## Chef’s Table at Char Join us for a **Chef’s Table experience at Char**, a restaurant that chooses fire 🔥 as their language. Opened in late 2025, this restaurant has already collected hundreds of positive reviews with an average of 4.9 ⭐ on Google. This is a curated dinner built around **charcoal, grill, and deep roasted flavours**, served in a warm, relaxed setting in Zürich’s Kreis 3. *** ## Fire, Smoke & Mediterranean Craft You’re greeted by the smell of **freshly baked flatbread and glowing embers**. Char is modern but comforting: warm colours, no design gimmicks, a place where you immediately feel at ease. Here, everything revolves around the **wood-charcoal grill**, where ingredients are allowed to go right up to the edge, gaining that smoky, savoury depth that only fire can give. It’s Mediterranean cooking with confidence: bold aromas balanced by freshness, sweetness, and restraint. *** ### 🍽 The Chef’s Table Experience This dinner is designed to be **shared** and explored together. Dishes arriving in waves, often served *tavolata*-style. **The Menu flows:** * O.G. Flatbread, hot from the oven * Snacks and dips to open the appetite. **Fish** * A warming soup * A refined crudo **From the Grill** * Grilled meat with garnishes * Seasonal grilled vegetables * **Dessert** * A final sweet note, where subtle smokiness may return in unexpected ways Expect **big flavours**, careful balance, and that unmistakable charcoal character reviewers keep talking about. *** ### 🗓 Event Details 📍 **Where:** Char, Zurlindenstrasse 21, Zürich [(Kreis 3)](https://maps.app.goo.gl/RdbaaEjAers4KgxX6) 📅 **When:** **Wednesday, 04 — 20:00** 💸 **Cost:** 85.- (excl. drinks)

**5th February - DotNet Zurich @ Isolutions** *Join us in person at Isolutions!!* This event will happen at Isolutions, The Circle. **Agenda:** * 17:45 Reception open & networking moment - note that if you come earlier we might ask you to help with the setup ;) * 18:00 Intro Hosts & .NET Zurich * 18:15 – 19:05 How to securely implement MCP with OAuth in .NET * 19:15 – 20:05 Swiss Identity in .NET: A Practical Guide to EIAM, aGov, SwissID, Entra ID—and Social Logins * 20:15: Pizza & drinks The event is held in English. **More detail & full excerpt of the talks & bios:** * **Title: How to securely implement MCP with OAuth in .NET** * **Abstract:** In this session, we’ll explore Model-Context-Protocol (MCP). We’ll begin with a high-level overview of MCP, illustrating its core concepts through a practical implementation using Semantic Kernel in .NET. From there, we’ll shift focus to security. We’ll examine common vulnerabilities in MCP-based architectures and demonstrate how to securely implement it using OAuth. Whether you're new to MCP or looking to deepen your expertise, this session will equip you with both the conceptual understanding and hands-on techniques to build secure AI solutions. * **Speakers:** * **Cédric Mendelin** As a seasoned full-stack developer with 8 years of experience, Cédric is fuelled by a passion for .NET, Azure and especially AI! He is dedicated to crafting valuable and secure solutions for end users generating true business value. Located in Basel, Switzerland. * **Raffael Nussbaumer** Raffael is an experienced .NET developer and Azure enthusiast. His experience in developing robust applications with solid craftsmanship is complemented by strong interest in modern DevOps practices and security. * **Damien Bowden** Damien is a web developer, architect and a Microsoft MVP for Visual Studio Development Technologies, Sonar Navigator who loves to learn. He contributes regularly to open-source projects on GitHub and Microsoft ASP.NET Core docs. He runs a very popular blog which focuses on ASP.NET Core, application security, Entra and Angular. * **Title: Swiss Identity in .NET: A Practical Guide to EIAM, aGov, SwissID, Entra ID—and Social Logins** * **Abstract** Modern Swiss apps rarely authenticate just one way. In this fast paced, concept-level session, we compare how to plug EIAM, aGOV, E-ID, SwissID, Microsoft Entra ID, and social providers (Google, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook) into software systems using OpenID Connect/OAuth 2.0 (and where SAML still fits). You’ll see side by side integration patterns and what each IDP means for user experience, assurance levels, consent, data residency, and compliance. We’ll finish with a simple decision matrix—when to choose which IDP, so you can ship secure sign in flows that match your audience, not the other way around. * **Speakers bio:** * **Thomas Aebi** Tom is a Solution Architect with a strong focus on Microsoft technologies. He has joined the party from the early days of .Net and later with Azure, too. He always strives to build a smart and lean solution consisting of already available services, complemented with code as needed. He loves to inspire others and share his knowledge. * **Peter Schnidrig** Peter has over a decade of .Net experience and is a Jack-of-all-trade developer, which jokingly calls himself a Software Archaeologist. He is always on the lookout for new opportunities to implement Blazor applications. * **Marc Rufer** Marc is a passionate software engineer, living in Switzerland and interested in DevOps, DevSecOps, application security, web development and Azure. His favourite tools, technologies and standards are GitHub, Azure DevOps, ASP.NET Core, Git, Terraform, PowerShell, OIDC, SQL, EF Core, REST. * **Andres Bohren** Andres works as a Senior Microsoft Cloud Engineer/Architect for midsize to large Enterprises at isolutions in Switzerland.

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!

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).

### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way? This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents. Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to: Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture. Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases. Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI. Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem. Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.

OWASP is ending use of Meetup, so I built an eventbrite for the event. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ai-development-risk-case-studies-and-how-agentic-ai-is-the-future-of-appsec-tickets-1981450622150?aff=oddtdtcreator AI is transforming how software is designed, developed, and deployed, dramatically accelerating velocity while introducing new categories of risk. As organizations adopt AI-assisted coding, autonomous agents, and increasingly complex model interactions, traditional application security approaches struggle to keep pace. This talk examines emerging AI-driven risks through real case studies from the field, highlighting issues such as insecure code generation, data-leakage pathways, model manipulation, and evolving supply-chain threats. We will explore how engineering teams must adapt their people, processes, and governance models to secure AI-augmented development workflows effectively. The session will then introduce agentic AI as the next evolution in application security—autonomous systems capable of continuous analysis, multi-step reasoning, and real-time remediation. Attendees will learn how combining agentic AI with modern practices can reduce developer friction, improve coverage, and create a future-ready application security strategy designed for the demands of AI-native software development

**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data** Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics. The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth. The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical. (note: we are back at Rev1 this month!) **About Our Speaker** [Alex Moore](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexscottmoore/) is the founder of [Moore Cooperative](https://moorecooperative.com/), where he advises organizations on compensation strategy, pay equity, and people analytics. His work focuses on helping organizations like the Ohio Supreme Court design, analyze, and communicate compensation systems that are data-informed, defensible, and aligned with organizational goals. Alex lives in Granville, Ohio and has three little kiddos. More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)
