Cloud Networking

Join us for an Apache Kafka® meetup on Tuesday, June 9th from 5:30 pm hosted by Austrian Post AG! **Not an official dress code, but if you're in the mood to bring your "beach party outfit" it would be nice!** 📍**Venue:** Austrian Post AG Rochusplatz 1 1030 Vienna 🗓 **Agenda:** * 5:30pm: Doors open * 5:30pm – 6:00pm: Drinks and networking * 6:00pm - 6:45pm: How to discover schemas and topics for your next domain service * 6:45pm - 7:30pm: Kafka on Kubernetes: Building a Full-Stack Streaming Environment with Strimzi * 7:30pm - 9:00pm: Additional Q&A, Snacks and Networking 💡 **Speaker One**: Nicola Narducci (Austrian Post), Lukas Peleska (Austrian Post) **Title of Talk:** How to discover schemas and topics for your next domain service **Abstract:** At the foundation of every event driven system are schemas and topics describing what data is flowing through your system. Nico and Lukas will show what it takes for topics and schemas to show up in EventCatalog for data discovery. This includes their GitOps approach, how versioning, reviews, and automation helps them maintain consistency, enable self‑service, and avoid breaking changes in production. **Bio:** **Nico** joined Austrian Post in 2021, contributing to and leading the Event Streaming Platform as Solution Architect. His academic roots are in Bologna Italy. He started working as a software engineer in a small software house in Italy before moving to Vienna. Outside of work, he enjoys biking, video games (especially AoE2), eating pizza and tinkering with anything that can be connected to a network **Lukas** started working for Austrian Post in 2024 as a Software Engineer for the Event Streaming Platform. In his career he has mostly worked in enterprise environments with reactive systems playing a significant part everywhere. His first interactions with Kafka were in 2017. When not delivering Kafka Messages at Post, he likes watching old movies at the cinema, playing the guitar and doing analog photography. 💡**Speaker Two**: Sahil Sharma **Title of Talk:** Kafka on Kubernetes: Building a Full-Stack Streaming Environment with Strimzi **Abstract:** Running Apache Kafka on Kubernetes was once considered a daunting task. However, the Strimzi operator has simplified this process, making it possible to manage complex streaming infrastructure through a declarative approach. In this session, we will demonstrate how to bridge the gap between local development and production patterns by deploying a full-stack Kafka environment inside a Kind cluster. We will walk through a live setup including: * Cluster Provisioning: Using Strimzi to deploy a functional Kafka cluster in seconds. * Management & Visibility: Integrating Kafbat UI to inspect topics and messages. * Observability: Implementing a Grafana and Prometheus + AlertManager stack to track broker health and consumer lag. * Application Flow: Deploying a producer and consumer to validate the end-to-end data pipeline using Confluent library. * Whether you are building a local sandbox or planning a larger rollout, you will leave with a repeatable template for a fully observable Kafka ecosystem on Kubernetes. **Bio:** **Sahil** is a Cloud & Platform Engineer focused on building resilient infrastructure at the intersection of Kubernetes and cloud-native technologies.

This is a structured coworking session for people who want to follow through and get it done. 👉 **New here? You can join for just 2 hours to try it out.** 👉 Stay longer if you want to go deeper. 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.** **Execution with Style. You start, but don't finish. We help you get it done.** 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. **Why “Style”?** Because sometimes, the hardest part isn’t the task. It’s who you believe you are when you sit down to do it. When you wear something different, something bold, unusual, or expressive: you step slightly outside your usual identity. And in that small shift… It becomes easier to start. Easier to act. Easier to follow through. **Execution with Style** Each session, you’re invited to wear something you normally wouldn’t: * the jacket that never leaves your closet * something colorful, dramatic, or expressive * something funny, strange, or unexpected * something you feel like you “can’t pull off” No pressure. But if you join in, be ready to share the story behind it. **Self-expression + execution = momentum** **What this really is** This is a space for people who: * keep starting but don’t finish * are building something (or figuring it out) * don’t want to do it alone anymore **What happens here** You bring something you’ve been avoiding. We sit down together. We focus. And you leave with something done. **Why people come back** * “I finally follow through on what I plan” * “I leave with real progress every time” * “This is the only place I actually stay consistent” **How long should I join?** You don’t need to commit to the full session. **Option 1: Try it (2 hours, 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM)** Perfect if it’s your first time or you want a light commitment **Option 2: Go deep (4 hours, 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM)** Stay for the full session and build real momentum **Time and location** 🕐 **Every Tuesday, 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM** 💻 **Bring:** your laptop, journal, or anything you’ve been avoiding ☕ Please do order something from the bar, so as to keep us in their good graces! **Please arrive on time or during the break windows to avoid interrupting the focus sessions** 😊 **Focus schedule:** 9:30 AM – 10:20 AM → Focus Block 1 10:35 AM – 11:20 AM → Focus Block 2 11:35 AM – 12:25 PM → Focus Block 3 **If you expect to arrive late, please come during one of these break windows:** 10:20 AM – 10:35 AM 11:20 AM – 11:35 AM 12:25 PM – 1:00 PM for Lunch + Pitch Simple structure. Real progress. **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.

