**Does your LLM speak the same language as you?** *Context, Language & AI in Domain‑Driven Design* Zutaten allein reichen nicht. In Domain‑Driven Design (DDD) entscheiden Kontext, gemeinsame Sprache und Abgrenzung über gute Software – und über sinnvolle Nutzung von LLMs im Unternehmen. In diesem Meetup verbinden wir strategisches DDD, Ubiquitous Language und AI: * Warum Kontext wichtiger ist als Zutaten (erklärt am italienischen Dinner) * Warum gemeinsame Sprache kein Glossar, sondern ein Arbeitsinstrument ist * Wie viel Kontext ein LLM wirklich braucht – und warum unser Team denselben braucht Wir diskutieren LLMs nicht als Ersatz für Zusammenarbeit, sondern als **Verstärker von gutem Domain‑Wissen**. **Agenda** * Quick Intro: Kontext als roter Faden * Strategisches DDD: Zutaten ≠ Lösung * Ubiquitous Language: Sprache als Entscheidungsgrundlage * LLMs im Business: impliziter vs. expliziter Kontext * Diskussion & Q&A **Timeline** 🚪 17:00 Open doors 🎬 17:30 Official start 🍕 19:30 Pizza and Networking \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **English Version:** Does your LLM speak the same language as you?

We know that meeting new people in Vienna’s Meetup scene can feel a bit repetitive. While different hosts and formats exist, you often end up seeing the same faces. That’s why we’re shaking things up! We’ve teamed up with Mausen Bar to bring you an exciting new Board Game Night - one that goes beyond Meetup and expands your social circle even further! 📅 Every Tuesday (except some holidays/celebrations), 7-10PM 📍 Mausen Bar (Türkenstraße 33, 1090 Wien). Join us for an evening of fun, laughter, and great company. Whether you’re a board game enthusiast or just looking to meet new people in a relaxed setting, this is the perfect event for you! Plus, you can order delicious food and drinks right at the venue while you play. Come for the games, stay for the connections, and make Vienna feel even more like home. See you there! Please note that this free event is made possible through the generous support of the restaurant. In order to maintain a strong partnership and continue offering events like this at no cost, we kindly ask that all attendees support the venue by placing an order during their visit. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Every Jam, we aim to complrte a song and record a rough demo of it. Briing your own song idea or just join in the creative process. Numbers need to be very limited, so please don't say you will be attending if you are not.

**Wachau Trip: Scenic Hike & Dürnstein Ruins** ❗️Even if Meetup shows the event as full, please still join the WA group and fill out the registration form. The form will indicate whether there are still spots available for the hike❗️ Join the WA group for the information: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GqWhKBUCR5RAhI6WUguIcR?mode=gi_t —————— An adventure that’s still doable for most people — but not so easy that it gets boring. And trust me, the views are absolutely worth it. This one is going to be a hit. 📅 Date: June 7 🕒 Time: ~8:00 📍 Location: Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof **What makes it special:** — breathtaking viewpoints over the Danube valley — charming Dürnstein village — a visit to the famous castle ruins 📏 Distance: ~5–6 km ⛰ Elevation: ~330 m ⏱ Duration: ~2.5 hours (plus breaks & photos) **About the hike:** This route is sometimes classified as red or black. But I’ve done it several times, and it’s absolutely manageable if you’re reasonably active. It’s definitely more challenging than a typical Stadtwanderweg, but far from an extreme hike. ⚠️ **Expect:** – some steep and narrow sections with cables – a few rocky parts – beautiful exposed views 👉 You don’t need climbing experience, but you should: – feel comfortable walking on uneven terrain – not have a strong fear of heights – have basic fitness level Perfect for active people who want a bit of adventure, but not a hardcore hike. 🥾 Hiking shoes are a must 💶 **Participation fee:** 30 € (including train & bus tickets) 👥 **Group size:** strictly limited to 14 participants I keep the group intentionally small so the experience stays comfortable, safe, and enjoyable for everyone. **Participation is confirmed only after prepayment.** 🎫 **If you have a Klimaticket:** Just mention it in the registration form, and you’ll only pay a 12 € organizational fee. In case of bad weather conditions the trip will be postponed. 🚸The main goal of my trips is about enjoying the moment, meeting new people, and making beautiful places accessible even if you’re not a pro. ——————— ❗️Please make sure to fill out the registration form: the link will be posted in the WA group ❗️
