Vitalia, this is great!
We have almost same timeline so please let us know when you get feedback.
I also decided to ask for GCMS notes but in second half of March (if nothing happen until than).
This is based on my rough approximation that until then they should start opening our FSW/2013 applications.

Currently I'm anxiously waiting for statistics to be updated so we can recon how many cases have been closed in 4Q/2013 and remaining size of backlog.
But as we can see, in Family Sponsorship stream there is a lot of good news.
Therefore I think that Vienna works very hard and they currently opened even cases from beginning of April 2013 in FAM stream.
This gives me some optimism :)

Cheers!

Don't you worry, I will share the news regarding the GCMS notes.
I was looking at the last statistics - Skilled Workers Inventory as of July 2013 (cases) where it says that Vienna has total of 202 FSW cases. It's been more than six months from July so probably they are finishing with the old applications.
Do you know when will they update the statistics for the last quarter?

The last update was early novemver, so another update is due (this will cover the 3rd quarter 2013).

But don't get your hopes up too high - the FSW-Vienna-backlog has not been cleared, as applications from 2012 and earlier are still awaiting actual process.
 
My GCMS notes shows there was no single change in VO. I applied in April'13 under PNP with a job offer - theoretically, my application has to be given higher priority than for FSW. So - don't expect too much from your notes.
 
@Anvaller
boy, congratulations from me ;)

Chears!

Yes, i just checked. Last update was on November 7'th.
We have details on page 31 in this thread. BC created very nice analysis:
http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/applicants-vo-vienna-please-join-t79097.450.html

So I guess that we should see new update, if not this week, than next one. At least I hope so :)

This is the direct link to spreadsheet that we are waiting to be updated (sheet "SW - Cases"):
