Walk & Talk Wien
**Walk & Talk**
Willst du auch mehr Bewegung in dein Leben bringen? Und dich dabei noch gut unterhalten, so dass die Zeit verfliegt?
Dann bist du hier genau richtig, denn mir geht es genauso. Alleine ist langweilig und die Zeit vergeht nicht, daher hab ich mir Walk & Talk überlegt. Inspiriert wurde ich durch die Walk & Talk Gruppe in Hamburg, wo ich mehrere Male dabei war als ich in Hamburg lebte. Unterschiedliche Menschen treffen sich einmal in der Woche für einen flotten Spaziergang und unterhalten sich dabei. Ich liebe es neue Menschen kennenzulernen und auch bekannte Gesichter wiederzusehen, dann geh ich ganz nebenbei und das macht auch noch Spaß.😊
**Walk:**
Wir brauchen einfach regelmäßige Bewegung und ich weiß selbst, wie schwierig es ist, diese in den Alltag zu integrieren. Deshalb ist dieser Walk genau richtig. Nach diesem Spaziergang fühlst du dich einfach wohl, fit und entspannt.
**Talk:**
Das Reden kommt ganz von selbst beim Gehen. Du kannst über alles reden, egal, ob privates oder berufliches, alles was sich ergibt ist willkommen. Und wenn du keinen Bock aufs Reden hast, dann gehst du alleine, auch das ist völlig in Ordnung.
**Wie das ganze abläuft:**
* Die Teilnahme ist völlig kostenlos.
* Wo: U6 Spittelau (im Freien), Richtung Donaukanal, Ausgang Josef-Holaubek-Platz, direkt vor dem Fernwärme-Turm (https://maps.app.goo.gl/XwAayz4FQe2EW8WK9)
* Wann: Wir treffen uns dienstags um 13 Uhr, egal, ob bei Regen, Sturm und Kälte oder bestem Sonnenschein – Walk & Talk findet nahezu JEDE Woche statt außer ich bin mal im Urlaub.
* Wir starten pünktlich und beginnen mit einer kurzen Vorstellungsrunde.
* Wie gehen am Donaukanal entlang von Höhe Spittelau bis zum Schwedenplatz und zurück.
* Ca. 7 Kilometer sind wir unterwegs und unterhalten uns dabei mit interessanten Menschen. Dabei kannst du neue Bekanntschaften schließen, dich inspirieren lassen, von Projekten erzählen oder einfach nur smalltalken und die frische Luft genießen. Alles ist erlaubt.
* Nach ca. 1,75 Stunden sind wir wieder am Ausgangspunkt zurück.
* Bei einer Teilnahme von über 5 Personen gehen wir in Paaren und wechseln diese alle 10 Min. Wenn du aber lieber alleine gehst, ist das auch vollkommen in Ordnung.
* Für alle, die einfach mal etwas Neues ausprobieren wollen.
**Bist du bereit?**
Dann komm mit!
**Start bei U6 Spittelau Ausgang Donaukanal**
Nochmal: um **PUNKT 13.00 Uhr dort sein**, denn **nach kurzen Vorstellungsrunde gehen wir gleich los. Sei pünktlich, denn die Gruppe wartet nicht.**
Du musst nichts vorbereiten oder dich gar anmelden, komm einfach vorbei. Ausreden gibt es nicht. Geh mit und freu dich auf eine tolle neue Erfahrung.
**Wer macht es?**
Ich bin Marie Meyer-Marktl und Ideengeberin, Host und Organisatorin von Walk & Talk. Ich unterstütze seit 2019 Menschen dabei Freude ins Arbeitsleben zu bekommen und bin Business und Life Coachin. „Strahle, wenn du an deine Arbeit denkst“, ist meine Vision für jedermann und jedefrau. Privat merkte ich, dass ich endlich wieder mehr Bewegung brauche – und das klappt am besten gemeinsam mit anderen Menschen. Sei dabei bei Walk & Talk und bring Bewegung in dein Leben.
**Do you speak English? Then welcome to Walk & Talk!**
This event is suited for all people who like to connect to other people and like to walk. The beauty of this regular event is that you are in the nature and you walk around 7 kilometers. In the meantime, if you feel for it, you talk, if not, you just walk. You do something for your health, get to know new people and you will feel much better.
It’s FREE, all you need to do is to show up this Tuesday at no later than 1 pm at the U6 Spittelau exit to Donaukanal.

**Daniel Toth (Co-Founder & CEO Klartext AI)**
Daniel reports on his team's journey: from quickly discarding the original product idea to switching to a service model and growing to nine employees within a very short time.
Lessons learned from eight years of Fraunhofer research and the hard school of bootstrapping. He explains why “human in the loop” is not just a buzzword for them, but the foundation for quality, and how extremely fast iterations (POCs) build trust with customers.
Key takeaways from the talk:

