Здравейте, WordPress хора! Както знаете, благодарение на Matt Mullenweg и Mike Little, на 27 май 2003 г. един млад проект с отворен код направи първите си стъпки в света - и ето ни 23 години по-късно, все още влюбени в него. Двама души го създадоха, но хиляди доброволци, разработчици, дизайнери и ентусиасти по целия свят го превърнаха в това, което е днес. Затова на 27 май 2026 г. отново ще се съберем в София, за да вдигнем тост (и хапнем парче торта) за рождения ден на любимата ни платформа! Какво ни очаква? Среща с хора, които говорят на нашия език - този на темите, плъгините, къстъмизациите и късните нощи в WordPress редактора. Очакват ни разговори, хапване, торта и онова специално усещане, когато общността се събере на едно място. Докато ние празнуваме в София, хиляди WordPress ентусиасти по целия свят правят същото – а ние сме част от тази голяма картина. Без значение дали си разработчик с 15 години стаж, дизайнер, който прави първия си сайт, блогър, агенция или просто човек, който обича отворения код – има място за теб на тази маса. Малко повече инфо: 🎟️ Събитието е напълно безплатно. Единственото, което трябва да направите, е да се регистрирате в събитието в Meetup.com. 📍 Мястото? Добре познатото ни Sky Beauty Lab! 👕 Донеси любимият си суаг! Извади от гардероба най-готината WordPress тениска, шапката с логото, чорапите с Wapuu – каквото имаш. И не забравяй да публикуваш снимки с хаштаговете #WP23 и #WP23Sofia, за да покажем на света как празнува българската общност. Благодарности: Това парти нямаше да е възможно без партньорите ни, които стоят зад WordPress Sofia Meetup и общността ни вече години наред – [SuperHosting.BG](SuperHosting.BG), [Delta.BG](Delta.BG), [Jump.bg](Jump.bg) и [JetHost.BG](JetHost.BG). Благодарим ви, приятели! <3 Заредете доброто си настроение, отворете календара и си запазете датата. За тези, които не знаят: месечните срещи на WordPress Sofia Meetup събират десетки хора (независимо дали са професионалисти или абсолютно начинаещи), които по някакъв начин са свързани с най-използваната система за управление на съдържанието в света. Те са напълно безплатни и отворени за всички, които обичат WordPress - единственото нещо, което трябва да направите, за да присъствате, е да се регистрирате в събитията тук. Очакваме ви! Фори, Ники, Явор

*This event features presentations in both English and Bulgarian.* Силен старт на крипто лятото! Миналия месец се надявахме, че сме оцелели след дъното. Този месец видяхме токени, които се покачиха с до 50%. Изглежда не сме сгрешили. След месеци на спадове, несигурност и пазар, който дълго време изглеждаше изтощен, нещо най-после се размърда. И не само на графиките. Имаме три добри новини за този месец: Първо, пазарът показа зъби. Второ, САЩ продължават да бутат напред с добра крипто регулация. Трето (и може би най-забавното): Prediction Markets се оказаха толкова успешни, че България реши да ги блокира (за първи път още през февруари). Когато регулатор бърза да забрани нещо, обикновено това е знак, че там се случва нещо интересно. На следващия Sofia Crypto Meetup ще обсъдим: Кои токени се представиха най-добре и защо. Какво всъщност представляват Prediction Markets и защо толкова много хора (и държави) говорят за тях. Какво може да очакваме през лятото - кои са реалните сценарии, а не магическите прогнози. Никакви празни приказки, никакви обещания за бързо забогатяване. Просто разговор по същество, добър анализ и достатъчно време за въпроси и дискусия. Елате да го отпразнуваме заедно. Дъното е зад нас, лятото е пред нас, а разговорът ще бъде интересен. Очаквайте и много специален гост!

Combinatorial optimization problems arise across logistics, scheduling, and engineering, and C++ remains a language of choice when performance matters. This lecture takes a practical look at solving such problems in C++, using the Electric Vehicle Routing Problem as a running example. We begin with an exact solver, formulating the problem as a mixed-integer program and trying to solve it through GLPK's C API directly from C++. Exact methods, however, quickly hit their limits on real-world instances. The second half of the talk turns to metaheuristics: how they are designed, why C++ is particularly well suited for implementing them, and what design choices matter most in practice. We'll walk through a concrete implementation, touching on data structures for fast neighborhood evaluation, generic algorithm design with templates, and the performance considerations that separate a prototype from a production-ready solver. The goal is not to advocate for one approach over another, but to show how C++ supports the full spectrum of optimization techniques.

This is the 50th Anniversary of the Judgment of Paris. Significantly, in 1976, California wines unexpectedly outperformed French wines in a blind tasting with nine French judges, challenging the perception that only French wines were of the highest quality. This event helped elevate the status of California wines on the global stage and is considered a pivotal moment in wine history. House Wine, in Worthington, modestly, recreates that moment in history with a tasting both American and French wines in a fun, casual atmosphere. Come at 6:45, pay your fee at the register and join your friends for this "Judgey" tasting. https://www.wineenthusiast.com/culture/wine/the-judgment-of-paris-turns-40/ Arrive when you can and we'll have a table for gathering. Feel free to bring your own food as it is welcomed at this local gem or order from the newly opened Worthington Inn, or local favorites such as Dewey's, Everest, Jet, Worthington Tavern and The Whitney. Each person pays their tasting fee, typically $15, and gets their wine glass, then approximately five pours of the wines being served. **Parking is tough**. Try the second lot behind House Wine accessed by the land by the back parking lot or the municipal lot one block north of House Wine. **Waiver and Liability and Attendance Policy.** Participation by you and your guests means you agree to the Waiver of Liability and Attendance Policies on our Group Page. People who have two more or Attendance policy violations are subject to removal from the group.

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8!
