Ausschreibungen sind ein zentraler und oft unterschätzter Bestandteil professioneller Requirements-Arbeit. Ausschreibungen verbinden fachliche Anforderungen, rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen und wirtschaftliche Interessen. Und entscheiden nicht selten über den Erfolg ganzer Projekte. In diesem Meetup beleuchten wir Ausschreibungen aus **drei komplementären Perspektiven**: 👉 aus Sicht des Auftraggebers, 👉 des Bieters und 👉 des Software-Herstellers, der beide Welten zusammenbringen will. 🔹 **Speaker 1** – Simon Gemel (Business Analyst) gibt Einblicke aus erster Hand in die Erstellung und Begleitung einer Ausschreibung für das Parlament: Wie entstehen Anforderungen in diesem Kontext? Welche Herausforderungen gibt es auf Auftraggeberseite und was macht eine gute Ausschreibung wirklich aus? 🔹 **Speaker 2** – Armin Fürst ([TechTalk](https://techtalk.at/)) bringt die Perspektive eines Unternehmens ein, das regelmäßig an Ausschreibungen mit dem klaren Ziel teilnimmt, diese zu gewinnen: Worauf achten Bieter? Wo gehen Anforderungen oft verloren? Und wie unterscheiden sich „formal korrekt“ und „inhaltlich überzeugend“? 🔹 **Speaker 3** – Gerhard Hipfinger ([openFORCE](https://openforce.com/)) stellt eine Software-Lösung vor, die genau an dieser Schnittstelle ansetzt: Wie kann intelligentes Matchmaking zwischen Anforderungen und Angeboten Auftraggeber und Anbieter gleichermaßen unterstützen und Reibungsverluste reduzieren? 👉 Das Meetup richtet sich an **Business Analysten, Requirements Engineers, Product Owner, Architekten, Auftraggeber, Juristen und alle**, die Anforderungen formulieren, bewerten oder in Ausschreibungen damit arbeiten. Freut euch auf **Praxisberichte, unterschiedliche Blickwinkel und konkrete Learnings** und für Diskussion und Austausch mit der BA-Community. 🕑 **Agenda** 👉 Einlass ab 17:30 👉 Start der Vorträge um 18:00 🙌 **Über unseren Sponsor…** Der Veranstaltungsort wird von **[TechTalk](https://techtalk.at/)** gesponsert. Essen & Getränke gesponsert vom **[IIBA Austria Chapter](https://austria.iiba.org/).** 🍻 **🎤 Call for Speakers & Sponsoren!** Und wenn du selbst etwas erzählen willst oder eine Idee für einen Talk hast, dann melde dich einfach. Auch suchen wir nicht nur Sprecher, sondern neue Lokationen zum Vortragen. 👉 **RSVP now!** Die Plätze sind begrenzt, also melde dich bitte an. Wie immer freuen wir uns sehr auf dich! Wir freuen uns auf eine rege Diskussion!

Join me for an evening photo walk through the city :) The first 10 minutes will be used for the greeting and general info, then we will start at Basilica Maria Treu and follow the 13a bus route south to Haus des Meeres. There are a lot of restaurants and cafes on the way which coupled with nice architecture could make for some good photos. At the end of the walk everyone is welcome to join for a warm drink at a nearby cafe. The event is free of charge but will be limited to max 10 people as it is meant as an opportunity to connect. It is suitable for all regardless of age/level/gear. If you signed up but cannot make it please cancel at least a day in advance so people on the waitlist get a place. note: the organizers of this group have recently changed - instead of Dietmar, Urska will be running the events - hopefully the value of the group and these events remains

One year ago, we kicked off a small idea — a meetup for mobile devs to connect, share, and learn from each other. Since then, we’ve met **8 times**, covered everything from CI/CD to performance, and built a great community of curious, friendly, and opinionated mobile folks. Now it’s time to celebrate — and we’re doing it at **Journi HQ** in Vienna! 🎈 📍 **Where:** Journi, Vienna 📅 **When:** February 11, 2026 – 18:30 ### **What to expect:** \- Android: Upgrading the Android Gradle Plugin to 9\.0\.0 \- iOS: Designing with Liquid Glass: Lessons from the EYA Program\. \- Android: ViewModels lifecycle "fun" with Compose \- Reflections on what 2025 taught us \- A peek into what 2026 might bring in mobile \- Good drinks\, great people\, and maybe even cake 🎂 Whether you’ve joined all 8 meetups or this is your first - you’re super welcome. 📝 RSVP now and let’s kick off the new year together!

