Dear Data Enthusiasts, Join us this time at TU the Sky on **the 9th of March** to explore how data science and machine learning are powering the energy transition — from battery storage investment to energy volume forecasting and electricity trading for distributed energy resources. A big thanks goes to our co-organizers from the [AI Factory Austria](https://ai-at.eu/), who supports researchers and companies in accessing advanced computing know-how and infrastructure for applications in life sciences among other scientific domains. This time, we will have 3 speakears and a round table of discussion. **Comparative Case Study: Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Malaysia, Germany and United Kingdom – BESS Pilot Market Assessment** The presentation compares five grid-scale BESS pilot markets—Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Malaysia, Germany, and the UK—using a standardized project-finance and credit-risk framework to make IRRs and NPVs comparable. It models 15-year assets with consistent capex/opex, leverage rules (higher for contracted revenue, lower for merchant), and country risk, inflation, FX, and degradation impacts. Saudi Arabia offers the highest certainty and strong returns via sovereign contracted payments. Brazil is contracted but weakened by inflation/FX and immature market design. Malaysia is large but has blended, hard-to-hedge activation risk. Germany and the UK offer higher upside through merchant revenue stacking but face volatility and regulatory uncertainty. **[Sebastian Meyer](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sebastian-meyer-5651081/),** entrepreneur Sebastian Meyer is an energy transition professional with expertise in battery storage, power markets, and project finance. He started his career in banking combining equity capital markets work in Central and Eastern Europe and project finance in London. Energy transition work started with an equity sell-down engagement for one of Europe’s earliest offshore wind projects. Sebastian worked on commercializing clean and renewable technology as a founder and partner in Azure International Beijing from 2003 - 2016, ultimately heading Strategy & Power Markets for EDF Renewables in the context of China’s ongoing power sector liberalisation 2017 - 2020. After returning to Europe, Sebastian played a coordinating role in CCE’s first BESS project in Germany now operational since December, and he supports an Austrian BESS developer at this time. He recently completed the BatteryMBA executive programme (Cohort 14), deepening his understanding of the battery value chain, storage technologies, lifecycle economics and emerging business models, and co-authored a BESS pilot market assessment presented to industry peers. Based in Vienna, Austria, Sebastian positions himself at the nexus of energy finance, flexibility markets, and power system integration, with a focus on renewables and grid-scale storage. **Energy Volume Forecasting** This presentation explores how data science supports energy trading decisions in the context of dynamic electricity tariffs. It begins with an introduction to aWATTar’s dynamic tariffs, which allow customers to consume "Energy in Sync with Nature," benefit from market fluctuations, and participate in the green energy transition. The session then outlines the trading workflow behind tariff-based energy procurement, highlighting where uncertainty and risk emerge. Building on this context, it motivates the need for accurate total energy forecasting as a critical input for trading decisions. The second half of the talk dives deeper into the forecasting problem, covering data flow, feature engineering, modeling strategy, and deep learning architecture used to predict aggregated energy demand and production for trading purposes. It concludes by sharing lessons learned from deploying forecasting models in production and their impact on more efficient, data-driven energy trading. **[Ekin Kaan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ekin-kaan/),** *Machine learning engineering at aWATTar* Ekan is a Machine Learning Engineer at aWATTar, where he focuses on clustering, forecasting, and data-driven energy solutions. With a background in mathematics and theoretical physics, he enjoys uncovering patterns in data and turning them into actionable insights that create business impact. At aWATTar, he develops forecasting solutions that support smarter energy trading and contribute to a sustainable energy transition. **Unlocking Flex Trading for Consumers** As Europe's energy grid shifts toward renewables, price volatility on wholesale electricity markets is rising fast. Every connected household device — EVs, heat pumps, batteries, solar inverters — represents untapped flexibility that can be traded on these markets. The problem: until now, only large industrial assets and sophisticated utilities have been able to participate. So far, consumers have been locked out. In this talk, you will hear how to enable utilities to aggregate residential device flexibility and trade it on day-ahead and intraday electricity markets — turning thousands of small household assets into a coordinated virtual battery. **[Chris Bernkopf](https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisbernkopf-podero-flex-energy/),** *Podero* Chris Bernkopf has a degree in physics and data science. My journey as a founder started by selling t-shirts at 18. I burned my fingers in ed-tech and worked in e-mobility before building a procurement tool (YC W21). Since 2022, I've been building Podero, an electricity trading software for electric devices (DERs) for the world's leading utilities. **[www.podero.com](http://www.podero.com)** **Roundatble moderator:** **[Patrick Fodor](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pat-sc/),** *marbl.* Patrick is a physicist from Vienna, committed to energy trading, and developing intelligent energy trading systems for a decade.

