WP Meetup Vienna (February) - WordPress & Beyond đ
Join us for an evening of fresh perspectives on Content Management Systems beyond the WordPress bubble.
This Meetup is all about broadening horizons. Looking at how different CMS approach common problems, what they do particularly well (or not so well), and what we as WordPress professionals can learn from them.
Instead of chasing a single âbest CMS,â weâll explore why different projects need different tools and how ideas from other ecosystems can inspire better solutions in our daily WordPress work. Expect practical insights, honest comparisons, and plenty of room for discussion.
đĄ **18:30 live**, SAE Vienna, Kaisersaal
â±ïž **18:45 â Thomas KrĂ€ftner**
**âAn Inspirational Tour Through Other CMSâ**
The web is as diverse as the Content Management Systems behind it. Rather than attempting yet another exhaustive CMS comparison or ranking, Thomas takes a more pragmatic and refreshing approach: a curated tour through selected aspects, strengths, and weaknesses of different systems.
In this fast-paced âspeed run,â weâll look at WordPress, Drupal, Neos, and Kirby, each representing different philosophies and solutions to familiar challenges. Along the way, Thomas highlights what we can take back into our own WordPress projects. The talk is intentionally subjective and designed to spark discussion, so bring your own experiences and opinions from the CMS world.

With a background in Information Design, he combines technical expertise with a deep understanding of content, accessibility, and visual clarity. Active in the WordPress community in Vienna, Thomas has spoken at WordCamps and previously co-organized both the WP Vienna Meetup and WordCamp Vienna.
â±ïž **19:30 â Gernot Ploiner**
**TYPO3: A Practical Introduction to an Enterprise-Ready CMS**
With more than 20 years of hands-on experience, [Gernot](https://www.webprofil.at) introduces TYPO3 as a powerful and reliable CMS for long-term, scalable web projects. He explains why TYPO3 is often the CMS of choice for enterprise environments and complex requirements.
The talk covers key strengths such as the dedicated TYPO3 Security Team, advanced multilingual features, editorial workflows with workspaces, strong performance, and an editor-friendly backend. From a developerâs perspective, Gernot also gives insights into modern TYPO3 development: local setups with DDEV, clean object-oriented architectures using Extbase, Symfony-based concepts, and building custom extensions for professional projects.
Whether youâre a WordPress developer, agency owner, or simply curious about how other CMS solve familiar problems, this Meetup will give you new ideas, useful comparisons, and plenty of inspirationâplus good conversations with fellow web folks.
See you in Vienna! đ»

Formell korrekt â fachlich gut: Die Wahrheit ĂŒber Ausschreibungen
Ausschreibungen sind ein zentraler und oft unterschĂ€tzter Bestandteil professioneller Requirements-Arbeit. Ausschreibungen verbinden fachliche Anforderungen, rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen und wirtschaftliche Interessen. Und entscheiden nicht selten ĂŒber den Erfolg ganzer Projekte.
In diesem Meetup beleuchten wir Ausschreibungen aus **drei komplementÀren Perspektiven**:
đ aus Sicht des Auftraggebers,
đ des Bieters und
đ des Software-Herstellers, der beide Welten zusammenbringen will.
đč **Speaker 1** â Simon Gemel (Business Analyst) gibt Einblicke aus erster Hand in die Erstellung und Begleitung einer Ausschreibung fĂŒr das Parlament: Wie entstehen Anforderungen in diesem Kontext? Welche Herausforderungen gibt es auf Auftraggeberseite und was macht eine gute Ausschreibung wirklich aus?
đč **Speaker 2** â Armin FĂŒrst ([TechTalk](https://techtalk.at/)) bringt die Perspektive eines Unternehmens ein, das regelmĂ€Ăig an Ausschreibungen mit dem klaren Ziel teilnimmt, diese zu gewinnen: Worauf achten Bieter? Wo gehen Anforderungen oft verloren? Und wie unterscheiden sich âformal korrektâ und âinhaltlich ĂŒberzeugendâ?
đč **Speaker 3** â Gerhard Hipfinger ([openFORCE](https://openforce.com/)) stellt eine Software-Lösung vor, die genau an dieser Schnittstelle ansetzt: Wie kann intelligentes Matchmaking zwischen Anforderungen und Angeboten Auftraggeber und Anbieter gleichermaĂen unterstĂŒtzen und Reibungsverluste reduzieren?
đ Das Meetup richtet sich an **Business Analysten, Requirements Engineers, Product Owner, Architekten, Auftraggeber, Juristen und alle**, die Anforderungen formulieren, bewerten oder in Ausschreibungen damit arbeiten.
Freut euch auf **Praxisberichte, unterschiedliche Blickwinkel und konkrete Learnings** und fĂŒr Diskussion und Austausch mit der BA-Community.
đ **Agenda**
đ Einlass ab 17:30
đ Start der VortrĂ€ge um 18:00
đ **Ăber unseren SponsorâŠ**
Der Veranstaltungsort wird von **[TechTalk](https://techtalk.at/)** gesponsert. Essen & GetrĂ€nke gesponsert vom **[IIBA Austria Chapter](https://austria.iiba.org/).** đ»
**đ€ Call for Speakers & Sponsoren!**
Und wenn du selbst etwas erzĂ€hlen willst oder eine Idee fĂŒr einen Talk hast, dann melde dich einfach. Auch suchen wir nicht nur Sprecher, sondern neue Lokationen zum Vortragen.
đ **RSVP now!**

