*«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.

Dear Microsoft Swiss PSUG, We have planned another exciting event. **Place & Language:** Place: Isolutions AG, The Circle 38, 8058 Zürich (Hybrid with Teams) Language: EN **Session 1: PowerShell Notebooks in Practice: Real‑World Use Cases** Description: PowerShell Notebooks can significantly enhance how we build and operate tools. This session showcases practical, real‑world scenarios—including onboarding and offboarding workflows, pipeline integration, diagnostic data collection, and development against both on‑prem and cloud services. With plenty of demos, you’ll see how notebooks can improve productivity and clarity across the entire lifecycle. Speaker: [MVP David Sass](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sassdawe/ "https://www.linkedin.com/in/sassdawe/") **Session 2: Updating isn’t the hard part — Knowing What changed Is** Description: PowerShell modules evolve constantly — features change, bugs are fixed, and behavior shifts. While updating a module is easy, understanding the impact of updates is not. Outdated modules risk lost functionality, while rushed updates can introduce subtle breaking changes. In this demo-focused session, we explore a practical approach to tracking meaningful module changes without notification overload. Using the PackageUpdateInfo module, we show how to detect and report relevant differences between versions. Speaker: [David Bellstedt](https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreasbellstedt/ "https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreasbellstedt/") **Agenda:** 17:00 Welcome 17:30 Session 1 18:15 Session 2 19:00 Networking and Beer 20:00 End of Event

Liebe Filmliebhaber **ab 15.45 Uhr Kochen** für Interessierte **17.30 essen** diejenigen zusammen, die gerne Freundschaften aufbauen und pflegen wollen. **ab 19.00 Uhr privat Film anschauen** **ab 21.00 Filmbesprechung** Wir besprechen die 122 Minuten dauernde Familienkomödie «Madame Mallory und der Duft des Curry» (Original «The Hundred-Foot Journey») aus dem Jahr 2014 Das Drehbuch stammt von Steven Knight, die Regie von Lasse Hallström, Produzenten sind Oprah Winfrey und Steven Spielberg Wir freuen uns über jeden, der kommen kann und Freude am gemeinsamen Besprechen hat. Ihr könnt sehr gerne diese Einladung an andere Interessierte verschicken. **Handlung:** Der Film «Madame Mallory und der Duft des Curry» (Original «The Hundred-Foot Journey») basiert auf dem gleichnamigen Roman aus dem Jahr 2010 von Richard C. Morais. Im Film wird an vielen Beispielen deutlich, wie sich sogar eine Antipathie und ein ausgefeilter und lang andauernder Konkurrenzkampf nach und nach zu einer Freundschaft und sogar zu einer Liebe wandeln kann. Wie ist das möglich, fragt man sich in Zeiten, wo allerorten darauf hingewiesen wird, dass man sich von sogenannt narzisstischen und toxischen Menschen trennen müsste und sein Glück in der Selbstbeglückung finden sollte? Grundlage ist das Wissen darüber, dass der Mensch seine Gefühle, sein Denken und Handeln in den ersten Jahren in den sozialen Erfahrungen mit seinen Bezugspersonen entwickelt. Er ist sich dann sicher, wie er andere Menschen und die Welt wahrnimmt und wie er sie zu beurteilen hat. Auch glaubt er, seine spontanen Vorurteile seien real. Im Gegensatz dazu kann der Mensch seine Fehlwahrnehmung und seine irrtümlichen Haltungen sogar dann ändern, wenn er aggressiv belästigt wird. Es braucht dazu einen Anlass, seine Vorurteile zu überprüfen und sich an den zunächst feindseligen Menschen anzunähern und seine Motive zu verstehen. Der Regisseur Lasse Hallström zeigt ganz feinsinnig im Film, dass gute Beziehungen wichtiger sind als Karriere, Geld und Ruhm, genauso wie in der 75 Jahre dauernden Longitudinalstudie aus Boston untersucht worden ist ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KkKuTCFvzI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KkKuTCFvzI)). Dass solche tragenden Freundschaften und sogar Liebesverhältnisse auch unter extremen Bedingungen entstehen können, zeigt der Film symbolisch: Eine indisch muslimische Familie Kadam (indisch: Beginn des Lebens) verliert die sehr gut kochende Mutter im Feuer bei Massakern hinduistischer Nationalisten in Mumbai ihr Leben. Die Familie flieht nach Frankreich. Bei einer Autopanne erfahren sie grosse Hilfsbereitschaft der aufstrebenden Spitzenköchin Marguerite. Gleichzeitig begibt sich der Vater mit seinem neu eröffneten indischen Restaurant ausgerechnet in Konkurrenz mit einem französischen Spitzenrestaurant, deren Leiterin Madame Mallory (Die Unglückliche), alles daran setzt, die Inder zu vertreiben. Das indische Restaurant wird auch in Frankreich Opfer eines Brandanschlages. Der gegenseitige Kampf der beiden Restaurantbesitzer wandelt sich zu einer zunehmenden Freundschaft dadurch, dass sie Gemeinsamkeiten – hier im Engagement für einen kulinarischen Feingeschmack, am gemeinsamen Vorankommen, an der Exaktheit und im Entdecken von Genüssen - insbesondere aber daran, dass sie sich beide an der Beziehung und füreinander da zu sein in einem sanften Miteinander bei beiden in den Vordergrund rückt. Die Turbulenzen und Missverständnisse entfachen eine Geschichte über Akzeptanz, Liebe und eine Verbindung von Kulturen durch die universelle Sprache der Freude an der Beziehung. Der älteste Sohn Hassan der indischen Familie verfeinert nicht nur seine kulinarischen Fähigkeiten durch die Geheimnisse der französischen Küche über eine zunehmende Freundschaft und Liebe zu Marguerite, der aufstrebenden Köchin im französischen Restaurant, sondern entdeckt die Zutaten zu einem erfüllten Leben. Weitere Daten für Filmabende: Immer am letzten Samstag des Monats (ausser Juli und Dezember) – zum Eintragen in die Agenda 29\. August 26\. September 31\. Oktober 28\. November 19\. Dezember

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/)**.

**Improving Office in Franklinton** Physical location: Improving Office 330 Rush Alley Suite #150 Columbus, OH 43215 Schedule: 6:00 p.m.: Socialize, eat, and drink. Improving will be providing pizza and beverages. 6:30 to 8:00 pm. Main meeting and presentation(s). Topic: In this session, we will explore the concept of hyperdimensional computing (HDC), a brain-inspired method of computing. We'll begin by talking about neurons and the brain. Through simple Python examples we’ll dive into HDC and answer: What it is? How does it work? And, how does it learn? We will review how other researchers have applied HDC and demonstrate how it can be used for solving cybersecurity tasks. Where deep learning fails, HDC excels. No supercomputer? No problem. HDC offers interpretability, low energy requirements, robustness to errors, online learning, on-device learning, and more. By pushing the difficult calculations into the embedding process, learning becomes a cinch. By the end of this talk, attendees will have everything they need to teach their own hyperdimensional computing models. We meet on the last Monday of each Month. Presentations are given by members and friends of this group. If you would like to do a presentation (small or large) on a python topic, please contact Central OH Python at centralohpython@gmail.com
