I've heard good things from other Australians about Vienna of late, and you've probably convinced me to drop by before or after OHM2013 in August. Few tips for internationalisation purposes... Germanisms: city bike, public barbecuing. Style: US would typically (over)use exclamations! Like, There's loads to do in Vienna! (and BBQ ) AU would be Mate, there's shit-loads to do in Vienna! (and have a barbie or BBQ ) NZ wo…

Regarding your statement: "I've heard good things from other Australians about Vienna of late" I kindly contribute from the middle of Europe the following poster:

Thanks for this, sent it around to my coworkers who got a kick out of it. (I work in a firm in Linz)

Lagging a lot on a i7 Macbook Pro Retina with 16 Gbs of RAM in Chrome. It is a bit better in Safari, but still not smooth.

I opened it on 2011 27'' iMac (16 GB RAM, 2.7 GHz Core i5, AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB) in Firefox 19.0.2 and everything was smooth, and CPU was barely used at all. I'm not sure why your Macbook which should be a faster machine is sweating on that page?

Vienna is a very nice city to live in. Yet, it is not exactly a technology hub, so probably not a destination of preference for the HN crowd.

i and a lot of other people are actively working on the technology part, i.e.: http://www.viennajs.org/ meetup, https://www.facebook.com/RailsGirlsVienna , http://events.jquery.org/2013/eu/ (happened a few weeks ago, but will happen again next year), https://metalab.at/ , http://www.gdg-vienna.at/ , .... said that, if you want to live in vienna and are an experienced dev. send me a tweet, we will hook you up with a j…

What would you suggest for a general developer meetup? I'm in Linz and was thinking about coming up and seeing Metalab and going to a developer meetup. Any good events coming up you would recommend?

Small nitpick: I doubt Vienna's got 20+ universities as the infographic would suggest. It's far more likely what you meant is "faculty buildings" or something to that extent.

I would also venture a guess that most of those belong to a single University of Vienna.
