The monthly Zen meditation retreat at Lambda Zen Temple is a three day meditation retreat, where we reexamine the true self through a very simple hermitagelike life-style. The retreat starts monthly every third Friday at 10am (10:00) and ends Sunday at 3pm (15:00). Everyone concentrates her consciousness on the given task while working. To work is to cleanse the mind. Work is an opportunity to meditate and become awakened to the real self. A small event in daily life can become an important moment of awareness for one who is in great darkness. Only through your determined and thorough examination of body and mind, worth and harmony can be formed. *SCHEDULE* Friday 10:00 Sitting Meditation 12:30: Lunch, then informal tea 14:00 Module 18:30 Dinner 19:15 Sitting Meditation 23:00 Lights Out Saturday 4:00 Sitting Meditation 5:45 Breakfast 6:30 Walking Meditation, full day hike ~18:00 Dinner 1h Break ~19:15 Sitting Meditation 22:00 Lights Out Sunday 6:30 Sitting Meditation 8:00 Breakfast Working Meditation Lunch 30min Break Cleanup and Packing 14:00 Sitting Meditation 15:00 End of retreat Module (not freely selectable): Meditation, Working, Cooking, Hiking, Gardening, etc. The schedule can vary. *Etiquette* We eat what will be served and are grateful.

It's time for a new NixOS release, **26.05 Yarara**! 🎉 For a month before release, NixOS is in ZERO Hydra Failures stage. During this time, the community tries to fix all of the Hydra build failures in *Nixpkgs*. You can read more about the process [here](https://github.com/NixOS/release-wiki/blob/master/src/Zero-Hydra-Failures.md). The 26.05 release schedule will become available soon. **Who is this event for?** Anyone who's interested in Nix! Among the attendees you'll find core Nix contributors, full-on Nix beginners, and everything in between. This event is as much about the upcoming release as it is about engaging with the *local Nix and functional programming community*. It's a great opportunity to get your feet wet while helping us stabilise the next release. [Check out our user group website](https://zurich.nix.ug) for more information about the venue and our agenda! **Do I need to bring anything?** A *laptop* would be useful. Food, drinks, coffee, tea, swag, desks, and friendly mentors are all provided. Bring as many *friends* as you can! 🙂 Make sure they **RSVP**, so we know how much food and swag to get. **Sounds great! Are there other such events?** We organise ZHF every 6 months and we organise smaller Nix meetups irregularly. NixCon 2025 also took place here in Rapperswil! Stay on top of these things by joining the Nix Zürich group or by visiting [our website](https://zurich.nix.ug/) from time to time. **Hackathon** The main objective of the hackathon is to approach Zero Hydra Failures for the upcoming NixOS release by fixing bugs and build errors in Nixpkgs and NixOS. A hackathon is also a great opportunity to address issues that are otherwise hard to fix or get going with. Therefore everyone can pitch projects they want to work on at the venue, and ask for assistance or schedule time to discuss their ideas or code.

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!
