Snow Weekend 2026
The annual ICW Snow Weekend takes place in Unterwasser / Chäserrugg. Unterwasser is a village in Toggenburg in Canton St. Gallen.
https://www.chaeserrugg.ch/en
It is about 1 hour and 40 minutes with public transport from Winterthur to the Talstation Unterwasser.
From the valley station Unterwasser we can take the new funicular to Chäserrugg.
At Chäserrugg we can do all sorts of snow based activities.
As always it is a very relaxed weekend, feel free to come along for as much of the weekend as you want and do whatever you want.
How it is going to work:
Suzanne and Catherine have booked a room in Hotel Sternen in Unterwasser https://www.sternen.biz/en/home-en/ and will be there from about 5:00 pm Friday evening.
There are three fixed points you need to know about for the rest of the weekend:
On Saturday morning we will all meet at 10:30 at hotel Sternen reception.
After we meet, people will be free to split up and do whatever activities they want. **Please book your hire gear, lessons, ski tickets yourself.**
On Saturday evening we will book a table at the restaurant in the hotel Sternen for 19:00h for anyone who wants to join us.
On Sunday morning we will meet again at hotel Sternen.
What you need to do, if you want to join us.
1 - Decide when you are coming, just for a day or for the whole weekend, or whatever you want.
2 - Accept the meetup invite and write a comment or send a message to Suzanne or Catherine saying when you are coming. They will book a table for everyone for dinner for Saturday night, so please let Suzanne or Catherine know if you do **NOT** want to join us for that.
3 - Book your hotel. The hotel Sternen in Unterwasser is central, looks the biggest and at time of writing has rooms free.
4 - Decide on your travel arrangements.
You can come by public transport or drive to Unterwasser.
That's it!
One thing to remember, we are not teachers or guides. This trip will be a group of friends going away for the weekend, so we and the club assume no responsibility for you. That said, Swiss mountain resorts are well organised, with good signs and well cleared trails.
If you haven't been on this sort of weekend before, feel free to talk to Suzanne or Catherine about it.

Intro to GitHub Copilot: Your AI Pair Programmer - Chris Steele
**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
**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus.
In this session, we’ll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. We’ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks.
Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool.
Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday.

Azure CBUS January: Learn Infrastructure-as-Code Through Minecraft
## Learn Infrastructure-as-Code (the FUN Way) — Through Minecraft 🎮☁️
**Joint Meetup: Azure CBUS × Columbus HashiCorp User Group**
What if learning Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code didn’t feel like a whitepaper… but more like a game?
Join us for a joint Azure CBUS and Columbus HashiCorp User Group meetup where **Mark Tinderholt** \(Principal Architect\, Microsoft Azure \| HashiCorp Ambassador \| “The Azure Terraformer”\) shows how **Minecraft** can be used as a surprisingly powerful way to understand real-world Infrastructure-as-Code concepts.
In this session, Mark will demonstrate how Terraform and Azure can be used to provision, configure, and manage Minecraft servers—while teaching the same patterns you’d use for production cloud infrastructure.
### What we’ll cover
* Infrastructure-as-Code fundamentals using **Terraform**
* Provisioning real infrastructure on **Azure**
* Applying **IaC best practices** (immutability, repeatability, versioning)
* How playful environments like Minecraft make complex concepts *click*
* Why learning through experimentation beats click-ops every time
### Who should attend
* Developers, platform engineers, and cloud engineers
* Terraform users (new or experienced)
* Anyone curious about Infrastructure-as-Code but tired of boring examples
* Minecraft fans who want to see it used in a totally unexpected way
No prior Minecraft experience required—just curiosity and a willingness to learn infrastructure the fun way.
Come for the blocks, stay for the Terraform. 🧱➡️📐
