**Update 10.5. / 22:00:** Due to the weather forecast with rain, cold temperatures, and wind, we’ve decided to move the meetup to an indoor location instead of the park. The good news: we’re still keeping the same relaxed and casual get-together format — just a little warmer and drier ☔🌿 **📍 New Location** Delegationsraum Österreichischer Gewerkschaftsbund Johann-Böhm-Platz 1 A-1020 Wien The easiest way to get there is via U2 Donaumarina. The Delegationsraum is located on the ground floor at the end of the entrance hall, on the left side, near the stairs leading upstairs. Looking forward to seeing everyone there! \-\-\- Spring is here — let’s take UX outside. Join us for a relaxed **UX Vienna get-together in the park**, where we’ll trade meeting rooms for fresh air and good company. Connect with fellow UX professionals, share ideas, and enjoy a laid-back evening together. Bring a blanket and something to drink, and meet us on the lawn below the Palmenhaus in the Burggarten. Whether you stay for a quick chat or settle in for the whole evening, you’re very welcome — we’re looking forward to seeing you there. Meeting point - below the Palmenhaus on the lawn (on the left side looking at Palmenhause): https://osm.org/go/0JrIXnPJY--?m= (If the weather is bad, we will come up with an alternative location 24hrs in advance.) \-\-\- UX Vienna Evening Meetups are on the 2nd tuesday of every month — 12 times a year. Collaboratively we document each UX Vienna Evening Meetup at [https://UXvienna.at/ongoing/](https://uxvienna.at/ongoing/) \- Check out to see what kept us busy and what you might have missed so far\.

**Walk & Talk** Willst du auch mehr Bewegung in dein Leben bringen? Und dich dabei noch gut unterhalten, so dass die Zeit verfliegt? Dann bist du hier genau richtig, denn mir geht es genauso. Alleine ist langweilig und die Zeit vergeht nicht, daher hab ich mir Walk & Talk überlegt. Inspiriert wurde ich durch die Walk & Talk Gruppe in Hamburg, wo ich mehrere Male dabei war als ich in Hamburg lebte. Unterschiedliche Menschen treffen sich einmal in der Woche für einen flotten Spaziergang und unterhalten sich dabei. Ich liebe es neue Menschen kennenzulernen und auch bekannte Gesichter wiederzusehen, dann geh ich ganz nebenbei und das macht auch noch Spaß.😊 **Walk:** Wir brauchen einfach regelmäßige Bewegung und ich weiß selbst, wie schwierig es ist, diese in den Alltag zu integrieren. Deshalb ist dieser Walk genau richtig. Nach diesem Spaziergang fühlst du dich einfach wohl, fit und entspannt. **Talk:** Das Reden kommt ganz von selbst beim Gehen. Du kannst über alles reden, egal, ob privates oder berufliches, alles was sich ergibt ist willkommen. Und wenn du keinen Bock aufs Reden hast, dann gehst du alleine, auch das ist völlig in Ordnung. **Wie das ganze abläuft:** * Die Teilnahme ist völlig kostenlos. * Wo: U6 Spittelau (im Freien), Richtung Donaukanal, Ausgang Josef-Holaubek-Platz, direkt vor dem Fernwärme-Turm (https://maps.app.goo.gl/XwAayz4FQe2EW8WK9) Wenn du mit der U4 kommst, geh bitte zum Hauptgebäude, wo die Züge und die U6 fahren. * Wann: Wir treffen uns dienstags um 13 Uhr, egal, ob bei Regen, Sturm und Kälte oder bestem Sonnenschein – Walk & Talk findet nahezu JEDE Woche statt außer ich bin mal im Urlaub. * Wir starten pünktlich und beginnen mit einer kurzen Vorstellungsrunde. * Wie gehen am Donaukanal entlang von Höhe Spittelau bis zum Schwedenplatz und zurück. * Ca. 7 Kilometer sind wir unterwegs und unterhalten uns dabei mit interessanten Menschen. Dabei kannst du neue Bekanntschaften schließen, dich inspirieren lassen, von Projekten erzählen oder einfach nur smalltalken und die frische Luft genießen. Alles ist erlaubt. * Nach ca. 1,75 Stunden sind wir wieder am Ausgangspunkt zurück. * Bei einer Teilnahme von über 5 Personen gehen wir in Paaren und wechseln diese alle 10 Min. Wenn du aber lieber alleine gehst, ist das auch vollkommen in Ordnung. * Für alle, die einfach mal etwas Neues ausprobieren wollen. **Bist du bereit?** Dann komm mit! **Start bei U6 Spittelau Ausgang Donaukanal** Nochmal: um **PUNKT 13.00 Uhr dort sein**, denn **nach kurzen Vorstellungsrunde gehen wir gleich los. Sei pünktlich, denn die Gruppe wartet nicht.** Du musst nichts vorbereiten oder dich gar anmelden, komm einfach vorbei. Ausreden gibt es nicht. Geh mit und freu dich auf eine tolle neue Erfahrung. **Wer macht es?** Ich bin Marie Meyer-Marktl und Ideengeberin, Host und Organisatorin von Walk & Talk. Ich unterstütze seit 2019 Menschen dabei Freude ins Arbeitsleben zu bekommen und bin Business und Life Coachin. „Strahle, wenn du an deine Arbeit denkst“, ist meine Vision für jedermann und jedefrau. Privat merkte ich, dass ich endlich wieder mehr Bewegung brauche – und das klappt am besten gemeinsam mit anderen Menschen. Sei dabei bei Walk & Talk und bring Bewegung in dein Leben. **Do you speak English? Then welcome to Walk & Talk!** This event is suited for all people who like to connect to other people and like to walk. The beauty of this regular event is that you are in the nature and you walk around 7 kilometers. In the meantime, if you feel for it, you talk, if not, you just walk. You do something for your health, get to know new people and you will feel much better. It’s FREE, all you need to do is to show up this Tuesday at no later than 1 pm at the U6 Spittelau exit to Donaukanal.

