Academics

As always, in Japan, they have found a word for it: ichigo-ichie = one time, one meeting. Be present. Fully. With the people in front of you. [Priya Parker](https://www.linkedin.com/events/#)'s “The Art of Gathering” feels like the right book at this moment. She's trained in conflict resolution, as conflict is what defines our time currently. Her question is simple: why do we gather? Not to fill a calendar slot. Not to perform connection. But because somewhere beneath the noise of late-stage individualism, we still know we need each other. There is nowhere lonelier than inside a crowd. And yet, we keep showing up. Calling for community. Searching for belonging. Maybe the real art isn't just gathering more. It's learning how to be truly together when we do. How do we design the spaces where people actually connect? Join the Kokoro Book Club! 📆 When? On the 21st of May ⏱️ Time: 19:00 📍Where: At Olinda Bar, Schönbrunnerstraße 23, 1050 Wien Happy to see you 🙃 **#Kokoro** **#TheArtOfGathering** **#Community** **#Belonging** **#Leadership**

In this talk, I'll share how I built angular-typed-router, a drop-in replacement that infers every valid path directly from your route configuration. You'll see the developer experience in action — full autocomplete, compile-time validation — and learn how interface augmentation, template literal types, and recursive conditionals make it work at zero runtime cost. **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-❤️🤝❤️ Sponsors ❤️🤝❤️ \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** **PushBased** PushBased is a close-knit group of IT experts offering their knowledge and services in #Angular #RxJS #NestJS #JavaScript #TypeScript #webperf #Nx and more.

We’ve partnered with our friends from Angular Vienna to bring you an amazing evening of talks, networking, and spring energy! **Angular & MRDS** Angular is an enterprise-grade framework for building modular frontends. It seamlessly integrates with the complex communication patterns and asynchronous data streams typical of modern distributed and reactive architectures. Some of you may remember our past event about a **Micro Frontend Plugin System** built with Angular. If you are curious to hear what insights have emerged since then, this is the perfect opportunity to follow up! **RSVP** Please make sure to **RSVP on the [Angular Vienna](https://www.meetup.com/angular-vienna/events/314162066) page** to secure your spot! **The Highlights** 🗣️ Expert speakers 🎓 Knowledge sharing on the latest in Angular 🎫 Raffles with cool prizes 👥 Meet old and new friends from the community 🍻 Free drinks 🍕 Free food 🎉 Open-end networking ✔️ Just RSVP! **Location:** LEAN-Coders, Hainburger Straße 33 **Agenda:** 18:00 – Warm-up 18:15 – Meetup Intro 18:30 – Dominic Bachmann 19:15 – Pizza Break (30 mins) 19:45 – Robert Maier-Silldorff 20:30 – Break (15 mins) 20:45 – Raffle 21:00 - Outro & Open-End **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🗣️🗣️🗣️ Talks 🗣️🗣️🗣️ \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** **Robert Maier\-Silldorff \- iteratec \| [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-maier-silldorff-71464ab2/)** **Microfrontend-Plugin-System: Architecture, Challenges, and Lessons Learned** This talk shares the story behind a microfrontend-based plugin system we built for a large enterprise customer.

