Let's meet for some conversation in German.
IMPORTANT: Please confirm your participation in the Meetup app by Monday morning in the week of the event to ensure that there's enough space for everyone.
As it is sometimes difficult in Switzerland to practice high german, in 2010 we decided to organize a conversation group that is free to everyone who wants to practice german and socialize.

Deep dive into data streaming security
**IMPORTANT PLEASE RSVP:** https://www.jug.ch/html/events/2026/data-streaming-security.html
\*\*\*
ROOM: PH Zürich, Lagerstrasse 2, 8090 Zürich, Building LAB, Room H015
AGENDA: 18:15-19:30h: Talk incl. Q/A
* After the talk, you will have the opportunity to exchange ideas and network with the speaker and professional colleagues over beer and rich finger foods.
**SPEAKER**: Olena Kutsenko **COMPANY**: [Confluent](https://www.confluent.io/)
Data streaming is powering everything from fraud detection and real-time analytics to patient monitoring and order fulfillment. But as the role of streaming grows, so does the risk - because many streaming platforms, like Apache Kafka, aren't secure by default.
In this talk, we'll take a practical look at data streaming security through the lens of Kafka, one of the most widely adopted streaming platforms in the world. We'll walk through what can go wrong - real examples of exposing 14M patient-doctor messages, or years of real-time delivery info to the internet - and what it takes to do it right.
We'll cover the key pillars of securing a streaming system: encryption in transit and at rest, access control, monitoring, and key management. Along the way, we'll look at the trade-offs like disk encryption vs. end-to-end encryption, what is behind field-level and envelope encryption, and the realities of using customer-managed keys in regulated industries.
We'll also explore how streaming security has evolved, how real vulnerabilities (like CVE-2019-12399) highlight the need for patching and monitoring, and what successful multi-layered security looks like in production - from financial institutions to healthcare platforms.
If you're building, running, or scaling streaming systems, this talk will help you see the security blind spots and give you concrete steps to protect the data flowing through your pipelines.

Liebe & Dating als Single - Von Small Talk zu authentischer Anziehung
**Liebe & Dating als Single //**
**Von unverbindlichem Small Talk zu authentischer Anziehung**
**Zu viele Dates und Begegnungen laufen ähnlich ab:**
Man unterhält sich, lacht, tauscht Nettigkeiten aus – und doch passiert innerlich oft erstaunlich wenig.
Früher oder später geht man wieder getrennte Wege.
Was fehlt, ist selten Gesprächsstoff.
Was fehlt, sind Tiefe, Spannung und echte Verbindung.
*Kostenloser Mini-Workshop*
**Von unverbindlichem Small Talk zu authentischer Anziehung**
📍 **Ort:** Debattierhaus Karl der Grosse, Kirchgasse 14, 8001 Zürich
📅 **Datum:** Samstag, 14. Februar 2026 (nachmittags)
👥 **Teilnehmerzahl:** max. 30 Personen
*Trag Dich gleich ein und sichere Dir jetzt Dein Platz!*
Dieser Nachmittag richtet sich an Singles, die genau das verstehen – und etwas verändern möchten.
In entspannter Atmosphäre beleuchten wir psychologische und kommunikative Prinzipien, die einen entscheidenden Punkt im Dating bestimmen: **den Übergang vom freundlichen Kennenlernen zu romantischer Anziehung.**
Du lernst ein praxisnahes und zugleich tiefgehendes Konzept kennen, das sichtbar macht,
* warum Begegnungen oft auf einer unverbindlichen Ebene bleiben
* worin sich spannende, berührende Begegnungen von rein sozialem Small Talk unterscheiden
* und wie Anziehung entstehen kann, ohne dass Du Dich verstellen oder etwas vorspielen musst
Wir sprechen nicht über oberflächliche Flirt-Tipps oder aufgesetzte Verhaltensstrategien.
Im Fokus stehen bewusste Wahrnehmung, klare Kommunikation und authentisches Auftreten im zwischenmenschlichen Kontakt.
Kurz gesagt:
Was passiert zwischen zwei Menschen – vom ersten Kennenlernen bis zu romantischer Anziehung?
Der Nachmittag verbindet **klare Impulse**, **konkrete Erfahrung** und **echte Begegnung**:
* ein Mini-Workshop zu Kommunikation, Präsenz und Anziehung
* Reflexion, Austausch und praktische Anwendungsbeispiele, in denen Du das Framework direkt erleben kannst
* Zeit für neue Kontakte, spannende Gespräche und entspanntes Socializing
Es geht nicht darum, jemanden von Dir zu überzeugen oder „den nächsten Schritt“ zu machen. Sondern darum, authentischer, präsenter und bewusster in romantischen Begegnungen zu werden – und zu verstehen, warum manche Begegnungen Tiefe entwickeln und andere nicht.
Kein Datingevent.
Kein oberflächlicher Workshop.
Kein Leistungsdruck.
Sondern ein bewusst gestalteter Raum für Menschen,
die Dating und Beziehung nicht dem Zufall überlassen wollen
und neugierig sind, wie echte Anziehung entsteht.
**Um einen persönlichen Rahmen zu ermöglichen, ist die Teilnehmerzahl auf 30 Personen begrenzt.**
Wenn Du Lust hast, Dein Dating-Leben besser zu verstehen
und neue Erfahrungen in authentischer Kommunikation zu machen,
freuen wir uns, Dich an diesem Valentins-Nachmittag zu begrüssen.

Algorithmic Trading & Crypto
## (Lesson 2)
## What to expect
Project Equilibrium is an in-person introduction to disciplined, rule-based trading automation. This first event is designed to be clear, practical, and approachable no hype, no pressure, and no prior technical background required.
### Why we meet (two-session structure)
This meetup is structured as **two lessons**:
**Lesson 1 — The “Why” (mindset + framework)**
* What Project Equilibrium is (and what it is not)
* Why we focus on process, rules, and execution discipline
* What “24/7 execution” means in practice
* Q&A and open discussion
**Lesson 2 — The “How” (step-by-step setup)**
* A simple walkthrough of the basic tools you need
* Step-by-step guidance to install and prepare the required exchange apps/accounts
* A clear checklist to be ready for future sessions
(You won’t be left alone—everything is explained calmly and in order.)
### What to bring
To make the second lesson smooth, please bring:
* **A smartphone** (for authentication and exchange app setup)
* **A laptop** (for the setup steps and configuration)
If you only have one device, you can still join Lesson 1. The setup lesson is simply easier with both.
### Who this is for
* People curious about algorithmic execution and portfolio discipline
* Beginners who want a structured approach
* Experienced traders who want more consistency and less stress
### Agenda
* Welcome + introductions
* Lesson focus of the day (Why / How)
* Guided walkthrough (where applicable)
* Q&A + next steps
### How to find the group
* Arrive a few minutes early and look for the **Project Equilibrium** group.
* I will be there to welcome attendees if you’re unsure, simply ask the venue staff for the Meetup group name.

It combines platform tools (adb, simctl) with custom Kotlin AccessibilityService and Swift XCTestService to enable AI-driven mobile workflows that are 10x faster than existing automation frameworks.
Live demonstrations include:
\- Install & run from scratch
\- AI agent running UX deep dive\, reproducing bugs
\- Accessibility & performance audits
\- What running tests looks like
\- Prototype IDE integration
