📢 Main event starts at 18:30 CET Join us for a deep dive into Seed7, a language shaped by Thomas Mertes’ decades-long pursuit of versatility, efficiency, and memory safety. Thomas will walk us through Seed7’s unique features: declarations, parameters, compile-time execution, parser mechanics, types as first-class citizens, templates, arrays, abstract data types, and the parser’s role in the run-time library. We’ll also look at the Seed7 Structured Syntax Definition, how semantic rules for constructs like for-loops are defined, and the Seed7 test suite. A live demo will follow. Memory safety and management are central topics. Thomas will discuss Seed7’s approach to performance, operating system guarantees, stack, heap, and global data, restrictions on memory access, safety opt-in and opt-out, handling unsafe code, and how Seed7 ensures safety. He’ll also cover OS function calls and string operations. Whether you’re curious about language design or interested in practical safety strategies, this session offers a clear look at Seed7’s architecture and philosophy. 🪙 We appreciate any **voluntary donations** on-site. ⏱️ Arrive early for pre-socializing—simple snacks and drinks will be provided. 🍕 After the event, we will relocate to a pizzeria (at your own expense).

PCE - "Philosophic Conversation in English" is a discussion event in English language which focuses on psychology, philosophy, self-consciousness and self-realization. The conversation is based on inclusive discussion rules. We will meet at at a restaurant where we will have a private room exclusively reserved for our event. At the beginning we will choose the two topics to discuss. Everybody can suggest a topic. Afterwards we will vote what topics to discuss. The person who suggests a winning topic will start the discussion by explaining his/her idea. Afterwards everybody gets his/her chance to make a statement. But you can also decide to remain silent and only listen, if you prefer that. We have a time limit for statements, so that everybody has enough time to speak. It is not allowed to interrupt somebody who is speaking. After a statement everybody can ask a question and the speaker will answer. After the first part there will be a 15 minutes break before we start the second part. Everybody is welcome to our event: We are interested in your thoughts and opinions! It is no problem if you arrive late and you can also leave whenever you want. Please don't bring pets to this event because the room is usually very crowded. Please make sure to register for the event to secure your seat! Please check out last event's topics via this link: [http://pce-topic.project-website.org](http://pce-topic.project-website.org/)

Watch & perform every Monday at The Comedy Pub. Free entry, cozy vibe, endless laug Vienna’s English Stand-Up Comedy Open Mic – Every Monday at The Comedy Pub ## 😂 Mondays Don’t Have to Suck The weekend might be over — but the laughter doesn’t stop. Welcome to **Monday Night Laughs**, Vienna’s cozy and community-driven **English stand-up comedy open mic**, where locals, expats, and travelers come together to kick off the week with big laughs and good vibes. Every Monday night, *The Comedy Pub Vienna* turns into a creative playground for comedians and comedy lovers alike. Whether it’s your first time at a show or your tenth, you’ll feel right at home. Forget Netflix. Forget the Monday blues. This is your weekly reminder that laughter fixes everything — especially on a Monday. ## 🎭 What Is *Monday Night Laughs*? It’s not a fancy showcase or a big-ticket headliner night. It’s something much better — it’s *real*. Here, the mic is open, the drinks are cold, and the laughter is honest. You’ll see comedians from all over the world — from total beginners testing their first five minutes to experienced performers working out new jokes for their next tour. No two shows are ever the same. One moment you’ll hear a joke about Austrian bureaucracy, the next about dating disasters in Spain or cultural shocks in Tokyo. It’s raw, spontaneous, and absolutely unpredictable — the way live comedy is meant to be. And because it’s all happening in English, the night draws a wonderfully mixed crowd: locals, internationals, and everyone in between. ## 🎙️ For Performers If you’ve ever thought, *“I could do that,”* this is your sign. *Monday Night Laughs* is one of Vienna’s most supportive and encouraging open mics for new comedians. No judgment, no pressure — just a room full of people who love to laugh and want you to succeed. It’s the perfect place to try stand-up for the first time, or to test new material before your next big show. The vibe is friendly, relaxed, and full of creative energy — comedy at its purest form. Sign-up is open before the show — come early, grab a drink, and put your name down. Who knows? You might be the next crowd favorite. ## 🎤 For the Audience If you just want to watch, you’re in for a treat. This is one of Vienna’s most authentic live experiences — a place where you can laugh, relax, and see the future stars of stand-up before they blow up. You’ll witness comedy in its rawest form: jokes being born, ideas taking shape, and performers finding their voice. Sometimes it’s perfect, sometimes it’s weird — but it’s *always* fun. Grab a beer, find a seat, and enjoy a night full of unpredictable laughter. ## 🍻 The Atmosphere The Comedy Pub isn’t just a venue — it’s a community. It’s the heart of Vienna’s growing stand-up scene, a space where people come together to connect, perform, and laugh without judgment. The audience cheers each performer, the comedians support one another, and the whole night feels like hanging out with friends who happen to be hilarious. It’s the kind of Monday night you’ll want to make a tradition. ## 📍 The Venue: The Comedy Pub Vienna 📍 **Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Vienna** Nestled in the heart of Vienna’s 5th district, *The Comedy Pub* is the city’s only dedicated stand-up comedy club — a cozy Irish-style bar with warm lighting, a friendly crowd, and the perfect stage for laughter. 🍻 A full bar with great drinks 🎭 Intimate setting with front-row energy 🌍 A melting pot of locals, expats & travelers 🪑 First come, first seated – so come early! ## 📅 Event Details 📆 **Every Monday** 🚪 **Doors open:** 19:30 🎤 **Show starts:** 20:00 📍 **The Comedy Pub**, Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Vienna 🗣️ **Language:** English 💶 **Entry:** Free entry – donations welcome (if you laugh, you pay in karma… or cash 😉) ## ✨ Why You’ll Love It Because this is what real comedy feels like. No lights, no filters, no fake laughs — just honest jokes, good people, and that unbeatable live energy that you can’t stream. **Monday Night Laughs** is more than a show — it’s a community, a creative space, and the friendliest way to start your week in Vienna. So come for the comedy, stay for the connections, and leave with sore cheeks from laughing. Monday Night Laughs: Vienna’s English stand-up open mic! Watch & perform every Monday at The Comedy Pub.

