Software delivery is changing faster than most organizations can keep up with. Teams are shipping more. Expectations are rising. New capabilities are entering the development workflow at speed. But behind the momentum, many organizations are asking the same questions: * What does this actually change for our teams? * How do we adopt this without losing control? * And what do we need to have in place to make this work? Because one thing is becoming clear: *The gap between teams that adapt and those that don’t, is growing fast.* This event gives you a clear, practical view on what’s happening, what it means for your engineering organization, and what you should be doing next. **Real insights, real trade-offs, and real next steps.** Program and Registration: https://events.xebia.com/microsoft/ai-reshaping-software-delivery-zurich-june-2

Dies ist ein informelles Treffen für Lernende, die ihre ersten Schritte in der Programmierung machen oder ihre Grundkenntnisse vertiefen möchten. *** This is an informal meetup, for learners that want to do their first steps in programming or want to consolidate their skills. We spend one hour and a half working on tutorials, exercises or projects. If you need help to get started, we will help you finding a good way for learning. You should be prepared to spend your time "doing things": just hanging around and listening might get boring, if all other people are learning on their side. There are experienced people are around and you can ask questions as soon as their arise or bring with you questions you have had during the week. During the last half an hour, we do a (simple) exercise together. We speak German, English, and a few other languages.

**Die Schweiz hat ein Problem mit der LGBTIQ+-Ideologie. Und wir sollten endlich darüber sprechen.** Redner: Michèle Binswanger, Chris Brönimann, Andy Mosetti, Bayan Furutan und Andrea Seaman. **Tickets kaufen:** [https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/politics-community/politics/transideologie-im-fokus-fakten-gefuehle-und-politik-7456756486456223440.html](https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/politics-community/politics/transideologie-im-fokus-fakten-gefuehle-und-politik-7456756486456223440.html) Im Januar hat der Bundesrat einen nationalen Aktionsplan gegen sogenannte «Hate Crimes» gegenüber LGBTIQ-Personen verabschiedet. Darunter fällt zunehmend auch «verbale» Gewalt; ein dehnbarer Begriff, der kritische Meinungsäusserungen schnell unter Verdacht stellt. Gleichzeitig plant das Parlament, Geschlecht und «Geschlechtsidentität» in die Anti-Rassismus-Strafnorm (Art. 261bis) aufzunehmen. Und mit neuen Regulierungen für Kommunikationsplattformen soll ‘ransphobe Hassrede’ im Internet eingeschränkt werden. Was hier entsteht, ist ein politisches Instrument zur Einschränkung legitimer Kritik an einer Ideologie. Der Fall von Emanuel Brünisholz, der 2025 für einen Facebook-Kommentar zehn Tage im Gefängnis verbrachte, zeigt, wie weit diese Entwicklung bereits gegangen ist. Eine Meinungsäusserung, die früher als banal oder streitbar gegolten hätte, wird heute kriminalisiert. Doch nicht nur der Staat treibt diese Entwicklung voran. Auch NGOs liefern dazu ideologisches Material. Organisationen wie die LGBTIQ-Helpline sammeln und klassifizieren Äusserungen als «Hassverbrechen», um jährlich alarmistische Berichte zu veröffentlichen. Das sind Berichte, die regelmässig als Grundlage für weitere Einschränkungen der Meinungsfreiheit dienen. Wenn Worte zu Verbrechen erklärt werden, steht mehr auf dem Spiel als nur eine politische Debatte. Es geht um das Fundament einer offenen Gesellschaft: die Freiheit, Fragen zu stellen, auch unbequeme. Und genau diese Fragen werden dringend gebraucht. Was ist eine Transfrau? Die Antworten darauf bleiben vage und widersprüchlich. Was ist eine Frau? Hier gibt es deutlich klarere biologische und gesellschaftlich