On se rencontre chaque mercredi pour parler français. Parmi nous, il y a des gens qui ont le français comme langue maternelle, et des gens qui aiment le français et le maîtrisent plus ou moins. On aime discuter et parler de tout et de rien, et on est toujours content de recevoir des gens qui sont de passage ou des nouvelles personnes qui veulent écouter, parler, pratiquer ou poser des questions. Cette semaine, on se retrouve dans un nouveau endroit pour tester, le Café Merkur, situé a proximité de la station U2 Rathaus, dans la Florianigasse 18. Le Café Merkur est un Café-Bistro bien aimable, avec une cuisine de plats legers de beaucoup de pays differents. La table est toujours gérée d'une façon très libre et relaxée, on se rencontre et on parle aux autres participants et participantes autour de nous. NOTE: Si vous comptez venir, inscrivez-vous s'il vous plaît, pour qu'on puisse prévoir assez (mais pas trop non plus) d'espace au restaurant. Comme ça, on sera à l'aise et l'endroit qui nous accueille aussi. On commence à 18h30 , mais ce n'est pas un problème de rejoindre après. Normalement, il y a au moins une dizaine de personnes qui vient aux rencontres. Cette rencontre est aussi annoncée sur notre groupe facebook ("Vienna French Meetings") A mercredi alors!

Join us for an evening of fresh perspectives on Content Management Systems beyond the WordPress bubble. This Meetup is all about broadening horizons. Looking at how different CMS approach common problems, what they do particularly well (or not so well), and what we as WordPress professionals can learn from them. Instead of chasing a single “best CMS,” we’ll explore why different projects need different tools and how ideas from other ecosystems can inspire better solutions in our daily WordPress work. Expect practical insights, honest comparisons, and plenty of room for discussion. 🕡 **18:30 live**, SAE Vienna, Kaisersaal ⏱️ **18:45 – Thomas Kräftner** **“An Inspirational Tour Through Other CMS”** The web is as diverse as the Content Management Systems behind it. Rather than attempting yet another exhaustive CMS comparison or ranking, Thomas takes a more pragmatic and refreshing approach: a curated tour through selected aspects, strengths, and weaknesses of different systems. In this fast-paced “speed run,” we’ll look at WordPress, Drupal, Neos, and Kirby, each representing different philosophies and solutions to familiar challenges. Along the way, Thomas highlights what we can take back into our own WordPress projects. The talk is intentionally subjective and designed to spark discussion, so bring your own experiences and opinions from the CMS world. Slides in German: [https://kraftner.com/talks/cms-streifzug/](https://kraftner.com/talks/cms-streifzug/) Slides in English: [https://kraftner.com/talks/cms-tour/](https://kraftner.com/talks/cms-tour/) [Thomas Kräftner](https://kraftner.com/) is a freelance web developer with 18+ years of professional experience and a strong focus on WordPress. With a background in Information Design, he combines technical expertise with a deep understanding of content, accessibility, and visual clarity. Active in the WordPress community in Vienna, Thomas has spoken at WordCamps and previously co-organized both the WP Vienna Meetup and WordCamp Vienna. ⏱️ **19:30 – Gernot Ploiner** **TYPO3: A Practical Introduction to an Enterprise-Ready CMS** With more than 20 years of hands-on experience, [Gernot](https://www.webprofil.at) introduces TYPO3 as a powerful and reliable CMS for long-term, scalable web projects. He explains why TYPO3 is often the CMS of choice for enterprise environments and complex requirements. The talk covers key strengths such as the dedicated TYPO3 Security Team, advanced multilingual features, editorial workflows with workspaces, strong performance, and an editor-friendly backend. From a developer’s perspective, Gernot also gives insights into modern TYPO3 development: local setups with DDEV, clean object-oriented architectures using Extbase, Symfony-based concepts, and building custom extensions for professional projects. Whether you’re a WordPress developer, agency owner, or simply curious about how other CMS solve familiar problems, this Meetup will give you new ideas, useful comparisons, and plenty of inspiration—plus good conversations with fellow web folks.

