## Learn Go and NixOS deployments with large language models Hello, 世界! When used sensibly, language models can be tutors, too. For meetup #60 on Tuesday [May 26, 2026 19:00 CET](https://www.meetup.com/leipzig-golang/events/312537727) we are really happy to have [Maxime](https://www.linkedin.com/in/plumps/) dive into Nix/NixOS with the help of language models. Nix is a functional package manager and its immutable traits enable robust, reproducable deployments of Go (and other) projects. The high level goals of Nix/NixOS are similar to other immutable Linux distributions, like [Silverblue](https://fedoraproject.org/silverblue/) or [Bazzite](https://bazzite.gg/). Becoming familiar with the Nix configuration language can be a challenge, but one that a well instructed tutor may help with. > Artificial intelligence techniques are increasingly used in education to enable personalized learning and intelligent tutoring [LLM Agents for Education: Advances and Applications](https://aclanthology.org/anthology-files/anthology-files/pdf/findings/2025.findings-emnlp.743.pdf) (11/2025) Why reproducible and immutable deployments play a role? [Justin Garrison](https://justingarrison.com/blog/state-of-immutable-linux/) says: > It’s 2026, if you’re not using something immutable (or at least reproducable) you’re doing more maintenance work than you should. [blog post recapping talk from [Southern California Linux Expo 23x](https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/23x)], 03/2026, PASADENA, CA ### Schedule * 18:45 Doors open * 19:00 Welcome * 19:10 Dive into Nix/NixOS with LLMs * 19:50 Open discussion We’ll meet: * in person at [Basislager Leipzig](https://basislager.co), at [Peterssteinweg 14, 04107 Leipzig](https://maps.app.goo.gl/1fMkeDSPZ7Aauszh8) ([OSM](https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3504864558)) * and online via [https://meet.google.com/drk-bptj-xss](https://meet.google.com/drk-bptj-xss) Join us to discuss robust Go deployments, language models as learning tools and more!

**[BUCH DEINEN PLATZ IM KELLER HIER!!!](https://www.universe.com/events/comedy-im-keller-wiens-underground-stand-up-open-mic-thecomedypub-tickets-30RBKX?ref=MeetUp)** **Deutschsprachiges Comedy Open Mic in Wiens schönstem Keller. Neue Comedians, frische Jokes, freier Eintritt – jeden Dienstag im Comedy Pub.** Willkommen zu **Comedy im Keller**, dem dienstäglichen Highlight der Wiener Comedy-Szene! Hier trifft sich jede Woche ein wilder Mix aus aufstrebenden Newcomern und erfahrenen Stand-up-Comedians, um neue Gags auszuprobieren, mutige Ideen zu testen und das Publikum im historischen Keller vom *The Comedy Pub* zum Lachen zu bringen. Der Name ist Programm: In Wien geht man zum Lachen in den Keller – und bei uns stimmt das zu 100%. Unser wunderschöner Altbaukeller bietet ein echtes **Underground-Feeling** mit einer intimen Atmosphäre, die dir das Gefühl gibt, Teil von etwas Besonderem zu sein. ## 🤔 Was ist ein Open Mic? Ein Open Mic ist die Werkstatt der Stand-up-Comedy. Hier entstehen neue Bits, werden Witze gefeilt und spontane Momente geboren. Mal landet ein Joke punktgenau, mal scheitert er glorreich – aber genau das macht den Reiz aus. Das Publikum erlebt Comedy **ungeschönt, unzensiert und hautnah**. ## 🍻 The Comedy Pub – Pub oben, Lacher unten Der **Comedy Pub** ist einzigartig in Wien: oben Irish Pub mit kalten Drinks und lebendiger Atmosphäre, unten Altbaukeller mit Comedy-Club-Flair. Eine perfekte Kombination, um nach der Arbeit in die Woche zu starten: erst ein Bier an der Bar, dann ein Abend voller Lacher im Keller. Adresse: Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Wien – direkt bei der U4-Station Kettenbrückengasse. ## 💡 Eintritt frei – Spenden willkommen Comedy lebt vom Publikum. Deine Reaktionen – Lachen, Klatschen oder auch mal Schweigen – helfen den Comedians, besser zu werden. Deshalb ist der Eintritt kostenlos, aber Spenden sind ausdrücklich erwünscht. Wenn du lachst, wirf ein paar Münzen in den Hut – das ist die ehrlichste Form von Applaus. ## 🎟️ Regeln für das Publikum Damit alle eine gute Zeit haben, bitten wir dich um ein paar einfache Dinge: * Sei pünktlich – Comedy wartet nicht. * Respektiere die Bühne – keine Gespräche während der Show. * Lachen ist Pflicht! (und zwar laut 😉) * Kein Heckling – wirklich, das endet nie gut. * Spenden sind Liebe. Zeig den Comedians, dass sie dich zum Lachen gebracht haben. ## 🎉 Warum Dienstag? Weil die Woche besser startet, wenn du lachst. **Comedy im Keller** ist der perfekte Anti-Dienstags-Blues: frisch, roh, nahbar und immer überraschend. Jeder Abend hat ein neues Line-up, also lohnt es sich, immer wiederzukommen. #ComedyImKeller #ComedyWien #StandupWien #OpenMicWien #DeutschComedy #WienLacht #ComedyNightWien #ComedyClubWien #StandupComedyWien #LachenInWien #ComediansWien #LiveComedyWien #ComedyFansWien #ComedySzeneWien #KellerComedy #ComedyShowWien #WienEvents #WienNightlife #ComedyLovers #WienOpenMic #GermanComedy #ComedyVienna #ViennaComedy #StandupVienna #ViennaEvents #ViennaNightlife #ViennaOpenMic #ViennaStandup #ViennaFun #ViennaUnderground #ComedyLifeWien #WienHumor #StandupSceneWien #LaughsInVienna #ComedySpotWien #FunnyInWien #AltbaukellerComedy #ViennaLaughs #DienstagWien #UndergroundComedy

