Agenda (preliminary) 18:00 doors open 18:20 welcome 18:30 **A Tour of Ox 1.0: Direct-Style Concurrency and Resiliency** 19:30 break 20:00 **Maybe(!): "Orca: Deterministic, AI-driven development flows"** 20:00 **Maybe(!): "Sandcat: Docker & dev container setup for securely running AI agents"** 21:00 Networking **A Tour of Ox 1.0: Direct-Style Concurrency and Resiliency** Ox provides a toolkit for safe concurrency and resiliency for Scala on the JVM. After two years of prototyping, we’re delighted to showcase the final product. With Ox, you can build and deliver direct-style Scala applications today. In the code-first presentation, we’ll begin with concurrency (including lower-level structured concurrency scopes and higher-level concurrency operators). Next, we’ll proceed to Ox’s approach to error management and type safety in that area. We’ll then explore Ox’s direct-but-reactive streaming library before concluding with its built-in resiliency toolkit. Software is never finished, so we’ll also share what lies ahead for Ox specifically and our plans for direct-style Scala generally. **About Adam Warski** Adam Warski is the co-founder of SoftwareMill and head of R&D at VirtusLab, where he primarily generates code using Java, Scala, Rust and other interesting technologies. He is actively involved in open-source projects, such as Ox, Jox, Tapir, sttp, and others. He has also been a speaker at major conferences, including JavaOne, Devoxx, GeeCON and ScalaDays. In addition to writing closed- and open-source software, he spends his free time exploring various programming-related subjects. Any ideas or insights he gains usually end up on his blog ([https://warski.org/articles](https://warski.org/articles)). **Maybe(!): "Orca: Deterministic, AI-driven development flows"** Orca Flow scripts orchestrate coding agents. No need to try to convince the LLM that reviewing code until all review comments are fixed is a good idea - the script will ensure that's the way it will be done. No need to spend tokens on calling a code formatter, switch branches or creating PRs. Orca Flow scripts are written in Scala, and executable using scala-cli. That's the only component you'll need to install - everything else will be downloaded on-the-fly. Orca Flow scripts read like Python, but are type-safe, so you can know that your script will execute just fine. Orca works with Claude & Codex (now), but the plans are much wider than that! **Maybe(1): "Sandcat: a Docker & dev container setup for securely running AI agents** Sandcat is a Docker & [dev container](https://containers.dev) setup for securely running AI agents. The environment is sandboxed, with controlled network access and transparent secret substitution. All of this is done while retaining the convenience of working in an IDE like VS Code. All container traffic is routed through a transparent [mitmproxy](https://mitmproxy.org/) via WireGuard, capturing HTTP/S, DNS, and all other TCP/UDP traffic without per-tool proxy configuration. A straightforward allow/deny list-based engine controls which network requests go through, and a secret substitution system injects credentials at the proxy level so the container never sees real values.

***"Where does the mind stop and the rest of the world begin?"*** *Does our mind stop at the skull, like the brain? Or does it extend outward into notebooks, post-its, gadgets, and perhaps even other people?* In this session of **Marginal Thoughts**, we will explore how far our minds extend. Before the - hopefully mind-expanding - discussion, we will engage with the “Extended Mind Thesis” through a short interview with one of its proponents and a short story that exemplifies the idea: * [Video interview with Andy Clark](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc-TdMjuJRU), one of the proponents of the "Extended Mind" (\~13 min) * Short story by Jonathan Nolan: ["Memento Mori"](http://people.whitman.edu/~herbrawt/classes/110/Nolan.pdf) (\~25 min; alternatively available as an [audio version read by author](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqq2aSegXXI)) Here Clark suggests that destroying someone’s notes might amount to more than mere property damage, whereas Nolan’s protagonist uses notes precisely to commit more than mere property damage. **How to prepare** Watching the short interview and reading the story would be the minimal preparation. Some optional material is listed below. As you engage with the material, try to identify at least one point of curiosity, confusion, or uncertainty - these will be natural starting points for our discussion. **What to expect** This is an in-person, conversational meetup in English. The goal isn't to debate or lecture - it’s to explore ideas and leave with better questions than we arrived with. **Optional stuff for the extra curious** The interview with Andy Clark comes from a [longer video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSngHyD44OY) which also features David Chalmers, co-author of the [original paper](https://www.alice.id.tue.nl/references/clark-chalmers-1998.pdf) proposing the "Extended Mind Thesis". And given the topic of the session and the name of this Meetup group, it would be an omission not to mention the poem ["Marginalia"](https://allpoetry.com/Marginalia) by Billy Collins ([here](https://soundcloud.com/brainpicker/billy-collins-reads-marginalia) read by the author).

