Hello everybody, Next **#mashup meetup** is in town, this time together with [Java-Vienna Meetup](https://www.java.wien/)! **Agenda** 🕕 **18:00** – Doors open at TechTalk 🕡 **18:15** – Intro & Talk 🗣️ 🕗 **19:20** – Networking, 🍕Food & 🍻Drinks sponsored by [TechTalk](https://techtalk.at/) 🎉 **🗣️ Talk** 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 refactoring's, actionable heuristics, and concrete tools to immediately evolve their own projects. 🧑‍💻 **Speaker** Henning loves programming in high quality. He lives this passion as coder, coach, and consultant at WPS – Workplace Solutions.

**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**

**Hey everybody!** Do you want to code together, share your projects, or just hang out in a creative atmosphere? Then join us at the **Coding Club @ Jo&Joe Hostel**! We usually start with a short introduction round so everyone can get to know each other. After that, you can: * share your achievements or pet projects (informal, just at the table) * get feedback or inspiration from others * or simply work on your own project alongside the group Bring your laptop (or any device you like to code on) if you want to actively work. Or just come by to connect and get inspired. Please try to be on time so we can kick things off together. Looking forward to seeing you there! 🚀

**\*\*\* Enrollment and all info** [https://www.iicv.at/intermediate-classes](https://www.iicv.at/intermediate-classes)**\*\*\*** **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.

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, we can move to a social area for a relaxed break * **Pomodoro-style rhythm**: We work in 45' focus blocks followed by 15' social breaks. If 45' feels too long, feel free to break it into two 20' focus sessions with a short 5' reset in between.

No apps or timers needed. **🪑Seating information:** * If this is your first time joining us, please look for **Vlad** when you arrive in front of the **Ground Floor Bar** (not at the hotel reception). * There is a **long table with about 12 seats** for those joining the **peer accountability session** — please arrive on time if you’d like to sit here. * There are also **round tables nearby** for anyone who prefers a more flexible setup. * If you’d like to **work independently (without the Pomodoro sessions),** but still be part of the group energy, just let **Vlad** know — we’ll make sure you’re comfortably included. 💛 💬 Why Join? * Beat procrastination with gentle accountability * Reclaim your momentum without doing it alone * Enjoy a change of scenery that boosts your focus * Be part of a community that shows up — without hustle Bring your project. Bring your presence. Let’s work side-by-side. 💚

**Pause. Sense. Feel. Transform.** **Anger, rage, and frustration are part of being human. Yet when left unchecked, they can hijack our nervous system, cloud communication, and strain our relationships.** **This two-part experiential workshop series offers a grounded, science based path to meeting anger with awareness; and transforming it into clarity, empathy, and compassion.** **Blending neuroscience, mindfulness practices, embodied movement, and mindful communication tools, we explore how anger affects the body and brain; and how it can become a powerful gateway to self understanding and deeper connection with others.** **Through guided meditation, reflective journaling, gentle movement, visualisation, pair and group exercises, you’ll learn how to rechannel stress, regulate your nervous system, and engage with conflict in a more conscious and compassionate way.** **Part 1: Rechanneling Stress and Understanding Our Needs** **We all experience anger and frustration, when we feel disrespected, unheard, or blocked from reaching our goals. These emotions can feel overwhelming and have a strong impact on our nervous system and well-being. How can we navigate these moments without being overtaken by them?** **In this first workshop, we focus on understanding anger from the inside out. We explore how emotional hijacking and chronic stress work in the brain and body, and how our internal narratives and unmet needs fuel reactive patterns. With curiosity** **and compassion, we begin to transform anger into self-awareness and self-care.** **You’ll explore:** **● The neuroscience of anger, rage, stress response, and emotional hijacking** **● How bodily sensations and internal narratives shape anger** **● Identifying the feelings and unmet needs behind frustration** **● How to rechannel anger through breath, visualisation, and gentle movement** **● Using mindful self-talk and mantras to express needs** **● Cultivating self-compassion as a foundation for clarity and regulation** **The Mindful BAse x Villa Vida** **Where science meets mindfulness – for awareness, connection, and community.** **At The Mindful BAse, we believe that mindfulness is not only a personal practice, but also a powerful way to strengthen relationships, communities, and our connection with our environment. Founded in Vienna in 2025, our mission is simple: to bring people together,** **foster well-being, and cultivate a community rooted in awareness, kindness, compassion and** **respect.** **Through our collaboration with Villa Vida, we are excited to present a series of science-based mindfulness workshops designed to encourage meaningful dialogue, nurture learning and reflection for supporting the local queer community. We create spaces where** **ancient practices meet modern insights, offering sessions that combine yoga, meditation, neuroscience, communication tools in a safe, inclusive and inspiring space. Each workshop invites you to slow down, connect, and learn practical ways to care for yourself and others – grounded in both science and lived experience.** **All identities, bodies, and levels of experience are welcome.** **[https://themindfulbase.com](https://themindfulbase.com/)** **[https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-mindful-base](https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-mindful-base)** **[https://www.instagram.com/the_mindful_base](https://www.instagram.com/the_mindful_base)** **Registration:** **[https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSckePQuhI-pydwGvKms1btW6JQHxnBvpX20HpkyrxGpniBW7A/viewform](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSckePQuhI-pydwGvKms1btW6JQHxnBvpX20HpkyrxGpniBW7A/viewform)**

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. **YouTube Link** TBD
