*(For English scroll down)* „Night Stage“ („Ato Noturno“) ist ein neuer brasilianischer Queer-Thriller von den Teddy-Preisträgern **Filipe Matzembacher** und **Marcio Reolon**, der Erotik, Politik und Psychodrama in neongetränkten Bildern verbindet. Der Film läuft in der Queerfilmnacht im Votiv Kino in portugiesischer Originalfassung mit deutschen Untertiteln. Im Zentrum steht der aufstrebende Schauspieler Matias, dem es gefällt, im Rampenlicht zu stehen – auf der Bühne ebenso wie bei riskanten nächtlichen Sexabenteuern in der Öffentlichkeit. Sein heimlicher Liebhaber ist Rafael, ein ehrgeiziger Politiker, der Bürgermeister von Porto Alegre werden will und deshalb alles daransetzt, die Affäre zu verbergen. Je erfolgreicher sie werden, desto größer wird der Kick, aber auch die Bedrohung – denn Rafaels Geldgeber würden zu allen Mitteln greifen, um den Skandal zu verhindern. **Treffpunkt & Tickets** \- Wir treffen uns eine halbe Stunde vor Filmbeginn\, also um **19:30 Uhr**, direkt beim Votiv Kino in der Währinger Straße 12, 1090 Wien.​ \- Tickets **bitte im Vorfeld** online sichern (10,50 € pro Person) oder rechtzeitig an der Abendkassa kaufen, da die Queer Film Night Vorstellungen gut besucht sein können.​ Für unsere Meetup-Gruppe wird eine freiwillige Spende von **1 €** gern entgegengenommen, um Organisation und Planung zukünftiger Events zu unterstützen. // EN: “Night Stage” (“Ato Noturno”) is a new Brazilian queer thriller by Teddy Award winners Filipe Matzembacher and Marcio Reolon, blending eroticism, politics, and psychodrama in neon-soaked imagery. The film is screening as part of Queer Film Night at Votiv Kino, in Portuguese original version with German subtitles. At the center is Matias, an up-and-coming actor who enjoys being in the spotlight—on stage as well as during risky, late-night public sex adventures. His secret lover is Rafael, an ambitious politician who wants to become mayor of Porto Alegre and therefore does everything he can to keep the affair hidden. The more successful they become, the bigger the thrill—but also the danger, because Rafael’s backers would use any means necessary to prevent a scandal. **Meeting point & tickets** * We’ll meet 30 minutes before the film starts, at 7:30 PM, right outside Votiv Kino at Währinger Straße 12, 1090 Vienna. * Please secure your ticket online in advance (€ 10.5) or buy it in good time at the box office, as Queer Film Night screenings can be well attended. For our meetup group, a voluntary donation of €1 is welcome to support organizing and planning future events.

To celebrate **Fasching and Chinese New Year happening at the same day**, we’re turning an ordinary co-working afternoon into something a little more… ridiculous, expressive, and fun. This is a **costume co-working day**, where focus meets play, and productivity meets self-expression. Join us for our **Weekly** **Co-Working Session** in creative driven lounge **Jaz in the City** — and let’s finally get it done, together. After Co-working from 5pm onward, we are going to a Chinese restaurant to celebrate Chinese New Year together! **Dress-Up Code (very important 😌)** Please wear **one piece of clothing** that fits at least one of these categories: * 🧥 A piece that has been **living in your wardrobe for years** but never had its moment * 🤡 Something **funny, absurd, dramatic, or slightly ridiculous** * 😤 A piece you **secretly hate**, but for some reason can’t throw away Wear it. Own it. And be ready to **share the story behind it**. ✨ Bonus: You’re encouraged to **change outfits between focus sessions** if you like. **How the afternoon works** We’ll have **3 focused co-working sessions**, with short breaks in between. Each break is a chance to: * switch outfits * stretch * laugh * and hear the stories behind the clothes we’re wearing This is still real co-working — just with a lighter spirit and more color. **Why this event** Because: * creativity boosts focus * play reduces resistance * and sometimes productivity needs a little chaos 🎨 You don’t need a “proper” costume. You just need **one forgotten, funny, or emotionally complicated piece of clothing**. 📲 **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/) This is a soft, safe, supportive in-person space to move through procrastination with presence and companionship.

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.