If you’re attending ViennaUP and want to actually move your ideas forward. This is a structured coworking session for people who want to follow through and get it done. To join, please register here (takes 1–2 minutes): [https://nocrastination.space/](https://nocrastination.space/) **We like a touch of mystery!** **The exact location will be sent to you by email 24 hours before the session. Please make sure to register in advance.** Join our [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/K6LidaoQhe16wZ0Se9pNM6?mode=gi_t). Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nocrastinationclub/) You just haven’t been able to follow through. You start things, lose momentum and find yourself starting over again. You’re not alone. Most people get support at the beginning. And applause at the end. But the part that actually matters? The middle. The quiet, repetitive, sometimes frustrating part where nothing feels exciting, and everything depends on showing up. **That’s where we are.** At NoCrastination, we don’t meet for hype. We meet to **show up and finish something, together.** Not perfectly. Not magically. Just consistently. **What this really is** This is a space for people who are: * building something * figuring things out * or simply trying to stay on track **without doing it alone** You don’t need to be an entrepreneur. You just need something you want to move forward. **What happens here** You bring something you’ve been putting off. We sit down together. We focus. And you leave with something done. That’s it. And that’s everything. **Why people keep coming back** * “I finally follow through on what I plan” * “I leave with real progress every time” **Time and Location** 🕐 **Time:** 9:30 AM – 12:30 NOON 💻 **Bring:** Your laptop, journal, or anything you’ve been avoiding **Hosted by**: NoCrastination. See you across from the ground floor bar ✨ you will see us sitting at the long table with our laptops ☕ Please do order something from the local host, so as to keep us in their good graces! **How it works** * **9:30–9:45 → arrival + soft intro + set your task** * **Deep focus sessions (2 x 45’ + 15’ breaks)** * Quiet focus + optional social space * Drop in anytime, stay as long as you want Simple structure. Real progress. **First time joining?** We are near the ground floor bar 💛 We’ll get you settled. **This is for you if:** * You keep starting but don’t finish * You feel stuck working alone * You want structure — without pressure * You want to express yourself AND move forward **What you’ll get** Not motivation. Not a productivity hack. **You’ll get: ONE THING DONE.** And then you come back, and do it again. **This is how it starts** You don’t need to commit to anything big. Just come once. Pick one thing. Finish it. We’ll be there. As we’re growing and improving the experience, we’re moving to a more structured system. Registration is part of participating. **Stay connected** Join our [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/K6LidaoQhe16wZ0Se9pNM6?mode=gi_t) Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nocrastinationclub/) This is a space you can keep coming back to. **You’re not behind. You’re just in the middle.** And you don’t have to go through it alone. You are one of us.

This meditations take place in the beautiful space of the Vienna Atelier of Traditional Art 🌿 Inspired by practices of eastern spiritual traditions (e.g. Qigong and TaiJi) we explore and connect during this evening several facets of our human experience: • Effortless movement and sensing deep into the inner field of the body ♒︎ Breathing consciously and chanting mantras or medicine songs ॐ Guiding attention to release and rest in the open space of awareness _ The fee for the event is €12 (€10 reduced) No prior experience needed Light snacks and drinks are available during the breaks

Hey Community, **Important:** Please register via the external link (not only on Meetup), as seats are limited due to room capacity. ⇒ **[Link to register for the meetup](https://techtalk.at/answering-questions-with-stories-with-alistair-cockburn/)**[!](https://techtalk.at/answering-questions-with-stories-with-alistair-cockburn/) What happens when one of the co-authors of the Agile Manifesto doesn’t give a talk — but answers your questions with stories? Join us for an interactive, Q&A-driven evening with **[Alistair Cockburn](https://training.techtalk.at/trainer-in/dr-alistair-cockburn/)**. Instead of slides or prepared lectures, Alistair responds to your questions with real stories from decades of working in complex environments — often detailed, sometimes unexpected, occasionally humorous — but always insightful. Stories convey more than opinions. They reveal context, trade-offs, and real decisions. So bring your questions: * About agile beyond frameworks * About architecture and incremental development * About leadership and collaboration * About AI and modern delivery * Or anything else you’ve always wanted to ask In this session, Alistair’s only rule is simple: He answers with a story — not a theory. **Agenda** 🕡 **18:00** – Doors open at TechTalk 🕕 **18:15** – Intro & "*Answering Questions with Stories"* 🕗 **19:30** – 🍕Food & 🍻Drinks sponsored by [TechTalk](https://techtalk.at/) 🎉 If you’re curious, reflective, or just enjoy thoughtful discussions — this evening is for you. Cheers, Milena ***

We will meet in a calm and friendly place ( Parc, Café, Restaurant) to explore together some of Jiddu Krishnamurti’s key questions about awareness, relationship, and freedom. There will be no teaching, no authority — only open dialogue and attentive listening. Everyone is welcome, whether you are familiar with Jiddu Krishnamurti or simply curious about life and self-understanding. We’ll start with an open conversation around a theme such as “Listening without judgment” or “Can thought bring clarity?” Please bring openness, curiosity, and a readiness to listen — no books or notes needed. The spirit is not to discuss “what should be,” but to observe together “what is.”

