PCE Philosophic Conversation in English
PCE - "Philosophic Conversation in English" is a discussion event in English language which focuses on psychology, philosophy, self-consciousness and self-realization. The conversation is based on inclusive discussion rules. We will meet at at a restaurant where we will have a private room exclusively reserved for our event.
At the beginning we will choose the two topics to discuss. Everybody can suggest a topic. Afterwards we will vote what topics to discuss. The person who suggests a winning topic will start the discussion by explaining his/her idea.
Afterwards everybody gets his/her chance to make a statement. But you can also decide to remain silent and only listen, if you prefer that. We have a time limit for statements, so that everybody has enough time to speak. It is not allowed to interrupt somebody who is speaking. After a statement everybody can ask a question and the speaker will answer.
After the first part there will be a 15 minutes break before we start the second part.
Everybody is welcome to our event: We are interested in your thoughts and opinions! It is no problem if you arrive late and you can also leave whenever you want.
Please don't bring pets to this event because the room is usually very crowded. Please make sure to register for the event to secure your seat!

Godot User Group Austria - open-source game development
A meetup for everyone interested in game and multimedia development using the [Godot](https://godotengine.org/) engine. Every second Monday of the month, we present our projects, share our experiences, and learn from each other.
**6:30 PM** Welcome and quick intro
**6:45 PM** Talks

Improving application design with std::variant and templates
📢 Main event starts at 18:30 CET
✨ **Robert Schimkowitsch**'s test run for his presentation at ACCU on Sea!
In this talk, we explore combining template techniques with std::variant. The result? Extensible code with less boilerplate.
We cover the basics of the subject area, then introduce an example inspired by my own work experience. As we dive into some key code snippets essential to the overall design, we identify problems, then figure out how to solve them. On this journey, we learn about breaking dependencies, ergonomic use of distinct data types and replacing duplicate code with a single implementation. We look at template instantiations to visualize and understand both the compile-time and run-time aspects of our code. Finally, we evaluate the code design impact of our changes, what benefits they gave us, and what alternative options we could have used instead.
After this talk, you will have a firm grasp on techniques that make std::variant even more useful in practice. This will give you more options for your next application subsystem design. You do not need prior knowledge of either std::variant or writing template code.
🪙 We appreciate any **voluntary donations** on-site.
⏱️ Arrive early for pre-socializing—simple snacks and drinks will be provided.
🍕 After the event, we will relocate to a pizzeria (at your own expense).

Tango Fundamentals 1
There's something about tango that gets under your skin.
You watched it, or tried it once, and something in you probably felt really good. Because tango is connetion in the present moment.
Tango Fundamentals 1 is a structured 6-week course designed to take your tango journey through the basic steps and figures of Argentine tango. This is not just about copying moves - but rather actually understanding how tango works. The connection, the lead and follow, the conversation between two people through movement.
By the end of these six weeks, you'll understand the basic concepts of tango, the etiquette of milongas, how to invite someone to dance - and you'll actually be able to dance.
**What's included:**
* 6 weekly classes - every Monday, 75 minutes each
* Bonus 4 online evenings - stretching, strength, technique and mindfulness to support your body and focus in your Tango Journey
* 1 Practica at the end - a real social dance to put it all together
**Investment:** €165 full price, €125 for students. There is an option for classes without an online offer. Just write me a message.
Single class: €28 / student €22
**This is for you if:**
* You've tried tango once and want to go deeper
* You've always wanted to learn but never knew where to start
* You want a real foundation, not just a one-off workshop
Spots are limited - this is a small group, so everyone gets proper attention.

Monday 8th June 7-10PM
## Point of View
It’s the bedrock of every relationship. You state your point of view, and your partner says theirs. Sounds easy, right? But how often are scenes derailed because the actors don’t hold onto their points of view or mindlessly add unnecessary details that throw the scene off course? Recognizing, maintaining, and evolving a point of view creates confident and exciting scenes.
Tuedays 9th June 7-10PM
## Get in Focus
What are you focused on when you begin a scene? What great offers are you missing because you’re building a story instead of a relationship? Learn how paying attention to your heart and breath leads to strong scenes and surprising dynamics.

Cloud Native Vienna: June 2026 MeetUp
We'd like to invite you to our fourth installation for the Cloud Native Vienna MeetUps in 2026!
Again we'll have two deep-dive talks and time to network and chat with friends in the Viennese cloud native community.
A big thank you to **WKO Inhouse GmbH** for hosting us and providing food and drinks!
**Agenda:**
* **17:30:** Doors Open & Networking
* **17:55:** Welcome from the Organizers
* **18:00:** **Talk 1:** Rober Klonner (WKO Inhouse GmbH)
**GitOps Visibility: Precise Argo CD diffs on every Pull Request**
* **18:45:** Break & Refreshments
* **19:00:** **Talk 2:** Thomas Hanser (Untis GmbH)
**The Untis Platform Engineering Journey: GitOps Multi-Tenancy with Flux, GitLab, and Friends**
* **19:45:** Open Networking
We look forward to seeing you there!
\-\-\-
**Talks:**
Rober Klonner (WKO Inhouse Gmbh)
**GitOps Visibility: Precise Argo CD diffs on every Pull Request**
Today's GitOps deployments are generated through layers of templating - Helm charts, Kustomize or ApplicationSets. Modifying these abstractions and trying to mentally render the output is error-prone.
This talk introduces a method that uses Argo CD itself to render accurate diffs of Helm charts and Kustomize overlays between branches and posts the result directly on your pull request.
We'll walk through a production setup using the Argo CD Operator, Argo CD Diff Preview, and GitLab CI, optimized for performance, minimal maintenance, and security. Through real-world use cases, we'll show what issues this approach catches before they hit your cluster.
Thomas Hanser (Untis GmbH)
**The Untis Platform Engineering Journey: GitOps Multi-Tenancy with Flux, GitLab, and Friends**
Operating in the European education sector means juggling compliance, student privacy and massive traffic spikes when school starts. Historically at Untis, keeping this running in production was the burden of a single operations team. This session details our transition to an automated, multi-tenant GitOps platform managing a fleet of internal and external Kubernetes clusters. We share our approach of building a platform that gives product teams actual autonomy without compromising on security or control:
* **Structured Multi-Tenancy:** Mapping GitLab groups to namespaced tenant projects using Flux’s multi-tenant model.
* **Secure Access Control:** Leveraging the GitLab Agent for Kubernetes to enable scoped, declarative self-service cluster access.
* **Flexible Delivery Models:** Supporting multiple decentralized deployment strategies by balancing governance and freedom for both internal teams and external guest environments.
Prepare for an honest demonstration of challenges like managing secret lifecycles across a growing fleet, moving from script-driven tenant onboarding to true automated self-service, and wrestling with the classic "chicken-and-egg" problems of bootstrapping Flux and handling GitOps release management.

📍**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. (Contact: https://sahil.work)

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.
