Fast enemying: make meaningful enemies fast! Join us on tonight‘s trail where you will be confronted by a range of controversial opinions to motivate you on through the streets of Zürich to fancy drink stops and eventually awesome pizza. Hare (someone to set the route) is Granny Muff. Come join us! Car bag drop A to B - your bag will be at B along with some of the best Pizza in town, not far from A. **Where**: See location. ‘Hardbrucke’ station - car park of Restaurant Rosso. Look for English speakers wearing running gear. **When:** We'll meet at 6:50 pm to start at 7:00 pm. There's a charge of CHF 5 for participating, which covers all you can drink beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) plus snacks afterwards. **All Welcome:** If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here's what you need to know: • We are a social running/walking group, physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humour is useful. • The aim is to find the '*Beer Stop*' at the end of the '*trail*' and have fun. • 'True Trail' is typically 4-7 km. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk/running), and some over-achieving fast runners will go further. • The '*Hare*', which changes each event (along with location), cleverly lays the trail (typically with flour marks) so that everyone reaches the end at the same time. • There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change. • **After Trail**, we group for \~20-40 minutes for drinks, snacks, and some fun. This '*Circle*' is typically outside, so leave something warm in your bag in winter (and bring a flashlight when it's dark). If you don't want to stand around drinking afterwards, you can head home. We occasionally all go to a restaurant afterwards. **Why bother leaving your warm & dry sofa?** If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing. Exercise is important, and this is probably the least boring way to get it. 'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (*Hashes*) in most major cities. Its humor and 'traditions' can be explored on the internet - **or you can just come along and find out.** *See you there.* We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies 'Virgin Hashers' and visitors from other groups.

Join us for our next GraphQL Meetup on **March 12th** in Zürich! The event will start at **6:00 PM**, with time for networking and the first talk beginning at **6:30 PM**. Location, drinks, and food are generously provided by **Digitec Galaxus**. If you’d like to host one of our future events, please reach out to us at contact@chillicream.com. The event will be **hybrid**. We strongly encourage you to join us in person for the full experience, but we will also provide a livestream for remote attendees. When you sign up, please let us know whether you’ll attend in person or online. **Schedule** **18:00 – 18:30** Welcome & Networking **18:30 – 19:00** **GraphQL Batching: DataLoaders and Batch Resolvers Explained** \- Michael Staib GraphQL servers rely on batching to avoid the N+1 problem, but where should batching actually happen? In this talk, we explore three common approaches: DataLoaders, Batch Resolvers, and breadth-first (BFS) execution. While all aim to reduce redundant data fetching, they solve different problems and live at different layers of your stack. We will examine how each approach works, when to use one over the other, and how modern GraphQL servers implement batching under the hood. Along the way, we will look at practical execution details like field merging and batching across multiple operations. By the end, you will have a clear mental model for GraphQL batching and the trade-offs between DataLoaders, Batch Resolvers, and BFS execution. **19:00 – 19:30** **Semantic Introspection** \- Pascal Senn GraphQL's rich type system makes it an ideal foundation for agents to explore and work with APIs. The SDL provides the structure agents need to reason about capabilities and data. Queries let them retrieve information, while mutations enable them to take action. In practice, however, production GraphQL schemas are often too large to fit in the context window and difficult to understand without additional context. So what if agents could interact with any GraphQL API in a generic, reliable way? In this session, we'll look at the challenges of agentic interactions with GraphQL and how semantic introspection could unlock a new way for agents to navigate the schema and interact with GraphQL APIs more reliably. **19:30 – 20:00** **The Future of GraphQL Federation: Composite Schemas in action** \- Tobias Tengler GraphQL federation enables teams to compose multiple services into a single unified API. But the federation ecosystem is evolving. In this talk, we introduce the GraphQL Composite Schema specification, a new open standard developed under the GraphQL Foundation and co-created by Apollo, The Guild, and ChilliCream. Rather than introducing yet another competing approach, the Composite Schemas specification aims to standardize and modernize GraphQL federation by addressing limitations of earlier federation protocols. We will explore how GraphQL APIs can be federated using Composite Schemas and how queries are planned and executed across services. Along the way, we will demonstrate the first implementation of the specification with Hot Chocolate Fusion 16 and share some of the design decisions behind it. By the end, you will understand what Composite Schemas are, how they improve GraphQL federation, and how to start using them with Fusion.

