**Finally!** The first **PostgreSQL Meetup in Vienna** is coming up! Exciting talks and networking opportunities around PostgreSQL are waiting for you. Meet fellow Vienna-based and international PostgreSQL enthusiasts at this meetup and take the opportunity to connect locally and exchange ideas. **When:** March 18, 2026 — 6:30 PM to 10:00 PM **Where:** [Dotbite](https://dotbite.at/) GmbH, Barichgasse 38/1/6, 1030 Vienna **Preliminary Agenda:** 6:30–7:00 PM — Doors open & registration, networking 7:00–7:15 PM — Welcome & opening 7:15–7:30 PM — Sponsor introduction: Dotbite 7:30–8:05 PM — Stop Guessing, Start Indexing: A Developer’s Guide to Database Indexes (by Rajeet Kumar) 8:05–8:15 PM — Break 8:15–8:50 PM — Is your PostgreSQL truly Cloud(native)? (by Jan Karremans) 8:50–9:00 PM — Break 9:00–9:20 PM — pgcov: Bringing Real Test Coverage to PostgreSQL Code (by Pavlo Golub) 9:20–9:30 PM — Closing 9:30–10:00 PM — Networking & snacks \*\*\*\*\* Session Details \*\*\*\*\* **Speaker 1:** Rajeet Kumar **Title:** Stop Guessing, Start Indexing: A Developer’s Guide to Database Indexes A lot of developers know that indexes make queries faster, but many don’t know why, when an index will actually be used, or why some queries ignore them completely. In this talk, we open that black box. We build a mental model of the B-Tree, the structure used by most databases for their default indexes, and look at its internal layout. Using that model, we’ll explore where B-Tree indexes shine, where they fail, the costs associated with them, and how selectivity affects whether an index is used. Finally, we’ll briefly look at practical techniques such as covering indexes and functional indexes. **Speaker 2:** Jan Karremans **Title:** Is your PostgreSQL truly Cloud(native)? As organizations modernize their platforms with containers, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and microservices, databases are often the last piece to truly transform. Simply lifting and shifting PostgreSQL to a cloud VM does not automatically make it cloud-native. So what does? We’ll cut through the buzzword bingo and examine what they mean for PostgreSQL in real-world environments. Drawing from decades of database experience and years running PostgreSQL in Kubernetes, this session highlights how cloud-native principles such as automation, resilience, observability, and rapid redeployment reshape the way developers and DBAs collaborate. Whether you are a developer, DBA, architect, or decision-maker, this talk will help you assess where you stand today and what it takes to make PostgreSQL a true enabler of speed and innovation in modern cloud environments. **Speaker 3:** Pavlo Golub **Title:** Bringing Real Test Coverage to PostgreSQL Code **Abstract:** https://posetteconf.com/2026/talks/pgcov-bringing-real-test-coverage-to-postgresql-code/ \*\*\*\*\* Snacks and drinks will be provided. A big thank you to [Dotbite](https://dotbite.at/), our main sponsor, for hosting us and providing food and drinks! 🚨 **Attention: Limited spots available!** 🚨

Many people today feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected despite living in a time of unprecedented comfort and opportunity. In this first gathering of the **Vienna Mind & Meaning Circle**, we will explore the psychological and societal factors behind burnout, attention difficulties, and the growing search for meaning in modern life. We will discuss questions such as: * Why do so many people feel chronically exhausted? * Why do so many people feel exhausted despite modern comfort? * Is burnout mainly a personal problem or a societal one? * What role does attention fragmentation (social media, multitasking) play? * How does modern society shape attention and ADHD-like experiences? * Why are so many people today searching for meaning? * What role does meaning and purpose play in psychological well-being? The event will begin with a short introduction followed by an open discussion where everyone is welcome to share ideas and perspectives. This is not a lecture but a **small discussion circle** designed for thoughtful conversation. No background in psychology is required - curiosity is enough. This event will be limited to 13 people and the places will be given in a first come first serve basis.

A Branch of the **Social Book Club** focusing on International Cinema. I try to host 2 film nights a month where I will find films based on the taste profile of my regular audience. We the Lovely Folks of the **Saturday Film Club, are back for the 24th Edition** this Saturday! 🎬🌿🕊️ ☀️ We start at **18:30** hrs. Film chosen for this week is: 🎥 **The Time That Remains 2009** A quietly powerful and often darkly humorous film by Elia Suleiman. Told in four chapters spanning from 1948 to the present, the film blends personal family history with the broader story of Palestine, using deadpan humor, stillness, and sharp observation. Poetic, political, and deeply human. IMDb: 7.3/10 – Runtime: 1h 49m. 🍽️ Post Meetup Food at China Zentrum Stiegengasse! 😁😁 If you just joined, please fill up this survey so we can better tailor the films we show. [https://forms.gle/juPwhehSV2NosLee9](https://forms.gle/juPwhehSV2NosLee9) PS - I can guarantee comfortable seating for 15 people. People in the waitlist can show up as well, although the seating might not be the most comfortable. The event takes place at the Social Welfare organization called **MUT**. It is an organisation that works on social issues such as Emergency & Homeless Assistance, Food Rescue and Environment Protection. MUT is a non profit organization that provides us with the space to host the event. A small donation towards their cause helps them a lot.

