**Claws in the Dark: Bringing DevSecOps to Legacy Hardware with Robotics and Playwright**
What do you do when your software’s "deployment target" is a piece of security hardware embedded in a concrete wall for 20 years? In the world of access control, we don't have the luxury of "move fast and break things"—if the integration fails, the door stays locked.
For decades, hardware development at Primion relied on manual bit-shifting, incomplete specifications, and the "read, write, and pray" method. When the pandemic decentralized our R&D department—scattering 60 developers across Europe—the traditional model of physical bench testing collapsed. We couldn't send a lab to everyone’s home, so we brought the developers to the lab through robotics.
In this session, we deep-dive into how we bridged the physical-digital divide by building a fully automated hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing farm. We will explore:
* The Architecture: How we orchestrate GitLab CI, Azure ephemeral environments, and Playwright to drive physical interactions.
* The Hardware Hack: How a 200 CHF robotic claw replaced manual testing, allowing developers to "touch" hardware from anywhere in the world.
* The Shift-Left Strategy: Moving from "praying for compatibility" to robust integration testing that catches bit-level errors before they ever hit the factory floor.
* Scaling on a Budget: How a single working student scaled our setup to 20+ (and rising) automated test cells.
Join us to see how "claws moving in the dark" turned hardware debugging from a nightmare into a breeze, and learn how to apply DevSecOps principles to the most stubborn, physical environments.

**Beyond Agile: Structuring Organizations for Real Autonomy**
Many organizations invest in agile methods, DevOps, and new technologies, and yet the desired impact on collaboration, accountability, and decision-making often fails to materialize. A key lever for change lies in how organizations are structured.
This talk provides an introduction to Holacracy as a model for radical self-organization and places it within the broader landscape of organizational development. It explains what defines Holacracy, the principles behind it, and the problems it aims to address.
The focus, however, is not solely on the organizational model. The talk also presents concrete tools and practices of self-organization, such as clear role definitions, structured decision-making processes, and transparent governance, that can be applied regardless of the organizational structure in place.

* 2016–2018: Master's degree in Business Management with a specialization in Process Management
**From Bottlenecks to Flow: OKRs, Value Stream Management, and Governance Done Right**
In our session, we'll be delving into the advanced flow engineering practices we've implemented at KPMG CH for our Cloud Platform. These methods have truly transformed how we deliver outcomes—faster, safer, and with an even greater level of satisfaction. During the session, we'll take a closer look at how we leverage OKRs to align teams and drive strategic goals, and how Value Stream Management helps us optimize workflow and eliminate bottlenecks. Our robust Governance model will also be discussed, highlighting how we maintain compliance without sacrificing agility.
Beyond sharing the technical details, we'll reflect on the lessons learned and valuable insights we've gained throughout our journey. Our goal is to provide actionable takeaways that will benefit the DevOps community and inspire organizations seeking to enhance their delivery pipelines and nurture a culture of continuous improvement.

