Huelga Feminista Suiza 2026 – Zúrich (14 de junio)
*Huelga Feminista Suiza 2026 – Zúrich (14 de junio)*
El 14 de junio se celebra en toda Suiza la Huelga Feminista, una jornada de movilización que tiene su origen en la histórica huelga de mujeres de 1991, cuando cientos de miles de mujeres salieron a las calles para exigir que el principio de igualdad incorporado a la Constitución en 1981 se hiciera realidad. Hoy, la movilización continúa reivindicando la igualdad de género, denunciando las violencias machistas y visibilizando el trabajo de cuidados y otras desigualdades persistentes.
La jornada en Zúrich comenzará con una clase de yoga al aire libre de 11:00 a 12:00 h en el parque Josefwiese, siempre que las condiciones meteorológicas lo permitan.
A partir de las 13:00 h en el Kasernenareal, habrá puestos informativos, talleres, intervenciones, conciertos y actividades para todas las edades. Entre las actividades programadas destacan un taller sobre la huelga de cuidados (Care-Streik Workshop), una sesión de autodefensa con Fightback y diversas propuestas culturales y comunitarias. También habrá espacios de cuidado infantil durante parte de la programación.
A las 17:00 h dará inicio la gran manifestación feminista, que partirá desde Ni-Una-Menos-Platz y recorrerá el centro de la ciudad.
📅 Domingo, 14 de junio de 2026
📍 Josefwiese, Kasernenareal y Ni-Una-Menos-Platz, Zúrich

Columbus Museum of Art, Free Admission Sundays
Let’s meet and wander the galleries! General admission on Sundays is free.
Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for June is "Roadtrip"
Speak Easy: true stories, told live.
The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast.
Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect.
The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
Microsoft Build - Columbus Edition!

And yes, there will be free food.

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**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**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.
