**Talks:**
Rober Klonner (WKO Inhouse Gmbh)
**GitOps Visibility: Precise Argo CD diffs on every Pull Request**
Today's GitOps deployments are generated through layers of templating - Helm charts, Kustomize or ApplicationSets. Modifying these abstractions and trying to mentally render the output is error-prone.
This talk introduces a method that uses Argo CD itself to render accurate diffs of Helm charts and Kustomize overlays between branches and posts the result directly on your pull request.
We'll walk through a production setup using the Argo CD Operator, Argo CD Diff Preview, and GitLab CI, optimized for performance, minimal maintenance, and security. Through real-world use cases, we'll show what issues this approach catches before they hit your cluster.
Thomas Hanser (Untis GmbH)
**The Untis Platform Engineering Journey: GitOps Multi-Tenancy with Flux, GitLab, and Friends**
Operating in the European education sector means juggling compliance, student privacy and massive traffic spikes when school starts. Historically at Untis, keeping this running in production was the burden of a single operations team. This session details our transition to an automated, multi-tenant GitOps platform managing a fleet of internal and external Kubernetes clusters. We share our approach of building a platform that gives product teams actual autonomy without compromising on security or control:
* **Structured Multi-Tenancy:** Mapping GitLab groups to namespaced tenant projects using Flux’s multi-tenant model.
* **Secure Access Control:** Leveraging the GitLab Agent for Kubernetes to enable scoped, declarative self-service cluster access.
* **Flexible Delivery Models:** Supporting multiple decentralized deployment strategies by balancing governance and freedom for both internal teams and external guest environments.
Prepare for an honest demonstration of challenges like managing secret lifecycles across a growing fleet, moving from script-driven tenant onboarding to true automated self-service, and wrestling with the classic "chicken-and-egg" problems of bootstrapping Flux and handling GitOps release management.
UX Vienna Club: Share What You’ve Learned
Halfway through 2026, we are curious to find out more about what people in our community have learned:

No slides needed\, no pressure: just bring your inspiration and tell us what you learned\, or simply come to listen and be inspired by others\.
The second half of the evening is all about **networking and conversation**.
Whether you're looking to practice public speaking, connect with fellow UX professionals, or gain fresh perspectives, this is the perfect place to start.
Please bring your own drinks and snacks. Tab water is available at the venue.
We look forward to seeing you!

In-Person Event: The Answers to Depression & Anxiety
This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them.
Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance".
Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you.
The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life.
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life.
Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.
This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.

HOW TO BE A BETTER COMMUNICATOR - Free, in-person meeting
Communication is everything in life!
You are only as successful as your ability to communicate.
\- What if you could confidently talk to anyone?
\- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation?
\- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence?
You can!
The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.
Hosted by the Church of Scientology of Central Ohio
