Liebe Zürcher WordPress Community Wir freuen uns, euch im Juni bei Liip zu treffen. Unser Programm: **19:00 - 19:30 Erster Vortrag** **WordPress an der Hochschule – Herausforderungen einer offenen Wissensplattform- Cinzia Gabellini** Die Hochschule Luzern betreibt eine WordPress‑Plattform mit dem Anspruch, Dozierenden und Studierenden eine offene Wissensplattform bereitzustellen. Sie ermöglicht einen niedrigschwelligen Zugang zu einem eigenen digitalen Raum, um Wissen sichtbar zu machen und zu teilen. Grundlage dafür ist die Multisite‑Funktion von WordPress: Sie erlaubt individuelle Blogs, erlaubt mehrere Autor:innen und unterstützt die digitale Selbstbestimmung der Nutzer:innen. Im Unterschied zu klassischen Lernmanagement‑Systemen, die zentral gesteuert und auf geschlossene Nutzerkreise ausgerichtet sind, setzt unsere WordPress‑Plattform auf Offenheit und Eigenverantwortung. Dieser Ansatz bringt besondere Herausforderungen in der Verwaltung von Nutzenden und Blogs mit sich. In der Präsentation stelle ich das Konzept der Blog-Plattform vor und zeige, wie wir diesen Herausforderungen in der Praxis begegnen. Du erfährst dabei, * wie der User Lifecycle zweckvoll umgesetzt werden kann, * nach welchen Kriterien und wie Blogs weitergeführt oder archiviert werden, und * wie die Sichtbarkeit von Blogs je nach Nutzungskontext eingestellt werden kann. Über Cinzia Gabellini [Cinzia Gabellini](https://www.linkedin.com/in/cinzia-gabellini/) ist Spezialistin für digitale Lehre an der Hochschule Luzern. Mit ihrer Expertise in E-Learning und Erwachsenenbildung unterstützt sie Dozierende bei der Umsetzung nachhaltiger digitaler Lernszenarien sowie bei der Weiterentwicklung ihrer didaktischen Ansätze. Zudem betreut sie die «WordPress-Plattform Lehre» als Teil der Lehr- und Lerninfrastruktur. **19:30 - 20:00 Zweiter Vortrag:** **WordPress und React: Die Kombination in der Praxis - und was dabei gelernt wurde** Die Kombination aus WordPress und React mag technisch, aufwendig und für manche unmöglich klingen. Manchmal ist sie aber die eleganteste Lösung im Raum. Noemi Frischknecht, UX Designerin und Entwicklerin teilt in diesem Vortrag ihre Erfahrung mit genau dieser Kombination. Anhand echter Projektbeispiele zeigt sie, wann und warum hybride Setups entstanden sind, welche Vor- und Nachteile sie mitbringen, wo Reibung entstehen kann und weshalb die Kombination für sie als UX Designerin & Entwicklerin persönlich besonders wertvoll ist. Noemi ist nicht nur in der Entwicklung zu Hause und freut sich, diese Thematik für alle zugänglich zu machen. Der Vortrag richtet sich darum wirklich an alle, die in irgendeiner Form mit WordPress-Projekten zu tun haben. Technisches Vorwissen zu React ist nicht nötig - technisches Interesse erhofft sie sich durch den Vortrag zu wecken. Tips wohin mit diesem Interesse sind in der Teilnahme inbegriffen. Verbinde dich mit [Noemi Frischknecht](https://www.linkedin.com/in/noemi-frischknecht/) **20:00 - 21:00 Networking** Wir freuen uns auf euch! \-\-\- **Über WordPress Zürich** Das Meetup wird organsiert von: [Sandra Deppner](https://ch.linkedin.com/in/sandra-depner/en), [Jasmine Carballo](https://www.future-advice.ch/), [Nick Weisser](https://www.openstream.ch/), [Martin Sauter](https://www.metoki.ch/angebot/wordpress-support/) und [Corina Burri](https://corinaburri.com/de/wordpress-seo-beratung/).