In this talk, we’ll explore how Jakarta EE and MicroProfile provide the perfect foundation for AI-assisted and even autonomous application development. Drawing on practical experiments developing applications with the help of AI, I’ll demonstrate how modern AI-enhanced development tools can understand and generate Jakarta EE applications more effectively than ad-hoc or framework-specific codebases. Producing up-to-date code that works together much better than if assembled from various libraries or frameworks. We’ll also discuss the role of open standards in making application behavior predictable for AI, improving maintainability, testability, and avoiding vendor lock-in. You’ll leave with a clear picture of how enterprise Java can thrive in an AI-assisted future – and how your team can start leveraging AI tools today to boost productivity while staying grounded in proven architectures. *About Ondro Mihalyi* [Ondro Mihalyi](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mihalyiondrej/) is a Java Champion, leader of [CZJUG](https://jug.cz/), the Czech Java User Group, and a conference speaker.

Join our monthly “Queer Kegelabend”, which is mostly a pure fun event with a slight sportive touch. No previous experience required. Beginners and all genders most welcome! It is our ambition to welcome a broadly diversified crowd! Your own omfortable footwear might contribute to an enjoyable evening. **Schedule:** 1. 19:20 Get together 2. 19:25 Instructions (including safety), line-up of participants 3. 19:30 Getting started * *Latecomers unfortunately can´t be admitted.* * *Please bring a few EUR 1 coins to keep the coin operated machinery going.* There is no drinks or food service in the basement (Kegelbahn) of Café Weidinger. So feel free to order something on arrival and take it downstairs before we get started. Alternatively bring your own drinks or food. Yes, this is possible! Its chatting, meeting (new) people, catching-up with the ones you might already know from our monthly MeetUps at the HIVE or other events. Communication is key, like always. Let’s enjoy a nice evening together with a modest sportive touch on the side! **Please show respect to the others and arrive on time.** As we need to line-up the players before getting starteted, hence late comers unfortunately can´t be admitted. **What is skittles play (Kegeln)?** Skittles play has a very long tradition in Europe and is the game before the Americans "invented" bowling. So we will play with 9 pins and smaller balls with less weight compared to bowling. **Costs:** To rent the skittle alley is just EUR 8 per hour for the whole group. We will divide costs by the number of participants. So expect a contribution of around *EUR 2-3 for the whole evening*. The number of participants is limited. The machinery of the skittle alley is coin operated and accepts EUR 1 coins only. So please bring along a few EUR 1 coins to keep the machinery going! **Participation Fee:** To help cover the Meetup maintenance fee, we recommend a donation of 1-2 Euros directly to the organizers. **Results:** The results of the evening (Igo is so kind to count the scores and enters theses for each participant in a spreadsheet) are published in the "pictures" area of the MeetUp. Historic results are availble there. **Cafe Weidinger** has not been renovated over the last at least 50 years. The skittles alley dates from 1964. You can feel this "special flair". A bit shaby, but inexpensive fun for a whole evening. It´s almost a museum of a skittles alley. **The difference between bowling and skittles play**: * The bowling lanes are covered with an oil film, the skittles lane is not. * In bowling, the ball is is considerably larger and heavier. * Bowling lanes are slightly curved, our lane is flat. * Bowling balls have three holes, our balls have none, one or two. Most of our balls have two holes. * Nine pins are thrown instead of ten. * In bowling, the pins are set up by so-called pin-setter machines and therefore stand freely in contrast to skittles, where the pins hang from strings. * Our skittles lane is an asphalt lane. * You do not need to rent or bring special shoes llike for bowling. But to play in sneakers or sportive footwear is more comfortable.

