Salva in agenda 🗓 Martedì 30 giugno 2026 ⏰ 19:00 – 21:00 - puntuali :) 📍 Terrazza RUF - Via Fanfulla da Lodi 22 La serata si terrà presso il RUF - Rifugio urbano Fanfulla, una struttura nel cuore del Pigneto dedicata all'hospitality e agli eventi. **IMPORTANTE:** All'arrivo sarà necessario fare la tessera associativa per RUF del costo di 5 euro (non inclusa nel biglietto) che dà la possibilità di partecipare anche agli altri eventi presso la struttura che ci ospita. Ci saranno drink e stuzzichini per tutti/e offerti da noi :) 🎟 Posti limitati (la terrazza è di piccole dimensioni, quindi consigliamo di acquistare in anticipo perché non sarà possibile aggiungere persone oltre il limite di capienza). Il libro scelto dalla Community per giugno è 📖 **I baffi di Carrere** Un uomo si rade i baffi dopo anni, ma la moglie e gli amici fingono di non notare il cambiamento e negano che li abbia mai avuti. Questo scatena una spirale paranoica che distrugge le sue certezze e la sua identità **✨ Rituale di Book Swapping al buio** **È fondamentale portare almeno un libro per poter partecipare allo swapping.** 📚 Il libro deve essere: – incartato (senza titolo visibile) – accompagnato da una frase che ne descriva l’atmosfera – nuovo o usato (non è importante) – appartenente alla narrativa, romanzi o saggi **⚠️ Non sono ammessi manuali o libri tecnici poco affini alla lettura di piacere.** **⚠️ ATTENZIONE: se non porti un libro da scambiare non potrai prenderne uno durante lo swapping :)** **Seguici su Instagram per non perderti nessun aggiornamento: [Pignetismi](https://www.instagram.com/pignetismi/ "https://www.instagram.com/pignetismi/") e [Pignetismi Book Club](https://www.instagram.com/pignetismibookclub/ "https://www.instagram.com/pignetismibookclub/")** **[Leggi la nostra newsletter per review, libri, film aggiornamenti](https://pignetismi.substack.com/ "https://pignetismi.substack.com/")** **A presto! :)** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- If you’re looking for a place to share your passion for reading, have meaningful conversations and meet new international friends in Rome, you should join the [Pignetismi Book Club](https://www.instagram.com/pignetismibookclub/ "https://www.instagram.com/pignetismibookclub/") :) An event dedicated to books, sharing and connection — a chance to meet new people or reconnect with friends from the community who are already part of the Book Club.

The book chosen by the community for June is: 📖 ***The Mustache* by Emmanuel Carrère** A man shaves off the mustache he has worn for years, but his wife and friends pretend not to notice the change and deny he ever had one.

The goal is the gain insight but keep the info limited so the tour ends in 90 mins. Participants will likely remember the presentations and won't feel overwhelmed with TMI that can easily be found on wikipedia or through AI. ITINERARY : Spanish Steps, Sallustian Obelisk and the revolution of Rome's city planning, Aqua Virgo, Trevi Fountain, Galleria Alberto Sordi, Pantheon Piazza Navona DISTANCE: 1\.87 km \| 1\.16 miDuration: 2 hrs TIP-BASED tour: You pay what you want at the end. If you pay based on your satisfaction, you encourage quality work and discourage substandard work. RSVP: There are other people who book this tour through other platforms. In order to avoid needlessly delaying the start of the tour please confirm or cancel your participation on the tour day by messaging me.

Sei un remote worker? Uno studente? Un freelance? Ti serve un luogo calmo dove lavorare senza distrazioni, senza pressione, e allo stesso tempo socializzare? Remote Circle è una routine di lavoro condivisa e silenziosa. Iscriviti all'evento e presentati nel luogo indicato. L’atmosfera è essenziale: tavoli condivisi, ritmo lento, concentrazione naturale. Si lavora in autonomia, ma non da soli. Rimani il tempo che ti serve: l’incontro è flessibile, discreto, operativo. Remote Circle non è un workshop e non è coworking. È un appuntamento leggero, replicabile, pensato per creare continuità senza esposizione.

