Verified Vectors: eBPF Security & IP Integrity
We are happy to announce the next [eBPF](https://ebpf.io/)-focused meetup in Vienna scheduled for March 6, 2026.
All talks will be suited for beginners and experts as well.
Whether you're a web developer, platform engineer, data scientist or simply curious about the latest advancements in the world of IT, this event is for you.
Come and join us to network with like-minded professionals, expand your knowledge in eBPF and explore how this open-source technology is revolutionizing the way we solve problems.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to stay ahead of the curve!
*Special thanks to our sponsors:*
*\- ÖBB for providing an excellent venue for this meetup\!*
**Agenda:**
* 17:00 - 17:25: Arrival and Registration
* 17:25 - 17:30: **Welcome** - *by the Organizers*
* 17:30 - 18:00: **The pod knows where you're from**
*\- preserving Source IP with Cilium and DSR*
\- by Marcel Gredler
* 18:00 - 18:30: Break
* 18:30 - 19:00: **Signing eBPF for Security** *(with Hornet LSM)*
\- by Julian Zhuang
* 19:00 - 21:00: Closing Words & Networking Apero
**Topic 1: The Pod Knows Where You're From – Preserving Source IP with Cilium and DSR**
In this session, Marcel Gredler delves into maintaining original source IP addresses in Kubernetes pods using Cilium and Direct Server Return (DSR). By bypassing traditional load balancers for return traffic, DSR boosts bandwidth and performance, enabling efficient handling of high-throughput workloads like AI model inference and training in cloud-native setups.
**Topic 2: Signing eBPF for Security (with Hornet LSM)**
Julian Zhuang discusses enhancing eBPF program security via cryptographic signing integrated with the Hornet Linux Security Module (LSM). This approach verifies eBPF code integrity before kernel loading, reducing vulnerabilities in observability, networking, and security tools while ensuring safe deployment in production environments.

Zur Feier des internationalen Frauentags gibt es diese Show in komplett weiblicher Besetzung, von der Regie bis hin zur Fotografin. Ein Maestra!

Dabei ist uns jedes Erfahrungslevel willkommen!

Meaningful Conversations: Reducing Suffering
**A Gentle Space for Inner Freedom (A special Meaningful Conversations event)**
Viktor Frankl wrote that even in the most difficult circumstances, one inner freedom remains: the freedom to choose how to react to any given situation.
This event begins in that space.
Pain and challenging situations are part of being human. Life brings loss, sadness, the feeling of injustice, the sense of not being good enough, change, uncertainty, and limitation — often without explanation and without choice.
This gathering is an invitation to pause, to step out of inner struggle for a moment, and to meet life as it is — with dignity and clarity.
Through shared reflections and gentle guidance, the event opens a space where psychological clarity and spiritual depth can be practically experienced rather than just explained.
A calm, respectful space to stop, listen, and reconnect with what remains steady and free, even when life is not.
**This event is especially for you if you’re new to Dieter Langenecker’s work —**
**Or if you’d like to reconnect with it.**
It also offers a natural entry point into **the monthly Meaningful Conversations**,
A gentle, ongoing space for staying connected to what truly matters
And to live with greater depth and contentment.
Tanja Odermatt & Dieter Langenecker
PS: A contribution of € 15,- for room rent, coffee/tea, and cookies will be collected.

CBusData - Discover the Power of Window Functions
Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems:
* Using running totals
* Performing operations in intervals
* Identifying data gaps and islands
* Performing aggregates without losing detail
Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Google Analytics Alternatives
**Google Analytics Alternatives**
Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday.
Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”.
Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process.
We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.
Thanks to our 2026 sponsors:
[Clarivoy](https://www.clarivoy.com), [What Box Consulting Group](https://www.whatboxconsultinggroup.com), [Conductrics](https://www.conductrics.com), and [Piwik PRO](https://piwik.pro)

Investing for financial freedom with data and statistical reasoning
**Details:** This talk reviews the fundamental academic research literature in financial economics, distilling key findings with rigor while debunking suboptimal investing decisions. It draws on decades of empirical research and statistical analysis with the aim of guiding how to think about sound investing.
**Audience Takeaway:** Attendees will gain a practical, research-based approach to assessing investments, interpreting risk, and making choices that support long-term financial independence, informed by decades of published financial studies.
**Zoom: This is a *hybrid* event. To attend online, join us on Zoom here at 6pm:**

Quarterly Goals Reset for Product Professionals
One of the most valuable parts of this community is the opportunity to think out loud with other product professionals. This session is built for exactly that.

Join fellow product professionals for a focused, interactive conversation designed to help you recalibrate for the next quarter. You’ll have the opportunity to share where you are, hear how others are thinking through similar challenges, and gain fresh perspective you can bring back to your team and organization.
We’ll gather at 8:00AM, with discussion starting promptly at 8:15AM.