From Coupons to Clicks: Recommender Systems at Migros & Digitec Galaxus
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**Update 25.03.: We are fully booked.**
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
Hi everyone — I'm Michael from **Digitec Galaxus**, where I'm responsible for the integration of recommender systems. Together with my colleagues at Digitec Galaxus' recommendations team, we’ve recently taken over the **Zurich Recommendation Systems** meet-up group and consider reviving it as a regular series.
To kick things off, we're joining forces with the **Digitec Galaxus Product Development Meet-Up** for an evening on recommender systems in practice. We will present two talks:
* **Max Nolte (Migros Genossenschaftsbund)**, amongst other things, on four years of building and operating the engine behind personalized Cumulus coupons — covering data, models, measurement, and the practical realities of running it day to day at a brick-and-mortar retailer.
* **Michael Weiss and Robert Rosenbach (Digitec Galaxus)** on the full recommendation stack in Switzerlands leading e-commerce platform — from the engineering architecture that keeps things fast, scalable, and maintainable, to insights from model training: what to optimize for and which inputs matter the most.
Each presentation will take roughly 30 minutes, including questions, leaving plenty of time for discussion and exchange afterwards. To participate, please sign up for the events in both groups:
* **Digitec Galaxus Product Development Meet-Up** — Primary organizer: This is the sign-up that counts, and you’ll also find a more comprehensive announcement of the talks there ;-) [https://www.meetup.com/digitec-galaxus-zuerich/events/313707996](https://www.meetup.com/digitec-galaxus-zuerich/events/313707996)
* **Zurich Recommendation Systems** (i.e., this event) — to help us gauge interest in running this as a continuous series going forward
Looking forward to seeing you there!
From Coupons to Clicks: Recommender Systems at Migros & Digitec Galaxus
The **Digitec Galaxus Product Development Meet-Up** is back — this time diving into **recommender systems** with two talks bridging data science and engineering practice.
**Talk 1: Insights from Building and Operating a Recommender System for Migros Supermarkets**
*Max Nolte – Data Scientist & Team Lead at Supermarkt IT, Migros-Genossenschafts-Bund*
When you think of a Migros supermarket, you don't usually think about recommender systems. Over the past four years, my team and I have built and operated the engine behind personalized Cumulus coupons and a few other digital touchpoints. I'll share how it works, why we invest in it at a brick‑and‑mortar retailer, and what we've learned, covering data, models, measurement, and the practical realities of running it day to day.
**Talk 2: Recommendations at Digitec Galaxus — From Data Science to Engineering Practice**
*Michael Weiss, Senior Software Engineer & Robert Rosenbach, Senior Data Scientist – Digitec Galaxus*
How do you go from a promising model to a recommender system that is fast, scalable, and maintainable in production? We will walk through the Digitec Galaxus recommendation stack end to end: the engineering architecture that keeps recommendations snappy and reliable, and the data-science side of model training — what to optimize for, which input signals matter, and the trade-offs involved in both.
The two presentations will take roughly a combined hour, leaving plenty of time for discussions, questions, and exchange afterwards over drinks and snacks. Whether you come from a software engineering, data science, product, or any other background — we'd love to have you join us!
Offener Kuschel-Tempel für alle
**mit Elana Andermatt und Andrea Bergamini**
Beim Kuscheln geht es um Körperkontakt zwischen Menschen. Genauer gesagt, um entspannten, nicht erotischen Körperkontakt. Daher ist es beim Kuscheln auch nicht wichtig, ob das Gegenüber männlich, weiblich oder divers ist. Wir kultivieren beim Kuscheln absichtslose, liebevolle und nährende Berührung. Es soll möglich sein, sich fallen lassen zu können und in einem sicheren, gehaltenen Rahmen im eigenen Körper anzukommen.
In verschiedenen sensitiven, achtsamen Begegnungs- und Berührungs-Übungen, bei denen wir uns auf das Berührt-Sein einlassen, werden wir miteinander vertraut. Wir können mit Nähe und Distanz experimentieren und wie es ist, sich an jemanden oder gleich zwei anzukuscheln und dann doch weiterzuziehen oder auch liegenzubleiben und den Körperkontakt zu geniessen.
Die „Kuschel-Energie“, das ist der nährende, entspannte Kontakt zu anderen, ohne dass es in erotische oder sexuelle Bereiche abgleitet. Es geht um achtsame und absichtslose Berührungen und den 100%-igen Respekt deiner individuellen Grenzen! Und wenn wir dann beim Zusammenliegen immer weniger tun, sondern nur noch sind, dann kann sich das schon mal wie ein “Kuschelhimmel” anfühlen …
* Die Sicherheit des klar strukturierten und geleiteten Abends und gleichzeitig die Freiräume für deine individuellen Bedürfnisse und Grenzen.
* Die verschiedenen Ebenen von Kontakt und Verbindung: Berührungen, Worte, der energetische Kontakt (z.B. nur im Augenkontakt) und die Resonanz im Gruppen-Feld.
* Die Stärkung von Selbstkontakt, Eigenwahrnehmung und “Gut-zu-sich-selber-sein”, denn der Kontakt zu anderen kann sich nur in dem Masse vertiefen, wie wir den Kontakt zu uns selber vertiefen können.
* Die Öffnung für “die grösseren Räume”, die uns auf einer spirituellen Ebene nähren und verbinden, so dass Gefühle von Frieden und „Nach-Hause-kommen“ durch die Gemeinschaft UND durch die Verbindung zum Grösseren genährt werden.
* Die ganz persönlichen Momente, in denen du ganz entspannt, offen und echt anderen herzoffenen Menschen begegnest.
\*\* Wenn du JA sagst bei deiner Anmeldung, sagst du JA zu den **klaren Kuschelregeln**:
* Keine Berührung im Intimbereich und an erogenen Zonen. Keine Küsschen oder Hände unter dem TShirt. Erotische Energie wird nicht angefacht. Wir bleiben auf der Ebene des brüderlichen und schwesterlichen kuscheligen Herzens.
* Du kannst dein Tempo jederzeit wählen, wie schnell und nahe du mit anderen sein möchtest oder wie oft du auch Momente für dich alleine brauchst.
* Ein NEIN ist ein NEIN. Achte drauf, dass du deine und andere Grenzen des Wohlbefindens respektierst.

