On se rencontre chaque mercredi pour parler français. Parmi nous, il y a des gens qui ont le français comme langue maternelle, et des gens qui aiment le français et le maîtrisent plus ou moins. On aime discuter et parler de tout et de rien, et on est toujours content de recevoir des gens qui sont de passage ou des nouvelles personnes qui veulent écouter, parler, pratiquer ou poser des questions. Cette semaine, on se retrouve au Café Merkur, situé a proximité de la station U2 Rathaus, dans la Florianigasse 18. Le Café Merkur est un Café-Bistro bien aimable, avec une cuisine de plats legers de beaucoup de pays differents, mediteranées. La table est toujours gérée d'une façon très libre et relaxée, on se rencontre et on parle aux autres participants et participantes autour de nous. NOTE: Si vous comptez venir, inscrivez-vous s'il vous plaît, pour qu'on puisse prévoir assez (mais pas trop non plus) d'espace au restaurant. Comme ça, on sera à l'aise et l'endroit qui nous accueille aussi. On commence à 18h30 , mais ce n'est pas un problème de rejoindre après. Normalement, il y a au moins une dizaine de personnes qui vient aux rencontres. Cette rencontre est aussi annoncée sur notre groupe facebook ("Vienna French Meetings") A mercredi alors!

**Anknüpfend an die Fahrt in den Frühling - von der bereits im August 2024 in der Bromton Junction berichtet wurde - machten sich Michl, Gerald, Seppi, Gudrun und Daniel erneut auf den Weg Richtung Süden.** Dieses Mal starteten sie im Oktober 2025 dort, wo sie im Frühling angekommen waren. Dem Motto des Rennradwanderns blieben sie auch dieses Mal dank des großen Interesses an ausgefallenen Orten und vergessenen Pfaden treu. Leicht bepackt ging es in 11 Tagen mit mehr als 1.500km und über 20.000 Höhenmeter quer durch das Hinterland des Balkan. Von Kroatien aus radelten die Fünf durch Bosnien, Montenegro, Kosovo, Albanien und Nordmazedonien bis nach Griechenland auf dem Weg nach Athen. Natürlich warteten aber auch einige ungeplante Überraschungen auf die Rennradwanderer - davon und noch viel mehr wird am 18.März in der Brompton Junktion berichtet.

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: 18th 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.

**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!** 🚨

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!!

Let’s try some Filipino food at a well known Grandview area restaurant, This is the menu: https://www.canva.com/design/DAHByDNxwDA/TO8oxEmjQrBp_PP_mLPUag/view?utm_content=DAHByDNxwDA&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h435abfbbb3#1

**Complex Trauma Support Group** Our group is intended for survivors of complex trauma. If you are here, it’s likely that so much of who you are and what you have experienced in this life is actually invisible to most people––to family, society, coworkers, and the people who are around you. We are a peer-led group of survivors creating opportunities for ourselves and others to share our experiences, share support, and build relationships in kind community together. Survivor experiences might include: child sexual abuse, incest, child trafficking, and other experiences of people living with traumatic dissociation and complex PTSD. **What to expect at your first meeting:** Currently, we are offering a bi-monthly in person group at 2:00pm on the first and third Sunday of the month. The only criterion for joining the group is that you are a survivor of trauma wishing to have more kindness in your own life and share kindness with others, and that you agree to practice to group’s relational agreements available for view here: https://www.kindgroups.com/agreements. Joining the group is free of charge. We ask that new people connect with us for 30 minutes on the phone or on zoom before coming to their first group, so that we can determine together that we are a good fit. Our meetings last approximately 90 minutes. Participants are never required to share. You’re also welcome to choose a pseudonym and you will never be asked for private information. You are welcome to leave at any time. The kindness that survivors can share when among others who have survived similar childhood experiences is something we rarely get to experience. Time spent with others who understand even a little bit more about us is a relief. Our hope is to help ourselves and others experience that we are not alone. We wish for our efforts to be a cause of kindness in our own lives and the lives of each other. You can read more about the groups at www.kindgroups.com.
