Der König ist tot, es lebe der König. So könnte man das neue Projekt der **Green Software Foundation** umschreiben. Nach Jahren der Entwicklung bei *Amadeus* (führender Anbieter von IT-Lösungen für die Tourismusbranche) wurde das Projekt in Teilen open sourced und der GSF übergeben. Ziel von **Carmen** (Carbon Measurement Engine) ist es alle Emissionen über eine Vielzahl von Anwendungen zu erfassen. Somit tritt es faktisch die Nachfolge von „*Cloud Carbon Footprint*“ an und nutzt auch dessen Kennzahlen. Im Kern setzt Carmen auf das Impact Framework auf und bringt es in die reale Anwendung. Zu Gast haben wir **Florent Morel**, der Kopf hinter Carmen. Er wird uns mit einem Deep Dive in das Tooling einführen und zeigt uns, wie wir Carmen konkret einsetzen können.

We all know that product work isn’t just about developing features. It’s about making product work sustainable - from keeping discovery alive over time to getting products launched without wasting too much energy on alignment, stakeholder management, and organisational friction. That’s often where product work starts to slip: discovery isn’t maintained, launches stall, and too much effort goes into managing the system instead of building the product. Join the **Product Academy** community at Westpark Zurich for an evening of raw insights, real-world failures, and proven frameworks from two industry experts. **Who is this for?** * The Strategist: PMs who want to use Opportunity Solution Trees (OST) to build the right thing faster. * The Change-Maker: PMs in large corporates are tired of "stalled" launches and stakeholder misalignment. * The Lifelong Learner: Anyone looking to network with the Zurich product community. **Limited spots available**. **The Lineup:** **Vivienne Clement (Product Owner @ Swiss Post)** * Talk: What happens when the Product is ready, but the Organisation isn't? * The Vibe: A deep dive into the "political" side of PMing. Learn how to manage stakeholder buy-in and overcome hidden resistance when **launching AI and B2B products** in large corporations. **John Huertas (Product Manager @ Swiss Re)** * Talk: Making Continuous Discovery & Opportunity Solution Trees Sustainable. * The Vibe: Move beyond theory. John shares lessons from a multi-year journey of experimentation to show how teams can bring more discipline to discovery, improve prioritisation, and make product decisions with greater confidence. **The details:** * 📅 When: May 7, 2026 * ⏰ Time: 18:30 CET * 📍 Where: Westpark Zurich Grab your seat and let’s level up your product game together!

Die CSS hat 2024 einen weiteren grossen Schritt auf ihrer Reise zur Business Agilität unternommen: Mit der Einführung von SAFe, sechs Agile Release Trains, einem agilen Portfolio sowie der Anpassung von Organisation, Budget und Strategie. Obwohl Scrum bereits seit 2014 in der Softwareentwicklung verankert ist, bedeutete dieser Wandel einen tiefgreifenden organisatorischen und kulturellen Schritt. In dieser Session berichtet ein Mitglied des Transformationsteams, was in den letzten zwei Jahren im agilen Umfeld der CSS mit rund 500 Mitarbeitenden geschehen ist. Themen wie agile Führung, Zusammenspiel zwischen Team, ART und Portfolio, Kommunikation, Kulturwandel und Mindset-Change stehen dabei im Mittelpunkt. Lass dich auf die Reise mitnehmen — welche Herausforderungen haben wir gemeistert, wo sind wir gescheitert und welche Themen uns weiterhin beschäftigen. Tauche mit Martin Ineichen in diese spannende Transformation ein. Ich freue mich auf viele Interessierte, einen offenen Austausch, viele Fragen und eine lebendige Diskussionen. ✱✱✱ Martin Ineichen, ist seit 12 Jahren im agilen Umfeld bei der CSS unterwegs.

Immer mit dem Ziel, ein besseres Arbeiten zu ermöglichen. Martin ist Mitorganisator des Agile Breakfast Luzern. In seiner Freizeit ist er ein Familienmensch mit einem grünen Daumen.

**ECSTATIC DANCE ZÜRICH · Sound Healing** **Theme: “TRIBAL HEARTBEAT”** One rhythm, one tribe Simple, powerful, and perfectly matches African rhythms. Feel the rhythm. Return to the roots. Move as one. Tribal Heartbeat is a powerful ecstatic dance journey inspired by African rhythms, primal movement, and the deep intelligence of the body. This is not just a dance — it’s a remembering. Through grounding beats, tribal grooves, and pulsating drums, we reconnect with something ancient within us. The part that knows how to move without thinking. The part that feels, expresses, and belongs. We begin together in a circle, awakening the body through rhythm, breath, and simple group connection. From there, the music will guide us into a full ecstatic journey — from grounding and activation into wild expression, and finally into a deep, collective landing. Expect: • strong, earthy beats • tribal and African-inspired rhythms • playful group connection • freedom of expression • a safe, alcohol-free space No choreography. No expectations. Just your body, the rhythm, and the tribe. Come as you are. Leave grounded, energized, and deeply connected. **🎟️ Tickets at the door: Late Bird price plus an additional 10 CHF (Cash or TWINT)** ✨ FIRST TIME FREE — limited tickets available.

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!

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Here is the secret of being positive and free: Thinking positively is not enough. You also have to get rid of the negative thinking. Your mind is like a garden. You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden. A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed. You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there. So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out! The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics & Scientology life improvement center.