Hello everyone! It’s been long in the making, but finally all pieces have fallen into place and we’re beyond excited to announce a very special edition of our meetup on Tuesday, June 9th: **Shitty Robots & Weird Tools - with Mario & Armin**. These two speakers probably don’t even need an introduction in this community as it’s largely due to them and their buddy Peter that Austria/Vienna has become a well-known spot on the AI Engineering world map. Still, if you don’t know them yet, find the details about them below. **Mario** will kick off the meetup with a talk about a recent pet project of his, the **“Shitty Robot”**. Then **Armin** will talk about **“Weird Tools”** for coding agents. And we’ll make sure there will be room for plenty of questions from the audience. This announcement is very short-notice, as the **meetup is in just two days**, but we hope that despite that you'll be able to join us and listen in person to Mario and Armin's uniquely interesting takes on AI, before the World Cup and the summer months make such gatherings effectively impossible. Special thanks to **SQUER**, who have jumped in and generously offered us their office in the **9th district** to host this special event. Join us for an unforgettable evening with the **Austrian AI Engineering avant-garde**! \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Speakers \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- For the folks who don't know these two already 😉… * **Mario Zechner** (**@badlogicgames**) is the creator of Pi, a minimalist, self-modifying AI coding agent now stewarded by the startup Earendil, where he's a stakeholder and team member. Before AI, he built the popular cross-platform Java game framework libGDX and spent years on the animation tool Spine. Refreshingly blunt about the industry, Mario calls permission popups "security theater," warns about "token addiction," and tells engineers to slow down and treat agents as surgical tools. Blog: [https://mariozechner.at/](https://mariozechner.at/) * **Armin Ronacher** (**@mitsuhiko**) co-founded Earendil to build AI developer tooling, after a decade at Sentry where he was a very early engineer and rose to VP of Platform. He's best known as the creator of Flask, the Python microframework that famously began as a 2010 April Fool's joke, and of the Jinja template engine, alongside a long line of Pallets and Rust projects. A prolific blogger and frequent speaker, he's openly skeptical of AI hype while building squarely within it.

(Armin Ronacher) 20:30 - More drinks & networking. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Location \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- SQUER Solutions GmbH Althanstraße 4/3/63 1090 Vienna \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Sponsor \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- This event is generously sponsored by **SQUER**, a Vienna and Munich-based IT consultancy specialized in software transformation and AI-native development. 🙏 SQUER works with engineering teams across the DACH region to modernize architectures, enable AI workflows, and build the technical foundation for sustainable digital change. Sponsoring the Vienna AI Engineering Meetup reflects SQUER's commitment to shaping a strong AI engineering community in and around Vienna.

UX Vienna Evening Meetups are on the 2nd tuesday of every month — 12 times a year. Prepare for a concentrated dose of academic insight: four students from the User Experience Management Master’s programme will present the core findings of their latest thesis research in the style of lightning talks. A lightning talk is limited to a maximum of 10 minutes. **Lightning Talks:** **Collaboration between key roles in agile software projects** by [Thomas Theiner](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ttheiner/), Product Manager Network Security, Barracuda Role perceptions and communication influence collaboration between product management, software development, and user experience teams in agile environments. Based on interviews and survey insights, this talk highlights actionable best practices for improving alignment and enabling more effective cross-functional collaboration. **Co-creation with AI: The impact of AI-supported prototyping and live testing on co-creation within solution delivery teams** by [Raluca Chisalita](https://www.linkedin.com/in/raluca-chisalita-34627519a/), Technology Consultant (User Experience & Power Platform), Avanade This research investigates how AI-supported prototyping and live testing using Figma Make affect design co-creation within solution delivery teams compared with traditional, non-AI design workflows. The study was conducted within Avanade's corporate context, involving cross-functional teams of designers and developers. Retrospective experiences of participants in non-AI workshops, together with live workshops, are used to assess how AI affects clarity and confidence in design concepts, collaboration dynamics, and the speed or frequency of design iterations. **More Relevant Search Results: How Ad-Scoring and Relevance-Sorting can Increase User Satisfaction** by [Sina Benjamin Jonas](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sinabenjaminjonas/), UX Designer & Project Manager On willhaben’s second-hand fashion marketplace, this thesis examines how clearer, better-described product ads can rank higher in search results. It builds a simple scoring model for ad quality and plugs it into a new way of sorting the results. First tests show that the new model can increase overall satisfaction of potential buyers with minor UI and programmatic changes to the search results. **Navigating Compatibility with Confidence: Turning Technical Complexity into Usable Product Guidance** by [Angelika Loidolt](https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelika-loidolt/), Web Projekt Manager, Rascom A compatibility rating should help users decide — but when PC hardware becomes more complex, the rating itself can become a source of confusion. Through the case of Noctua, we take a look at how a CPU-specific cooler rating system can be revised to communicate performance and compatibility more clearly for modern CPUs. We explore how UX can turn technical complexity into guidance that helps users move from uncertainty to a confident product decision. \-\-\- Collaboratively we document each UX Vienna Evening Meetup at [https://UXvienna.at/ongoing/](https://uxvienna.at/ongoing/) \- Check out to see what kept us busy and what you might have missed so far\.