Checkst du? Comedy â Freches Stand-up Open Mic @TheComedyPub
**Freches deutsches Comedy Open Mic in Wien! Junge Comedians + erfahrene Pros, gratis Eintritt & Drinks â 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 fĂŒr einen Abend voller Energie sorgen. Frech, direkt und immer spontan â 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 BĂŒhne. Erfahrene Profis runden den Abend ab und zeigen, wie Timing und BĂŒhnenprĂ€senz funktionieren. Das Publikum bekommt so einen spannenden Mix: jung, wild, frech â und trotzdem mit Comedy-Handwerk auf höchstem Niveau.
## đ€ Was ist ein Open Mic?
Ein Open Mic ist der Ort, an dem Comedy geboren wird. Hier probieren Newcomer ihre allerersten Jokes, wĂ€hrend Profis ihre neuesten Texte testen. Manche Gags knallen sofort, manche landen vielleicht erst beim zweiten Versuch â aber gerade das macht den Reiz aus. Du bist live dabei, wenn Comedy entsteht, wĂ€chst und manchmal glorreich scheitert. Und genau das ist **echtes Stand-up**.
## đ» The Comedy Pub â Der Comedy-Hotspot in Wien
Die BĂŒhne von **Checkst du? Comedy** ist der historische Altbaukeller im *The Comedy Pub* (KettenbrĂŒckengasse 7, 1050 Wien). Oben: Irish-Pub-Flair mit Drinks, Bar-Snacks und guter Stimmung. Unten: KelleratmosphĂ€re pur â nah dran, direkt und perfekt fĂŒr Stand-up.
Dank der Lage direkt an der U4-Station KettenbrĂŒckengasse bist du in wenigen Minuten mitten im Comedy-Geschehen.
## đĄ Eintritt frei â Spenden willkommen
Lachen soll fĂŒr alle zugĂ€nglich sein! Deshalb ist der Eintritt frei. Aber Comedy lebt auch davon, dass Publikum und KĂŒnstler\*innen sich gegenseitig unterstĂŒtzen. Wenn du gelacht hast, zeigâs mit einer Spende â fair, ehrlich und der direkteste Applaus ĂŒberhaupt.
## đïž Regeln fĂŒr das Publikum
Damit die Show fĂŒr alle funktioniert, bitten wir dich um ein paar Basics:
* Sei pĂŒnktlich â die besten PlĂ€tze sind schnell weg.
* Lachen ausdrĂŒcklich erwĂŒnscht â am besten laut!
* Keine GesprĂ€che wĂ€hrend der Show, Fokus auf die BĂŒhne.
* Kein Heckling â die Comedians sind funny genug. đ
* Spenden sind willkommen â Support your locals!
## đ Warum Mittwoch?
Weil der Mittwoch sonst der langweiligste Tag der Woche wĂ€re. **Checkst du? Comedy** macht aus der Wochenmitte ein Highlight: jung, frech, energiegeladen und mit Line-ups, die jede Woche neu ĂŒberraschen.
Wenn du Lust hast auf ehrliches Stand-up ohne Filter, dann bist du hier genau richtig.

