Zurich Friends of Haskell - General Assembly
Every year the Zurich Friends of Haskell meet for a general assembly as per the [statutes of the association](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-8eHAK40hiH5jv79AscWtf3pyUNxx4Ls1LwkpLYK--8/edit?usp=sharing).
The purpose of the Zurich Friends of Haskell is to organize ZuriHac and the HaskellerZ meetup. The general assembly gives you the opportunity to learn what the association has been doing in the year 2025 and to contribute to ZuriHac, the HaskellerZ meetup, and the Haskell community in Zurich.
The general assembly is open to all members of the ZFoH. If you are not a member yet, please head over to [the ZFoH website](https://zfoh.ch) and sign up for membership.
The agenda is as follows:
1. The board will present a summary of the association's activities in 2025.
2. The treasurer will present the financial report for 2025.
3. We vote to discharge the board for their work in 2025.
4. We will discuss the goals and aspirations of the association for 2026.
5. We will elect the board for the years 2026 & 2027.
Please let us know if you have further topics you would like to discuss.
Note: members of the ZFoH will receive a separate invitation via email. Please RSVP to this meetup event anyway so we get an accurate picture of who will be attending. Thank you!
Looking forward to seeing you at the GA!
PS: We'll be holding a regular HaskellerZ meetup right after the general assembly, to be announced as a separate Meetup event. Please RSVP for that event separately once it is announced.
Legal UX: Protecting Your Work, Your Brand & Your Ideas
**About the talk**
Legal topics are often treated as something that comes after design, product, or branding. In reality, every UX decision, every deliverable, and every shipped product already creates legal consequences, whether we notice them or not.
In this talk, [Neena Kaiser,](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nskaiser/) [Ryccardo d' Alessio](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryccardo-d-alessio-684337123/), and[ Tadas Zukas](https://www.linkedin.com/in/drtadaszukas/) explore the intersection of Legal × UX × Product × Personal Brand, focusing on real situations designers, founders, and builders face every day.
Rather than legal theory or scare tactics, the session is grounded in concrete cases: ownership of design work, intellectual property pitfalls, client conflicts, branding protection, and the moments where teams realize too late that legal clarity should have been part of the process from day one.
Through a live case example from Do Your Order, the speakers will show how legal thinking can actively support product growth and marketing instead of slowing it down. The session also introduces Juriscope, a legal-orientation tool designed to bring clarity to complex legal questions, demonstrated live using real UX- and product-related scenarios.
T**he talk will also open space for discussion and feedback:** how legal tools should be designed, what designers actually need from legal support, and how we can make legal experiences more transparent, accessible, and human.
**\-\-\-\> This will be an open space\, bring questions you would like the experts to Answer\.**
**Expect practical takeaways** you can immediately apply to your own work, whether you’re freelancing, building products, scaling a startup, or shaping your personal brand shared through real cases, real trade-offs, and honest conversations.

Hackergarten March
We're planning the next Hackergarten Zurich 🥳 We're looking forward to see some familiar faces and share knowledge within the open-source community. Spread the word — everyone is welcome! Bring your project, a bug, a feature, a question... or just your time and enthusiasm 💜 As always there will be free drinks, beer and pizza, sponsored by Quatico.
As usual we briefly present the open-source projects we'd like to work on, break up into groups and try to make an actual contribution. We offer free pizza, beverages and depending on weather conditions a great view on Zurich West from the rooftop terrace.
Many thanks to Quatico (https://www.quatico.com) for hosting the event!

ZH3 Hash # 1716: Winter is cumming (again)
Just when you thought you could stash the thermal leggings and show some skin - surprise! Winter took one look at your pasty knees and decided to cum again... This week’s trail promises the full Game of Thrones experience: cold winds, possible snow, and the vague sense that nobody will survive past the beer stop.
Hares have bravely marked a scenic route through what used to be “springtime” but now promises to be full of that white sticky stuff we all love. Expect shiggy, frozen fingers, and the chance to reflect on your life choices while wondering if hot mulled wine counts as a balanced electrolyte replacement.
Circle will be in the Platz next to Wipkingen Bahnhof and on-after will be Gelateria di Berna.
**Where**:
Wipkingen Bahnhof Mobility car
**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.

Arrival time with drinks, chat and introduction
19:00 \~ 19:40
*Christian Heitzmann*
**Why Documentation Won’t Write Itself—and AI Won’t Save You**
For the last 15+ years, I’ve joined and consulted software teams that all struggled with the same problem: nobody likes writing documentation, and everybody pays the price for it. New developers spend weeks reverse-engineering codebases, architecture lives in people’s heads, and wikis quietly decay into noise.
With AI now entering the picture, many hope it will fill the gaps. It won’t.
I’ll show the simple ideas that change everything: how to think about documentation in the right levels, how to keep it close to the code, and how to avoid the decay we all know too well. These are the decisions that have to be made before any tool or process can work.
The documentation won’t write itself. But there are ways to make it far easier and far more reliable.
19:40 \~ 19:50
**Short Break**
19:50 \~ 20:10
*Marco Gähler*
**How to write good code**
There is an infinite amount of solutions how you can solve a programming problem. Some are better, others are worse. The best solutions are easy to understand, maintain and errors are not able to hide. I wrote a book "Software Engineering Made Easy" about this topic and I'm more than happy to explain some principles that make your code better. Most of them are quite simple to understand, once you understand the mechanics, why your code always breaks.
20:10 \~ 20:30
*Marius Ishida*
**AI: The Lightsaber Problem**
My talk will challenge the popular narrative that AI fundamentally democratizes power by showing that, which I believe is not true at all. While generative AI lowers entry barriers for basic tasks, it disproportionately amplifies the productivity and leverage of already computer literate users. Empirical research shows that AI acts as a skill multiplier rather than a true equalizer, with outcomes strongly dependent on users’ ability to frame problems, verify outputs, and integrate tools into complex workflows. As a result, AI risks reinforcing a new AI driven digital divide, where technical literacy—not access alone—determines who truly benefits.
20:30 onward
More drinks & chat
We look forward to see you there!

How LLMs Like ChatGPT Actually Work and How to Build With Them
**First meetup of the Columbus AI Engineering group.**
We’ll kick things off with a practical, beginner-friendly discussion on:
**How LLMs like ChatGPT actually work — and how to build real applications with them.**
We’ll cover:
* what’s actually happening under the hood (at a high level)
* why LLMs behave the way they do (hallucinations, prompt sensitivity, etc.)
* how people are building real systems with them today
* where things break in practice
This will be a **short, informal talk (\~15–20 min)** followed by open discussion and Q&A.
Whether you’re an engineer, builder, or just curious about how modern AI systems work, you’re welcome to join.
No slides, no fluff — just real conversation about real systems.
We’ll hang out afterward and get to know each other.
From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**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
**Abstract**
Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively.
This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way.

CBusData: The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again.
We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all.
Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.