Informal discussion: Burnout, ADHD and the Search for Meaning in Modern Society
Many people today feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected despite living in a time of unprecedented comfort and opportunity.
In this first gathering of the **Vienna Mind & Meaning Circle**, we will explore the psychological and societal factors behind burnout, attention difficulties, and the growing search for meaning in modern life.
We will discuss questions such as:
* Why do so many people feel chronically exhausted?
* Why do so many people feel exhausted despite modern comfort?
* Is burnout mainly a personal problem or a societal one?
* What role does attention fragmentation (social media, multitasking) play?
* How does modern society shape attention and ADHD-like experiences?
* Why are so many people today searching for meaning?
* What role does meaning and purpose play in psychological well-being?
The event will begin with a short introduction followed by an open discussion where everyone is welcome to share ideas and perspectives.
This is not a lecture but a **small discussion circle** designed for thoughtful conversation.
No background in psychology is required - curiosity is enough.
This event will be limited to 13 people and the places will be given in a first come first serve basis.
#1 PostgreSQL Meetup Wien
**Finally!** The first **PostgreSQL Meetup in Vienna** is coming up!
Exciting talks and networking opportunities around PostgreSQL are waiting for you.
Meet fellow Vienna-based and international PostgreSQL enthusiasts at this meetup and take the opportunity to connect locally and exchange ideas.
**When:** March 18, 2026 — 6:30 PM to 10:00 PM
**Where:** [Dotbite](https://dotbite.at/) GmbH, Barichgasse 38/1/6, 1030 Vienna
**Preliminary Agenda:**
6:30–7:00 PM — Doors open & registration, networking
7:00–7:15 PM — Welcome & opening
7:15–7:30 PM — Sponsor introduction: Dotbite
7:30–8:05 PM — Stop Guessing, Start Indexing: A Developer’s Guide to Database Indexes (by Rajeet Kumar)
8:05–8:15 PM — Break
8:15–8:50 PM — Is your PostgreSQL truly Cloud(native)? (by Jan Karremans)
8:50–9:00 PM — Break
9:00–9:20 PM — pgcov: Bringing Real Test Coverage to PostgreSQL Code (by Pavlo Golub)
9:20–9:30 PM — Closing
9:30–10:00 PM — Networking & snacks
\*\*\*\*\* Session Details \*\*\*\*\*
**Speaker 1:** Rajeet Kumar
**Title:** Stop Guessing, Start Indexing: A Developer’s Guide to Database Indexes
A lot of developers know that indexes make queries faster, but many don’t know why, when an index will actually be used, or why some queries ignore them completely.
In this talk, we open that black box.
We build a mental model of the B-Tree, the structure used by most databases for their default indexes, and look at its internal layout.
Using that model, we’ll explore where B-Tree indexes shine, where they fail, the costs associated with them, and how selectivity affects whether an index is used.
Finally, we’ll briefly look at practical techniques such as covering indexes and functional indexes.
**Speaker 2:** Jan Karremans
**Title:** Is your PostgreSQL truly Cloud(native)?
As organizations modernize their platforms with containers, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and microservices, databases are often the last piece to truly transform. Simply lifting and shifting PostgreSQL to a cloud VM does not automatically make it cloud-native. So what does?
We’ll cut through the buzzword bingo and examine what they mean for PostgreSQL in real-world environments. Drawing from decades of database experience and years running PostgreSQL in Kubernetes, this session highlights how cloud-native principles such as automation, resilience, observability, and rapid redeployment reshape the way developers and DBAs collaborate.
Whether you are a developer, DBA, architect, or decision-maker, this talk will help you assess where you stand today and what it takes to make PostgreSQL a true enabler of speed and innovation in modern cloud environments.
**Speaker 3:** Pavlo Golub
**Title:** Bringing Real Test Coverage to PostgreSQL Code
**Abstract:** https://posetteconf.com/2026/talks/pgcov-bringing-real-test-coverage-to-postgresql-code/
\*\*\*\*\*
Snacks and drinks will be provided.
A big thank you to [Dotbite](https://dotbite.at/), our main sponsor, for hosting us and providing food and drinks!

The Psychology and Personal Growth Circle: How To Know A Person by David Brooks
Welcome to our cozy **The Psychology and Personal Growth Circle** which is part of the Social Book Club!
We will meet to discuss the book “**How To Know A Person"** (306 pages) written by David Brooks.
The idea is to connect with like minded readers that love to grow and get to know themselves better through reading and especially applying knowledge from books.
We meet up once a month and talk about our progress applying knowledge from a certain book and our experience.
The event will take place at the volunteer organisation **MUT**.
It is an organisation to supports humans, animals and the environment especially in Vienna.
MUT or the Social Book Club look forward to some donation to cover the cost of this event.
If you would like to help, please bring some cash with you.
Book Description:
If you are going to care for someone, you must first understand them. If you're going to hire, marry, or befriend someone, you have to be able to see them. If you are going to work closely with someone, you have to be able to make them feel recognized and valued. As David Brooks observes, "The older I get, the more I come to the certainty that there is one skill at the center of any healthy family, company, classroom, community or the ability to see each other, to know other people, to make them feel valued, heard and understood."
And yet we humans don't do this well. All around us are people who feel invisible, unseen, misunderstood. In *How to Know a Person*, Brooks sets out to help us to do better, posing questions that are essential for all of us. If you want to know a person, what kind of attention should you cast on them? What kind of conversations should you have? What parts of a person's story should you pay attention to?
See you then!
All the best
Sebastian

Friday Night at Junto - French Conversation Group
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. 20 Mars (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, 20 March (friday) 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.
Driving Success with Agentic AI for Software Development Discussion
Join us for an engaging panel discussion on **AI Agentic Coding** and how autonomous AI systems are transforming the way software is built. Experts in AI, software engineering, and developer tools will share insights on how agentic AI—systems that can plan, reason, and execute coding tasks—is reshaping modern development workflows.
The discussion will cover topics such as AI-assisted development, productivity gains, challenges around reliability and governance, and what the future of software engineering may look like with AI agents as collaborators. Whether you’re a developer, tech leader, or AI enthusiast, this session is a great opportunity to learn, ask questions, and explore how agentic AI is redefining coding
From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
**Abstract**
Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively.
This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way.
