Offenes Training
Offenes Training
Durch das offene Training schaffen wir einen regelmäßigen Ort zum gemeinsamen Improvisieren. Hier können alle mitmachen - es ist keine Vorerfahrung notwendig und wir begeben uns nach einem Kennenlernen und Aufwärmen in die Welt der Impro Szenen und Kurzformate. Es ist sowohl ein Platz zum Ausprobieren für neue ImprospielerInnen als auch zum Üben und Weiterentwickeln für erfahrene ImprospielerInnen. Eintritt: Freie Spende! For Improv in the english language please have a look at the International Improv Community in Vienna ([IICV](https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/International-Improv-Wien/)) on meetup!
Humming Traditions: SODAI - Straw, Form & Wind
Humming Traditions: SODAI - Straw, Form & Wind
An immersive workshop for adults, quiet hands, patient minds, and those who enjoy the slow rhythm of creation. 🌿Limited spots. The group is limited to 8 people. You can secure your place by purchasing a ticket through the link: https://doobeedoo-goodies.sumupstore.com/produkt/humming-traditions-sodai-straw-form-and-wind 🌿Date: 4th of March 🌿Time: 18:30—20:30 (it might take longer, depending on group tempo) 🌿Location: DooBeeDoo Goodies Atelier (Märzstraße 86, 1150 Vienna) Step into the gentle rhythm of creation and discover Sodai, traditional Lithuanian straw mobiles that once filled homes with balance, harmony, and quiet beauty. In this workshop, we will explore the geometry of air, learning how to prepare and string straw into delicate symmetrical forms that sway softly with every breeze. Piece by piece, your hands will follow the same patterns that generations before us used to invite order and peace into their homes. You’ll learn the basic techniques of straw preparation, stringing, and construction, and experience how a simple natural material can transform into something light, precise, and full of meaning. Together, we’ll move through a calm, meditative process, each gesture connecting thought, breath, and creation in quiet balance. By the end, you’ll leave not only with your own handmade Sodas, a timeless ornament carrying both heritage and your creative touch, but also with the knowledge, focus, and stillness that this ancient craft awakens. It feels less like finishing an object and more like completing a gentle ritual of patience and peace. To keep the experience personal and attentive, the group will be small and intimate, space is limited, so that every participant can receive individual guidance and care. This workshop invites you to slow down, focus, and reconnect — with your hands, your thoughts, and the quiet poetry of simple materials. No previous experience is needed, only patient hands, a calm mind, and an eye for quiet detail. 🌿🌿🌿 Humming Traditions is a series of creative workshops that explore the living, breathing essence of cultural practices. Each event invites participants to connect with ancient techniques, natural materials, and artistic expression in a hands-on, immersive experience. The series celebrates the quiet resonance of tradition, the subtle vibrations, textures, and forms that have carried meaning through centuries. Whether through sound, movement, or craft, Humming Traditions is about experiencing culture as a living, dynamic, and tactile art form. Each workshop stands on its own yet shares a common thread: creativity, mindfulness, and a connection to nature and heritage. Participants leave with newly learned skills, a calm mind, and a deeper appreciation for cultural artistry.

Each of the three chapters takes place in the present, and each in a different country. \*\*\* *HOW* **If you can't find us before/after the movie, write me a PM (Pranav, the host) or post a message in the event chat, I monitor it during the meetup and will pick you up.** We meet at 18:30 at the Cafe Stein (Währinger Str. 6-8) and shortly before the movie we go together to Kino de France.

Verified Vectors: eBPF Security & IP Integrity
We are happy to announce the next [eBPF](https://ebpf.io/)-focused meetup in Vienna scheduled for March 6, 2026. All talks will be suited for beginners and experts as well.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to stay ahead of the curve! *Special thanks to our sponsors:* *\- ÖBB for providing an excellent venue for this meetup\!* **Agenda:** * 17:00 - 17:25: Arrival and Registration * 17:25 - 17:30: **Welcome** - *by the Organizers* * 17:30 - 18:00: **The pod knows where you're from** *\- preserving Source IP with Cilium and DSR* \- by Marcel Gredler * 18:00 - 18:30: Break * 18:30 - 19:00: **Signing eBPF for Security** *(with Hornet LSM)* \- by Julian Zhuang * 19:00 - 21:00: Closing Words & Networking Apero **Topic 1: The Pod Knows Where You're From – Preserving Source IP with Cilium and DSR** In this session, Marcel Gredler delves into maintaining original source IP addresses in Kubernetes pods using Cilium and Direct Server Return (DSR). By bypassing traditional load balancers for return traffic, DSR boosts bandwidth and performance, enabling efficient handling of high-throughput workloads like AI model inference and training in cloud-native setups. **Topic 2: Signing eBPF for Security (with Hornet LSM)** Julian Zhuang discusses enhancing eBPF program security via cryptographic signing integrated with the Hornet Linux Security Module (LSM). This approach verifies eBPF code integrity before kernel loading, reducing vulnerabilities in observability, networking, and security tools while ensuring safe deployment in production environments.
