Eine unerwartete Reise – Der agile Weg der Suva
[🎟️ swissICT hat noch ein paar freie Plätze für diesen Event](https://www.swissict.ch/event/agile-breakfast-zuerich-eine-unerwartete-reise-der-agile-weg-der-suva/)
Aus der Erfahrung von 30 agilen Planungsintervallen blicken Jens und Flavio mit uns zurück und voraus. Ein ehrlicher Blick auf ihre agile Reise mit Stolpersteinen und überwundenen Hindernissen, und ein Blick voraus: Welche Schritte folgen als Nächstes, um unsere Organisation weiterzuentwickeln? Die beiden Release-Train-Engineers beleuchten, wie die Kultur der Suva die Transformation unterstützt, wie die Transformation auf die Kultur wirkt – und welche Schwierigkeiten bei Veränderung auftauchen. Dabei versprechen sie spannende Einblicke in Themen wie Flow-Metriken, die Arbeit mit Priorisierung auf allen Ebenen sowie den Umgang mit organisatorischer Veränderung.

Bitcoin Meetup Zürich – Spezial: Get to know Jan Brzezek (BAS)
*This event is local and held in German and English*
**Our casual Bitcoin Zurich Meetup is for newcomers and veterans alike.**
\*\* English\*\*
We'll meet as usual to talk together about Bitcoin and the world. **This time, we're happy to welcome Jan Brzezek**, the new chairman of the Bitcoin Association Switzerland, either at the table or among the crowd. He'll tell us in casual conversation why being a member of Switzerland's oldest Bitcoin association is a great thing for everyone, while we can ask why the membership fee can't be paid with Lightning. Engaging conversations are guaranteed. We're excited to hear about Jan's plans to advance the BAS and we're very happy to welcome him to our meetup.
--> [Link to get member of BAS](https://www.bitcoinassociation.ch/private)
\*\* Deutsch\*\*
Wir treffen uns wie gewohnt, um gemeinsam über Bitcoin und die Welt zu sprechen. **Dieses Mal begrüssen wir Jan Brzezek**, den neuen Vorsitzenden der Bitcoin Association Switzerland, bei uns – entweder am Tisch oder mitten im Publikum. Er wird uns im lockeren Austausch erzählen, weshalb die Mitgliedschaft in der ältesten Bitcoin-Vereinigung der Schweiz für alle eine grossartige Sache ist, während wir die Gelegenheit haben zu fragen, weshalb der Mitgliederbeitrag nicht mit Lightning bezahlt werden kann. Spannende Gespräche sind garantiert. Wir sind gespannt, welche Pläne Jan hat um die BAS voranzubringen und freuen uns sehr, ihn an unserem Meetup willkommen zu heissen.

AWS with Anat
An AWS session with Anat.
Let's create some beautiful portraits.
All you need is a camera with a portrait lens.
We will learn how to use a flash meter in this session. But this will only be a small part of the session.
Please understand that we have both a model and studio to pay for. This means that we might ask you to still pay if you cancel and we don't get full attendance.
The fee is 100 chf.
Let's meet for some conversation in German.
As it is sometimes difficult in Switzerland to practice high german, in 2010 we decided to organize a conversation group that is free to everyone who wants to practice german and socialize.

Coders Monthly - Zürich
Coders Monthly is a regular gathering of programmers in Zurich interested in honing their craft.
It takes place in Zuerich at Cafe Bar Pluesch (https://cafe-pluesch.ch) on the first Thursday of every month.
For the members list, some pics and more, see the Coders Only (https://codersonly.org/events/coders-monthly) site.
Hope to see you there!
PS: Please join our Discord https://discord.gg/jWUZsKQvrz for any last minute announcements.
Girl Coders Coding Together (event for women and gender minority coders)
This meetup is for women and gender minority programmers in Zurich.
As the title says, we meet to code. You can actually code together with someone or just enjoy the company of people coding next to you. You can for example bring your hobby project, a tutorial you'd like to try out or your next challenge on HackerRank. You don't need to come prepared though, you can also just drop by and can get inspired by / pair with someone else.
We'll be meeting at the ETH main building (https://ethz.ch/en/campus/access/zentrum.html). Since there might not be any food / drink options open there on the weekend, consider bringing your own coffee if you need it as fuel for the coding :).
I'll give a more detailed description where to find us in the comments as soon as I've found a table. While ETH can be tricky to navigate we haven't lost anyone yet!
I'm looking forward to seeing you there!
ZH3 Hash # 1711: The Down Out After Back On Under Hash
Hares (who set the route) are Spermalbad and Christian Harlot.
**Where**:
Meet at the lockers in Bhf Stadelhofen (https://maps.app.goo.gl/kS6gV8DsSq5soo9r6, or [https://w3w.co/wording.salad.pastels](https://w3w.co/wording.salad.pastels)). Look for English speakers wearing something approximating to 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 as much beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) as you can drink afterwards, plus snacks.
**On After:**
The clue is in the title. It's between Gleis 1 and Stadelhoferstrasse.
**All Welcome:**
If you are 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 helps.
• 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 with each event (along with the location), cleverly lays the trail (typically with chalk and/or flour markings) so that everyone reaches the end at about the same time.
• There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change.
• Headlamps are highly recommended during the winter months, especially if we go into the woods, which is often the case.
• **After Trail**, we group in the '*Circle*' for 30-40 minutes for drinks, snacks, and some fun. This is usually outside, so bring warm, dry clothes to change into. If you don't want to stand around drinking afterwards, you can head home. We often go to a nearby restaurant for the 'On After' 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.

