WordPress Meetup: WordPress an der Hochschule | WordPress und React
Liebe Zürcher WordPress Community
Wir freuen uns, euch im Juni bei Liip zu treffen. Unser Programm:
**19:00 - 19:30 Erster Vortrag**
**WordPress an der Hochschule – Herausforderungen einer offenen Wissensplattform- Cinzia Gabellini**
Die Hochschule Luzern betreibt eine WordPress‑Plattform mit dem Anspruch, Dozierenden und Studierenden eine offene Wissensplattform bereitzustellen. Sie ermöglicht einen niedrigschwelligen Zugang zu einem eigenen digitalen Raum, um Wissen sichtbar zu machen und zu teilen. Grundlage dafür ist die Multisite‑Funktion von WordPress: Sie erlaubt individuelle Blogs, erlaubt mehrere Autor:innen und unterstützt die digitale Selbstbestimmung der Nutzer:innen. Im Unterschied zu klassischen Lernmanagement‑Systemen, die zentral gesteuert und auf geschlossene Nutzerkreise ausgerichtet sind, setzt unsere WordPress‑Plattform auf Offenheit und Eigenverantwortung. Dieser Ansatz bringt besondere Herausforderungen in der Verwaltung von Nutzenden und Blogs mit sich.
In der Präsentation stelle ich das Konzept der Blog-Plattform vor und zeige, wie wir diesen Herausforderungen in der Praxis begegnen. Du erfährst dabei,
* wie der User Lifecycle zweckvoll umgesetzt werden kann,
* nach welchen Kriterien und wie Blogs weitergeführt oder archiviert werden, und
* wie die Sichtbarkeit von Blogs je nach Nutzungskontext eingestellt werden kann.
Über Cinzia Gabellini
[Cinzia Gabellini](https://www.linkedin.com/in/cinzia-gabellini/) ist Spezialistin für digitale Lehre an der Hochschule Luzern. Mit ihrer Expertise in E-Learning und Erwachsenenbildung unterstützt sie Dozierende bei der Umsetzung nachhaltiger digitaler Lernszenarien sowie bei der Weiterentwicklung ihrer didaktischen Ansätze. Zudem betreut sie die «WordPress-Plattform Lehre» als Teil der Lehr- und Lerninfrastruktur.
**19:30 - 20:00 Zweiter Vortrag:**
**WordPress und React: Die Kombination in der Praxis - und was dabei gelernt wurde**
Die Kombination aus WordPress und React mag technisch, aufwendig und für manche unmöglich klingen. Manchmal ist sie aber die eleganteste Lösung im Raum. Noemi Frischknecht, UX Designerin und Entwicklerin teilt in diesem Vortrag ihre Erfahrung mit genau dieser Kombination.
Anhand echter Projektbeispiele zeigt sie, wann und warum hybride Setups entstanden sind, welche Vor- und Nachteile sie mitbringen, wo Reibung entstehen kann und weshalb die Kombination für sie als UX Designerin & Entwicklerin persönlich besonders wertvoll ist.
Noemi ist nicht nur in der Entwicklung zu Hause und freut sich, diese Thematik für alle zugänglich zu machen. Der Vortrag richtet sich darum wirklich an alle, die in irgendeiner Form mit WordPress-Projekten zu tun haben. Technisches Vorwissen zu React ist nicht nötig - technisches Interesse erhofft sie sich durch den Vortrag zu wecken. Tips wohin mit diesem Interesse sind in der Teilnahme inbegriffen.
Verbinde dich mit [Noemi Frischknecht](https://www.linkedin.com/in/noemi-frischknecht/)
**20:00 - 21:00 Networking**
Wir freuen uns auf euch!

**Why? Offline fun meaningful connections** is what we all deeply desire and makes us truly happy and healthy (scientifically proven - read below)!
.
.
**How?** We are not a "social drinks meetup" - instead we create **one** event to **make new friends** with many **free** and **fun** **optional** activities:
* **mostly outdoors event**, weather allowing, if not we can go indoors
* **19:00 - 00:00** join the fun and simply **talk to anyone** !