Join us for an evening about content management in large organizations, and who's actually using what. This Meetup looks at how government agencies and big companies in Germany and Austria choose their CMS. WordPress, TYPO3, Magnolia, Craft CMS, Drupal. They're all on the table. What drives the decision? Where does open source have the edge? And where does WordPress fit in when the stakes are high? Expect real-world examples, honest comparisons, and plenty of room for discussion. 🕡 18:30 live, SAE Vienna, Kaisersaal ⏱️ 18:45 – Martin Mucha **„Die CMS des Bundes: Auswahlkriterien für große Organisationen"** Germany runs a lot of TYPO3. Austria leans toward Magnolia, Craft CMS, and WordPress. But which platform ends up in which project, and why? In this talk, Martin Mucha walks through the CMS landscape in public-sector and enterprise contexts. Which systems are actually in use, what criteria drive the decision, and where each platform has its strengths and its limits. He'll cover TYPO3, Magnolia, WordPress, and Craft CMS with a practical focus on what large organizations actually care about when choosing a system. Martin Mucha is a web developer, WordPress enthusiast, and co-host of the WP Meetup Vienna. ⏱️ 19:45 – Nico Grienauer **„Open Source & Drupal in der EU"** The EU has a clear preference for open-source software. Drupal has become one of the go-to platforms in European institutions. But why? In this talk, Nico Grienauer looks at where open source is gaining ground in the EU, why Drupal specifically keeps coming up, and what that means for the broader CMS ecosystem. Whether you work with WordPress, evaluate platforms for larger projects, or just want to understand the enterprise CMS landscape in Europe, this Meetup will give you practical insights, fresh perspectives, and good conversations with fellow web professionals. See you in Vienna! 🍻 ★ Speaker wanted!

Step into a slow, mindful morning 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. 🌿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: 13th of May 🌿Time: 09:30—12:00 (it might take longer, depending on group tempo) 🌿Location: DooBeeDoo Goodies Atelier (Märzstraße 86, 1150 Vienna) An immersive workshop for quiet hands, patient minds, and those who enjoy the slow rhythm of creation. 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.

**Total Eclipse of the Chart: School Redistricting Dashboards** In this presentation, we will explore the utilization of maps, sets, and SQL within a Tableau dashboard to help provide “what-if” analyses generated through the use of a mapped dashboard, providing different scenarios and the potential implications of these. While in this use case we are focused on a large school district, the concepts of utilizing existing data to explore the future impacts of modifying different geographic boundaries can be useful to many industries, balancing the mix of maps with visual analytics. **About Our Speaker** Robert Kramer is the Data Systems and State Reporting Coordinator at South Western City Schools in Grove City.
