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 topic to discuss. Everybody can suggest a topic. Then we will vote what topic to discuss. The person who suggested the winning topic will then explain his/her idea of the topic. 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 10 minutes break. When we start again, we will decide (by voting) either to go on with the same topic for the second part or to switch to the topic with the second or the one with the third most votes. 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 check out last event's topics via this link: http://pce-topic.project-website.org (Please try to bring some cash to the event if possible as Café Walletschek accepts credit card payment only from 10 euro and there were some issues with foreign cards.)

## CI Winter Intensive // **Somatic Skills into Contact Improvisation** The Winter Intensive invites you to dive – *from the ground up* and within a small group – into the wisdom of your body and into the world of Contact Improvisation as an art form. During the mornings, you will explore how the body organizes itself in dance and how to generate flow and momentum through your own body weight. Through *hands-on* partner work and guided improvisation, we awaken the connective tissues and refine body awareness, sensing connections within the body. We dance short phrases on the floor and through all spatial levels, while nourishing your individual and free expression in dance. In the evenings, these felt and embodied insights are applied in dancing with shared weight. Through practices drawn from somatic systems, experiential anatomy and biomechanics, impulses from Eastern traditions, release technique, and kinetic imagery, you are invited into a powerful embodied experience—one that strengthens and inspires you, and offers impulses and tools that reach far beyond the dance floor. *** ## FOR WHOM The Winter Intensive is for everyone who… * is curious about a new form of movement-based encounter and playful exploration * wants to get a taste of contemporary dance grounded in somatic learning, anatomy in motion, and kinetic imagery * wishes to learn solid **somatic skills**\* for the practice of Contact Improvisation * wants to train and dance over several consecutive days to sustainably elevate both skills and practice * longs for an unforgettable, movement-based group experience ## WHEN **February 23–27, 2026** 10:00–12:30 and 18:00–19:30 Friday afternoon/evening: **Jam & Dinner**, closing gathering *** ## WHERE Bewegungsraum Hockegasse 37, 1180 Vienna Studio 11 A kitchen and a cozy common space (Studio 11) are available for resting if you wish to stay on site between sessions; staying over night in the studio if you come from abroad is also possible; *** **How Much:** €299 regular *(incl. Friday Jam & Dinner)* **BRING A FRIEND discount** €149 / €199 / €249 *(sliding scale – pay as you can)* Total number of participants: **12** *** ## REGISTRATION 📩 hi@movingintopresence.at (Registration possible until **February 17, 2026**)

Stream Oriented Programming (SOP, SP) is a programming and architectural paradigm for today's ever-growing web, desktop, server and cloud development needs. Various implementations of Futures, Streams, Observables and Signals have been present in web development for years, but their use often failed to match even the least ambitious expectations and it's not for the reasons you think. Reactive Streams in SOP are a fundamental building block, not just another async pattern thrown into the mix. They can help you eliminate entire categories of bugs, reduce your code size by up to 90%, reduce your LLM token usage, deliver smaller bundles and ultimately more reliable and robust applications. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **🗣️Want to give a Talk?** ▶️ [https://viennajs.org/en/participate/give-a-talk](https://viennajs.org/en/participate/give-a-talk) **Location:** Eversports GmbH Jakov-Lind-Straße 13, 5th Floor 1020 Vienna, Austria **Sponsors:** 🙏 Eversports Eversports is a Vienna-based company founded in 2013 with the mission to "Make Sports Happen."

In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA
