How honest are we really — with others and with ourselves? Is there something as too much honesty? What are the pros and cons of being honest? How honest do you think you are? After some reflection and exploring key concepts about mindfulness and respectful communication we'll practice honesty through different exercises together. Expect a safe and welcoming atmosphere, light humor, practical communication tools, and space for both speaking and silent reflection. Come as you are — no skills or prior experience needed. \*\*\* If you RSVPed and your plans change, please update your status, to give others from the waitlist a chance. They really wanna join! 🤩 \*\*\* talkin' is an event series focusing on personal development and social adventures, hosted by amateurs and non-professionals.

In many organizations, APIs are treated as technical contracts — neat documentation of endpoints and payloads. But what if APIs could become something more: living expressions of the business domain itself? This talk examines how Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and modern API craftsmanship converge to establish a shared language between people and systems. We’ll walk through how techniques like Domain Storytelling, Event Storming, and Context Mapping can lead directly into OpenAPI and AsyncAPI specifications that reflect real domain intent — not just data structures. **How can LLM help?** Along the way, we’ll see how Large Language Models (LLMs) can amplify human creativity — helping teams turn visual domain artifacts into executable API contracts while preserving intent and nuance. Instead of replacing design thinking, AI becomes a collaborator in the craftsmanship process. Through practical examples, we’ll explore how bounded contexts define API boundaries, how ubiquitous language shapes resource and event models, and how contract-first design enables safe, evolutionary change. By the end, you’ll see APIs not merely as integration points, but as living domain boundaries to align architecture, business, and shared understanding. **About the speaker** [Annegret](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-annegret-junker-141a99a4/) is Chief Software Architect at codecentric AG in Germany. She has worked in software development for over 30 years. She worked in quite different roles and domains. She is especially interested in DDD, microservices, and everything else. She is working on a large integration project and defines APIs for partners. **The Sponsor** This time, the location, food, and drinks are sponsored by [TechTalk](https://techtalk.at/). Thank you very much, TechTalk, you rock! 🎉 This will be a joined event with the Domain-Driven Design Vienna Meetup ([https://www.meetup.com/ddd-vienna/](https://www.meetup.com/ddd-vienna/)) and it is enough to register for only one of the meetups. It is not necessary to register for both! Space is limited, so please register if you want to come. As always, we're very much looking forward to seeing you! Best regards, Daniel and Gottfried

We will look at how organizations understand agility today, the main barriers to scaling it, the rise of hybrid models, and the (still limited) role of AI in agile work. Attendees will leave with a clear picture of where Austrian companies stand — and what separates those who use Agile methods from those who truly live Agility!

We’re hosting an open Grief Café at Villa Vida Café, a monthly gathering for young adults who are navigating grief and want a space to talk, listen, or simply be around others who understand. This is a low-threshold, informal space. You can come as you are. Event Details Date: Friday, June 26 Time: 18:00–20:00 Location: Villa Vida Café, Vienna Entry: Free and open to everyone – NO registration necessary What to Expect The Grief Café Vienna offers a setting where grief is not avoided or hidden, but spoken about openly. There will be a short introduction at the beginning. After that, the space is yours. You can: Share your experiences Listen to others Sit quietly if that’s what you need Shape the space in a way that feels right for you There is no pressure to speak. Participation looks different for everyone. Who Is It For? This gathering is open to anyone experiencing grief, especially young adults looking for connection outside of clinical or formal settings. The group is: Non-religious Anti-authoritarian Open to all genders, sexualities, and backgrounds Why a Grief Café? Grief can be isolating. Many people don’t have spaces where they can talk about it honestly. The goal of this grief support group in Vienna is simple: Create a space where people in similar situations can meet, talk, and support each other. About the Organisers This initiative comes from a young adult grief support network that has been meeting informally in smaller groups. This event expands that into a more accessible, shared space. Follow them on Instagram: @young.adult.grief.support Accessibility Villa Vida Café is wheelchair accessible and includes an accessible toilet.

Your plant will have a chance to meet other house plants, make plant friends, and maybe even win some prizes. **What to bring:** \- One of your house plants **What we'll do:** \- Stuff **Where we'll do:** \- Check the location of the event again before you leave\. It's set for Grillplatz 8 at Donauinsel for now\. If it's taken already\, we'll be somewhere in that area\.

Open Shelter has teamed up again with Red White and Boom! Friday, July 3rd & we are looking for volunteers to run the event’s alcohol booths. Proceeds from sales go to the Open Shelter’s organization. There are two available shifts: 12-6p & 5-11p. There will be an ipad-like device to process transactions in addition to cash. Everything will be in bottles or cans, so transactions should be very easy. Must be 21+. There are multiple beverage stations along the Civic Center Bridge. The stations are covered and also have beverage trucks next to them, so volunteers can cool off in the trucks. As far as parking, it is suggested those who are coming from the east use the Columbus Commons Garage, and those from the west use the Belle Street Garage. Harry from the Open Shelter will be your contact.

Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events.
