Hello Friends! Jörg is always hungry, and we all want to go out for a nice walk. This weekend, we can kill 2 birds with one stone! There is an ostrich farm (Straußenfarm, ferme d'autruches) in Contern, and this weekend they are open to the public for the "Straussefest", Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 7pm. We're going to start in Contern near the "Hall Sportif" and do the "Guttland Trail Contern" with a little extension into the Dalheim forest. After around 8km we will stop for the lunch break, but don't eat too much, Jörg promised that there will be ostrich available at the finish line. At least some pâté and salami, I heard, and you can buy ostrich meat for your next barbecue. **Meeting Point:** We will meet at the "Hall Sportif" in Contern. There's a huge parking lot behind the building. https://maps.app.goo.gl/GQw9vQbzVfkBNHti6 **Public Transport:** You can take train RB 4810 towards "Wasserbillig", leaving "Gare Centrale" at 10.42, arriving in Sandweiler-Contern at 10:50. 5 minutes later you take Bus 324 towards "Kirchberg, Luxexpo" and exit in Contern at the stop "Kraizgaass" at 11:02. From there it is just 10 minutes walk towards "Syren", at the end of the town, on the right-hand side. **Car Pool:** If you come by car, you might offer a seat to a friendly co-hiker. https://groupcarpool.com/t/jmsd2t Passengers, please get into the cars of your favorite driver or place of departure, or on the waiting list if there's no free seat at the moment. Don't forget to remove yourself from the waiting list when you find a seat in a car! Disclaimer: The hike is at your own risk, and please make sure to wear proper shoes and bring some water for yourself! Looking forward to hiking with you! Jens. PS: We will not kill 2 birds; one stone would not be enough anyway. Do you have an idea about the size of these things?

Dear All, Let's celebrate Europe on the European Day! Experience Europe has a special event with guided tours etc. AND Food Trucks! So same procedure as last year ! We will be early hoping it will be less busy in the morning and learn more about Europe. Afterwards, we will sample check the quality of the food trucks. For those who have yet to visit the Experience Europe: It is quite well made. There are some "rabbit holes" where you start reading and loose sense of time. My first visit lasted 2h and ended with my stomach reminding me of lunchtime. Here the link: [https://www.europarl.europa.eu/europe-day/assets/pdfs/2026-luxembourg-europe-day-program_en.pdf](https://www.europarl.europa.eu/europe-day/assets/pdfs/2026-luxembourg-europe-day-program_en.pdf) See you on Saturday! Jörg

**Attention**: Based on past no-shows, everyone will start on a waiting list by default. Once you confirm (in a comment or by PMing me) that you’ve actually read the book, I’ll move you to the “going” list. Thanks for understanding! I still remember quite vividly how, on November 11th, I opened the culture section of The Economist and read the following: «“Flesh” is a deceptively complex work which finds original ways to explore masculinity, intimacy, class divides and power struggles. When asked to sum up his book, Mr Szalay declared it was about “being a body in the world”. That body belongs to Istvan, and his world is a place in which he is a passive participant, unable to speak his mind or articulate his desires.» I bought the book immediately and was struck by how intensely I could resonate with it. Let’s see if it resonates with any of you, too!

Welcome to the yearly Mullerthal megaloop trails. Everybody can do as much as they want from them, the estimated time of completion for all individual loops are ~10 hours. The start time and location for Mullerthal 1/2 are adjusted to be exactly the same. Those who miss them can still join route 3 which intersects with route 2 at the famous waterfall (Schiessentümpel), those who miss them all see you in 2027 as these hikes will not be repeated this year. The weather looks perfect for the weekend 22C clear sky ☀️ so the hike is ongoing. Please bring at least 2L water and come in long pants even if inconvenient, against ticks. Saturday is also public holiday so there is a different schedule for the buses, you can get there earlier but make sure you reach the 08:19 bus from Luxexpo latest, which gets there by 08:51.

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.