Join 200 fellow experience enthusiasts in Vienna for a day of delving deeply into user experience, customer experience, people experience, brand experience, and all things related to design, strategy, technology, and culture. For tickets and more information, visit [https://barcamp.ucpx.network/](https://barcamp.ucpx.network/) Please note that a Meetup RSVP is not a ticket. A "Going" status on Meetup does not grant entry. You must purchase a ticket. The €10 ticket includes breakfast, lunch, and drinks for the entire day.

This is a group for meeting new people, eating brunch, and having discussions about science, life, philosophy, politics, and people. Anybody is free to join, and we charge no fees. This discussion group aims to have the absolute minimal level of structure necessary to ensure the conversation remains engaging to the majority of people present. In particular, we \*don't\* have fixed order of speaking or timed statements. So far, the balance we've struck is enforcing hand raising when conversation gets intense in order to minimize interruption, and to give the chair (me!) the power to occasionally call a snap election on the conversation topic.

Hi! After the first introductory event, I am looking forward to start reading "**Think and Grow Rich"** by Napoleon Hill, one of the most famous books about money. And also one of the most misunderstood. Most people read it. Nod. Feel inspired. Then go back to the same life. Not because the book is weak — but because they read it alone. At our meetup, we do the opposite. We question the ideas. Challenge the assumptions. Test what actually works in real life. If you’re tired of being *“inspired in private”* and unchanged in reality, this conversation is for you. **Meeting agenda:** * **Goals are cheap.** Only the ones that restructure your calendar deserve to be taken seriously. * **Napoleon Hill assumes belief precedes action.** What if belief is mostly a side effect of doing uncomfortable things first? * **Opportunity is abundant.** Indecision is socially acceptable cowardice. Agree or disagree? You can find a good summary of the book here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEvK7OPSYZo

Friday Night French Conversation Hour Bonjour tout le monde! (English Below) Je vous propose une soirée, ce vendredi qui vient, à l'hôtel Junto à Columbus. 19hr. 13 Vendredi 2026. C'est très bien située avec de l'espace extérieur et intérieur, un feu, un café (cafe se ferme à 19h; arrivez tot si ca vous interesse), un resto, et un bar. Le parking est payé est juste en face au musée des sciences COSI. Il y'en a aussi dans les rues mais un peu plus loin. Vous n'êtes pas obligé d'acheter quelque chose, car l'ensemble de l'espace c'est vraiment un grand lobby et de l'hôtel, mais c'est cool. J'ai parlé avec le management et ils sont ravis de nous accueillir, mais il n'y a pas de place particulière réservé pour nous. Ce sera à partir de 19h jusqu'à ? Moi, je suis Brandon. J'aimerais que ce soit un évènement mensuel et si l'espace ne vous convient pas, on peut discuter d'autres options. Je vais porter une casquette bleue et blanche qui dit "Québec." Venez nombreux! A tres bientot \-\-\-\- Hello everyone! It’s been a long time since we’ve had a Friday night French meetup. I suggest that we meet at the Junto Hotel in Columbus this coming Friday, 13 February 2026 at 7PM. There’s a great spot with both outdoor and indoor areas, a café (which closes at 7 p.m., come a bit early if that interests you), a restaurant, and a bar. Parking is paid and is located right across from the science museum called COSI. There is additional free and paid street parking around at varying distances. It’s a bit expensive, but you don’t have to buy anything since the area is really just a large hotel lobby. It's nice though. I spoke with management, and they’re happy to welcome us, though there’s no specific space reserved just for us. It’ll start at 7 p.m. and go until whenever. I’d like this to become a monthly event, and if this space doesn’t suit us well, we can discuss other options. Speaking and understanding French well is ideal but there may be learners there as well. I’m Brandon. I’ll be wearing a blue and white cap that says “Québec.” Come find us.

**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data** Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics. The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth. The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical. (note: we are back at Rev1 this month!) **About Our Speaker** [Alex Moore](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexscottmoore/) is the founder of [Moore Cooperative](https://moorecooperative.com/), where he advises organizations on compensation strategy, pay equity, and people analytics. His work focuses on helping organizations like the Ohio Supreme Court design, analyze, and communicate compensation systems that are data-informed, defensible, and aligned with organizational goals. Alex lives in Granville, Ohio and has three little kiddos. More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)