Circling ist eine Einladung, dir selbst und anderen ehrlicher, offener und präsenter zu begegnen. In einem sicheren und respektvollen Gruppenrahmen erforschen wir, was sichtbar wird, wenn wir langsamer werden, tiefer zuhören und aus dem sprechen, was im Moment wirklich da ist. Statt bei oberflächlichen Gesprächen zu bleiben, üben wir eine Form von Präsenz und Verbindung, durch die innere Muster, Emotionen, Erwartungen und Beziehungsdynamiken bewusster werden können. Im Kern ist Transformational Connection / Circling eine Form von Meditation in Beziehung: präsent mit dir selbst sein und gleichzeitig in echtem Kontakt mit anderen. Durch ehrliche und empathische Kommunikation können Teilnehmende beginnen, die inneren Haltungen, Schutzstrategien und unbewussten Annahmen wahrzunehmen, die sie in Begegnungen mitbringen. Viele dieser Muster entstehen durch frühe Kindheitserfahrungen mit wichtigen Bezugspersonen sowie durch spätere Interaktionen in unserem sozialen und kulturellen Umfeld. Positive Erfahrungen können gesunde innere Überzeugungen stärken, während schwierige Erlebnisse emotionale Spuren hinterlassen und zu negativen inneren Grundannahmen führen können — zum Beispiel: „Ich bin nicht liebenswert“, „Ich bin zu viel“ oder „Ich muss mich schützen“. C. G. Jung beschrieb solche verborgenen Anteile der Psyche als Schattenaspekte — innere Anteile, die unserem bewussten Zugriff oft entzogen sind und dennoch unser Verhalten, unsere Beziehungen und unsere Persönlichkeit mitprägen. Kurz gesagt: In vieler Hinsicht kennen wir uns selbst nicht so gut, wie wir vielleicht glauben. Diese Gruppe schafft einen Raum, in dem unbewusste Überzeugungen, Prägungen und Beziehungsmuster behutsam ins Bewusstsein kommen können — nicht nur durch Analyse, sondern durch direkte emotionale Erfahrung, Präsenz und Verbindung mit anderen. ## **Haltung und Methodik** In der Gruppe wird eine innere Haltung von Offenheit und Empfänglichkeit gegenüber allen körperlichen und emotionalen Erfahrungen gefördert, die im Kontakt entstehen. Besonders wichtig ist dabei die Haltung des „Nicht-Wissens“: eine neugierige und nicht-wertende Erforschung dessen, was im Moment auftaucht — ohne sofort zu interpretieren, zu bewerten oder einzuordnen. Die Arbeit basiert auf der Gruppenpraxis des Circling / Transformational Connection, die Präsenz, Authentizität und echte Begegnung im Hier und Jetzt betont. Ergänzend fliessen Elemente der interaktionellen Gruppentherapie nach Irvin D. Yalom ein. Darüber hinaus werden Aspekte zeitgenössischer Spiritualität integriert, besonders mit Blick auf Verbundenheit, Einheit und Ganzheit. Mit der Zeit kann dieser Prozess Wahrnehmung, Präsenz, emotionale Ehrlichkeit und die Fähigkeit stärken, tiefere und bedeutungsvollere Beziehungen zu gestalten — zu dir selbst, zu anderen und zum Leben. Du brauchst keine Vorerfahrung. Eine Bereitschaft, präsent, neugierig und offen zu sein, genügt. **Hinweis:** Dies ist ein Raum für persönliche Entwicklung, Selbsterfahrung und bewusste Verbindung. Er ersetzt keine Psychotherapie oder medizinische Behandlung. Bitte komme mit Selbstverantwortung und Respekt für deine eigenen Grenzen sowie die Grenzen der anderen Teilnehmenden.

**Live stream and very limited on-site seats available.** **Please use the registration page to join:** **[REGISTRATION PAGE](https://content.software-leader.com/juval-talk-june-2026)** **Topic: Architect in the Age of AI** **In short:** AI code generation presents businesses with a critical challenge: how to benefit from AI code generation, while containing the cost of AI. By default, AI generates very complex code that is not reusable, and it lacks design integrity. The cost of ownership of this code could exceed by multiples the cost of human-generated code. Instead of gains, developers experience strains trying to understand what the AI has generated. Companies now transition from AI euphoria to AI spaghetti. Throttling back token spending does not address the underlying complexity. In this dense session Juval explains what AI is doing wrong, and what businesses are doing wrong trying to leverage AI. Juval will then discuss the crucial role of the architect in unleashing the productivity gains of AI, using the best practices of software engineering. You will see how to future-proof your career, how to avoid being a casualty of AI, and how to be indispensable to your business, saving it from out of-control AI spending and complexity. Juval Löwy is the founder of IDesign and a master software architect. Over the past 20 years, Juval has led the industry with some of his ideas such as microservices – serving as the foundation of software design and development. Juval has mentored thousands of architects across the globe, sharing his insights, techniques, and breakthroughs, and has helped hundreds of companies meet their commitments. Juval participated in the Microsoft internal strategic design reviews and is a frequent speaker at major international software development conferences. He is the author of several bestsellers, his latest book being Righting Software. **Host:** This free lecture is hosted by [Software Leader](https://www.software-leader.com).

