Let’s meet up for Django, practical AI tooling and good conversations—pizza included.
**Agenda highlights**
* **Django 6.0 + HTMX 4.0 — A Perfect Match**

* **Back to the Future of Programming (Part II)... with Django and Agents**
Rafael continues from his [recent blog post](https://rafael.cordones.me/posts/2026/02/22/back-to-the-future-of-programming-with-basic/) with [RAGtime](https://github.com/rafacm/ragtime), a Django app that ingests jazz podcast episodes. When podcast sites block downloads, an AI agent steps in to fix the pipeline — real code and a discussion about agentic AI in Django.

After Sunset Photo Walk - Lerchenfelder Gürtel
Join me for a photo walk through the city :)
We will gather at sunset (18.00) on the top of the Viennas city library (Burggasse Stadthalle), where we will have a short introduction and take photos from the roof & stairs. We will then make our way to both sides- first Urban-Loritz-Platz, then to Burggasse Gablenzgasse. At the end of the walk everyone is welcome to join for a warm drink at a nearby cafe.
The event is free of charge but will be limited to max 10 people as it is meant as an opportunity to connect. It is suitable for all regardless of age/level/gear.
IMPORTANT: as these events are usually full, please make sure to cancel at least 24h in advance if you see you aren´t able to make it. Failing to do so will result in a ban from the next 3 events.

Shoot Vienna earlies: Blossom in Stadtpark
This walk aims to encourage you to shoot Vienna in a new light; one early in the morning. We'll be capturing the beautiful scenes of Stadtpark along with some of its blossoming trees first thing in the morning, along with commuters heading to work, and people heading to cafés for an early morning caffeine fix 🌸
The walk includes views of the beautiful Otto Wagner architecture around Stadtpark U-Bahn station, and of course the park itself with views of the Wiental Kanal. Some of the cherry blossom is now in full glory, so there should be some nice colourful scenes 📸
This will be an opportunity to meet with other photographers, and a chance to get some shooting tips along the way from a photographer featured by The Guardian, BBC and Time Out.
All are welcome - whether you're a tourist or a local.
All events take place in English.
To bring with you on the day:
* Mobile phone (to contact me if you get lost!)
* Warm clothing and comfortable shoes
* 50 cent coins may be required for use of the toilets
* Any kind of camera as long as you know how to use it (it’s not a workshop on how to use a camera): digital, analogue, mobile phone
Cost: €10 per person by Paypal (Please message me if that's not an option and you need to pay cash at the event). Please note that this walk doesn't include my presentation, due to its short timespan.

The Future of Leadership: Workflow-Embedded Skills Development
**Kokoro's first in a series of events for learning, real stories, and practical strategies.**
**About this event:**
Join us on 26 March in Vienna for an evening where we'll explore how leaders actually develop capability - not in classrooms, but inside work itself.
**Agenda:**
**16:00 – Arrive, connect over drinks and nibbles**
**16:30 – The Future of Leadership: Workflow-Embedded Skills Development**
* Why traditional leadership development isn't transferring to practice
* What leaders actually need in 2026 (and it's not just another model)
* What workflow embedded skills development actually looks like - real examples from teams we've worked with
**17:30 – Interactive Workshop: Building the Leadership Skills Your Organisation Needs**
* Learn about ways to build people skils hands-on
* Work through a real leadership challenge with peers
* Leave with practical next steps for your context
**19:30 – Networking**
* Wine, food (gluten-free and vegan options available)
* Connect with people facing similar challenges
**16:00 – Arrive, connect over drinks and nibbles**
**Why this matters**
Leadership development is broken. Organisations invest heavily, leaders attend programmes, certificates get handed out - and then nothing changes.
The problem isn't lack of frameworks. It's the gap between learning and doing.
In the coming years, leadership development must shift from event-based training to workflow-embedded practice.
At Kokoro, we've spent years answering one question: how do you empower leaders to create the conditions for sustained performance, genuine motivation, and teams that thrive?
At this event, we bring leaders, teams, L&D professionals, and organisations who are committed to making that shift. Together, we will develop steps to make it real.
**Who is this for**
You're leading a team, department, or organisation. You're in L&D and see that traditional programmes aren't transferring to practice. You run an SME and need practical ways to develop leaders without the corporate overhead.
You've sent people to leadership programmes and watched them return motivated, and then not being able to transfer the skills in to work. You know the theory-practice gap is real. You want skills development that builds into daily workflows, not outside them.
**Event Details**
📆 Thursday, 26 March 2026
⏰ 16:30–19:30 (Arrive from 16:00)
**📍**Olinda Bar, Schönbrunner Str. 23, 1050 Vienna