**INNOtalk #18** presents "**Vom Unternehmens-Pain Point zur Lösung: Abschlussarbeiten mit Business Impact mit Studyond & Kühne+Nagel**" *«Wenn Abschlussarbeiten echten Business Impact schaffen»* Jährlich entstehen rund 95’000 Abschlussarbeiten an Schweizer Hochschulen – jedes Mal mehrere Monate Forschung, Analyse und Lösungsentwicklung. Und doch bleibt der grösste Teil dieses Wissens ungenutzt. Dabei bieten Abschlussarbeiten Unternehmen einen direkten Zugang zu Top-Talenten, aktuellem Fachwissen und neuen Lösungsansätzen. Richtig aufgesetzt, werden sie zu konkreten Innovationsprojekten – ohne klassische Projektbudgets und mit minimalem Vorlauf. Der INNOtalk #18 zeigt diesen Weg anhand eines konkreten Studyond-Projekts mit Kühne + Nagel: \- wie aus einem realen Unternehmens\-Pain Point eine wirksame Abschlussarbeit entsteht – und welche Learnings andere Unternehmen daraus mitnehmen können\. Moderiert wird die Diskussion von Viktoria Mauz, Active Member der swissICT Fachgruppe Innovation. **Worum geht es im Panel konkret?** Anhand eines realen Projekts mit Kühne+Nagel diskutiert das Panel, wie verlässlich daten- und KI-gestützte Prognosen in hochdynamischen Märkten tatsächlich sind. Im Fokus steht die Frage, wo wirtschaftliche Erklärbarkeit endet und wo Prognosemodelle unter realistischen Markt- und Schockbedingungen an ihre Grenzen stossen – und welche Konsequenzen dies für unternehmerische Entscheidungen hat. **Warum sollten Sie an diesem INNOtalk teilnehmen?** * ***Abschlussarbeiten neu denken***: Warum sie ein unterschätzter Innovationshebel sind - und wie daraus echter Business-Impact entsteht. * **Vom Pain Point zur Lösung**: Wie Unternehmen konkrete Herausforderungen in erfolgreiche Studierendenprojekte übersetzen. * **Zusammenarbeit konkret umsetzen**: Wie Themenfindung, Betreuung und Ergebnissicherung zwischen Unternehmen, Hochschulen und Studierenden funktionieren. * ***Innovation skalierbar machen***: Welche Rolle Plattformen wie Studyond dabei spielen, Zufall durch Struktur zu ersetzen. **REFERENT:INNEN & PANEL** **[Dr. Alexandra Allgaier](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandra-allgaier/)** Mitgründerin bei ***[Studyond](https://studyond.com/)*** **[Jonas Bläser](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonasblaehser/)** Global Head of Sea Logistics Business Intelligence bei ***[Kuehne+Nagel](https://www.kuehne-nagel.com/de)*** **[Lino Reye](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lino-reye/)** Masterstudent Business Innovation, ***[Universität St. Gallen (HSG)](https://www.unisg.ch/de/)***[ ](https://www.unisg.ch/de/) **MODERATION** **[Dr. Viktoria Mauz](https://www.linkedin.com/in/viktoria-mauz/)** Active Member der ***[swissICT Fachgruppe Innovation](https://www.swissict.ch/professional-group/innovation/)*** Campus Sales Manager bei ***[Nokia](https://www.nokia.com/)*** **DETAILS** 🗓️ Datum und Uhrzeit: **Donnerstag, 12.

Look for English speakers wearing running gear. **When:** There's a charge of CHF 5 for participating, which covers all you can drink beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) plus snacks afterwards. **All Welcome:** If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here's what you need to know: • We are a social running/walking group, physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humour is useful. • The aim is to find the '*Beer Stop*' at the end of the '*trail*' and have fun. • 'True Trail' is typically 4-7 km.

Open Sharing Circle ✨ Dieser Circle findet auf Deutsch statt. Wir kommen zusammen, um im Moment präsent zu sein und uns so zu zeigen, wie wir wirklich sind. Die Intention ist, in einem sicheren und vertrauensvollen Raum zu teilen — Gedanken, Emotionen, Ziele, Meinungen — alles, was sich für dich im Moment lebendig anfühlt. Niemand muss etwas teilen, und jede*r ist willkommen. ⸻ Worum geht es? • Stärkung von Selbstwahrnehmung & Selbstvertrauen • Persönliches Wachstum • Aufbau tiefer Beziehungen & Vertrauen • Menschen auf einer echten, menschlichen Ebene kennenlernen • Sich frei fühlen, sich authentisch auszudrücken ⸻ Circle-Vereinbarungen Frei & freiwillig Du darfst alles teilen, was du möchtest — und musst nichts teilen. Sprich aus deiner eigenen Erfahrung Teile aus deiner persönlichen Perspektive: deine Erfahrungen, Gedanken, Gefühle und Wahrnehmungen. Der Raumhalter kann dich dabei sanft unterstützen, indem er als Zeichen eine Hand auf die Brust legt. Respekt & Vertraulichkeit Wir begegnen uns respektvoll und ohne zu urteilen. Was im Circle geteilt wird, bleibt im Circle. Rede-Objekt Nur die Person, die das Rede-Objekt hält, spricht. Verständnisfragen sind willkommen. Redezeit & Raum teilen Nimm dir Zeit beim Teilen und lass gleichzeitig Raum für andere. Ratschläge & Unterstützung Sprich für dich selbst und gib Ratschläge nur mit Einverständnis. Bitte frage ausdrücklich nach, wenn du Ratschläge oder Unterstützung möchtest. Trigger & Emotionen Jede*r ist für die eigenen Gefühle und Themen selbst verantwortlich. Starke Emotionen (z. B. Weinen) sind willkommen und werden respektiert. Unterstützung wird nur angeboten, wenn sie gewünscht ist. Eigene Bedürfnisse Kümmere dich selbst um deine Bedürfnisse (WC, Essen usw.) und respektiere den Gruppenraum. Raumhalter Das Organisationsteam wählt Raumhalter, die den Ablauf des Circles unterstützen und darauf achten, dass die Vereinbarungen eingehalten werden. Der Circle kann bei Bedarf sanft unterbrochen werden. Fokusrunde Der Raumhalter kann intuitiv eine kurze Fokusrunde initiieren, wenn es unterstützend wirkt. Mobiltelefone Bitte schalte dein Handy auf lautlos und nutze es nur für Notizen, falls nötig. Zeit Dauer: ca. 3 Stunden. Du kannst jederzeit gehen, idealerweise während der Pausen (etwa alle 45 Minuten). Nach dem Circle gibt es Raum, um zu bleiben, sich zu verbinden oder weiter zu teilen, wenn du magst.