Agile Over Pizza – Lessons Learned & Networking
It all sounded straight forward.
Then the project started...
Join us for an informal evening with fellow Agile practitioners, Scrum Masters, project managers, coaches, and anyone working with change, delivery, or transformation.
We’ll meet at a local pizzeria, have some good food, and talk about the things that usually come up once the theory meets reality — challenges, lessons learned, different approaches, and questions we’re still figuring out.
Nothing formal, just a chance to exchange ideas, meet people from the community, and have interesting conversations.
Because some of the best discussions don’t happen in meeting rooms. They happen in the second floor private room of a pizzeria.
🍕 **The venue:** Da Raffaele brings a slice of Naples to the heart of Zürich's Altstadt. Think 48-hour dough, a 500°C wood-fired oven, and an amazing pizza.
Two minutes from Central, close to HB — easy for everyone coming from across the city or the S-Bahn.
Bitcoin und Landwirtschaft - echte WERTschätzung?
Echte Werte entstehen nicht am Bildschirm, sondern auf dem Feld. Und doch verliert unser Geld Jahr für Jahr an Kaufkraft – weil es einfach nur gedruckt wird. Wenn du dich fragst, wie Werterhalt und Freiheit heute noch möglich sind, ist dieser Abend für dich.
Bitcoin bringt die Freiheit zurück: weg von Banken, Inflation und Kontrolle. Bitcoin macht dich zu deiner eigenen Bank, wie ein digitaler „Tresor“, in dem Wert langfristig gespeichert werden kann, ohne dass jemand ihn einfach „dazudruckt“.
Im Vortrag „Bitcoin & Landwirtschaft – echte WERTschätzung?“ zeigt Christopher Burgert praxisnah:
• Warum unser Geldsystem kaputt ist
• Was Bitcoin wirklich ist - und weshalb es Wert schützen kann
• Wie Bitcoin und Landwirtschaft perfekt zusammenpassen
• Wie man Bitcoin im Laden oder Hofladen akzeptiert - und welche Vorteile das für Landwirte und Kunden bringt
Christopher Burgert ist Freiheits- und Bitcoin-Enthusiast. Schon mit 16 Jahren erkannte er die Dysfunktion unseres Geldsystems und beschäftigt sich seitdem mit Werterhalt und dezentralen Strukturen. Auf dem Land aufgewachsen ist es ihm ein Herzensanliegen die dezentralen Strukturen vor Ort zu unterstützen und über Freiheit und echten Wert aufzuklären.

What If Your AI Could Be a Team? - Chad Green
**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
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.