Viele Frauen haben Hemmungen beim Verhandeln. Der Workshop bietet einen sicheren Rahmen für klare Kommunikation und praktische Übungen. Vielen Frauen ist nicht bewusst, wie viel mehr in Gesprächen, Gehaltsverhandlungen oder alltäglichen Situationen möglich wäre — wenn sie früher nachgefragt, klarer kommuniziert oder weniger Hemmungen vor dem Verhandeln gehabt hätten. Denn viele Frauen lernen früh, Konflikte eher zu vermeiden, sich anzupassen oder die eigenen Interessen nicht zu stark in den Vordergrund zu stellen. Genau dadurch bleiben Chancen, Sichtbarkeit und Einfluss oft ungenutzt — beruflich wie privat. Im Fokus steht nicht, „härter“ zu werden — sondern klarer, bewusster und situationsgerechter zu kommunizieren. Der Workshop verbindet Verhandlung, Kommunikation und psychologische Hintergründe mit praktischen Übungen, Reflexion und praxisnahen Beispielen. In diesem Workshop beschäftigen wir uns mit unterschiedlichen Verhandlungs- und Kommunikationsstilen von Frauen und Männern, den Dynamiken, die dabei entstehen, und der Frage, wie man den eigenen Stil bewusster und strategischer einsetzen kann. **Der Workshop richtet sich zwar besonders an Frauen, Männer sind aber ebenfalls herzlich willkommen und können vom besseren Verständnis dieser Dynamiken profitieren.** ### **Das nimmst du mit** * besseres Verständnis für unterschiedliche Kommunikations- und Verhandlungsstile * mehr Bewusstsein für eigene Muster und Glaubenssätze * Strategien für klare und gleichzeitig empathische Kommunikation * praktische Erfahrung durch Übungen und Reflexion ### **Inhalt und Ablauf** Der Workshop ist interaktiv aufgebaut und kombiniert: * kurze theoretische Inputs * Reflexionsübungen * Diskussionen * praxisnahe Verhandlungssituationen * gemeinsame Analyse von Kommunikationsdynamiken ### **Für wen ist dieser Workshop geeignet?** Dieser Workshop richtet sich an: * Alle, die **Verhandlungen bewusster führen** möchten * Personen, die sich in Gesprächen oft unter Wert verkaufen * Einsteiger:innen ohne Vorerfahrung * Studierende und Berufstätige * Männer sind ebenfalls herzlich willkommen Vorkenntnisse sind nicht erforderlich, einfach mitmachen! ### **Teilnahmegebühr** ● **€ 15 Early-Bird-Ticket** – bei Onlinebuchung mindestens **3 Tage im Voraus mittels folgenden Link:** https://pay.sumup.com/b2c/QVVU033U ● **€ 20 regulärer Preis** – online oder **vor Ort** (Kartenzahlung möglich) ### **Über AANCM** Die **Austrian Association for Negotiation and Conflict Management (AANCM)** organisiert praxisnahe Workshops und Trainings zu Verhandlung, Kommunikation und Konfliktmanagement. Themenbereiche: * Verhandlung * Kommunikation * Konfliktmanagement * Berufliche Weiterentwicklung Unser Ziel: **Praxisnahe und leistbare Weiterbildung für Studierende und junge Berufstätige.** Unsere Veranstaltungen verbinden **Theorie, Praxis und Reflexion** – in einer **offenen und unterstützenden Community**. 🌐 www.negotiator.at 📧 office@negotiator.at 🔗 Folge uns auf LinkedIn und Meetup **This event is marketed on other platforms as well. The people registered here only represent a portion of the registrations for the event.**