Please read everything! Check this event again on the day (weather updates, last‑minute changes, etc.). And please be polite: cancel your RSVP if you cannot attend. *** **Hello everyone!** Escape the workday for **Il Dolce Far Niente.** Let's meet this time at "**Der Garten"** at the Prater—a beautiful outdoor space perfect for a relaxed evening. Come enjoy some food and drinks in the fresh air as we toast to the art of doing absolutely nothing. Join me on this little adventure!

-Outdoor Functional Training for All Fitness Levels- Join us as we combine healthy, balanced movement with fun, gamified ideas to give you our unique FUNctional training! And in case that doesn’t really tell you what to expect, just think short intervals of exercise combined together in a playful and interactive way to help you strengthen your body in a sustainable way while allowing you to meet new people (and often even forget how hard you’re working out). As a reminder for those nervous about their fitness level: Everything we do, we do with all fitness levels in mind; so the exercises are always adjustable to your level and you’re always strongly encouraged to take it at your own pace - I mean, we’re not called My Pace for nothing! How to find us: We meet and train behind the calisthenics workout station on the Zirkuswiese of the Prater. Here a link to the location on Google maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/QdRPEaYTiavZbmVW7 Cost: In the interest of inclusivity, we've decided to make our sessions donations based here, so you're invited to pay what you can afford. If that actually makes you more uncomfortable and doesn't make it easier to come, know that we've received donations from €2 to €20 and they all made us very happy, because our primary goal is to get people moving and to show them it can be fun all in all. The money is secondary. One other thing that’s useful to know: - In the case of bad weather, we do have a back-up location that will protect us from the rain. Should we need to move, we will change the location of this event here. Please feel free to check back here before any event where you suspect bad weather or, even better, simply get in touch with us! We’re available via WhatsApp message or email. --- If you'd like to know more about My Pace, feel free to visit our website at https://www.mypace.at

**Was verbindet Equality, Pride, und Brompton?** Genau, für unseren nächsten Ride fahren wir entlang von fünf Artworks des Calle Libre Festivals 2026. Das diesjährige Festival steht unter dem Thema **„IN EQUALITY“**: eine Auseinandersetzung mit sozialen, kulturellen, wirtschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Ungleichheiten. Der Titel spielt bewusst mit zwei Bedeutungen: Ungleichheit als Realität unserer Welt und gleichzeitig in equality, die grundlegende Gleichheit, die uns als Menschen verbindet. Gemeinsam entdecken wir fünf Murals, die sich mit diesen Themen auseinandersetzen und erleben Wien dabei aus einer anderen Perspektive: auf dem Rad, in guter Gesellschaft, und mit genügend Zeit, die Kunstwerke auf uns wirken zu lassen. **Treffpunkt um 18:00 in der Brompton Junction Vienna.** Von dort starten wir gemeinsam unsere Tour durch die Stadt entlang den Calle Libre Artworks.

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/)**.

**WHERE!?** We will be in the downstairs Event Area at [Café Aera](https://aera.at/)! Tickets cost €21, and to guarantee you a seat, we recommend you book in advance at www.adrinkinggamevie.com. **WHAT??** A group of actors and a host perform a staged reading of a script in front of a live audience. When certain pre-determined phrases (buzzwords) are read out loud, a bell rings and the audience and/or actors take a sip from their drinks. Audience members are encouraged to participate, but are not required to drink alcohol. **HOW?** * No one under the age of 18 years is allowed to attend the show. * Anyone who has a beverage in hand can participate. A beverage is not required to watch the show, but it's more fun that way! * There are usually 4-5 buzzwords per show and they are articulated to the audience before the show starts. * Actors follow the same buzzwords as the audience as well as additional "actor-only" buzzwords. This is not a meetup exclusive event, so bring your friends, bring your parents, bring your co-workers, the more then merrier!

In this workshop, we move from the inner experience of anger to the relational field, exploring how empathy, active listening, and mindful communication support conflict transformation and nervous system co-regulation. Drawing from neuroscience, mindfulness, psychology, and non-violent communication (NVC), we learn how conflict can become an opportunity for understanding, connection, and shared humanity. Ideal for anyone wanting to navigate anger, stress, and conflict with more awareness, emotional intelligence, and compassion - in daily life, relationships, and communication. Please bring paper and a pen. Cash donation is appreciated. One third of the collected donations will be shared with the café, supporting this community space. The Mindful BAse x Villa Vida Where science meets mindfulness – for awareness, connection, and community.

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving." The film continues John Carney’s “long run of success with yet another charmer” and “a sharp, hopeful crowd-pleaser that strikes the right notes!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8!
