In mid-May we had the pleasure of attending our first in-person techorama.be conference in beautiful Antwerp. Techorama mainly focuses on developer technologies, architecture, but also on Modern Workplace and Data and Power Platform. This year the conference had the theme “Jungle Edition”. The entire conference and details were jungle themed, including team outfit, exhibitors and even a waterfall. What a great (jungle) experience! Techorama boasts an impressive lineup of renowned speakers and experts from various domains, attracting attendees with broad offerings.

March 8th is celebrated worldwide as Women’s day. There is more of that: March is Women’s History Month. Working as a women in technology is not as exotical as it was 25 years ago, still, there is room for improvement to engage women to look into jobs in technology and also to engage them to bond with other women in technology and join allies with like minded people in the industry. In 2022 I started with the idea to celebrate women’s history month with highlighting a women in Tech every day and write why she is a role model for me and what she does. But why only 2022? Why not 2023 as well? There are still so many women around us which I want to celebrate in the 31 days of march. What are your women or March? #WomensHistoryMonth ...

Worum geht es in dem Projekt? Wir bei atwork haben zurzeit ein superspannendes Projekt mit dem Titel “AI for Good” laufen, für das wir Deine Mithilfe benötigen. Wir haben ein Software-Tool entwickelt, mit dem es möglich ist mittels Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) Gebärdensprache automatisch in Untertitel etwa in Microsoft Teams oder Zoom Onlinemeetings zu übersetzen. Damit das auch wirklich gut funktioniert, benötigen wir GebärdensprecherInnen für die Österreichische Gebärdensprache (ÖGS), die mit uns gemeinsam kurze Videos einiger Basisgebärden aufnehmen. Zu Beginn werden wir rund 50 Gebärden aufnehmen, mit denen wir unser KI-Model trainieren und optimieren wollen. Zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt wollen wir das Trainingsdaten-Set auf rund 500 Gebärden erweitern. ...

Last Friday, the cloudusergroup organized the Virtual Community Event #ADCD2022, the Austrian Developer Community Day 2022. We had 25+ interesting sessions with great speakers and a great virtual day of the event. Here are some impressions of it. There hasn’t been a local community event for cloud developers for a long time. So we decided to hold such an event. Martina Grom and I, Toni Pohl, started to organize the event end of 2021. Due to the current Covid situation, it was clear that the event could unfortunately only take place virtually. Thankfully we got great support from Rainer Stropek, Martin Ullrich, Christian Glessner and Zaid Zaim. and we found some sponsors for advertising and for financing the community platform Hopin we wanted to use for the first time: Thanks to Microsoft Austria, atwork, Software Architects, hololux, tietoevry and to Coding Club Linz for your support! ...
