Swiss PSUG 03/2026
Dear Microsoft Swiss PSUG,
We have planned another exciting event.
**Place & Language:**
Place: Isolutions AG, The Circle 38, 8058 Zürich (Hybrid with Teams)
Language: EN
**Session 1: Automated deployment of Azure SQL VM with PowerShell**
Description:
If you need to deploy (almost fully) automated an Azure SQL VM on a frequent basis, this session may be for you. You can use PowerShell, a language that a lot SQL Server DBAs know; and you can use your knowledge of this language for your advantage, so that you have an infrastructure as code solution to deploy your Azure SQL Server. I am going to show you how to do this, including restoring a SQL Server from a network attached file storage within your VM.
Speaker: [MVP Kay Sauter](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaysauter/ "https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaysauter/")
**Session 2: Migrate from EWS to Microsoft Graph**
Description:
Exchange Web Services (EWS) is deprecated, and Microsoft Graph is the modern API for accessing Microsoft 365 data. In this session, we’ll explore how to transition your scripts and automation from EWS to Microsoft Graph using PowerShell. You’ll learn practical steps, authentication options, and best practices for migrating existing workflows. Whether you manage mailboxes, calendars, or other Exchange Online resources, this session will equip you with the tools and knowledge to make the switch smoothly.
Speaker: [MVP Andres Bohren](https://www.linkedin.com/in/andres-bohren/)
**Agenda:**
17:00 Welcome
17:30 Session 1
18:15 Session 2
19:00 Networking and Beer
20:00 End of Event
Grüner Code, gute Laune – Wie Apps weniger CO₂ pupsen
In den letzten Jahren ist das Bewusstsein für die ökologischen und sozialen Auswirkungen digitaler Technologien stark gewachsen. In dieser Session wollen wir uns wieder auf die grundsätzliche Frage besinnen: Wie bauen wir mobile Apps, die nicht nur gut laufen, sondern auch ein bisschen weniger Planet verbrauchen?
Dieser Vortrag beleuchtet praxisnahe Strategien mit denen sich der ökologische Fußabdruck einer App spürbar senken lässt – von energieeffizientem Code und ressourcenschonendem Design bis hin zu nachhaltiger Infrastrukturwahl und verantwortungsvollem Datenmanagement.
Natürlich wird auch gemessen, nicht nur gehofft: Welche Tools helfen dabei, den CO₂-Impact, den Energieverbrauch oder die Datenlast einer App zu analysieren.
Am Ende des Vortrags haben die Teilnehmenden einen kompakten Überblick über die konkreten Schritte, die sie unternehmen können um ihre App nachhaltiger zu machen und wie sie diesen Fortschritt messen können.

Critical Design Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
Debug the Divide between Product & Engineering
Do you see situations like these in your development team? 🧐
* 📝 Product Manager and devs **talking only through tickets** and not understanding each other's perspectives.
* 🚩 Prioritisation between features and technical debt becoming an **us vs. them** dynamic.
* 📆 Product pushing for lower estimations leading to dev teams padding them deliberately, while **deadlines still get missed.**
Rest assured, you are not the only one! Building a great product requires **great collaboration between product people and engineers**, but so often, that is not the case and the two sides find themselves at odds with one another.
But it does not have to be this way - especially as AI is increasingly blurring the lines between these roles and making the Product and Engineering partnership **the ultimate competitive advantage.**
For our next ProductTank Slovenia, we’re ditching the long slide decks for something much more practical. We will be joined by **Denis Čahuk**, an engineering leadership coach who specializes in the "human" side of tech teams. We’ll be exploring the often-misunderstood dynamics between Product Managers and Engineers, but not just as a typical "sit and listen" event. **We want you to be a part of it!**
**Agenda for the evening:**
17:45 - doors open
18:05 - organizers say hello
18:10 - **Interview with Denis on Broken Team Dynamics**
Common patterns behind broken team dynamics: what to look for and how to nurture improvement. Interview by Marko Jukić (ProductTank, IKEA).
18:40 - **Team Blindspot Check — Got a question?**
We’re hosting several interactive rounds where you in the audience will bring a real challenge to the floor. Denis and the community will help you find answers to your unique situation.
19:30 - Networking and refreshments
Whether you are a seasoned PM, a Lead Dev or just starting out, join us! The best teams aren't the ones without friction, they're the ones who **learned to work through it.** Come with a question, a challenge, or just an open mind.
This time our hosts will be the wonderful people of **Kaldi** 🐐, a Slovenian company building digital products from discovery to scale.
Grab your spot and we'll see you there!