KubeCon is around the corner, and to get you in the mood for this, you get the next **Cloud Native Vienna Meetup** \- and this time\, we’re stepping into the "Upside Down\." Join us at [karriere.at](karriere.at) for an evening of deep-dive technical sessions and high-bandwidth networking. Whether you're hunting for Demogorgons in your logs or just trying to scale your Internal Developer Platform, we’ve got you covered. Agenda: * 17:30 - Doors Open * 17:55 - Welcome from the Organizers * 18:00 - Talk 1: Manav Singh ([karriere.at](www.karriere.at)) - homelabbing@karriere.at - Enabling Devs to Break the Cloud * 18:45 - Break / Networking * 19:00 - Talk 2: Andi Grabner ([Dynatrace](www.dynatrace.com)) - Stranger Platform Engineering: The Two Sides of Observability in Your IDP * 19:45 - Networking \-\-\- Manav Singh **Homelabbing@karriere.at - Enabling Devs to Break the Cloud** \-\-\-\- Andi Grabner **Stranger Platform Engineering: The Two Sides of Observability in Your IDP** Your Internal Developer Platform lives in two worlds. In the **Right Side Up**, developers rely on self‑service observability to build, deploy, operate and debug their apps. In the **Upside Down**, the platform itself must be observable to ensure its reliability, performance, and to understand usage patterns and adoption. **The twist?** these two worlds are not separate. Improving observability *of* the platform directly improves the observability *for* the applications built on top of it. Just like in *Stranger Things*, observability becomes the force that connects both realities—creating feedback loops, strengthening the platform’s foundations, and enabling teams to spot issues before they cross between worlds. This talk reveals why mastering both sides of observability is essential for any modern IDP. Expect real-world examples, a few supernatural analogies, and practical guidance you can bring back to your platform team—no Demogorgon hunting required

Join us for an evening about visibility, marketing, and rebuilding digital communities in a post-AI world. This Meetup explores how we build presence and trust online today. From marketing WordPress products in an era of AI-generated noise to rethinking what healthy social media could look like, we’ll examine how developers, founders, and digital professionals can stand out, without losing authenticity. Instead of growth hacks and algorithm chasing, expect strong opinions, practical experience, and plenty of room for discussion. 🕡 18:30 live, SAE Vienna, Kaisersaal ⏱️ 18:45 – Rodolfo Melogli **“Marketing for Developers After AI + Live WooCommerce Q&A”** Marketing for developers has changed fast. With AI making content cheap and abundant, volume is no longer an advantage, it’s noise. In this talk, Rodolfo Melogli explains why personality, taste, and a clear point of view are now the real differentiators, especially for developers building WordPress products, plugins, or services. You’ll learn how to build a recognizable presence in public without chasing algorithms or trying to become an influencer. Instead, we’ll explore practical ways to turn everyday developer work, shipping features, solving support tickets, sharing opinions into marketing that actually works. The session concludes with a live WooCommerce Q&A, applying these ideas to real-world product and growth challenges developers face today. Rodolfo is an author, WooCommerce expert, and founder of [Business Bloomer](https://www.businessbloomer.com), [Checkout Summit](https://checkoutsummit.com), and WCWKLY. He has worked as an independent WooCommerce freelancer since 2011, helping entrepreneurs and developers overcome their WooCommerce challenges. Outside of work, he enjoys traveling, playing tennis and soccer, and of course, wood-fired oven pizza. ⏱️ 19:45 – Michael Eisenriegler **black•box 2026: Social Media as It Should Be** Founded in 1992, Black•Box was Austria’s first online community and anticipated many features that define today’s social media platforms. But back then, there were no manipulative algorithms, no bots, and far fewer trolls and fake accounts. In this talk, Michael Eisenriegler shares how the original spirit of Black•Box can be revived using modern technology. The goal: to create digital spaces where people feel comfortable, connect meaningfully, and can truly relax online again. We bring the “Social” back into Social Media. Michael Eisenriegler (born 1964) studied Communication Science and Political Science and has been working with digital networks as human communication spaces since 1990. He is co-founder and managing director of [MediaClan GmbH](https://www.mediaclan.at) and GenSoup GmbH. His focus areas include integrated communication strategies, social media consulting, and online genealogy. He also teaches Online Journalism at the University of Vienna. Whether you’re building WordPress products, running an agency, experimenting with AI-driven marketing, or rethinking what digital communities should look like in 2026, this Meetup will give you practical insights, fresh perspectives, and great conversations with fellow web professionals.
