Join us for a community-led developer event focused on AI-assisted coding with GitHub Copilot. This event brings together developers to explore practical workflows, real-world use cases, and hands-on experiences using GitHub Copilot. Whether you are new to GitHub Copilot or already using it, this event will help you better understand how to apply AI-assisted coding techniques in everyday development. **Agenda** \- 4:30pm: Doors open\, Snacks\, and Networking \- 5:00pm: Welcome\, Community update \- 5:10pm\~5:40pm: Tech talk: GitHub Copilot overview \- 5:40pm\~6:40pm: Tech talk: GitHub Copilot in Practice \- 6:40pm\~7:30pm: Open discussion and closing **Tech talk: Mastering GitHub Copilot CLI** **Speaker:** Aymen Furter - Cloud & AI Solution Engineer, Microsoft **Abstract:** Learn to harness the power of agentic development by transitioning to autonomous, multi-step terminal workflows. This session focuses on mastering plan-based execution, repository-aware context, and integrating external data via the Model Context Protocol. **Tech talk: GitStop Using GitHub Copilot Like a Toy** **Speaker:** Emanuele Bartolesi - GitHub Tech Lead, Xebia **Abstract:** GitHub Copilot is easy to love in a demo. Real projects are different. Production codebases come with legacy code, missing context, inconsistent patterns, unclear requirements, and delivery pressure. That is where GitHub Copilot either becomes a real advantage or just an expensive toy. This talk focuses on practical ways to use Copilot in real development workflows, going beyond autocomplete. Agent mode, skills, Copilot CLI, and better prompting can make a real difference when working in messy repositories and under real deadlines. Designed for developers and tech leads who want more than flashy demos, this session shares concrete tactics to get better output, reduce noise, and make Copilot genuinely useful in day-to-day software delivery.

It's time for a new NixOS release, **26.05 Yarara**! 🎉 For a month before release, NixOS is in ZERO Hydra Failures stage. During this time, the community tries to fix all of the Hydra build failures in *Nixpkgs*. You can read more about the process [here](https://github.com/NixOS/release-wiki/blob/master/src/Zero-Hydra-Failures.md). The 26.05 release schedule will become available soon. **Who is this event for?** Anyone who's interested in Nix! Among the attendees you'll find core Nix contributors, full-on Nix beginners, and everything in between. This event is as much about the upcoming release as it is about engaging with the *local Nix and functional programming community*. It's a great opportunity to get your feet wet while helping us stabilise the next release. [Check out our user group website](https://zurich.nix.ug) for more information about the venue and our agenda! **Do I need to bring anything?** A *laptop* would be useful. Food, drinks, coffee, tea, swag, desks, and friendly mentors are all provided. Bring as many *friends* as you can! 🙂 Make sure they **RSVP**, so we know how much food and swag to get. **Sounds great! Are there other such events?** We organise ZHF every 6 months and we organise smaller Nix meetups irregularly. NixCon 2025 also took place here in Rapperswil! Stay on top of these things by joining the Nix Zürich group or by visiting [our website](https://zurich.nix.ug/) from time to time. **Hackathon** The main objective of the hackathon is to approach Zero Hydra Failures for the upcoming NixOS release by fixing bugs and build errors in Nixpkgs and NixOS. A hackathon is also a great opportunity to address issues that are otherwise hard to fix or get going with. Therefore everyone can pitch projects they want to work on at the venue, and ask for assistance or schedule time to discuss their ideas or code.

**What is SOLA?** [SOLA ](https://asvz.ch/event/412-sola-stafette)is a relay run around Zurich city. A 14x runners team covers a total distance of 114.77 km and an altitude difference of 2,640 m in the greater Zurich area. The 14 sections are between 3.69 - 14.11 km long suitable for all type of runners. **How can I participate with the hashers?** Register using this form: [SOLA 2026 Hash Rego Form](https://forms.gle/u32k4FHWTDaPpKzF8) Teams and allocated legs are available [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q6skotPebRNoYWr4WR0YRG2A2BcU10DkdV4krR8NE0w/edit?usp=sharing).

Hash cash will not be collected from regular Zürich Hashers on the day. Regular SOLA rego is CHF 40. As last year SOLA allows all genders to run any of the stretches. The race starts with a leg 1 at 7:30 (all registered teams are slow teams) in the misty Hönggerberg woods. Then runners 2 to 7 head out into Engstringen, up and along the Uetliberg and back into town, finishing at the beautiful University Irchel. The afternoon runners 8-12 start at 12:30 . The trail heads through Forch to Egg and comes back to Witikon. Two short runs from there to the finish at Irchel complete the race. We meet at tents across the lake from the finish. Handover is done by a handshake to the next runners so **it's important to turn up early**. Runners 1, 8 and 13 start sharp at 7:30, 12:30 and 16:45 respectively.

The **"Connection Space"** is exactly the opposite of that; its a **fun** social environment outside family and work, a cultural exchange, where we **unite** and hangout with **new and old friends** as **one community**. . Thats it. . No to phones, laptops, zoom-calls, books No to a specific reason to get together (eg. only for specific hobbies, genders, age groups, languages etc) No to just talking to your friends Not a dating, not a party, not an expat-only meetup NO to division (political racial gender etc) . Yes to simple and real in-person connection with new and old friends YES TO FUN! We got many optional activities for you to try out Yes to feeling like home & come as you are Yes to unity, love and respect for one another Yes to eating, drinking and music Yes to everyone-is-welcome & always-free events YES to UNITY! Getting along with each other in spite of different opinions . Our events are **inspired** by the Greek village culture of "[Καφενείο](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafenio)" (village coffeeshops) with photos [HERE](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&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi52fX67dGBAxXnlf0HHZNiBHUQ0pQJegQICRAB&biw=1460&bih=913&dpr=2). When myself Christos was a kid, my granddad took me to these "[Καφενείο](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafenio)". Every neighbourhood had one, and people met, without an exaggeration, on a daily-basis. It was the community center of the village. People met new and old friends, played games, socialised, ate snacks, drank coffee and ouzo. It was a very friendly, welcoming and homey environment. Unfortunately this concept is rapidly dying in Greece. As a kid I had extremely good memories of these coffeeshops, and for this reason I am passionate to revive and recreate this environment and also add a modern twist. Hope you enjoy it! . * **WHAT is NOT Connection Space? NOT** a drinks or party event (responsible drinking only, no shots, no free drinks). **NOT** a dating event. **NOT** foreigners-only, but everyone is welcome * **What KIND of event is this?** Its a mix of **social** and **cultural event** that build **community**. We have many people from so many different cultures socialising, we promote culture with events with Art exhibitions and Live Music and we also revive the social culture of the Greek traditional village coffeeshop (Καφενείο - read more above). * **WHO?** Wir wollen gerne mehr **Schweizer/innen** dabei haben! Alle sind willkommen und die meisten können Deutsch sprechen. Not an expat event. **Everyone welcome**! * **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. . Looking forward to **fun quality Connections**! 🙂

If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
