**[UPDATE Feb 26]** We have some **incredibly good news** 🎉🥳 for you, but before we get to that (**read to the end!**), we must reiterate our call for lightning talks: 📢 **Call for Lightning Talks — We Want YOU on Stage!** **We need 6–7 more speakers** (we already have 3 confirmed) who want to share something cool they've built with OpenClaw or Codex in a **maximum of 7 minutes**. **What we're looking for:** * OpenClaw agents and automations you've built * Creative Codex workflows and coding setups * Combinations of OpenClaw + Codex (or other AI tools) * Lessons learned, fails, surprises — the real stuff * Anything that makes the audience go "wait, you can do THAT?" You don't need perfect slides or a rehearsed talk. Just show up with a demo, a workflow, a lesson learned or even a spectacular failure. 7 minutes, that's it. **How to submit:** Write us an email at **[viennaaiengineering+speakers@gmail.com](viennaaiengineering+speakers@gmail.com)**. A few sentences about what you would present is enough. First come, first served. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🎉 Now to the great news: 📍 **We have a much bigger venue: Magenta HQ** Demand for this meetup has blown past what we imagined and what our Greentube venue could handle, so our friends at **Magenta** jumped in to help — their venue gives us room for a much bigger audience. A huge thanks to Magenta and especially to Georg for getting this approved so quickly! Find the exact address in the location section. The rest remains unchanged: **same date, same time, same schedule**. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🥳 And now for the amazing news that probably everybody has been hoping for: 🦞 **The Clawfather is joining us!** The Clawfather himself, **Peter Steinberger**, will greet the Vienna OpenClaw community from SF via **live stream**. So see you at **Magenta**, and for Pete's sake, submit your lightning talk to **[viennaaiengineering+speakers@gmail.com](viennaaiengineering+speakers@gmail.com)** ! **[END UPDATE]** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Hello everyone! We're beyond excited to announce the 🦞**OpenClaw & Codex Edition** of our **Vienna AI Engineering Meetup** on Tuesday, March 10th! Once again, we'll be hosted by **Magenta Telekom** at their HQ on Rennweg 97-99. **This one is going to be different.** If you've been following what's happening in the OpenClaw community, you know the energy is through the roof. The recent OpenClaw Vienna Meetup organized by **Peter Steinberger** was an absolute blast, and we knew immediately: we need to bring this energy to our next meetup. So here's the plan: **we're doing lightning talks.** Short, punchy, **7-minute** demos and mini talks - no death by PowerPoint, just builders showing what they've built. The topics: **OpenClaw** and **coding with OpenAI Codex**. Whether you've wired up an OpenClaw agent to automate your entire deployment pipeline, built something weird and wonderful with Codex, or found a creative way to combine the two — we want to hear about it. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 📢 **Call for Lightning Talks — We Want YOU on Stage!** This is the heart of the event. We're looking for **8–10 speakers** who want to share something cool they've built with OpenClaw or Codex in a **maximum of 7 minutes**. **What we're looking for:** \- OpenClaw agents and automations you've built \- Creative Codex workflows and coding setups \- Combinations of OpenClaw \+ Codex \(or other AI tools\) \- Lessons learned\, fails\, surprises — the real stuff \- Anything that makes the audience go "wait\, you can do THAT?" To keep it simple and engaging, you don't need to prepare a big polished slide deck. Just make 2-3 slides explaining the main ideas and show us what you've built or learned, ideally with a demo. Our main goal is to have fun and inspire eachother. **How to submit:** Drop us a message on [meetup.com](meetup.com) or write us an email at **[viennaaiengineering+speakers@gmail.com](viennaaiengineering+speakers@gmail.com)**. A few sentences about what you would present and why you think the audience absolutely needs to hear it are enough. First come, first served. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🎉 **Welcome Alex Gavrilescu as Co-Organizer!** Furthermore we're thrilled to announce that **Alex Gavrilescu** is joining the organization of the Vienna AI Engineering Meetups! Many of you already know Alex. He's been a speaker at our meetup several times, most recently with his talks on the Cambrian Explosion of Agentic AI and his Backlog.md deep dives.