Welcome to our May Meetup event for great talks, discussions and beers. We will meet at the Dynatrace office, thanks for hosting! **Agenda**: * Doors open 5:30 p.m. * ***Talk 1: 6:00 to 6:30 p.m.*** * **Speaker**: Philipp Maier * **Title**: Beyond the Fork: A 2026 Perspective on Terraform and OpenTofu * **Abstract**: Both Terraform and OpenTofu are industry-standard tools used to automate the provisioning and management of infrastructure through code. In this session, we will start at Commit b145fbc from 2023 and shortly review what happened back then and how OpenTofu started. We will then explore the technical divergence between Terraform and OpenTofu as of 2026 and how their managed ecosystems have evolved, looking at the practical trade-offs for our own projects. * **Break: 6:30 to 6:45 p.m.** * ***Talk 2: 6:45 to 7:30 p.m.*** * **Speaker**: Sahil Sharma * **Title**: Kafka on Kubernetes: Building a Full-Stack Streaming Environment with Strimzi. * **Abstract:** Running Apache Kafka on Kubernetes was once considered a daunting task. However, the Strimzi operator has simplified this process, making it possible to manage complex streaming infrastructure through a declarative approach. In this session, we will demonstrate how to bridge the gap between local development and production patterns by deploying a full-stack Kafka environment inside a Kind cluster. We will walk through a live setup including: \- Cluster Provisioning: Using Strimzi to deploy a functional Kafka cluster in seconds\. \- Management & Visibility: Integrating Kafbat UI to inspect topics and messages\. \- Observability: Implementing a Grafana and Prometheus \+ AlertManager stack to track broker health and consumer lag\. \- Application Flow: Deploying a producer and consumer to validate the end\-to\-end data pipeline using Confluent library\. Whether you are building a local sandbox or planning a larger rollout, you will leave with a repeatable template for a fully observable Kafka ecosystem on Kubernetes. * **Networking**: start 7:45 p.m.

Dear Data Enthusiasts, Join us again on **29th of May** at **A1** to learn about the psychological implications on employees when transforming the data landscape of an organization. In addition, we will finally have a talk about the open source framework Metaxy and how it can help to cut costs of multimodal AI pipelines. A big thanks goes to our co-organizers from the A1 Telekom and our sponsor Cloudera! **A Psychological Autopsy of a Data Transformation** *Dávid Farkas* Five years ago, a small European university decided to build and implement a data strategy from scratch. Greenfield in the truest sense: data governance was an unheard term and in practice it meant local Excel files duplicated across inboxes; "the database" usually referred to whichever spreadsheet someone had emailed most recently. Over four years, we designed and rolled out new systems, established governance structures, hired a team, and delivered real wins. We also watched a significant portion of the work get undone in months once leadership changed. This talk is a psychological autopsy of that transformation — what was planned, what worked, what quietly collapsed, and why. Universities are an unusually honest laboratory for studying data initiatives: decentralized power, competing stakeholder logics, weak formal hierarchies, and ambiguous success metrics make every human dysfunction that exists in corporate environments more visible. Drawing on behavioural science and nearly five years leading this initiative, I'll walk through the recurring failure patterns I see across data and AI projects more broadly — algorithm aversion, NIH syndrome, the gap between executive sponsorship and operational ownership, and the under-recognised role of organisational identity in determining which systems survive a leadership change. The argument is not that technology doesn't matter — it's that the human substrate determines whether any of it sticks. Borrowing Kranzberg: technology is never neutral, and neither are the people implementing it. **Dávid Farkas** is a research psychologist (PhD) and data scientist based in Budapest. He co-founded Principle Zero, which helps companies, NGOs, and researchers take on complex challenges in data strategy, digital and AI transformation, research, product development, and science communication. We bring behavioural science to problems most consultancies treat as purely technical, focusing on the human and organisational factors that determine whether ambitious projects survive contact with reality. Previously he led data science and digitalisation at MOME Budapest, with earlier industry experience applying machine learning. **Optimizing Multimodal AI Pipelines with Metaxy** *Georg Heiler, Hernan Picatto* The AI era has caused a fundamental shift in computing, moving us toward complex multimodal pipelines. However, these new systems are often incredibly wasteful. Right now, small changes to an input can trigger massive recomputations across very expensive processing steps. In this talk, we will explore Metaxy, an open source Python framework built to solve this exact problem. Metaxy provides sample level metadata versioning and acts as the universal glue for incremental data pipelines. We will discuss how its field level provenance allows your pipeline to only recompute what actually changed. If you update an audio file, for example, Metaxy knows to skip downstream face recognition steps that only rely on video. Whether you are a startup stretching your compute budget, an enterprise scaling ML infrastructure, or a researcher in academia, you will learn how to use Metaxy to iterate faster, cut cloud costs, and build highly efficient AI workflows. **Georg Heiler** is a co-founder @Jubust and a Senior data expert at Magenta as well as a ML-ops engineer at ASCII. He is solving challenges with data. His interests include geospatial graphs and time series. Georg transitions the data platform of Magenta to the cloud and is handling large scale multi-modal ML-ops challenges at ASCII. **Hernan Picatto** is a Computer Science PhD candidate at the Vienna University of Technology researching firm-level supply chains and corporate networks using NLP and Common Crawl data. Formerly an engineer at JPMorgan Chase and ZhiZhouKeji, he holds an MA from UCSD. His broad interests span big data, visualization, and time series causality. 🎤🎤 Open Mic We are going to open up the stage after the talks for community announcements.