Tierwohl – ein Begriff, der uns alle betrifft, aber oft unterschiedlich verstanden wird. Wie können wir dazu beitragen, dass Tiere respektvoll behandelt werden? Welche Ansätze und innovative Ideen gibt es, um das Leben von Tieren nachhaltig zu verbessern? Welche Rolle spielen wir als Konsument:innen, als Haustierhalter:innen und als Gesellschaft insgesamt? Wir laden dazu ein, bekannte Vorstellungen zu hinterfragen und neue Perspektiven zu entdecken: Wie kann das Wohl von Tieren in der Praxis zeitgemäß, fair und zukunftsorientiert umgesetzt werden? *Fakten & Inspiration* **Tobias Sennhauser** Stadtrat Bern, Tier im Fokus **Sarah Heiligtag** Leitung Hof Narr & TransFARMation Schweiz **Dr. Gieri Bolliger** Rechtsanwalt, Geschäftsführer Stiftung für das Tier im Recht *Moderation* **Christel Maurer & Niko Paech** *Transfer* Diskussion in Gross- und Kleingruppen Mit Anmeldung: www.teilderloesung.ch, Kollekte vor Ort

Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems: * Using running totals * Performing operations in intervals * Identifying data gaps and islands * Performing aggregates without losing detail Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.

He will describe how to install a bog and fill it with many interesting native plants including pollinator and host plants https://columbus.wildones.org/calendar-of-events-and-programs/?wo_event_id=11160

Free at Bexley Library Adventures in Ecological Horticulture with Rebecca McMackin Wednesday, March 18 1:00pm - 2:30pm Gone are the days when a garden could be ornamental alone. We now recognize the impact that our land care practices have on the ecosystems around us, and can see the importance of encouraging biodiversity. Thankfully, we do not need to sacrifice beauty when we invite butterflies and songbirds into our gardens. Rebecca McMackin has cultivated gorgeous landscapes in the toughest environments possible: urban parks, school playgrounds, and the sidewalks of New York City. She will take lessons from her work at Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and decades of research to share how those of us who are fortunate enough to care for land, can do it beautifully and ecologically. Rebecca McMackin is an ecologically obsessed horticulturist and garden designer. She writes, lectures, and teaches on ecological landscape management and pollination ecology, as well as designs the rare public garden. She is currently Lead Horticulturist for the American Horticultural Society, an Associate with the Harvard Divinity School’s Thinking with Plants and Fungi Initiative, and Consulting Arboretum Curator for Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, NY. Rebecca spent a decade as Director of Horticulture of Brooklyn Bridge Park, where she managed 85 acres of diverse parkland organically. Their research into cultivating urban biodiversity and ethical management strategies has influenced thousands of people and entire urban parks systems to adopt similar approaches. She has been published by and featured in the New York Times, Gardens Illustrated, on NPR and PBS. Her garden for the Brooklyn Museum recently won the PPA’s Award of Excellence and her TED Talk has been viewed over a million times. She holds M.Sc. from Columbia University and University of Victoria in landscape design and biology and recently completed the Loeb Fellowship at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. This program is presented in partnership with Rooted in Bexley and generously funded by the Bexley Community Foundation and Bexley Community Author Series Fund.

Join us for the Spring edition of [Nature Loving Fest](https://www.facebook.com/events/895148649812928), a small, thoughtfully curated outdoor gathering celebrating vegan eats, handmade goods, and the beauty of the season. Formerly known as our Vegan Pop-Up, this new chapter reflects what the event has always been — a space rooted in nature, community, and intentional living. Expect around 20 local vendors offering seasonal vegan eats, small-batch bakes, handcrafted goods, and earth-conscious products. Come support local makers, share good food, and celebrate the beginning of a new season with us. Admission is Free.

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00pm on Wednesday, March 25 at Streetlight Guild. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. **SCHEDULE:** 6:45ish - Quick introductions 7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour 8:00 - The End **OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. **BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild! **WHAT SHOULD I BRING?** Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you! **OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:** * **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space! * **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels. * **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay! * **PARKING:** There is free public parking at Streetlight Guild.
