**THIS MEETUP WILL BE IN-PERSON 🕺** **We're starting at 17:40 this time! 🕒** **What to expect:** 🗣️ Two or three speakers 👥 Meet old and new friends from the community 🍕 Free food 🎉 Open-end and free drinks afterwards ✔️ Just RSVP! Agenda: * 17:30 - Doors open * **17:40 - Welcome by &‌‌amp and SQUER** * 17:50 - First talk * 18:35 - Break * 18:50 - Second talk * 19:35 - Food, Drinks & Networking * 21:30 - Doors closing 👂 **Talks:** 🗣️ Boris Wrubel **Developing Selenium Tests with AI: Practical Insights from Real-World Automation Projects** 🗣️ Philipp Greitbauer **Modern Java Packaging: From Slim Images to Swift Runtimes** 🧑‍💻 **Speakers:** **Boris Wrubel** has over 20 years of experience in software testing, specializing in test automation within agile environments. His expertise spans major projects in banking, telecommunications, and the public sector. For a decade, Boris was part of the Industrial Software Research Group (INSO) at Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), where he also organized and lectured in the "Software Testing" course. He holds a degree in Business Informatics, with a focus on project and quality management from TU Wien, and has contributed to open-source test automation projects in recent years. *Talk description:* He will share an honest field report from an ongoing project: How does my day-to-day work with Selenium change when generative AI is added as a support tool? Using concrete examples, I demonstrate how AI-based tools help with writing, revising, and understanding test code - for example, by suggesting test cases, proposing refactorings, or assisting with debugging. The focus is not on technology promises, but on real-world experience: Where does AI save time? Where does it lead you astray? And how does this change the role of the test automation engineer? The talk is aimed at anyone interested in the use of AI in quality assurance, with a focus on practical insights, pitfalls, and concrete learnings from everyday project work. **Philipp Greitbauer** is a software engineer at &‌‌amp, a Vienna-based software consulting company. While he works across the full stack, his focus lies in the backend using Java, Kotlin, and Spring Boot. Driven by a curiosity that often leads him down technical "rabbit holes", Philipp is committed to building proper technical foundations. He prioritizes utilizing existing tools to their full potential rather than reinventing the wheel, ensuring that systems are built efficiently. His daily work involves helping clients evolve their systems, drawing on his experience in the banking industry and the public sector. *Talk description:* In this session, we will look at modern strategies for efficiently packaging and running Spring Boot applications. If you are currently building Docker images by simply copying fat JARs, there are several newer tools and techniques in the Java ecosystem that can significantly optimize both your deployment process and runtime performance. We will explore the use of Buildpacks and Spring AOT, alongside JVM advancements like Project Leyden and Java 25’s Compact Object Headers. The talk will also contrast GraalVM with optimized JVM runtimes using AOT Cache or CRaC, examining how these different approaches address the challenges of startup time and resource usage. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Can't find what you like?** **Got something to say?** 📢 Send us your thoughts in the comments.

In this talk, we’ll show how easy it is to build an AI agent that can securely read Google Drive data and answer real business questions using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Through a simple JavaScript demo with Google ADK and Vertex AI, you’ll see how private docs and slides can power use cases like internal knowledge assistants, onboarding bots, management Q&A, and support automation without complex ML infrastructure. This session is for developers, founders, and tech leaders who want practical, production-ready AI use cases and a clear understanding of how to turn existing company data into useful AI agents. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🗣️ Priscila Oliveira ▶️ Comprehend First, Code Later: The AI Skill I Rely On Daily Literally everyone is vibe coding. It's about letting AI write, commit, and ship code you never even read. Perfect for prototypes and side projects - no argument there. But what happens when you're working in a million-line codebase where you need to understand before you change? Quality code still matters. It is widely stated in the software development community that developers spend 70–80% of their time reading and understanding existing code, not writing new code. We now have an incredibly smart tool - so why not use it for exactly that? So I went straight to the data - 239 of my own messages from daily work at Sentry. What I found flipped the narrative: my #1 use of AI wasn't generation. It was comprehension. Whether navigating unfamiliar code or reconstructing past decisions from commit history - AI became the teammate who never gets tired of my questions. In this talk, I'll show you the loop that actually makes me productive in a large, complex codebase: understand first, then say 'go ahead'. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **🗣️Want to give a Talk?** ▶️ [https://viennajs.org/en/participate/give-a-talk](https://viennajs.org/en/participate/give-a-talk) **Location:** Sentry Jakov-Lind-Straße 5, 4. OG (Entrance next to Max & Benito) 1020 Wien **Sponsors:** 🙏 Sentry Sentry is the market leader in the error monitoring space and like many startups with engineer founders, Sentry was born out of frustration with technology.