Claude MAX Plan 20x for 2 months 2. DJI Mini 4K Drone 3. Flipper Zero **First talk**: **"Making significant software architecture decisions"** by Bert Jan Schrijver (OpenValue) Software architecture represents the significant design decisions that shape a system, where significant is measured by the cost of change. At its core, architectural decision-making is about balancing trade-offs to align technical solutions with broader requirements. But how do you approach a trade-off analysis? How do you choose between different solutions, frameworks, tools, languages, or cloud providers? Which factors should guide your decisions beyond just technical fit? And how do you make sure you’re not overlooking non-technical aspects like team expertise, long-term supportability, and hiring feasibility? In this session, he’ll share a structured approach to making informed, high-impact architecture decisions. We’ll break down technical, organizational, financial and other trade-offs and explore how to evaluate and balance competing concerns. You’ll walk away with practical strategies to make better architectural decisions in real-world projects. **About Bert Jan** Bert Jan is CTO at OpenValue and focuses on Java, AI, software architecture, Continuous Delivery and DevOps. Bert Jan is a Java Champion, JavaOne Rock Star speaker, Duke's Choice Award winner and leads NLJUG, the Dutch Java User Group. He loves to share his experience by speaking at conferences, writing for the Dutch Java magazine and helping out Devoxx4Kids with teaching kids how to code. **Second talk**: **"Device Management the DevOps Way"** by Erik Auer and Dimitrij Klesev (Whizus) In today’s hybrid work environment, traditional device management is often manual and opaque. This talk presents a DevOps approach to MDM using Infrastructure as Code and automation for speed, transparency, and GDPR compliance. We’ll show how Terraform defines device configurations and policies as code, while GitHub Workflows automate the full lifecycle — from validation and testing through approval to deployment. Emphasis is placed on a solid approval process where changes are reviewed via Terraform plans, with apply triggered only after the full pipeline and approvals. Learn practical patterns to make device management faster, safer, and fully auditable — turning MDM into a reliable, governed platform capability. **About Dimitrij and Erik** Dimi is Tech Lead at WhizUs with several years of experience working in the Kubernetes ecosystem and the Cloud Native domain.