* **Fun** social card/board **games**
* **Mindful** card/board **games**
* **Outdoors area -** beautiful & big
* **4** **chill-out rooms** (if you prefer quietness)
* **German-speaking** area (falls du nur Deutsch sprechen möchtest)
.
.
.
* We booked 100% of the location so its **safe to talk to everyone**
* ***The event is inspired*** *by the [Swiss Stammtisch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stammtisch) and Greek village coffeeshops ("[Καφενείο](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafenio)"), once vibrant [community hubs](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=569660528&sxsrf=AM9HkKlXnclaLfgcockKtdr9qHdmD5jaGw:1696060562834&q=greek+%5D(https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=569660528&sxsrf=AM9HkKlXnclaLfgcockKtdr9qHdmD5jaGw:1696060562834&q=greek+)%CE%BA%CE%B1%CF%86%CE%B5%CE%BD%CE%B5%CE%B9%CE%BF&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi52fX67dGBAxXnlf0HHZNiBHUQ0pQJegQICRAB&biw=1460&bih=913&dpr=2&udm=2) where people gathered daily. We innovate this concept with a modern twist. I, Christos, fondly remember visiting these with my grandfather and now revive this fading tradition with a modern twist. Hope you enjoy it ❤️*
* 95% of people come **solo** \- you can too❤️
* Want to **host an activity** in 1 of our 4 private rooms? Workshops, games, connection activities, music, or any other ideas then send a message to Christos on 0768175380
* **Everyone is welcome**! Wir wollen gerne mehr **Schweizer/innen** dabei haben! Alle sind willkommen und die meisten können Deutsch sprechen. Not an expat event. **Everyone is welcome**!
* The "**Connection Space**" meetup group is an independent meetup group and not associated any other group
* **Testimonials** (scroll to "photos" section to read testimonials)

**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.**
.
.
.
.
**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.

The future of our work starts with a conversation
*«The creative and UX industry is changing fast. Roles are shifting, tools are evolving, expectations are rising, and many people are asking what their skills will be worth in the future.»*
**This evening is not a classic Last Thursday Talk.** UX Schweiz and Syndicom invite the community to **a workshop and open exchange** for people working in UX, design, research, strategy, communication and related creative fields.
The focus is especially on people at the beginning of their careers, people in transition, and everyone currently asking: **What does the future of our work actually look like?** We want to create a space for hopes, concerns, changing roles, useful skills, new tools, AI, career paths and possible forms of support within the community. Uncertainty is allowed, but we do not want to stay stuck in fear.
The evening starts with a short input by **[Pascal Geronimi](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pascal-geronimi-5112b324/).** After that, we will work in small groups: collecting thoughts, clustering topics, discussing what matters most, and sharing key insights.
Together, we want to explore:
* What currently gives us hope?
* What feels uncertain or worrying?
* How are roles, tools and expectations changing?
* Which skills and mindsets might become more important?
* What kind of support could UX Schweiz, Syndicom or the wider community offer?
**This is an experimental format.** Because this is a workshop-style event, **places are limited**. Please only register if you are quite sure you can attend. If your plans change, please cancel your RSVP so someone else can join.
**Format**
* Short intro input
* Small-group exchange
* Shared takeaways in the plenum
* Optional informal drinks afterwards nearby
**A small question before you come**
You do not need to prepare anything. But take a moment to think about this: ***When you think about the future of your work: what gives you hope, and what makes you unsure?***
**Practical information**
• The event will be held in English.
• The number of participants is limited.
• Please arrive a few minutes early so we can start on time.

The Eye Contact Experiment [Zürich]
**Start February energized!**
Open your eyes, heart and soul and lose yourself in the eyes of a stranger for one minute. Explore a sense of belonging within our community while enjoying a moment of connection with a fellow human being.
►𝗪𝗛𝗬
Explore and express who you are: A human being.
𝗧𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝘄
When someone approaches us on the street, sometimes there is an incentive to sell something in particular. Yet, in this event, you have the unique opportunity to experience how we connect with each other without any intention. Here, you can feel truly being seen and understood. Experience the joy of human connection.
𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿
Eye contact is a simple form of meditation that allows you to observe your thoughts and feelings with much more clarity. This so called awareness is your gateway to a joyful life. Experience a day full of curiosity, peace and presence.
𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲
For some of us, looking into the eyes of someone can be a difficult, daunting task. Yet it is proven that people looking into the eyes of others are perceived as more confident. This skill can be trained like a muscle. In other words, you are going to feel much more comfortable around other people. Learning this skill can be useful in holding a public speech, a company meeting, at dating or talking with your friends and family.
𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝘆𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝘇𝗲𝗿𝘀
Meet open-minded, positive people and connect with all kinds of them. Experience acceptance free of any judgement. Find a safe place where we see commonalities over differences. We are all part of the same family.
𝗕𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀
Nowadays, we are glued to our phones and social media. We, almost by accident, learned to avoid contact with fellow human beings where the generation before us used to have conversations with strangers while riding the tram, bus or train. Many friendships and romantic relationships used to stem from these casual interactions in public life. Let’s solve the problem of the increasing sense of division, isolation and loneliness by coming together and be truly present and communicate with each other, verbally and non-verbally.
►𝗛𝗢𝗪
Choose someone, offer this person to sit in front of you and make yourself comfortable. Bring a blanket or something similar to comfortably sit down. Alternatively, you can do the eye gazing while standing. Look into each others eyes for a minute (or even longer). Enjoy the silence and observe what happens. Expect nothing, yet be open for everything.
►𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧
The eye contact experiment is a beautiful and powerful experience that…
• offers you to explore human connection through non-verbal communication.
• can make your day, and for some people even change their life.
• brings people together.
►𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡
23th June, from 6:30pm until 8:30 pm.
►𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘

Columbus Bitcoin Social Meetup
*Sorry for the 2 month break but I had to deal with some family member health issues, but we are now back!!*
**LOCATION - THE DAILY GROWLER -**
**2812 Fishinger Rd, Upper Arlington, OH 43221**
Over the years, we’ve heard two requests constantly:
1. A place that was quieter and possibly private.
2. “I wish they accepted Bitcoin.”
We’ve finally found a solution to these requests with The Daily Growler. We’ll have access to their private room, and you’ll be able to pay your tab with Bitcoin.
Join us for a fun and relaxed social event! Enjoy delicious food and drinks as we chat about the latest news in the Bitcoin world. Everyone is welcome, whether you're looking for guidance, have questions, or just want to meet like-minded people. These social evenings are a great opportunity to make new friends and enhance your experience at the larger events throughout the year. We look forward to seeing you there!
PSA: If the attendee RSVP seems low, keep in mind that most of our attendees come from X and not [meetup.com.](http://meetup.com./) You are welcome to come and become a part of our online community.

[Eric Rico: From Joints to Gestures: Reading Hands in Unity] (In-Person) #13
Let's get together and listen to **[Eric Rico](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericrico/)** from Unity3D (**From Joints to Gestures: Reading Hands in Unity**).
A hand tracker gives you joints, not a gesture.
This talk shows how you get from raw joints to a "thumbs-up" in Unity: the pipeline that cleans up the data, how a gesture becomes a few 0-to-1 values within tolerance, and why orientation matters as much as finger shape.
Includes a live demo of tuning gesture thresholds.
Eric also runs the **[Columbus Unity User Group](https://www.meetup.com/columbus-unity-user-group/)**. Check it out!
***Bring your laptop and expect to write some (non-AI-generated) code!***
Food and drinks will be available.

Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy.
In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected.
The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve.
I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