**Cloud Native Night Munich** AI agents are rapidly evolving from simple assistants into autonomous systems capable of reasoning, maintaining context, and interacting with complex environments. In this meetup, we’ll explore two practical applications of modern agentic AI in software engineering. The first talk dives into building stateful AI agents that work with real-time data, covering the architectural patterns and challenges behind creating responsive, context-aware systems. The second talk showcases how agentic AI can be applied to understanding and analysing complex legacy applications — helping uncover program flows, dependencies, and hidden system knowledge that would otherwise take countless hours to explore manually. Whether you’re building AI-powered applications, modernising enterprise systems, or simply curious about the future of intelligent software, this meetup offers hands-on insights into how AI agents are transforming the way we interact with technology THIS MEETUP WILL BE HYBRID. **\|** Zoom Link will be available shortly before the meetup \*\*\* AGENDA \*\*\* * 6\.30 PM \| Doors open\. Grab some snacks & drinks\. * 7\.00 PM \| Welcome & Intro – **Start of hybrid meetup** * 7\.15 PM \| **Building Stateful AI Agents with Real-Time Data**, Gregor Bauer (VP Customer Engineering at CrateDB) * \~8:15 PM \| **Hosty - The next level with Agentic AI,** Martin Binder (Lead IT Consultant at QAware) * afterwards: More snacks & drinks, and a lot of time for networking with all attendees and speakers. \*\*\* ABSTRACTS \*\*\* **Building Stateful AI Agents with Real-Time Data**, Gregor Bauer (VP Customer Engineering at CrateDB) Most AI demos are stateless. Real systems are not. Modern AI applications increasingly depend on continuously changing operational data: events, metrics, logs, transactions, sensor streams, and user activity. This creates a new architectural challenge: how do we build AI agents that can reason over live data while remaining scalable and observable ? This talk explores the architecture of stateful AI systems and agentic applications. We will cover: * streaming-first AI architectures * real-time context enrichment * combining vector search with structured queries * memory layers for AI agents * latency and scalability considerations * operational lessons from large-scale data platforms The session provides practical guidance for engineers designing production-ready AI platforms. **Hosty - The next level with Agentic AI,** Martin Binder (Lead IT Consultant at QAware) To migrate legacy systems, you need to understand these IT dinosaurs, at least partially. So code analysis up to a certain level is unavoidable. What used to take months, sometimes years without LLMs is now doable in a few days with Gemini and friends. And yet: you still have to drive the analysis yourself, stitch the LLM's partial results into a coherent picture and fight the context window. With old source files thousands of lines long, that part really hurt. Agentic AIs like Claude Code are not just another AI feature. They change how you approach unfamiliar systems — fast, and without the headaches that LLM chat workflows used to come with. Teaser: an analysis that took us a few days under "yay!" cheers is now done in minutes. \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Please comply with our [Code of Conduct](https://www.greenmanifesto.de/en/code-of-conduct).

*«The creative and UX industry is changing fast. Roles are shifting, tools are evolving, expectations are rising, and many people are asking what their skills will be worth in the future.»* **This evening is not a classic Last Thursday Talk.** UX Schweiz and Syndicom invite the community to **a workshop and open exchange** for people working in UX, design, research, strategy, communication and related creative fields. The focus is especially on people at the beginning of their careers, people in transition, and everyone currently asking: **What does the future of our work actually look like?** We want to create a space for hopes, concerns, changing roles, useful skills, new tools, AI, career paths and possible forms of support within the community. Uncertainty is allowed, but we do not want to stay stuck in fear. The evening starts with a short input by **[Pascal Geronimi](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pascal-geronimi-5112b324/).** After that, we will work in small groups: collecting thoughts, clustering topics, discussing what matters most, and sharing key insights. Together, we want to explore: * What currently gives us hope? * What feels uncertain or worrying? * How are roles, tools and expectations changing? * Which skills and mindsets might become more important? * What kind of support could UX Schweiz, Syndicom or the wider community offer? **This is an experimental format.** Because this is a workshop-style event, **places are limited**. Please only register if you are quite sure you can attend. If your plans change, please cancel your RSVP so someone else can join. **Format** * Short intro input * Small-group exchange * Shared takeaways in the plenum * Optional informal drinks afterwards nearby **A small question before you come** You do not need to prepare anything. But take a moment to think about this: ***When you think about the future of your work: what gives you hope, and what makes you unsure?*** **Practical information** • The event will be held in English. • The number of participants is limited. • Please arrive a few minutes early so we can start on time.

Grab a drink or some food and get to know each other. This is our first event and we can take it slow. I’d love to meet everyone and hear if there’s anything you like to get out of the group. Looking forward to meeting you all!

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
