**Walk description (It’s the same hike that was planned for May 15th but got canceled due to the weather.):** This hike is still a T3 but it starts to be difficult because of the elevation gain (2000m). We start our hike at 9:00 am at Erstfeld station and make our way to the Hoch Geisberg. There may still be a bit of snow on the trail, but not much. https://whiterisk.ch/de/conditions/snow-maps/snow_depth According to the time we have left, we could take a shorter route to Altdorf — for example, by following the cable car down to Attinghausen. https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/2940708678?share_token=aAvsxogJd0MklM8gNjkB6fVOGRAKuOCavOmMMVYrlRlg1TPp7y&ref=wtd&t_s=referral&t_cid=route_share&t_ref_username=4403209765193 Possibility to go swimming in the waldnachter seeli or in the Reuss **How to go with the train (from Zurich and I will meet you on the way):** https://www.sbb.ch/de?stops=Z%C3%BCrich+HB_I8503000\~Erstfeld_I8505114&day=2026-05-25&time=07_00&moment=dep&trip=1 **dedicated whatapp group** https://chat.whatsapp.com/J0JPyXgjnGd7j30ZCZTmiU **Registration:** To sign up, please select "Yes" in the WhatsApp community survey for this activity: [🌄 Switzerland Discovery Crew (Preferred Ages 18-35)🌄 | WhatsApp-Kanal](https://www.whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaoercY1XquRrJm58k3V) If the event will happen in more than 30 days, I haven't added the survey in the channel yet. (Because message in a WhatsApp channel can be read by a new member only 30 days before he joins. But you can already enter the corresponding WhatsApp group) If you are concerned about privacy, only the admin of a WhatsApp channel can see who has voted in a poll (unlike a WhatsApp group). Please sign up only when you are certain! You can also register through Meetup, as it helps build momentum; however, I rely only on the number of people who signed up through the WhatsApp survey.

Im Punch Needle Workshop verwandelst du einfache Fäden in ein einzigartiges Kunstwerk. Punch Needle ist eine moderne und zugleich entspannende Sticktechnik, bei der mit einer speziellen Nadel Schlaufen in den Stoff gestochen werden. So entstehen strukturierte, weiche Oberflächen und ausdrucksstarke Muster. Der Workshop ist ideal, um Punch Needle kennenzulernen, kreativ abzuschalten oder in kurzer Zeit etwas Schönes mit den eigenen Händen zu erschaffen – ganz ohne Vorkenntnisse. Zu Beginn des Workshops erhältst du eine kurze Einführung in die Grundlagen der Punch-Needle-Technik. Ich zeige dir Schritt für Schritt, wie die Nadel richtig verwendet wird, wie du den Faden führst und gleichmäßige Schlaufen erzeugst. Du lernst, worauf du achten musst, damit dein Motiv sauber und stabil wird. Die ruhige, gleichmäßige Bewegung macht Punch Needle besonders entspannend und perfekt für eine kreative Auszeit vom Alltag. Im Workshop kannst du zwischen zwei kreativen Optionen wählen: Option 1 – Motiv sticken (29 CHF) Du wählst ein bestehendes (oder eigenes) Motiv und stickst dieses ohne Hintergrund. Diese Option ist ideal für Einsteiger\*innen oder alle, die Punch Needle unkompliziert ausprobieren möchten. Der Fokus liegt ganz auf der Technik und dem Motiv selbst. Hier kannst du dein Werk in eine Untertasse verwandeln. Option 2 – Motiv mit Hintergrund (35 CHF) Hier stickst du dein Motiv inklusive Hintergrund.