akzeptierte Definitionen. Was bedeutet es wirklich, «im falschen Körper geboren» zu sein? Ist Genderdysphorie eine medizinische Krankheit oder ein ideologisch aufgeladenes Konzept? Und schliesslich: Handelt es sich bei der LGBTQ+-Bewegung um eine schützenswerte Minderheit oder zunehmend um eine politische Bewegung mit festen Glaubenssätzen, die sie der gesamten Gesellschaft aufzwingen will, sei es durch Sprachvorgaben, neue Pronomen oder sozialen Druck? Obwohl das Akronym LGBTQ+ auch Schwule und Lesben einschliesst, wächst der Unmut in den eigenen Reihen. Immer mehr homosexuelle Männer und Frauen haben es satt, mit dem «TQ+» in einen Topf geworfen zu werden. Sie sehen in der aktuellen Genderideologie einen Widerspruch zur Idee der Homosexualität selbst. Gerade weil die Genderideologie heute politischen Einfluss hat – Gesetze prägt, Institutionen formt und öffentliche Debatten einschränkt – braucht es offene, ehrliche und furchtlose Diskussionen. Denn eine freie Gesellschaft lebt nicht davon, dass alle derselben Meinung sind. Sie lebt davon, dass wir den gängigen Orthodoxien widersprechen dürfen. Deshalb organisiert das [Bündnis Redefreiheit ](https://www.buendnisredefreiheit.ch)am Dienstag, 2. Juni, eine öffentliche Diskussion zu diesen Fragen. Der Abend ist als offene Diskussion angelegt. Die Referenten werden unterschiedliche Perspektiven vertreten. Das Publikum ist ausdrücklich eingeladen, Fragen zu stellen und Einwände zu formulieren. Ziel ist keine Einigung um jeden Preis, sondern eine präzisere Klärung der Streitpunkte. Wenn am Ende klarer ist, worüber wir sprechen und worüber wir uns nicht einig sind, ist bereits etwas erreicht. Die Redner: **Chris Brönimann** (56) blickt auf drei Jahrzehnte Lebensreise mit Transhintergrund zurück – eine Erfahrung, die seine heutige Perspektive tief prägt. Nachdem er ab Ende der 90er-Jahre als Nadia Brönimann die Öffentlichkeit an seiner Transition teilhaben liess, folgte im Sommer 2024 die Rückkehr zu seiner Identität als Mann. Heute nutzt er diese fundierte Lebenserfahrung, um die oft polarisierte Debatte zu versachlichen und sich kritisch mit aktuellen Entwicklungen auseinanderzusetzen. Sein besonderes Augenmerk gilt dabei dem Schutz von Minderjährigen vor übereilten medizinischen Eingriffen. Er plädiert dezidiert für eine entschleunigte, ergebnisoffene psychotherapeutische Begleitung anstelle von vorschnellen medizinischen Schritten. Als Referent an Schulen und Berater für betroffene Familien vermittelt der in Lachen (SZ) lebende Experte zwischen den Fronten. Er versteht sich als Brückenbauer, dem die langfristige psychische Gesundheit junger Menschen wichtiger ist als ideologische Debatten. **Andy C. Mosetti**, geboren 1970 in Zürich, ist ein engagierter Aktivist in der Gay & Lesbian Community mit weit über 30 Jahren Erfahrung in der Förderung von Gleichberechtigung und Offenheit. Als offen schwul lebender Unternehmer in der Reisebranche bringt er Expertise in Medien, Events und Jugendarbeit ein. **Bayan Furutan** arbeitet tagsüber in der Welt der Finanzen und Buchhaltung. Jedoch widmet er seine Freizeit Debatten, Philosophie, und Literatur. Seit mehreren Jahren beschäftigt er sich privat mit Themen wie Transgenderismus und Redefreiheit, über die er schreibt und recherchiert. Jetzt tritt er zum ersten Mal auf die Bühne: unorthodox und neuartig. Wir erwarten eine spannende Dynamik und wünschen ihm das Beste im Haifischbecken. **Andrea Seaman** ist Geschäftsführer von Bündnis Redefreiheit. Er ist auch Präsident des Debattierclubs Zurich Salon. Er ist Redaktor des deutschen Online-Magazins NovoArgumente und hat als Redaktor für den Schweizer Monat gearbeitet. Er hat einen Master-Abschluss in Philosophie und Geschichte der Universität Freiburg (Schweiz). -- Der Zurich Salon empfiehlt diese Veranstaltung des Bündnisses Redefreiheit im Prinzip und hilft bei der öffentlichen Bekanntmachung des Events via Meetup.