Walk as Far as You Like: A Flexible Winter Walk Across Vienna
Hi everyone!
On **Saturday, February 14, 2026**, Iâm planning a beautiful winter hike across the green hills of Vienna â from **Nussdorf to HĂŒtteldorf**, right through the heart of the Wienerwald.
This hike combines forest paths, gentle ridgelines, and some of the best panoramic views over Vienna. Itâs a great opportunity to enjoy nature, fresh winter air, and relaxed conversation while crossing the city from north to west on foot.
You **do not have to walk the whole route**.
This hike is perfect if you want to join **only for part of the way**:
* đ **Kahlenberg** â easy exit with public transport back into the city
* đ **Neuwaldegg** â another convenient exit point with tram connections (approx. 11km hike, 3-4hrs and 350m altitude)
You can decide **during the hike** how far youâd like to go. Walking all the way to HĂŒtteldorf is optional and only recommended if you feel fit and motivated on the day.
**What makes this hike special**
* đ Beautiful views over Vienna from **Leopoldsberg** and **Kahlenberg**
* đČ Peaceful forest paths through the **Wienerwald**
* đ Passing classic local peaks like **Herrmannskogel** and **Dreimarkstein**
* đ Very flexible route: you can join for part of the hike and exit earlier if needed
* đŹ A social hike with time for conversation and short breaks
Youâre welcome to walk **as long or as short as you like**. The most convenient exit points with public transport are **Kahlenberg** and **Neuwaldegg**, so this hike is ideal if you want to test your pace or fitness level in a friendly group setting.
**Meeting Point**
đ **Bahnhof Wien Nussdorf**
đ **09:00 a.m.** (in front of the station)
**Hike Details**
* â± **Duration:** approx. **6.5 hours** (pure walking time to HĂŒtteldorf)
* đ **Distance:** up to **24 km** (if walking the full route)
* â° **Elevation:** approx. **892 m ascent**
* đą **Difficulty:** Easy (technically)
* Walking the full route to HĂŒtteldorf requires **good basic fitness**
* Shorter options are possible
* đ¶ **Pace:** Comfortable and social, with regular short breaks
More information on the trail:
[https://www.bergfex.at/sommer/niederoesterreich/touren/wanderung/2290740,nussdorf--vogelsangberg--hermannskogel--huetteldorf/](https://www.bergfex.at/sommer/niederoesterreich/touren/wanderung/2290740,nussdorf--vogelsangberg--hermannskogel--huetteldorf/)
**Group Pace & Staying Together**
**Fun (but serious) group disclaimer:**
If you sprint ahead and disappear, I will assume youâve chosen a new life among wild boars, dog walkers, and people power-walking in jeans. Running ahead voids all group benefits, including navigation, moral support, **access to snacks**, and protection from aggressive squirrels. By running ahead, you explicitly accept these terms and conditions.
**Practical Notes**
Iâll send a **weather update on Thursday evening** to everyone whoâs registered. It will almost certainly be **cold and possibly frosty**, so please be prepared.
* đ§€ Dress warmly in layers
* đ„Ÿ Wear sturdy, winter-appropriate hiking shoes
* đ§ Bring your own snacks and drinks (at least **1 liter of water**), there will be no hut or restaurant stop along the route
* Some sections may be **muddy or slightly icy**, depending on the weather
**Disclaimer**
As always, this is a **free, private leisure activity**. Iâm not a certified hiking guide, and participation is at your own responsibility and risk.
Looking forward to seeing you for this winter walk across Vienna âïžđČ

Science and Philosophy Discussion Table
This is a group for meeting new people, eating brunch, and having discussions about science, life, philosophy, politics, and people.
Anybody is free to join, and we charge no fees.
This discussion group aims to have the absolute minimal level of structure necessary to ensure the conversation remains engaging to the majority of people present. In particular, we \*don't\* have fixed order of speaking or timed statements.
So far, the balance we've struck is enforcing hand raising when conversation gets intense in order to minimize interruption, and to give the chair (me!) the power to occasionally call a snap election on the conversation topic.
