We're thrilled to invite you to our next meetup, a joint event with the **[Zurich Apache Kafka®](https://www.meetup.com/zurich-apache-kafka-meetup-by-confluent/)** community 💥 Many thanks to our great friends at **[Sunrise](https://www.sunrise.ch/)**, who have kindly offered to host us at their office 🫶 🗓️ March 9, 2026 📍[Sunrise](https://www.sunrise.ch/): Ambassador House\, Thurgauerstrasse 101B\, 8152 Glattpark \(Opfikon\) \| [https://maps.app.goo.gl/2pLV5duBYj3vwdDt5](https://maps.app.goo.gl/2pLV5duBYj3vwdDt5) St. Gallen meeting room 📕 **Agenda** **18:00 - 18:30:** Open doors **18:30 - 18:40:** Meetup introduction & some words from the host **18:40 - 19:20:** Talk 1 **19:20 - 19:45:** Talk 2 **20:00 - 21:00:** Pizzas & Networking **21:00 - 21:10:** Event and venue closure 1️⃣ **"Supercharging Grafana with Community Plugins"** by **[Luis Colman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/luiscolman/)** (Solutions Engineer at **[Grafana Labs](https://grafana.com/)**), **[Imma Valls](https://www.linkedin.com/in/imma-valls/)** (Staff Developer Advocate at **[Grafana Labs](https://grafana.com/)).** Grafana is powerful on its own, but its true potential lies in its vibrant community of plugin developers. In this talk, we'll dive into how community plugins extend Grafana's core functionality, enabling you to connect to a broader range of data sources and visualize your data in new ways. We'll introduce the **[Kafka Data Source plugin](https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/hamedkarbasi93-kafka-datasource/)** as a practical example, demonstrating how it enables you to query and visualize Kafka topic data directly in your dashboards, without requiring intermediate storage or external services. 2️⃣ **"From Stream to Table: Building Kafka-to-Iceberg Pipelines"**, by **[Will Martin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/william-p-martin/)** is the EMEA Evangelist at **[Dremio](https://www.dremio.com/)**. While Kafka excels at streaming data, the real challenge lies in making that data analytically useful without sacrificing consistency or performance. This talk explores why Apache Iceberg has emerged as the ideal streaming destination, offering ACID transactions, schema evolution, and time travel capabilities that traditional data lakes can't match. Learn about some foundational tools that enable streaming pipelines and why they all converge on this next-generation table format built for flexibility and scalability. We are looking forward to seeing you 🎉!

Every week since 2022, we have featured nude model poses, both in short and long poses. At the beginning, we have short poses (2, 3, 5, 15 minutes), then two 30-minute sessions. Between blocks, we have 5-10-minute breaks to refresh and socialize with tea and cookies. Normally, we have an interesting international group of artists, consisting of around 8-10 people, who come regularly and do not typically write about their attendance on Meetup. **Important!** Please book your ticket at Meetup by PayPal or [here](https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/art-exhibitions/other-art-events/life-drawing-aktzeichnen-in-zuerich-kreiss-4-7430579201755842665.html) On our Instagram page, you can see drawings from our artists from previous events: [here](https://eventfrog.ch/en/cockpitv3/events/7365649101847824543/overview) Please bring your favorite drawing material.

Hare (someone to set the route) is Granny Muff. Come join us! Car bag drop A to B - your bag will be at B along with some of the best Pizza in town, not far from A. **Where**: See location. ‘Hard’bridge station - car park of Restaurant Rosso. Look for English speakers wearing running gear. **When:** We'll meet at 6:50 pm to start at 7:00 pm. There's a charge of CHF 5 for participating, which covers all you can drink beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) plus snacks afterwards. **All Welcome:** If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here's what you need to know: • We are a social running/walking group, physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humour is useful. • The aim is to find the '*Beer Stop*' at the end of the '*trail*' and have fun. • 'True Trail' is typically 4-7 km. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk/running), and some over-achieving fast runners will go further. • The '*Hare*', which changes each event (along with location), cleverly lays the trail (typically with flour marks) so that everyone reaches the end at the same time. • There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change. • **After Trail**, we group for \~20-40 minutes for drinks, snacks, and some fun. This '*Circle*' is typically outside, so leave something warm in your bag in winter (and bring a flashlight when it's dark). If you don't want to stand around drinking afterwards, you can head home. We occasionally all go to a restaurant afterwards. **Why bother leaving your warm & dry sofa?** If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing. Exercise is important, and this is probably the least boring way to get it. 'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (*Hashes*) in most major cities. Its humor and 'traditions' can be explored on the internet - **or you can just come along and find out.** *See you there.* We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies 'Virgin Hashers' and visitors from other groups.

Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems: * Using running totals * Performing operations in intervals * Identifying data gaps and islands * Performing aggregates without losing detail Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.