Two very different, complementary topics for our June evening. One on the small, everyday habits that make teams actually collaborate. The other on how a platform and a cultural movement transformed IT in the public sector. Here's what's planned for the evening: 17:30 - 18:00 - Arrival and first drinks 18:00 - 18:45 - Micro Habits for better Teamwork by Dr. Denniz Dönmez 18:45 - 19:30 - From DevOps to Digital Sovereignty: How a Movement Became a Platform by Syrian Hadad 19:30 - 20:30 - Networking, Open Space & More drinks\* **Micro Habits for better Teamwork** Great teamwork is like solving a puzzle, and not like playing poker, it's not about playing against each other, but rather achieving real collaboration. Micro Habits are psychological hacks that create big results in teams. Micro Habits for Better Teamwork span seven behavioral domains, such as taking responsibility, creating psychological safety, and testing our assumptions. Each provides concrete, small, actionable behaviors that lead to major improvements in collaboration. This talk presents practical, everyday tools based on real-world experience that can be applied immediately to make teamwork easier and more effective, without lengthy coaching programs or complex team-development processes. With Micro Habits, teams unlock their full potential step by step. **Dr. Denniz Dönmez** Scientific agilist and co-creator of Micro Habits for better Teamwork. 15 years experience leading teams and consulting market leaders with a background and PhD in agile methods. **From DevOps to Digital Sovereignty: How a Movement Became a Platform** IT in the public sector is anything but simple: long-established landscapes, strict regulatory requirements, complex processes, and often more than 500 business applications that must be operated reliably. For a long time, this meant ordering individual servers, databases, DNS entries, firewall rules, and storage, then assembling everything manually. Every application was unique. Pets instead of cattle. This talk tells the story of how the DevOps idea took hold in exactly this environment — first as a cultural movement, and later as a concrete operating and architectural model. Step by step, individual infrastructure evolved into a platform, manual work into automation, and isolated solutions into standardization. The result: the Aargau Cloud Platform and a dedicated platform engineering team. In an environment shaped by legacy systems, federal structures, and long lifecycle expectations, platform thinking becomes the foundation for digital sovereignty: maintaining control, reducing dependencies, and still staying innovative — without simply handing everything over to others. **Syrian Hadad** Syrian Hadad is a CTO and long-standing technology and platform leader in the public sector. Among other achievements, he built the Aargau Cloud Platform and helped establish DevOps, cloud, and architecture topics strategically within the organization. Together with the IT organization of the Canton of Aargau, he won the 2023 Digital Economy Award (Digital Excellence) for the consistent transformation toward platforms, cloud-native technologies, and modern governance.

Dear members of HaskellerZ I am pleased to invite you to the following guest lecture from the creator of the Elm programming language, Evan Czaplicki. Please note that it is at the OST campus in Rapperswil. Title: **Making Web Apps can be Fun!** **How to use Functional Languages at Work.** Speaker: **Evan Czaplicki** Date & Time: 03.06.2026 17h15-19h00 Place: **OST Campus at Rapperswil \| Lecture Hall 5\.002** Abstract: Typed functional languages have had success in some surprising places. From high frequency trading at Jane Street, teaching physics and engineering at Brilliant, and plenty of businesses in between. We will go through some case studies to build an intuition for why a functional language is likely (or unlikely) to succeed in a given business scenario. From there we will dive into Elm ([https://elm-lang.org](https://elm-lang.org/)), a simple functional language that runs in browsers. If we have time, we will build a little website together. You should come away from this talk with (1) the core knowledge needed to build your own functional front-end and (2) an intuition for when it is a good business idea to do so. You do not need to know functional programming to enjoy this talk. Speaker Bio: Evan is the author of the Elm ([https://elm-lang.org](https://elm-lang.org/) <[https://elm-lang.org/](https://elm-lang.org/)\>\) and Acadia \([https://acadia.engineering](https://acadia.engineering/) <[https://acadia.engineering/](https://acadia.engineering/)\>\) programming languages\. He has been developing compilers and servers in Haskell for nearly 15 years\, and has significant expertise in using low\-level techniques to get the best possible performance out of Haskell programs\. I look forward to seeing you there!