I need to close the registration 24h before the event as I will then have to decide whether to cancel any court due to a shortage of players. The fee per player will be €10.00 for 2 hours. This will also cover the feather shuttles used during play. Please be on time as a curtesy to the other players. In addition, if you are on the players' list and don't come (i.e. no show), you will be automatically excluded from this group.

Welcome to our cozy **The Psychology and Personal Growth Circle** which is part of the Social Book Club! We will meet to discuss the book “**How to Win Friends & Influence People**" (288 pages) written by Dale Carnegie. The idea is to connect with like minded readers that love to grow and get to know themselves better through reading and especially applying knowledge from books. We meet up once a month and talk about our progress applying knowledge from a certain book and our experience. The event will take place at the volunteer organisation **MUT**. It is an organisation to supports humans, animals and the environment especially in Vienna. MUT or the Social Book Club look forward to some donation to cover the cost of this event. If you would like to help, please bring some cash with you. Book Description: *You can go after the job you want...and get it! You can take the job you have...and improve it! You can take any situation you're in...and make it work for you!* *As relevant as ever before, Dale Carnegie's principles endure, and will help you achieve your maximum potential in the complex and competitive modern age.* *Learn the six ways to make people like you, the twelve ways to win people to your way of thinking, and the nine ways to change people without arousing resentment.* See you then! All the best Sebastian

Marchfeldkanal Cycle Path – from the source to the mouth Fancy a demanding ride that isn’t at race pace? We’ll ride the entire Marchfeldkanal Cycle Path: from the source in Langenzersdorf to the mouth near Hainburg. Flat, fast, and scenically varied—ideal for rolling along at a brisk pace. **Course:** [https://www.bergfex.at/sommer/niederoesterreich/touren/wanderung/4988938,marchfeldkanalradroute/](https://www.bergfex.at/sommer/niederoesterreich/touren/wanderung/4988938,marchfeldkanalradroute/) * Distance: approx. 60 km * Elevation gain: practically none * Pace: average 21–23 km/h * Not relaxed, but not race pace either. We’ll ride briskly and steadily. * Bike type: Gravel or mountain bike recommended (treaded tires helpful) * Meeting point: We’ll meet at the bike parking at Langenzersdorf train station. * Start: 12:00 * Planned finish: approx. 15:30 **Pace & Group Dynamics** * Target pace: 21–23 km/h on average over the entire route. * Riding style: Drafting encouraged, steady pulls, no hard accelerations. * We ride as a single group with “regroup” points after open sections or at intersections. * If the pace is consistently too high for you, please speak up—we’ll try to regroup, but we’ll maintain the target pace. **Breaks & Supplies** * Breaks: depending on group preference, either one longer break OR 2–3 shorter stops (snack, water, photos). * Please bring enough food and water (at least 1.5–2 L, depending on the weather). There are places to refill, but not everywhere. **Gear** * Helmet, spare tube/plug, pump/CO₂, multitool, quick link, chain lube. * Weather-appropriate clothing, wind/rain jacket. * Lights (front/rear) in case the ride back runs later. * Map/GPS (GPX track can be provided on request). **Arrival & Return** * Start point: directly at Langenzersdorf train station—easy to reach by train. * Return: This is not a loop—you’re responsible for your own trip home. * Option 1: Ride approx. 35 km back towards Vienna with the organizer (to just outside Vienna). From there, it’s at least another 15 km solo to the city center. * Option 2: Ride about 10 km to the nearest train station: * Marchegg Bahnhof * Hainburg/Donau * Please check connections/timetables in advance if you plan to take the train. **Schedule** * 12:00 Start * En route: short stops or one longer break * Approx. 15:30 Arrival at the mouth in Hainburg **Safety & Rules** * Follow traffic laws; be considerate of other cyclists, pedestrians, and nature. * Use hand signals/calls for obstacles and direction changes. * Personal responsibility: You ride at your own risk; please only join if your bike is maintained and you feel fit. **Interested?** * Please let us know if you’re coming so we can get a headcount. * Questions (e.g., GPX, return options, weather): just ask. We’re looking forward to a fast, flat canal ride—brisk, focused, and with good vibes!

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia

In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** TBD
