenden willkommen
Comedy lebt von Community. Damit möglichst viele Menschen Stand-up erleben können, ist der Eintritt frei. Aber: Lachen ist wertvoll – und wenn du einen **Lachflash** hattest, dann zeig das! Am Ende der Show geht ein Hut rum, in den du geben kannst, was es dir wert war. Fair, direkt und die ehrlichste Form von Applaus.
## 🎟️ Regeln fürs Publikum
Damit die Show für alle ein Erlebnis wird, bitten wir dich um ein paar einfache Dinge:
* Sei pünktlich – die Türen öffnen 17:30, Showstart ist 18:00.
* Hör zu und respektiere die Bühne – Comedians geben hier alles.
* Lachen ist Pflicht – und zwar ohne Zurückhaltung!
* Kein Heckling – die Gags kommen von den Profis. 😉
* Spenden sind willkommen – support your local comedy!
## 🎉 Warum Sonntag?
Viele denken: Sonntagabend = Couch, Serien, früh ins Bett. Aber warum so trist? **Lachflash Comedy Open Mic** ist der perfekte Gegenentwurf: eine Show voller Energie, Lachen und Überraschungen – bevor der Montag wieder ernst wird.
* Es ist der **perfekte Wochenend-Ausklang** – Comedy statt Tatort!
* Ein Fixpunkt, der dich mit einem Lächeln in die Woche schickt.
* Ein Raum, in dem du neue Comedians entdeckst, die du sonst nie gesehen hättest.
* Und: die einzige regelmäßige deutsche Comedy-Show am Sonntag in Wien – im einzigen Comedy Club der Stadt.
Kurz gesagt: Sonntag gehört jetzt nicht mehr dem Montagsblues, sondern dem Lachflash.

Krems–Dürnstein Panorama Loop: Spring Views & Castle Ruins
Hi everyone,
On **Sunday, April 5**, 2026, I’m planning a beautiful spring hike in the UNESCO World Heritage region of Wachau, following a scenic **circular route** **from Krems** via the Hohen Markstein, the Fesslhütte and the famous **castle ruins of Dürnstein**, before **returning to** **Krems**.
Along the way, we pass quiet natural areas, historic stone vineyard terraces, and enjoy wide panoramic views before returning to the charming town of Krems.
This hike is all about **walking, wide views, and enjoying the landscape together** — with plenty of time for conversation, short breaks, and simply being outdoors.
**Fitness Note:**
Although we will walk at a relaxed pace, the hike requires moderate physical effort due to its length (about 18 km).
The trails themselves are not technically difficult, but a reasonable level of fitness is needed to comfortably complete the distance.
**Highlights**
🌄 Beautiful walk from historic **Krems to Dürnstein** through classic Wachau vineyard scenery
🏘️ Charming old towns of **Krems and Stein** with narrow streets and centuries-old architecture
🏰 Visit the famous **castle ruins of Dürnstein**, where King Richard the Lionheart was once imprisoned
🌸 Late March to mid-April is peak season for the famous **Wachau Marillenblüte (apricot blossoms)**. With a bit of luck, we’ll walk right through blooming apricot trees — one of the most beautiful sights of spring in Austria
**Meeting Point & Travel**
📍 **Meeting point:** Franz-Josefs-Bahn station at **07:30 a.m.**, near the ticket machines to buy the group ticket. If you arrive too late for the group ticket you have to buy your own ticket individually, the best choice is likely the **VOR Freizeitticket**. Information regarding the tickets at the end of the post.
The train leaves at **08:00** from **Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof**. We will arrive in **Krems** at **09:08**.
**Hike Details**
**Duration:** Approx. 6.5 hours (pure walking time)
**Distance:** Approx. 18 km
**Elevation:** 300m up / 300m down
**Difficulty:** **Medium** (partly considered demanding due to the length)
More information on the trail:
https://www.bahn-zum-berg.at/waldviertel/fesslrunde-von-krems/
Trains back from Krems to Vienna run every hour.
**What to Expect**
We’ll walk together at a **relaxed, social pace**, staying as a group throughout the day.
This is **not a race or performance hike** — the focus is on shared experience, conversation, and enjoying the landscape at an unhurried rhythm.
We’ll take regular short breaks whenever useful.
🥪 We don’t plan to stop at huts or restaurants during the hike, so please bring your own snacks and drinks (at least **1.5 liters of water**).
🌧️ Weather can be changeable, so **basic rain protection is recommended**.
🥾 Please wear **sturdy hiking shoes**. Some sections may be muddy, depending on the weather.
🦯 Trekking poles can be a great help for extra stability if we encounter any muddy patches.
Please note that **there are no public toilets on the trail itself**.
There is a public toilet in **Dürnstein** before we start the hike and another one in **Krems** at the end. If we are lucky, we may also pass an open **Heuriger** along the way.
**Important Notes**
⚠️ **Disclaimer:** As always, this is a free, private leisure activity. I’m not a certified hiking guide, and participation is at your own responsibility and risk.
I will send a **weather update on Thursday evening** to everyone registered.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Looking forward to sharing this **spring day in the Wachau** with you 🌸
Jörg

**\*The "Einfach-raus" Group Ticket**
We will use a group ticket, and it requires some coordination:
**How it works:**
It is one ticket for a group of 2–5 people.
We will form these groups at the meeting point at 07:30; please be on time if you want to participate.
You must travel together for both the departure and the return journey.
You cannot split off and take a different train home if you are on a group ticket.
**The cost:**
The more people in a group, the cheaper it gets.
Expect to pay between €10 and €19 per person.
To be fair, we can either pay by specific group size or pool all the money and split it equally.
**Cash is mandatory:**
Please bring physical cash and coins.
We need to collect the money before buying the tickets to make sure everyone gets their change back quickly.
**Information regarding this ticket:**
[https://www.oebb.at/en/tickets-kundenkarten/freizeit-urlaub/einfach-raus-ticket](https://www.oebb.at/en/tickets-kundenkarten/freizeit-urlaub/einfach-raus-ticket)
If you prefer not to be tied to a group, or if you aren’t sure when you want to head back to Vienna, do not join the group ticket.
Instead, buy the VOR Freizeitticket; it costs €19.90 for the day in Lower Austria.
This will also be your option if you arrive too late for the group ticket or one group doesn't have enough participants for a group ticket.

Sunday Screenings in the Living Room
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/)**.

CBusData: The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again.
We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all.
Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.