Join us at our March Meetup event for great talks, discussions and beers. Big thanks to Posedio for hosting! **Agenda**: * Doors open 5:30 p.m. * ***Talk 1: 6:00 to 6:30 p.m.*** * **Speaker**: Christian Kirchknopf * **Title**: Building a Secure In-House LLMaaS Platform: BRZ's Approach to AI for Federal Government * **Abstract**: In this talk, I demonstrate how we (BRZ) have developed an Enterprise-Ready LLM-as-a-Service platform that provides government applications simple and secure access to Large Language Models – without dependency on public cloud providers and without data sharing with third parties. Through a unified API, AI applications gain access to locally operated models (e.g., Mistral) or optionally to public cloud providers – depending on requirements, costs, and data protection needs of the workload. Discuss the architectural and product decisions: vLLM as a GPU-optimized inference engine, a central AI gateway that enforces multi-tenancy, security, and comprehensive observability. A brief live demo will show how applications and developers access AI models through a single API – with token-based quotas per tenant and intelligent routing. An experience report from an exciting AI infrastructure project in Austria. * **Break: 6:30 to 6:45 p.m.** * ***Talk 2: 6:45 to 7:30 p.m.*** * **Speaker**: Damjan Gjurovski * **Title**: What is A(I) platform? * **Abstract:** In this talk I will discuss the need of platforms in the age of AI. I will outline some hard-won lessons from my previous experience in developer platforms, data platforms and SRE teams, and discuss how these apply to AI platforms. On the one hand, I will make the argument that AI makes certain aspects of platforms and platform engineering unnecessary, but on the other hand reinforces the need for other platform components. Finally, I will attempt to differentiate between the two new platform types out there – AI platforms and AI Engineering platforms and discuss the capabilities and requirements for each. * **Networking**: start 7:45 p.m.

**THE LAST CEO** What if AI doesn't automate the factory floor — but the corner office? A CEO costs 300K+. They make decisions based on dashboards, quarterly reports, market data. Pattern-matching at the highest salary level. Exactly the thing AI is provably best at. The third AI Salon asks the uncomfortable question: If AI makes strategic decisions faster, cheaper, and more data-driven, what's left for the humans in the C-suite? We're bringing this to **Funkhaus Wien** \- Vienna's legendary former radio broadcasting house\. Brutalist architecture\, cathedral ceilings\, and a history of transmission\. The perfect stage for asking what still needs a human voice\. **Programme:** 🎤 **Opening** — Andreas Fraunberger, Can Nuri, Michael Raab 💬 **Keynote Conversation** — Betina Kitzler (MIT Sloan Fellow) × Andreas 🎨 **Artistic Intervention** — Sarah Rechberger (Transmedia Artist) 🧠 **Think Tank** — You decide: replace the CEO — yes or no? Then you design the org chart of 2030. 🎉 **Afterparty & Networking** Date: March 27, 2026, 6:30 PM Location: Funkhaus Wien, Argentinierstraße Language: English **brought to you by** [FUNKHAUS WIEN](https://www.funkhaus.wien/) [Fachgruppe UBIT der WKW](https://unternehmensberatung-und-wir.wien/) [AI Austria ](https://www.aiaustria.com/) [chim.ai](www.chim.ai) Thanks to Ruben Hetfleisch, Patrick Schabus, Philipp Lammer and many more for contribution **Note:** We increased Max Registrations to 140.

