Domain-Driven Transformation—Modularizing and Modernizing Legacy Software
This is a joint meetup with [DDD-Vienna](https://www.meetup.com/ddd-vienna/)
**Agenda**
🕕 **18:00** – Doors open at TechTalk
🕡 **18:15** – Intro & Talk 🗣️
🕗 **19:20** – Networking, 🍕Food & 🍻Drinks sponsored by [TechTalk](https://techtalk.at/) 🎉
**Domain-Driven Transformation—Modularizing and Modernizing Legacy Software**
Starting a new project from scratch with a clean slate is one thing; tackling legacy systems with chaotic architectures is another. Many teams inherit systems described as “Monoliths” or “Big Balls of Mud,” and this talk focuses on how to bring order to such challenges.
Participants will learn how to evaluate their current systems and identify steps to introduce—or restore—structure. Using Collaborative Modeling, attendees will gain actionable insights to design a clear and future-ready architecture.
The talk will equip participants with practical strategies to address common challenges, such as BBOM architecture, anemic domain models, and disorganized teams. By the end of the session, attendees will have a catalog of proven refactorings, actionable heuristics, and concrete tools to immediately evolve their own projects.

Checkst du? Comedy – Freches Stand-up Open Mic @TheComedyPub
**Freches deutsches Comedy Open Mic in Wien! Junge Comedians + erfahrene Pros, gratis Eintritt & Drinks – jeden Mittwoch im Comedy Pub.**
## [HOL DIR DEINE RESERVIERUNG!!!](https://www.universe.com/events/checkst-du-comedy-freches-stand-up-open-mic-thecomedypub-tickets-8S49H0?ref=MeetUp)
Willkommen zu **Checkst du? Comedy**, der mittwöchlichen Stand-up-Show im *The Comedy Pub*, bei der junge Talente und erfahrene Comedians gemeinsam für einen Abend voller Energie sorgen. Frech, direkt und immer spontan – hier wird Stand-up neu gedacht und live getestet.
Diese Show ist der Spielplatz der neuen Generation von Comedians in Wien. Sie bringen frische Ideen, mutige Witze und ungeschliffene Jokes auf die Bühne. Erfahrene Profis runden den Abend ab und zeigen, wie Timing und Bühnenpräsenz funktionieren. Das Publikum bekommt so einen spannenden Mix: jung, wild, frech – und trotzdem mit Comedy-Handwerk auf höchstem Niveau.
## 🤔 Was ist ein Open Mic?
Ein Open Mic ist der Ort, an dem Comedy geboren wird. Hier probieren Newcomer ihre allerersten Jokes, während Profis ihre neuesten Texte testen. Manche Gags knallen sofort, manche landen vielleicht erst beim zweiten Versuch – aber gerade das macht den Reiz aus. Du bist live dabei, wenn Comedy entsteht, wächst und manchmal glorreich scheitert. Und genau das ist **echtes Stand-up**.
## 🍻 The Comedy Pub – Der Comedy-Hotspot in Wien
Die Bühne von **Checkst du? Comedy** ist der historische Altbaukeller im *The Comedy Pub* (Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Wien). Oben: Irish-Pub-Flair mit Drinks, Bar-Snacks und guter Stimmung. Unten: Kelleratmosphäre pur – nah dran, direkt und perfekt für Stand-up.
Dank der Lage direkt an der U4-Station Kettenbrückengasse bist du in wenigen Minuten mitten im Comedy-Geschehen.
## 💡 Eintritt frei – Spenden willkommen
Lachen soll für alle zugänglich sein! Deshalb ist der Eintritt frei. Aber Comedy lebt auch davon, dass Publikum und Künstler\*innen sich gegenseitig unterstützen. Wenn du gelacht hast, zeig’s mit einer Spende – fair, ehrlich und der direkteste Applaus überhaupt.
## 🎟️ Regeln für das Publikum
Damit die Show für alle funktioniert, bitten wir dich um ein paar Basics:
* Sei pünktlich – die besten Plätze sind schnell weg.
* Lachen ausdrücklich erwünscht – am besten laut!
* Keine Gespräche während der Show, Fokus auf die Bühne.
* Kein Heckling – die Comedians sind funny genug. 😉
* Spenden sind willkommen – Support your locals!
## 🎉 Warum Mittwoch?
Weil der Mittwoch sonst der langweiligste Tag der Woche wäre. **Checkst du? Comedy** macht aus der Wochenmitte ein Highlight: jung, frech, energiegeladen und mit Line-ups, die jede Woche neu überraschen.
Wenn du Lust hast auf ehrliches Stand-up ohne Filter, dann bist du hier genau richtig.

**Description:**
**Come join for a journey of some of the nitty-gritty of improv performance.**
We’ll work on scene work, stage presence, breaking out of our patterns, finding fun in the stillness, and stillness in the craziness of Improv.
This is for improvisers who understand the foundations and concepts of improv and want that extra challenge to perform or refine their performance skills.
**Teacher:** Shawn Fisher
Shawn Fisher is an improviser, performer, and educator. With over 15 years of experience in improv, you can see him with The English Lovers, one of Vienna’s longest-standing improv groups, Two-Buttons Short, and with Rainbow’s Last Wish.
Originally from the US, he has taught classes, workshops and led open improv sessions in Vienna since 2018, fostering community where curiosity leads the way.
Whether directing, MCing, or coaching at venues like Vienna’s Maestro, Shawn thrives on the spontaneity and connection of live performance—especially when leaning into the fantastical.