**The Mezze Table – A Cultural Dinner with Meaningful Conversations** **Some of the best conversations in life happen around a table.** **The Mezze Table is a small cultural dinner where Arabic, German, and English speakers come together to share Lebanese food and real conversations.** **The evening is gently guided with a few thoughtful conversation prompts that help people connect more naturally.** **Only 20 seats are available.** **At the center of the table we share traditional Lebanese mezze such as Hummus, Baba Ghanoush, and Tabbouleh.** **The word mezze itself comes from the Mediterranean and refers to a collection of small dishes served together. But the idea behind the Mezze Table goes a bit further.** **Just like a mezze table brings together different flavors, this evening brings together a mix of cultures, languages, experiences, and ideas.** **Meals in the Middle East are rarely eaten alone. Food is shared, stories are exchanged, and conversations often go deeper than the usual “What do you do for work?”** **To make the evening welcoming for everyone, we start with a few simple introductions and then explore a couple of conversation prompts during the dinner.** **Past prompts have included questions like:** **• What place in the world has changed how you see life?** **• What is a tradition from your culture that people should know about?** **• What are some gestures in your culture people often misunderstand?** **You do not need perfect language skills.** **What to expect** **• Shared Lebanese mezze** **• A small international group (max. 20 guests)** **• Conversations in Arabic, German, and English** **• A relaxed evening with thoughtful dialogue and cultural exchange** **Hosted by Lydia** **I work in leadership and resilience training and spend much of my professional life helping people have better conversations.** **Over time I noticed something simple: the most interesting conversations rarely happen in meeting rooms.** **They happen around tables.** **The Mezze Table is a small experiment in bringing people together through food, culture, and curiosity.** **Contribution** **€15 includes the mezze and 1 drink.**

Hi all, It's time for another freelancer's meetup! Freelancing in Vienna is the (semi) regular meetup for independent professionals in the city. Two talks, free pizza and drinks, and time to connect with people who work the same way you do. Agenda * 18:30 Doors open * 19:00 Welcome * 19:10 **Build in Public: A Freelancer's Playbook for Launching an AI Product in 4 Weeks** by Clemens Helm * 19:40 Pizza & drinks * 20:10 **Consistency and Discipline in Freelancing: Turning Revenue Goals into Daily Targets** by Alexander Schörghuber * 20:40 Networking * \~21:30 Wrap up **Talks** **Build in Public: A Freelancer's Playbook for Launching an AI Product in 4 Weeks** by **[Clemens Helm](https://www.linkedin.com/in/clemenshelm/)** Most freelancers sell hours. I wanted to build something of my own. So I started building Pinchy (heypinchy.com) — a self-hosted AI agent platform — completely in public. Daily LinkedIn posts, a dev blog, open source on GitHub, guerilla marketing. The full stack, not just code. The surprising part: the product isn't even the point. The process is the portfolio. In this talk I'll share: * Why "Build in Public" is a powerful strategy for freelancers who want to shift into a new field (in my case: AI) * How AI tools helped me ship fast — the product, the website, the branding, the docs, even the logo were all built with AI assistance * What actually worked for visibility (and what flopped) — with real numbers from LinkedIn, GitHub, and website analytics * How documenting your work publicly builds more credibility than any CV or portfolio page ever could Whether you're thinking about launching your own product, pivoting into AI, or just want to stand out as a freelancer — this is 20 years of freelancing distilled into 4 weeks of building out loud. **Consistency and Discipline in Freelancing: Turning Revenue Goals into Daily Targets** by **[Alexander Schörghuber](https://alex-schoerg.at/)** Freelancing promises freedom: no boss, no fixed hours, no one telling you when to work. But that freedom comes with a hidden challenge: there is no built-in structure that ensures you're actually working enough to reach your financial goals. Most freelancers track time. But many don't actually know what they should be aiming for, or whether they're on track to reach their revenue goals. In this talk I'll share how thinking in daily billable targets instead of vague productivity can bring structure and predictability back into freelancing. Topics include: * Why freelancing often oscillates between overworking and falling behind financially * How translating revenue goals into daily billable targets changes decision making * A practical system (controli.at) that connects time tracking with revenue goals This talk is for freelancers who want to keep the freedom of freelancing, while adding the discipline and predictability of a structured work life. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Want to give a talk at the next meetup?** We're looking for speakers. 20–30 minutes on anything relevant to working independently. Send a message to me (Aaron) here on meetup. \-\-\- We're sponsored for the space and snacks again by https://www.lean-coders.at/, a wonderful freelancer focused "agency" in Vienna. They are currently offering coworking desks for interested freelancers. Their team of professional devs and PMs would also love to hear about your next software project. If you know of anyone looking for a great software team, they even have an affiliate program for referrals https://lean-coders.at/affiliate/ See you soon!!

So this month's prompt is more general. I think we can all agree that we are living in "unique" times that require coping skills. I think that one role and/or purpose of philosophy is to help us deal with our daily lives and our "unique" times. So, let's share our feelings and thoughts about which philosopher/philosophy we turn to in order to deal with our crazy events. Who/what helps you stay focused in your daily life and helps you sleep at night. I find that Stoicism with a little philosophical pessimism mixed in goes a long way in helping me deal with what I see as very destructive, fearful and mean spirited public policies at both the state and federal levels. Hope to see you on March 28th!

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!