**Sponsored by:** ***\- ACP*** ***\- TD SYNNEX*** ***\- Technopark Winterthur*** **Partner-led and partner-branded by**: ***Microsoft*** Speakers: * Firas Cheaib (ACP) – When Models Become the Commodity * Victor Chibotaru(LogicStar AI) – Shipping Faster, Drowning Sooner Abstract: When Models Become the Commodity ACP Engineering works extensively with LLMs to write production code across a small team. What makes that work is not the models, but the groundwork laid before them: a portfolio of Python projects sharing the same tooling, structure, tests, CI, and linters, the same conditions that already made the codebase easy for humans to navigate. That foundation is what powers the current build of ACP-M, ACP's industrial IoT platform for manufacturing customers, and an early agentic-loop prototype now running internally. The next step is enabling customers to automate their own operations the same way. Doing that requires the same kind of preparation on their side: turning fragmented operational data into knowledge graphs, unified namespaces, and typed semantic layers, so that agents act on information that is short, focused, and reliable. Once that environment exists, the model becomes a commodity. What matters is enterprise processes and domain knowledge, not which model happens to be in fashion that quarter. Attendees will leave with a concrete way to assess whether their own environment is ready for agents at all, and what it takes to get there -- Shipping Faster, Drowning Sooner AI ships your features faster than ever, but it also ships bugs faster than ever. Code got cheap, maintenance didn't: customer complaints stack up, Sentry alerts overflow, and triaging the pile is still as expensive as it ever was. I'll show how LogicStar finds bugs across your Sentry, Jira and codebase, separates signal from noise, and helps your team fix issues that matter.

15.45 Uhr Kochen für Kochliebhaber 17.30 Uhr gemeinsames Essen 19.30 privat den Film anschauen 21.00 Besprechung des Films Liebe Filmliebhaber Wir besprechendie die 89 Minuten dauernde französische Komödie «Nichts zu verschenken» (Original «Radin! - «Knauser») aus dem Jahr 2016, nachdem sie jeder privat angeschaut hat. Das Drehbuch stammt von Laurant Turner und Nicolas Cuche, die Regie von Fred Cavayé Wir freuen uns über jeden, der kommen kann und Freude am gemeinsamen Besprechen hat. Sie können sehr gerne diese Einladung an andere Interessierte verschicken. Weitere Daten für Filmabende: Immer am letzten Samstag des Monats (ausser Juli und Dezember) – zum Eintragen in die Agenda 27\. Juni 29\. August 26\. September 31\. Oktober 28\. November 19\. Dezember Handlung: Der Violinist François Gautier erlebt Genugtuung, wenn er bis zum Äussersten sparsam sein kann und minimiert dabei seinen ökologischen Fussabdruck, ohne Auto, ohne Strom, ohne Warmwasser, ohne Ö, ohne Kleider und anderem Konsum. Er erlebte in den ersten Lebensjahren, dass die Mutter ständig mit dem Vater wegen dessen Ausgaben heftig stritt. Die Mutter versuchte den Sohn dazu zu erziehen, nicht wie der Vater zu werden. Francois schloss unbewusst daraus, der Mutter genügen zu müssen. Er musste seinen unverstandenen Lebenssinn darin finden, kein Geld auszugeben. Scheint es ihm nicht zu gelingen, kommt er in grösste Not. Diese klare Zielrichtung durchdringt sein gesamtes Fühlen, Denken und Handeln - mit allen Nebenwirkungen auf seine Beziehungen zu anderen Menschen. So muss er andere ständig vor den Kopf stossen, indem er Kleinigkeiten entwendet, anderen keine Freude machen kann, wenn es etwas kostet oder seinen Beitrag in der Eigentümerversammlung bezahlen sollte. So muss er sich isolieren. Er wird für andere zu einem unsympathischen Menschen. Die Liebe zu der Cellistin Valerie und das plötzliche Auftauchen einer 16-jährigen Tochter bringt die Einschränkungen seiner Lebenslinie besonders deutlich zum Ausdruck. Er wird darauf humorvoll darauf gestossen, dass eine Gefühlswandlung bei ihm ansteht. Die Unterstellung, dass er ein guter Mensch ist, hilft ihm dabei, nach und nach Freude daran zu entwickeln, für andere Menschen Interesse entwickeln zu können, zu helfen und darin Genugtuung und Beziehung zu anderen Menschen zu erleben. So kann er sowohl symbolhaft mit seinen Nachbarn eine gute Verbindung aufbauen, seiner Tochter helfen und ebenso die Liebe von Valerie erwidern und mit ihr ein gemeinsames Leben aufbauen.