.
.
**WHY?** we ❤️ **uniting people** and building **community** while having **fun!** We truly believe that **fun meaningful offline connections** to new & existing friends makes us truly happy and healthy! Our community meets **every 2 Fridays** in a **homey,** caring and **welcoming** "come as you are" environment !
.
**WHAT is this event?** We are not a "party or drinks" meetup, nor we follow a "forced" process and agenda. Instead, we are a **Connection Community** inspired by Greek village cafes and Swiss Stammtisch — a welcoming environment where neighbours gathered as equals to share stories and build lasting friendships. We meet in a "**fixed-rhythm**" every 2 Fridays in a **homey** & **lovingly-hosted space** so you can connect with new and familiar faces. We provide **several optional activities** to help you **connect** with others—so you're free to **explore what resonates** with you! Together these activities create a unique **Connection** **Event.**
.
**HOW? Today's activities** are:
* **new comer area** (never was easier to spark a conversation, with ice-breakers, optional for first time attendees)
* **fun social games** (like "cards against humanity" and more - read game names below)
* **mindful games** (no small talk, connect deeper, from [The School of Life](https://www.theschooloflife.com/shop/?_product_type=games-card-sets) \- read game names below\)
* \*\* 20:00 - 20:30 Speed-friending\*\* (glass room on ground floor) guaranteed process to meet spark new fun discussions and meet new people - with moderator)
* \*\* 20:30 - 21:00\*\* **Team Versus Team Playful games** (glass room on ground floor) to stop being so serious, stop adulthood and be silly !
* \*\* 22:00 - 00:00\*\* **Dance Party** (glass room on ground floor) lets dance the week away with reggaeton & hits
* beautiful **homey** industrial location in downtown ZH
* **German-speaking** area (falls du nur Deutsch sprechen möchtest)
* \*\* chill-zones\*\* in private quiet rooms (if you want to talk or play games in quietness)
* or simply **hang-out** and **meet new & old friends** **without** a process ❤️
.
.
.
**TIPS on how to connect:**
* **Look out for a good smile/vibe** in a person/group of 2-3 people and say "Hi my name is xxx, can I join?".
* **Try something different** (person, game, table, activity) often until you find **fun** **quality connection.** We have a lot of activities
* **Ask** **Support:** we understand going out to meet friends can be a stretch. We make this easy with a fun and safe event. Also you can ask for help from our clearly communicated (see photos of this event) "**People Connectors**" who can help you discreetly to connect with others
* **Invest time**(not quickly just come by) as friendships are an investment
* **Come back**: big turnaround, people come randomly at each event, so you never know who you ll meet
.
.
**.**
**Some final words:**
* **Bravo** **to you** for the courage to go out to meet new people! We know **everyone is unique** \- thats why we got a big new\-comer area\, 4 co\-hosts welcoming and connecting you\, and many activities for you to **choose** from to find what **suits you**!
* **Weather?** Event takes place rain or shine, with indoors rooms and outdoors area that is ultra rain-protected
* **Coming late?** no problem, we got many people until closing at 00:00 so come whenever!
* **Too many attendees?** no problem, we got the space! Also as per the "what" above: you define what makes the event meaningful for you! Furthermore, the co-organisers have one goal: to say hi and introduce you to the event and people (if you want to please ask)! Finally remember: you dont have to talk to everyone, focus in a few people! Less is more! If you dont know where to start look for a good smile or an activity more matching to you. From there keep on trying people and activities..
* **Why so many options above for connection?** We always have: a first-timer area, Fun social games, Mindful games, ice-breaker questions or simply just talk freely to anyone. Often we add: Speed-friending and a Music jam. We believe **you are unique** and each of us prefers different ways of connection. Also we want to provide an opportunity for everyone to try something new
* **Easy and Safe:** We have the whole location reserved for us so its safe to open up and meet new friends (unlike bars in Zürich where people find it strange if strangers talk to them). Christos and volunteers will also help with connection. Read more info below.
* **Christos** (see [PHOTO](https://photos.app.goo.gl/pdtVaVGCyDEJ28uE8)) and our co-organisers will be wearing name budges and will aim to **welcome** **everyone.**
* more info via our **[LINKS](http://linktr.ee/connectionspace)**
* Yes YOU are **good** & **courageous** for looking for new fun connections!
* Everyone is in same situation and you ll be surprised how **friendly people** are ❤️
* Come **early** though **later** also ok as many people there **until 00:00**
* **It works**! We heard of many new friendships, living together and even getting a new job
* **Mindful Connection Games:** from [The School of Life](https://www.theschooloflife.com/shop/?_product_type=games-card-sets) available: Confessions Game, The Friendship Game, Connection Game, The Loser Game, Games for grown-ups and three sets of "100 questions" (Conversation Toolkit & Careers & Relationships)
* **Fun Social Games:** bring your own **board/card games** or choose from: Cards against humanity, Exploding Kittens, Codenames, Debatable, Sotally Tober, Taboo, Mafia, Uno, Monopoly and more.

Building Agents with Microsoft Foundry
We will show a variety of methods for building agents that run in Microsoft Foundry. This covers the different types of agents: Prompt, Multi, and Hosted, as well as the development lifecycle using evals and traces.
CBusData - Discover the Power of Window Functions
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.

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.