Special (aka "no time to prepare more") - Edition of the **PostgreSQL Meetup in Vienna** is coming up! We have no talks planned, no agenda in place. Just join for drinks and meals and networking with other PostgreSQL people. **When:** May 28, 2026 — 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM **Where:** tbd Vienna **Preliminary Agenda:** The group makes the agenda :) please RSVP. I will organize a place to meet, drink & eat.

*This event is free of charge and only takes place on-site!* *Language of the Meetup: ENGLISH 🇬🇧* **Talk #1: Architecting relationship-aware long-term memory for AI agents** [Tarun Jain, Founding Engineer and GDE in AI] Most developers building AI Agents focus on reasoning and planning, but quietly ignore what matters most: Memory. Stateless agents respond in isolation, while stateful agents unlock real capability by remembering and building over time. The problem becomes clear when Agents need to connect facts or track how information changes, where vector search alone starts to break down. Retrieval can fetch data, but only knowledge graphs can structure relationships and enable true multi-step reasoning over time. In this session, I will showcase how memory works in the backend, including a live visualization of fact extraction and graph construction in working code. The primary focus will be on edge cases, especially the hybrid vector graph approach, where semantic search and structured traversal are combined to handle multi-hop reasoning and temporal changes by considering the Cognee open-source framework. Furthermore, I will showcase a working demo of Memory, featuring visualization and a user journey, via Streamlit. **Talk #2: Anatomy of a Supply Chain Attack: From Compromise to Countermeasure [**[Valentin Goronjic](https://www.linkedin.com/in/valentingoronjic/) (Lead Software Engineer), [Tamas Neumer](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tamas-neumer/) (Lead Cloud Engineer) at [Posedio GmbH](https://www.linkedin.com/company/posedio/)**]** In March 2026, attackers compromised Trivy, the open source container scanner thousands of teams rely on to find vulnerabilities. The exploit scanned the CI environment for a wide range of credentials and exfiltrated whatever it found. Trivy isn't alone, countless similar attacks have taken place the past month. The goal of this talk is twofold. First, to raise awareness of these attacks, how they happen and what to expect once you're compromised. Second, to look at what's in GCP's toolbox to mitigate such incidents. — 📅 **May 28th, 2026, from 17:30** 📍 **Location:** weXelerate Auditorium, Praterstraße 1, 1020 Vienna 🚇 **Approach:** U1/U4 to Schwedenplatz, entrance via Taborstraße or Praterstraße.

📖 Time to revisit our classic format and **talk about a great book** again🤩! At our May event, we'll discuss **Vivienne Ming's** “***Robotproof: When Machines Have All The Answers, Build Better People***”. Vivienne is is an American theoretical neuroscientist and artificial intelligence expert, and a self-professed Professional Mad Scientist. Her life and work are both extraordinary, and her latest book provides an actionable framework for rising above the “*the homogenized, vanilla world associated with AI”* (Forbes). There’s lots to mull over, get inspired by, and take home from her writing - so don’t hesitate and join the discussion! Don’t worry if life is too busy to read a whole book: It is absolutely not mandatory. We’ll provide enough information so everyone can learn something and connect insights to their own thinking and experiences. If you want to familiarise yourself with the author’s work, there are lots of podcasts you can listen to, like this one: [https://podcasts.apple.com/at/podcast/stop-letting-ai-think-for-you-dr-vivienne-ming/id212382281?i=1000758167430](https://podcasts.apple.com/at/podcast/stop-letting-ai-think-for-you-dr-vivienne-ming/id212382281?i=1000758167430) There’ll also be time for **networking and conversation** over drinks and snacks (donations welcome, please bring some cash 😊). By participating, you agree that your likeness may be recorded and authorise UX Vienna to use any such recordings for event documentation and promotional purposes.
