Execution with Style — Vienna Co-Working Lab
Welcome to **Execution with Style**, a weekly co-working lab for freelancers, creators, founders, and builders who want structure, accountability, and real momentum. We combine **deep focus + small-group pressure + a playful self-expression twist**. When we wear something unusual, we step outside our normal identity.
That’s when creativity becomes easier.
📲 **Want reminders or to connect with others before/after?**
Join our [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/K6LidaoQhe16wZ0Se9pNM6), Keep contact via [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nocrastinationclub/)
**Execution with Style** 👗🧥✨
Each session, you’re invited to wear **clothes that you don’t normally wear**.
Something expressive.
Something bold.
Something unusual.
**Examples:**
* the jacket that never leaves your closet
* something colorful or dramatic
* something funny / absurd
* something you “could never pull off”… until today
No pressure — but if you join in, be ready to share the story behind it.
**Self-expression + execution = momentum.**
**Location**
* Our weekly co-working sessions take place at creative, cozy hotel lobby **Jaz in the City in central Vienna**.
* Regular participants may also be privately invited to occasional **Skyscraper Secret Sessions** — spontaneous small-group co-working gatherings at a private skyline location with **free tea & coffee**, plus **gym and shower access**.
* These special sessions are **invitation-only** and shared privately with regular members of the community.
🕐 **Time**: 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM Every Tuesday
📍 **Location**: Jaz in the City – Ground Floor Lounge: Windmühlgasse 28, 1060 Vienna, Austria
💻 **Bring**: Your laptop, journal, creative tools, or anything you’ve been procrastinating on
🌿 **Hosted by**: NoCrastination. See you in front of the ground floor bar ✨ you will see us sitting with our laptops
☕ Please do order something from the bar, so as to keep us in their good graces! Coffee price: Espresso: €3.5, Americano: €4.5, Latte: €5.5.
Donations optional.
**🪑Seating information:**
* If this is your first time joining us, please look for **Joanna Liu** when you arrive at the **Ground Floor Bar** (not at the hotel reception).
* There is a **long table with 12 seats** for those joining the **peer accountability session** — please arrive on time if you’d like to sit here.
* There are also **round tables nearby** for anyone who prefers a more flexible setup.
* If you’d like to **work independently (without the Pomodoro arrangement)** but still be part of the group energy, just let Joanna know — we’ll make sure you’re comfortably included. 💛
🌱 **What to Expect**
* **Drop in anytime** between **1:00–5:00 PM** — stay for a bit or settle in for the whole session
* **Clarify your goals**: write down your measurable tasks for the day on a Post-it when you arrive
* **Two spaces**: one for quiet focus, one for casual conversation. After each focus session, if you’re still in the flow, feel free to remain seated — no need to move. If you're up for a chat, join others in the social area for a relaxed break.
* **Social start**: from **1:00 to 1:28 PM**, we mingle and get to know each other; our first focus session begins at **1:30 PM**
* **Gentle structure**: we begin with a soft check-in and intention round
* **Pomodoro-style rhythm**: We work in 45-minute focus blocks followed by 15-minute social breaks. If 45 minutes feels too long, feel free to break it into two 20-minute focus sessions with a short 5-minute reset in between. You’ll need to self-regulate these shorter cycles, just tune into your own flow and rejoin when ready.
* **Quiet companionship**: no pressure to talk during focus time — just shared presence and support
* **Welcoming space**: we meet in the creative, cozy lobby of the **Jaz in the City**
💡 **New to Pomodoro?** Don’t worry — we’ll guide you gently. No apps or timers needed.
**Who This Is For**
You’ll enjoy this if you:
* want real accountability (not just a desk)
* have a project, goal, or task you’ve been procrastinating on
* like focused work blocks with a supportive vibe
* are building something (job search, freelancing, creative work, admin, studying, side project, etc.)
💬 Why Join?
* Beat procrastination with gentle accountability
* Reclaim your momentum without doing it alone
* Enjoy a change of scenery that boosts your focus
**Group Size:**
This is designed as a **small execution lab** (limited spots) to keep the energy focused and the accountability real.
Bring your project. Bring your presence. Let’s work side-by-side. 💚

🦞OpenClaw & Codex - Lightning Talks Night
**[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!**

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?**
This week's event will be hosted by Sridhar (Srinivasan) one of our regulars, who is rediscovering the joy of being in nature and in community. He enjoys the stimulating interactions that arise from new connections while walking, and hopes that others also find their spark and are moved to flow, that eventually fulfills them.
**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.

KI, Kognition und Burnout: Was tun, wenn Effizienz den Flow killt?
**KI, Kognition und Burnout: Was tun, wenn Effizienz den Flow killt?**
KI impliziert die Hoffnung, sich - von langweiligen Tätigkeiten befreit - endlich kreativen und spannenden Dingen widmen zu können. Jedoch häufen sich Sorgen um mögliche Nebenwirkungen: Begriffe wie **KI Burnout**, **KI Fatigue** und **KI Workslop** sprießen nur so aus Studien und Social Media Posts. In diesem Talk geht es um Zusammenhänge zwischen Burnout, Cognitive Load, Flow und den Einsatz von KI Tools - und um mögliche Lösungsansätze.
**Sabine Ballata** ist Co-Founderin von Kokoro ([www.bekokoro.com](http://www.bekokoro.com/)), wo sie Produktdesign und Strategie leitet. Über ihre berufliche Tätigkeit hinaus engagiert sie sich aktiv in der Design-Community und leitet seit Oktober 2018 den UX Vienna Book Club, um den Wissensaustausch unter UX-Praktiker:innen zu fördern.

**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

CBusData - Discover the Power of Window Functions
Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems:
* Using running totals
* Performing operations in intervals
* Identifying data gaps and islands
* Performing aggregates without losing detail
Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.

Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone
Drake Lundstrom is presenting:
Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone
Abstract:
Have you heard the trend of people deploying code anywhere from checkout lines to doctors' offices? In this talk, you will learn how to talk to your phone and have an app on Azure to show your friend 5 minutes later. The basic DevOps tools you already know, plus a little bit of AI magic, are all you need!
If you want to follow along, the demo will be in Azure with GitHub Actions and GitHub Copilot, and you can have it set up on your phone by the end of the session. Just come in with an Azure account and a GitHub repo.
Join us for pizza, drinks, and networking @ Improving's office. Doors open at 5:45.