The OWASP community is getting together for another meetup in May 2026! Join us for some security talks 🔐, good company 🤝, and a little aperitif 🍕. **Program:** **16:00** - **Doors open**: Grab a drink, meet old and new friends from the OWASP Switzerland community **16:30** - **Hello from OWASP Switzerland** **16:40 - Talk: AI-Driven Development Lifecycle (AI-DLC) (Markus Rollwagen, Senior Solutions Architect, AWS)** **17:25** **-** **(10min break)** **17:35 - Talk: Using HoneyPots to protect critical Infrastructure (Giulio Grazzi, Head IT Security, SRF)** **18:35** - **(10min break)** **18:45 - Talk: We Tried to Detect Prompt Injection in Coding Agents. Here's What Broke (Paulo Martins, Principal Security Engineer, GitLab)** **19:30 - Networking & Pizza 🍕 & Aperitif**🍷- Grab a bite and chat with old and new friends **Talks Details:** **AI-Driven Development Lifecycle (AI-DLC) (Markus):** Software development is undergoing a fundamental shift. AWS’s AI-Driven Development Lifecycle (AI-DLC) positions AI not as a mere assistant, but as a central collaborator across the entire SDLC — from requirements to deployment. In this session, we’ll explore how AI-DLC’s three phases — Inception, Construction, and Operations — redefine team workflows, and what this means for security: how AI enforces organization-specific security standards consistently, maintains human oversight at critical decision points, and ensures traceability from requirements to deployment. We’ll discuss the security opportunities and risks this methodology introduces, and how teams can adopt AI-DLC while keeping security a first-class citizen in every “bolt.” **Using HoneyPots to protect critical Infrastructure (Giulio):** How do you protect your critical infrastructure in the days of agentic ai and very limited options on your hosts? You need to get creative and use stone age tech. I’ll give you some insights, from our journey and pitfalls you might be facing (and should be avoided :)) **We Tried to Detect Prompt Injection in Coding Agents. Here's What Broke (Paulo):** As a community, we are delegating a significant part of our development workflow to agents, and as the use cases grow, the risk of prompt injection keeps increasing - to the point that it made it to the top of the OWASP LLM Top 10. In this talk, I'll explore the concept of "detect and prevent prompt injection" and why it is particularly hard to do for coding agents. **Speaker Details:** **Markus Rollwagen** Senior Solutions Architect at AWS, based in Switzerland Markus enjoys deep dive technical discussions, while keeping an eye on the big picture and the customer goals. With a software engineering background, he embraces infrastructure as code and is passionate about all things security. **Giulio Grazzi** Head IT Security, SRF From bike messaging to networking to infosec - always maximize never max out. Currently at Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen dealing with all Infosec topics, background in networking, embedded devices and mobile security. **Paulo Martin** Principal Security Engineer, GitLab since 2021 Now focused on AI security: prompt injection, sandboxing, and keeping agentic workflows from doing things they shouldn't.

Happy Birthday to all June birthday people! I put this on the schedule because it's my birthday month, and this is my favorite place; it's also Dave Koczur's (MAFIA meetup leader) birthday on June 8; if you who are reading this have a June birthday as well, tell us in the Comments! For anyone off work or with a flexible schedule, come to Pistachio Vera in German Village for a tea and pastry. We will try to get a table outside. If convenient, you could put a fold up chair in your car in case we can all sit outside but we run out of chairs. https://www.pistaciavera.com/

**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 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** TBD

Do you want more motivation and confidence to build Lasting Relationships? This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Are you burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival, while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This class is held at the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center.

Most people use AI like a search box: they type one sentence, hope for the best, and get frustrated when the answer is generic, wrong, or useless. But getting better results from tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI systems is not about memorizing magic prompts. It is about learning how to give the AI better context. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll break down how to make AI dramatically more useful by improving the way you communicate with it. You’ll learn how to give clearer instructions, provide examples, set constraints, ask for better output formats, and use follow-up questions to turn a mediocre answer into a genuinely useful one. We’ll cover practical techniques you can use immediately for work, learning, writing, coding, planning, research, and everyday problem solving. We’ll also touch on why these same ideas show up in more advanced AI systems, including RAG, agents, evaluations, and AI workflows. No technical background required. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and maybe one real task you wish AI was better at helping you with. **What you’ll learn:** * Why “better prompting” is really about better context * How to structure requests so AI gives more useful answers * How to use examples, constraints, and output formats * How to iterate when the first answer is not good enough * How these skills connect to more advanced AI workflows This meetup is for anyone who wants to move beyond basic ChatGPT usage and start getting more practical value out of AI. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