Algorithmic Trading & Crypto
## (Lesson 2)
## What to expect
Project Equilibrium is an in-person introduction to disciplined, rule-based trading automation. This first event is designed to be clear, practical, and approachable no hype, no pressure, and no prior technical background required.
### Why we meet (two-session structure)
This meetup is structured as **two lessons**:
**Lesson 1 — The “Why” (mindset + framework)**
* What Project Equilibrium is (and what it is not)
* Why we focus on process, rules, and execution discipline
* What “24/7 execution” means in practice
* Q&A and open discussion
**Lesson 2 — The “How” (step-by-step setup)**
* A simple walkthrough of the basic tools you need
* Step-by-step guidance to install and prepare the required exchange apps/accounts
* A clear checklist to be ready for future sessions
(You won’t be left alone—everything is explained calmly and in order.)
### What to bring
To make the second lesson smooth, please bring:
* **A smartphone** (for authentication and exchange app setup)
* **A laptop** (for the setup steps and configuration)
If you only have one device, you can still join Lesson 1. The setup lesson is simply easier with both.
### Who this is for
* People curious about algorithmic execution and portfolio discipline
* Beginners who want a structured approach
* Experienced traders who want more consistency and less stress
### Agenda
* Welcome + introductions
* Lesson focus of the day (Why / How)
* Guided walkthrough (where applicable)
* Q&A + next steps
### How to find the group
* Arrive a few minutes early and look for the **Project Equilibrium** group.
* I will be there to welcome attendees if you’re unsure, simply ask the venue staff for the Meetup group name.

**Attendees:**
Don't have a game to show? Not a problem! All are welcomed and invited from all ages and backgrounds. The more we can have to play test our games the better!
**Developers:**
Do you have a game that you would like to get critical feedback on? Would you like an excuse to work on a game with other talented artists, programmers, musicians, designers, and writers? Digital, table-top, non-experienced developers, and the like are welcomed! We'll provide signage for your game to help others learn more about your work. Wifi, outlets, tables, and seats (though standing tables also) are available.
Come to the Prototype and Play workshop to collaborate and meet local game developers for an evening of epic and raw game play fun! Play works-in-progress, show off your own game, work with others to add polish to a game, or even lend your talents to other fellow developers.
Can use South Garage at the Gateway with a $5 voucher on your way out.

Quarterly Goals Reset for Product Professionals
One of the most valuable parts of this community is the opportunity to think out loud with other product professionals. This session is built for exactly that.
As we wrap up the quarter, it’s a great time to pause and reflect. What’s on track? What needs adjustment? Where could a small shift create bigger impact?
Join fellow product professionals for a focused, interactive conversation designed to help you recalibrate for the next quarter. You’ll have the opportunity to share where you are, hear how others are thinking through similar challenges, and gain fresh perspective you can bring back to your team and organization.
We’ll gather at 8:00AM, with discussion starting promptly at 8:15AM.
📍 First Watch - 7227 N High St

Hybrid MI Python: --help - Designing Delightful CLIs
**Opening Talk:**
Luisa will demo a sassy AI-powered plant built in FastAPI using GPT-4o to explore personality, dialogue design, and human-AI interaction.
**Main Talk:**
What about using certain CLIs puts a smile on your face and gets you telling all your friends and colleagues about it?
The Unix philosophy emphasizes simplicity, modularity, and the idea that programs should do one thing well and work together. However, CLI programs are primarily used by humans. Programs that you actually enjoy using can achieve both of these aims of composability and human-centeredness.
This talk explores what makes CLIs great: fast, trusted, and delightful. Through real-world examples from modern tools like uv, cargo, ripgrep, and GitHub CLI, you'll learn the design patterns that separate good CLIs from great ones.
Whether you're building package managers, creating developer tools, or just curious why modern CLIs feel so much better, you'll leave with a practical checklist of techniques to apply to any CLI tool you build.
**Agenda:**
7:00pm - Opening announcements
7:10pm - Opening Topic - Build an AI-powered, Sassy Speaking Plant
7:25pm - Main Topic - --help: Designing Delightful CLIs
7:50pm - Q&A
Making Moves: Small-Group Coaching for Women in Product
## Hey Columbus WIP peeps!
## Are you ready for an event that actually gives you what you asked for??
**\-\-\-\-\-\-**
**A Small-group coaching conversations for women in product navigating growth, leadership, and career decisions.**
**March 10 \| 5:30–8:00 PM**
**Rev1 -- NEW SPACE**
**330 Rush Alley #100**
**Parking Options:**
• **Rev1 at The Peninsula**
• **Starling St. Garage South** – 377 W. Capital St.
• **LAZ Parking (COSI)** – 50 Belle St.
• **LAZ Parking Limited** – 375 W. State St.
• **Veterans Memorial Lot** – 300 W. Broad St.
• **Metered Street Parking**
**What moves are you making?**
A promotion you’re working toward.
A role change you’re considering.
A bigger leadership opportunity.
A conversation that needs to happen.
A decision that’s been sitting in the back of your mind.
For our Q1 Women in Product Columbus event, we’re creating space to actually work through those moments.
**Making Moves** is an evening of focused, facilitated coaching conversations with experienced mentors from our local product community. This isn’t a panel. It’s not passive networking. It’s small-group dialogue designed to be thoughtful, practical, and worth your time.
Here’s how it will work:
• You’ll choose a topic that reflects what you’re navigating right now
• You’ll join a small coaching circle (5–7 participants)
• Each circle is led by a mentor who has lived experience in that area
• We’ll run two rounds so you can go deeper or explore a second conversation
### Coaching Topics:
• Communicating the Value of Your Work (or Team)
• Career Transitions & What’s Next
• Growing Into Leadership
• Staying Relevant as Technology (and AI) Changes
• Getting Alignment and Decisions from Leadership
Our goal is simple: you leave with clearer thinking, practical perspective, and at least one next step you feel confident about.
Space in each circle will be limited to keep conversations meaningful.
If this sounds like the kind of room you’ve been wanting to be in, we’d love to see you on March 10.