**About this event:** Join us on 26 March in Vienna for an evening where we'll explore how leaders actually develop capability - not in classrooms, but inside work itself. **Agenda:** **16:00 – Arrive, connect over drinks and nibbles** **16:30 – The Future of Leadership: Workflow-Embedded Skills Development** * Why traditional leadership development isn't transferring to practice * What leaders actually need in 2026 (and it's not just another model) * What workflow embedded skills development actually looks like - real examples from teams we've worked with **17:30 – Interactive Workshop: Building the Leadership Skills Your Organisation Needs** * Learn about ways to build people skils hands-on * Work through a real leadership challenge with peers * Leave with practical next steps for your context **19:30 – Networking** * Wine, food (gluten-free and vegan options available) * Connect with people facing similar challenges **16:00 – Arrive, connect over drinks and nibbles** **Why this matters** Leadership development is broken. Organisations invest heavily, leaders attend programmes, certificates get handed out - and then nothing changes. The problem isn't lack of frameworks. It's the gap between learning and doing. In the coming years, leadership development must shift from event-based training to workflow-embedded practice. At Kokoro, we've spent years answering one question: how do you empower leaders to create the conditions for sustained performance, genuine motivation, and teams that thrive? At this event, we bring leaders, teams, L&D professionals, and organisations who are committed to making that shift. Together, we will develop steps to make it real. **Who is this for** You're leading a team, department, or organisation. You're in L&D and see that traditional programmes aren't transferring to practice. You run an SME and need practical ways to develop leaders without the corporate overhead. You've sent people to leadership programmes and watched them return motivated, and then not being able to transfer the skills in to work. You know the theory-practice gap is real. You want skills development that builds into daily workflows, not outside them. **Event Details** 📆 Thursday, 26 March 2026 ⏰ 16:30–19:30 (Arrive from 16:00) **📍**Olinda Bar, Schönbrunner Str. 23, 1050 Vienna 🪑: 40 seats (limited) 🗣️: English and German 💲: Free **Register** Secure your place now by registering as spaces are limited. Questions? Reach out to Imran @ imran@bekokoro.com We ask you to register only if you can really make it. Thanks. **About Kokoro** Kokoro was founded in 2018 because we believed the way performance is measured and optimised is broken. We work with leaders and teams to build resilient, high-performing cultures where people can learn, grow, and thrive - even amid complexity and change. We do this through our team and leadership development software and services like one-on-one coaching, team development, organisational consulting that help leaders turn intention into habit. Our approach draws on evidence from flow theory, motivation science, neurobiology, and real-world practice with teams across various industries and sizes. Visit [bekokoro.com](https://www.bekokoro.com/) to learn more. **Join the Kokoro community** This is our first of 4 gatherings in 2026 - a chance to (re)connect with people making real change happen, and to introduce you to what we're building. If the culture and performance challenges you face resonate, we'd love to work with you. Looking forward to seeing you on 26 March. #Leadership #TeamDevelopment #SkillsThatMatter #LearningAndDevelopment #FutureOfWork #Vienna

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA

Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations. 
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that. We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus. 
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn. 
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play. 
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders… 
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords… 
IMPORTANT: 
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for. 
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.

Central Ohio Radio Enthusiasts—CORE—is an informal community for anyone enthusiastic or curious about radio—whether you're new to radio and want to learn or you've been tinkering for years and want to share. Ham radio operators, GMRS users, Meshtastic fans, software-defined radio nerds, makers, and technical and non-technical folks are all welcome. No experience required or expected. This month we have **WiFi HaLow: Introduction and Practical Use** with **Alex Barbur**. Details are are [core.radio](https://core.radio).