**About Kokoro**
Kokoro was founded in 2018 because we believed the way performance is measured and optimised is broken. We work with leaders and teams to build resilient, high-performing cultures where people can learn, grow, and thrive - even amid complexity and change.
We do this through our team and leadership development software and services like one-on-one coaching, team development, organisational consulting that help leaders turn intention into habit. Our approach draws on evidence from flow theory, motivation science, neurobiology, and real-world practice with teams across various industries and sizes.
Visit [bekokoro.com](https://www.bekokoro.com/) to learn more.
**Join the Kokoro community**
This is our first of 4 gatherings in 2026 - a chance to (re)connect with people making real change happen, and to introduce you to what we're building. If the culture and performance challenges you face resonate, we'd love to work with you.
Looking forward to seeing you on 26 March.

Badminton for Intermediate Players (Thu 19.00h-21.00h) U3 Kendlerstraße
Hey Badminton Enthusiasts!
**This meet-up is only for intermediate players and up!**
Everyone is welcome to join our large weekly events, test their skills and have some fun together! However, ***this event is for the people that want to push their skill forward and would like to play during the week as well.***
The host will reserve courts in advance, that means please only register if you really plan to come (or cancel at least 24 hours before the event starts). The fee for this event is 12€:
* If you plan on paying in cash, please bring the exact amount as the host might not have any change available
* you can also pay via card on the spot
We are meeting at about 18.55 pm 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.
If you are just passing through town and do not have a racket, it is possible to rent rackets, either from the club or from us. 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!** We are an open and friendly group and we are sure you will develop connections with the people in our community in no time!
Without further ado - let's play some (intermediate) badminton and have fun together!

Execution with Style — Vienna Co-Working Lab
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. 💚

The War Room: Intro to War Gaming at The Arcane Foundry
**⚔️ Introduction to Wargaming & Painting Miniature Soldiers at The Arcane Foundry ⚔️**
Join me in **The War Room at [The Arcane Foundry](https://share.google/S5i6DYJnJteHWeKtd)** for a laid-back evening of hobby talk and tabletop fun! For just **$25**, you’ll get a **3D-printed regiment of 20 high quality resin models** of your choice to paint — a **$40-70 value!** Bring your creativity, relax, and let’s make something awesome together.
This is a limited time promotional offer. All regiments are made to order and require **4-5 hours of production time**, so please give me at least a **5 day notice**, so I can have them ready for you!
All miniatures are printed with a commercial license.
**Choose one from Below:**
* 20 Empire Soldiers
* 20 Dwarf Warriors
* 20 Elf Spearmen
Step into a world where strategy meets artistry — and where every painted figure tells a story of battle, honor, and imagination. Join **Daclaud** at **The Arcane Foundry** for an evening that introduces newcomers and enthusiasts alike to the timeless craft of **tabletop wargaming** and **miniature painting**.
My own journey began with a fascination for fantasy — knights in armor, grim and hardened warriors, and monstrous creatures locked in epic battle. That passion led me to **Dungeons & Dragons**, where I painted my first **Basic Heroes set** and felt the spark that comes from bringing a character to life in miniature form. Not long after, I discovered **Warhammer Fantasy** and **Warhammer 40,000**, and I was hooked. The vision of vast armies clashing across the table — each unit meticulously painted, each story unfolding through dice and imagination — became my creative obsession.
During this event, we’ll explore the **origins of wargaming**, from its early military simulations to the richly detailed worlds of modern tabletop battle systems. You’ll learn how to **build and customize your own armies**, paint your first figures, and experience the joy of turning strategy and storytelling into a hands-on art form.
Whether you’re drawn by the lore, the hobby, or the thrill of commanding miniature legions, this introduction will open the gates to a world that has captivated hobbyists for generations.
**🎨 RSVP today and join us at The Arcane Foundry — where every brushstroke and battle tells a story.**

**Abstract**
Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively.
This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way.