Weekly screenings from a large archive of many of the most significant, yet seldom seen and rarely accessible cinematic masterpieces in the history of film - from its earliest beginnings to the present day. Screenings are in original language, if English, or original language with English subtitles. Films are selected democratically on the inspiration of a brief pre-screening discussion. The selected title is typically a "neglected gem" that most of us discover together for the first time. Individual taste is not a criterion and all participants are expected to put the interests of the group as a whole above personal preference or prejudice. In this sense, the emphasis is on openness, exploration, and surprise. Each screening is followed by an in-depth group discussion, led and moderated by the curator. WARNNG: FilmStory is not just about watching movies! Rather, it's a socially responsible, intellectual engagement, involving an organic approach to group study of film language, philosophy, art, history, politics, and technology. In this sense, the film is always merely the current highlight in an explorative, ongoing group discussion. **FilmStory** is a members-only series that involves a closely knit community of cinephiles. Events take place every Sunday in a comfortable, private setting with limited capacity. Participation is reserved primarily for regular members, but we're always ready to make new friends! Non-regular members may request to meet the community and, upon acceptance as a "new joiner," are welcome to participate in one event, according to space availability. New joiners are asked to make a €6 member dues contribution in advance of the requested date. New members receive a message of confirmation and the address of the Living Room in 1080 Vienna upon receipt of their dues contribution. **FilmStory** is presented and hosted by **[KulturSalon Wien](https://www.meetup.com/kultursalon-wien/)**.

This event is for people who join the event in person at TechTalk (https://techtalk.at/). As this is a **#mashup meetup**, please be aware, that you have to **register outside of meetup** to join the event (because of room limitations). **Please register here for the event: [https://techtalk.at/software-net-meetup-weiterentwicklung-modularer-monolithen-mit-architekturellen-fitnessfunktionen/](https://techtalk.at/software-net-meetup-weiterentwicklung-modularer-monolithen-mit-architekturellen-fitnessfunktionen/)** If you join the event remotely, please RSVP here: https://www.meetup.com/dotnet-austria/events/313069017 This meetup is organized by DotNetDevs.at (https://dotnetdevs.at/) together with the Softwarearchitektur Wien Meetup (https://www.meetup.com/softwarearchitektur-wien/). **Abstract** In this talk, Patrick Säuerl (Tech Lead/Architect) and Tim Paulus (Developer) will share their journey of evolving a software project towards a modular monolith with consistent layering. The system started over 10 years ago as a monolith, and many teams have developed within it, adding their flavors and understanding of the architectural patterns and the architecture trends at that time. This has led to maintenance issues and unclear guidance for new developers. We tackled parts of this by introducing tests that ensure the layering of vertical slices is consistent. Our solution is based on the following approaches: \* Fitness Functions from Evolutionary Architecture \* Ports & Adapters and Layered Architecture \* Approval Testing \* Architecture Tests We will cover these topics and the ideas we borrowed from them. The talk will also focus on the dynamics that these tests initiated within the team and another contributing team, leading to fruitful discussions, better shared understanding of the technical vision, and clear refactoring targets for developers. **About Tim Paulus:** As a developer, Tim faces the typical challenge of inheriting a software project with proven business value in its domain, yet needing to transform its architecture to meet new technical and organizational requirements. **About Patrick Säuerl:** Patrick is an experienced software architect and technical lead who has supported numerous teams and developers on their journey. With several years of experience in various projects, he has shifted his focus to technical leadership, team collaboration, and Domain-Driven Design (DDD). He places particular emphasis on collaborative modeling, with preferred methods including Specification by Example, User Story Mapping, Event Storming, and Event Modeling. Patrick promotes both intra-team collaboration and cross-team collaboration in scaled environments. Location, Food & Drinks are sponsored by TechTalk. **Timetable:** \- 18:00: Door opens at TechTalk \- 18:15: Intro \- 18:20: Talk starts \- 19:30: Food & Drinks \- 21:00: End Recordings will be available afterward at https://go.dotnetdevs.at/recordings This meetup is organized by DotNetDevs.at (https://dotnetdevs.at/).

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator. Join us on Sunday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking! • What we'll do Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at noon on Sundays. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: 12:00 - quick intros. 12:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour. 1:10 - chat / take off / keep writing. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 1-1:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you! • What to bring Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible. See you at The Café on Sunday!