[VIBE CODE WEDNESDAY] is a weekly gathering of people, hosted by weXelerate, where we are building things with AI — and we'd love for you to join us. Here's the idea: everyone has a mile-long to-do list and a bunch of ideas they never get around to. Things that don't get scheduled don't get done. So we made it a thing. Every Wednesday at weXelerate in Vienna, we block off the time and vibe code together. Think of it like your weekly gym session — except instead of lifting weights, you're finally building that thing you've been putting off for months. Two reasons people keep coming back: you actually get stuff done, and you're not alone in the room and meet new people. Someone next to you just found a tool you've never heard of or you get honest feedback on your idea. That kind of casual knowledge sharing is hard to find — and it happens naturally here. From pros to newbies everyone is welcome. No experience required. No pressure. Just show up and build. Wednesdays @ weXelerate, Praterstraße 1, 1020 Vienna

This time, it’s all about **Agentic Coding**! Whether you are a pure vibecoder building entire apps with natural language or a seasoned dev architecting autonomous agent loops, we want to hear your story. The session is designed to be accessible for newcomers, while still providing depth and practical value for people already working with AI tools. **🕒 Date:** May 19th, 18:00 📍 **Location:** Walls.io Vienna Office **How to get there:** Schönbrunner Strasse 213-215 (close to U4/U6 Längenfeldgasse). Follow the Meetup-Signs! Enter the inner yard through the gas-station, then go up to the 3rd floor! ([https://share.freshvanroot.com/LBYdlr3Z](https://share.freshvanroot.com/LBYdlr3Z)) **Agenda:** TBA **Confirmed Speakers:** **[Edouard Maleix](https://www.linkedin.com/in/edouard-maleix/) \- How AI\-First Dev Teams Build Collective Intelligence** Edouard has been watching teams accumulate agent rules, notes, and feedback controls that never quite add up to a real system. Agents repeat mistakes across sessions, guidance grows without being validated, and what gets built is instructions, not reusable knowledge. His talk is about closing that gap: giving agents their own identity, signed commits, and reasoning linked to every change. When something breaks, the agent captures it, links it to the fix, compares it with lessons from other agents and humans, and feeds what survives back into future work. The goal is making mistakes compound into collective intelligence instead of disappearing into chat history. *** **[Andrew Demczuk](https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-demczuk-4038a217/) \- Claws Across the Internet** Andrew is an OpenClaw contributor and AI battle arena builder who has spent his time figuring out what happens when you stop thinking about single agents and start connecting agents with agents. His talk is about AWA: Agents with Agents. When one agent can securely spawn and coordinate subagents across the internet, the force multiplier changes the game entirely. Andrew has stress-tested this in some of the more demanding environments imaginable: competitive AI battle arenas like CodeClash and BitGN, where agents don't just assist, they compete. The talk covers what agentic coordination actually looks like in practice, what secure subagent spawning requires, and what builders can take from the competitive AI space into their own workflows. *** **[David Wischnewski](https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-wischnewski/) \- Vibe Coding vs\. Agentic Engineering** David isn't a developer. He's a builder who uses AI to turn ideas into working tools, workflows, and products. That puts him in an interesting position to compare two distinct ways of working with AI: vibe coding, which is fast and chaotic, and agentic engineering, which starts to become reliable. In this talk, he shares what he's learned building with AI as a non-engineer: where coding agents genuinely help, where they break, and which habits separate a fun demo from something you can actually trust. *** **[Karim El Kaddioui](https://www.linkedin.com/in/karim-elkaddioui/) \- AI Agents in Knowledge Work** Karim is the FP&A Team Lead at Meister, and he's increasingly adding terminal-based AI agents into new and existing workflows. Using Codex, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork, he runs data analysis, builds decks, and manages his task tracker without touching most of the traditional tooling. This talk is a practitioner's view of agentic coding outside of software development: what it actually looks like when a finance professional runs agents in the terminal, where it works well, and what it takes to get there. *** **[Daniel Siegl](https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-siegl-b5903a24/) \- The Worktree Multiverse: Where AI Agents Build Software** Daniel Siegl is talking about infrastructure: specifically, the Git primitives that agentic development needs. Worktrees and Git notes have been around for years and mostly ignored. Agentic software engineering makes them essential. When autonomous agents work in parallel, managing state, history, and collaboration across sessions requires more than a single checkout and a commit message. This talk revisits these underused Git concepts and explains why they're suddenly at the center of orchestrating agents that build software. *** **Want to speak at our next event? The topic of our next meetup is Vibecoding in Marketing. How do marketers of all types use vibecoding in their roles?** **Apply** ➡️ [https://forms.gle/z3GwEheRycJGMfZ6A](https://forms.gle/z3GwEheRycJGMfZ6A)

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!