PO Club #2 – AI, now what? powered by SQUER
**Our second Product Owner Club is coming up and this time we’re diving into one of the biggest shifts currently reshaping our roles as product people: AI.**
We’re excited to be **hosted by** **SQUER**
**📍 [Althanstraße 4/3/63, 1090 Wien](https://maps.app.goo.gl/zysnKBZEobcA2pHz5)**
**Thank you for helping the product community come together!**
**Agenda:**
🕕 18:00 — Doors open & welcome
🎤 18:30 — Session #1: Alexander Schwingenschrot
🎤 19:15 — Session #2: Maurizio Rinder & Julian Tandler
🍕 20:00 — Networking with drinks & pizza
**Session #1 by Alexander Schwingenschrot – Senior Consultant / AI-Manager @ adesso Austria GmbH**
**The Product Owner as an "Intellectual Tourist"? How Psychological Safety Rescues Our Critical Thinking from AI.**
You know the feeling: The backlog is overflowing, pressure is high, and suddenly GenAI generates your user stories, acceptance criteria, and market analyses in seconds. Sounds like a dream, right? The ticket is ready, let the sprint begin.
But what happens when we switch our thinking to "autopilot"? We risk becoming mere "middle managers of our own thoughts," outsourcing the hard work of critical thinking to an algorithm. AI makes us incredibly fast—but without true psychological safety within the team to challenge the machine (and each other), we degrade into mere rubber-stampers. That’s not just dangerous for the product; it fundamentally alters the core of what Product Ownership is all about.
In his talk, Alexander breaks down:
* why AI becomes an innovation killer without a culture that embraces failure (Automation Bias),
* what the "Intellectual Tourist" concept actually means for your daily Product Discovery, and
* how you as a PO can maintain "Meaningful Human Control" without sacrificing the speed of AI.
**Session #2 by Maurizio Rinder, Lead Product Engineer @ SQUER & Julian Tandler, Principal Consultant Product Management @ SQUER**
**What If the Answer to Every Feature Debate Was "Let's Find Out This Week"? A PM's Guide to AI in 2026**
You know the drill: Three stakeholders, three opinions, no data. Everyone argues about what to build next, and two months later only a handful of people used the feature. But what if "let's just find out" was a real answer? When AI makes building cheap, you can stop debating and start testing. That's not just a new tool in your PM toolkit, it's a structural shift in what the role is about.
In his talk,
* Julian breaks down what's actually changing, and goes hands-on with real examples,
* Before Maurizio makes the case why this redefines what it means to be a developer, too.
**Like last time, the sessions will be hands-on and interactive. There will be space to discuss, challenge, and exchange with fellow colleagues.**
We’re looking forward to seeing familiar faces and welcoming new ones to the community.
**Connect**... get to learn peers from different industries.
**Learn**... how other Product Leaders deal with different situations.
**Profit**... from shared experiences and thrive even more in your role.
**Please be fair and only click “attend” on Meetup if you’re truly planning to join, so we can plan foods and drinks accordingly.** Last time we had a **show-rate of 92%**, let's keep this up 😃
**Best regards, Alex & Miriam**

The Story So Far: A WiA Reflection Circle
A WiA Collective Wisdom Exchange
At the start of this year, we gathered to look back, set intentions, and imagine the next chapter.
This is the follow-up.
Not a check-in. Not a progress report. A small, facilitated circle to reconnect with what you said mattered — and honestly explore what’s actually happening now.
Together, we’ll explore:
• What you intended at the start of this year - and what that looks like three months in
• What’s surprised you, supported you, or shifted
• What the next chapter needs now that you know what you know
If you were at our January gathering, bring whatever you made or wrote — your word, your artifact, your intention. We’ll look at it with fresh eyes. If this is your first time, you belong here too. You’ll start where we all started: with what’s true right now.
Optional art materials will be available for anyone who wants to reflect creatively alongside conversation. If you brought something home from January, you’re warmly invited to bring it back.
The intention is the same as always: everyone leaves feeling more clear, more connected, and a little lighter.
Space is intentionally limited to keep the experience intimate.
What to Expect
• A small, welcoming circle (not a large meetup)
• Structured conversation so everyone has space to speak
• Reflection, listening, and lived experience — not advice-giving
• Optional creative reflection alongside conversation
• A calm, supportive environment
Who This Is For
Women and underrepresented folks working in or around agile, product, technology, leadership, or organizational change — especially those looking for honest conversation and community beyond frameworks and buzzwords.
Good to Know
• No preparation required
• If you attended in January, we invite you to bring anything you created or wrote (or something that represents your intention at the start of the year) - it’s optional but invited
• Participation is invitational; listening is always welcome
• Creative activities are optional
Why APIs Are Every Attacker's Favorite Target
Please see below for details of our April 15 event. Visit our [Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/owasp-toronto-april-2026-tickets-1986283430209) page to RSVP!
APIs power virtually every web and mobile application, accounting for over 80% of all Internet traffic. And APIs are under attack. Gartner states APIs have become the “most frequent attack vector," resulting in hundreds of highly successful, high profile breaches. This API security presentation covers 1) why attackers love APIs, 2) real-world breaches (and how they map to the OWASP API Security Top 10), and 3) best practices to keep APIs secure.
What If Your AI Could Be a Team? - Chad Green
**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
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.