UX Vienna Evening Meetups are on the 2nd tuesday of every month — 12 times a year. This time we meet at [BarnVentures](https://barn-ventures.com/) with one talk (and more time for socialising!) **Talk:** **Lovable Product Discovery Machine: How to effectively kickstart Product Discovery** The Lovable Prompting Machine built with Lovable and Claude transforms product thinking into ready-to-use prototypes—instantly.
The core idea: People can think and act like a designer or product creator - the AI handles the prompting quality. Kickstarting the discovery phase for a new product can be done instantly. Perfect for: Product creators and designers who want to validate ideas quickly without the setup overhead.

All I ask is that you come with a good mood, be respectful to everyone, and pay online using the link below.

We need to respect current regulations in Vienna, Austria. The main priorities are to have fun and being safe. The drinks are relatively free after the game in the local pub, served to those who have shown fantastic football fair-play skills. We will confirm the location, the pitches, and the dressing room numbers via our dedicated Football WhatsApp group/s. Keep an eye out for the group messages. See you all soon.

If someone is talking bad, complaining, insulting someone, fouling on purpose or committing the usual football shenanigans, please let the organizers know. Measures will be taken, we assure you. Any misbehavior on your part, such as responding in an obscene way, fighting, or leaving the pitch is not a practical and diplomatic way of resolving the issues (it tends to create more tension and cause more problems). Let’s be respectful and mature and try to enjoy the game we all love. That’s why we’re all here. Get to know people from all over the world and have fun! Thank you. Sorin

KubeCon is around the corner, and to get you in the mood for this, you get the next **Cloud Native Vienna Meetup** \- and this time\, we’re stepping into the "Upside Down\." Join us at [karriere.at](karriere.at) for an evening of deep-dive technical sessions and high-bandwidth networking. Whether you're hunting for Demogorgons in your logs or just trying to scale your Internal Developer Platform, we’ve got you covered. Agenda: * 17:30 - Doors Open * 17:55 - Welcome from the Organizers * 18:00 - Talk 1: Manav Singh ([karriere.at](www.karriere.at)) - homelabbing@karriere.at - Enabling Devs to Break the Cloud * 18:45 - Break / Networking * 19:00 - Talk 2: Andi Grabner ([Dynatrace](www.dynatrace.com)) - Stranger Platform Engineering: The Two Sides of Observability in Your IDP * 19:45 - Networking \-\-\- Manav Singh **Homelabbing@karriere.at - Enabling Devs to Break the Cloud** \-\-\-\- Andi Grabner **Stranger Platform Engineering: The Two Sides of Observability in Your IDP** Your Internal Developer Platform lives in two worlds. In the **Right Side Up**, developers rely on self‑service observability to build, deploy, operate and debug their apps. In the **Upside Down**, the platform itself must be observable to ensure its reliability, performance, and to understand usage patterns and adoption. **The twist?** these two worlds are not separate. Improving observability *of* the platform directly improves the observability *for* the applications built on top of it. Just like in *Stranger Things*, observability becomes the force that connects both realities—creating feedback loops, strengthening the platform’s foundations, and enabling teams to spot issues before they cross between worlds. This talk reveals why mastering both sides of observability is essential for any modern IDP. Expect real-world examples, a few supernatural analogies, and practical guidance you can bring back to your platform team—no Demogorgon hunting required

**Update**: due to the high number of interested parties, we have had to change the venue to Cafe Museum on Karlsplatz. New year, new format. With the **AI Breakfast**, we’re creating a San-Francisco-style morning gathering for the Austrian AI ecosystem: casual, high-signal, no stage, no slides — just real conversations. This is an open exchange for decision-makers, deep tech builders, Clawdbotlers, founders, CIOs, researchers, public sector innovators and anyone actively shaping AI. Corporate meets startup, policy meets engineering, research meets product. The goal is simple: meaningful connections, sharp discussions, and cross-pollination of ideas — before 9am. Breakfast is ordered at your own expense. The table is reserved under **Cristian Hofmann** / **AI Austria**. Seats are limited. Your host Cristian Hofmann, Amin Khater & Ruben Hetfleisch will welcome you. 👉 Please only RSVP if you truly plan to attend 🙂

Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations. 
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that. We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus. 
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn. 
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play. 
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders… 
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords… 
IMPORTANT: 
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for. 
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.

Bring your work or your hobby, hang out, and code with us. Follow @buckeyecocoa for more information.