Hi Deep Learners, We are happy to announce one more Vienna Deep Learning Meetup before the summer break: on **June 10** at ÖBB. We will again have two talks: Agentic AI in Production and Exploratory Causal Inference. \*\*\* **Agenda:** * 18:15 Arrival * 18:30 **Introduction** by the meetup organizers * **Welcome** by the host: ÖBB * 18:45 **Talk 1: Agentic AI Systems in Production: Best Practices, Challenges & Lessons Learned** by Hilda Kosorus (*Onefold AI*) * 19:30 **Announcements** * **Networking Break** * 20:00 **Talk 2:** **Scaling Empiricism in Artificial Causal Inference** by Riccardo Cadei *(ISTA)* * 20:30 **Networking** * \~21:30 **Wrap up & End** \*\*\* **Talk Details:** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Talk 1:** **Agentic AI Systems in Production: Best Practices, Challenges & Lessons Learned** Building agentic AI systems that work in production is harder than the demos suggest. Real users, real data, and real edge cases surface challenges that don't show up in most tutorials. We must consider orchestration trade-offs, observability gaps, evaluation strategy, latency and cost realities. There's constant tension between giving agents autonomy and keeping them under control. In this talk, we share what we've learned shipping agentic systems end-to-end. We'll walk through how our architectures evolved and the trade-offs behind each shift, and we'll be honest about which frameworks — such as LangGraph, LangChain, Langfuse — earned their place in our stack. Expect architecture diagrams and the patterns we now apply to lead our custom projects to success. **About the speaker:** We are Onefold AI — Tobi, Csenge, and Hilda. We combine deep LLM engineering with a research foundation, years of data science work, and multiple agentic systems shipped end-to-end into production. Our recent projects span compliance and audit automation, multi-agent workspaces for food scientists, and our own product development — all building on the hard-won lessons we'll share in this session. **Talk 2:** **Scaling Empiricism in Artificial Causal Inference** Randomized trials are the gold standard of empirical science, yet their analysis still hinges on hand-crafted hypotheses: the investigator has to decide upfront what to measure and whom to compare, often anchoring on familiar narratives. A paradigm shift is now within reach: modern trials measure more, and representation learning gives us the tools to scale the reading accordingly. In this talk, I will present two algorithms I developed to bridge this richer measurement to causal claims, e.g., scientific discoveries or policy guidelines. Neural Effect Search (NES) identifies the latent effects of a treatment from unstructured outcomes. Neural EXposure Interaction Search (NEXIS) identifies an interpretable and prescriptive characterization of effect heterogeneity. I will illustrate both through real-world deployments in experimental ecology and development economics. **About the speaker:** Riccardo Cadei is an ELLIS PhD student at ISTA with a growing record of foundational, methodological, and applied contributions to Causal Inference and AI for Science. He actively collaborates with biologists, neuroscientists, economists, and public-health researchers, translating his vision of Artificial Causal Inference into concrete scientific workflows. We are looking forward to welcoming you at our last meetup before summer! Your VDLM organizer team

# Tired of dating apps or surface-level social events? This is different. Relational Labs is a guided connection experience for singles who want more honest, playful, emotionally intelligent interaction — without performance, pressure, or endless small talk. This is not speed dating. Not networking. Not “pitch yourself to strangers.” It’s a facilitated relational container rooted in psychology, emotional intelligence, attachment work, social dynamics, nervous system awareness, and real-world human connection — made practical enough that you can actually live it instead of reading another 50 books about it. ## What happens • A 2-hour guided online relational experience • Real-time connection exercises designed to create authentic interaction • A format that adapts in real time to whoever is present • Optional participant-led in-person continuation afterward • WhatsApp connection thread after the session ## This may be for you if: • You’re tired of shallow or repetitive social spaces • You want deeper connection without forced intimacy • You enjoy personal growth, psychology, communication, or relational work • You’re open to meeting people in a more intentional way ## Important This experience runs with whoever is present and takes its own shape each time. Sometimes expansive. Sometimes intimate. Both are the real thing. Booking happens through our website. 👉 Reserve your spot: [https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) Optional in-person continuation: same day or within 48 hours depending on the city Most people come alone. People often leave surprised by how quickly strangers can feel human, warm, honest, and real. Sometimes awkwardness turns into ease. Sometimes curiosity turns into chemistry. Sometimes people simply remember what it feels like to actually connect again.