T-R-E-D-I-C-E-S-I-M-O compleanno della community! In occasione di questo evento speciale, rompiamo la regola del terzo mercoledì del mese: anticipiamo il meetup a sabato 4 Luglio dalle 9 alle 13:00. Tre talk, due lightning talk, un coffee break e tantissimo networking. Venite a festeggiare con noi questo special event e a chiudere la stagione prima della pausa estiva! *** **AGENDA** 09:00 Apertura porte 09:15 Introduzione 09:20 *The DevOps Antipattern Show* \- Serena Sensini 10:10 Lightning Talk 10:20 Coffee break 11:00 *Project Destino: Doom In The Terminal with Node.js and OpenTUI* \- Paolo Insogna 11:50 Lightning Talk 12:00 Total Recall: l'AI che ricorda davvero - Edoardo Dusi 12:50 Chiusura, saluti, e si va a pranzo! *** **Talks** **The DevOps Antipattern Show**, by Serena Sensini Lavorare in un'azienda che lavora su domini business-critical può portare a situazioni "interessanti", in cui il pensiero critico e l'esperienza nell'architettura software possono essere l'unica via per salvare un progetto. Perché non usare queste esperienze per ridere e imparare qualcosa, facendo una retrospettiva sul lavoro fatto e mettendo in luce gli anti-pattern DevOps reali in contesti aziendali? Dalle eroiche implementazioni manuali ai silos, fino alla priorità data agli strumenti rispetto alle persone. Ogni "cattiva abitudine" viene analizzata con storie, mimi e soluzioni concrete da applicare già da domani, per imparare cosa smettere di fare da domani. **Project Destino: Doom In The Terminal with Node.js and OpenTUI**, by Paolo Insogna In this talk, I’ll take you through the strange and surprisingly fun journey behind Project Destino: a proof of concept to run Doom entirely inside the terminal using Node.js. What started as a joke — “what if we ran Doom in the terminal with Node.js?” — slowly turned into a real experiment in terminal graphics, native interoperability, and runtime performance. I’ll show how I combined doomgeneric, OpenTUI, node:ffi, and SDL_mixer to build a fully interactive terminal-based Doom experience, with Node.js acting as the coordinator between rendering, input handling, audio, and the native game engine itself. **Total Recall: l'AI che ricorda davvero**, by Edoardo Dusi Sei uno sviluppatore oggi? Ti hanno sicuramente chiesto di portare "l'AI in produzione". Integrarlo con i nostri contenuti, costruire qualcosa che risponda davvero con dati reali, aggiornati e affidabili, limitando le allucinazioni. Se non te lo hanno ancora chiesto, te lo chiederanno. O tu cercherai un lavoro dove questa competenza sarà importante. E allora, questo talk è un percorso alla scoperta dei vector database e della RAG, dalla keyword alla semantic search, dal BM25 alla vector similarity, fino a una pipeline di retrieval completa. E se abbiamo tempo, pure con una demo live. Perché conoscendo meglio la RAG potrai aumentare la RAL. *** **Community: sociale e circolarità** Il coworking **[Millepiani](https://www.millepiani.eu/)** è uno spazio offerto dal VIII Municipio di Roma e gestito dall'associazione Millepiani APS, il cui obiettivo è quello di favorire lo sviluppo di una comunità collaborativa ed autogestita, che accoglie ogni giorno nuovi freelancer, imprese, associazioni, startup, sostenendo gratuitamente chi è colpito professionalmente dalla precarietá o dalle emergenze, avvalendosi del supporto dei membri e delle associazioni. Un impegno concreto sul territorio romano, che si coniuga perfettamente con i valori del RomaJS. Anche per il coffee break ci affidiamo a produttori locali che avremo il piacere di annunciarvi a breve.

09:00 – 10:00 ☕ Informal networking 10:00 – 12:00 💻 Optional laptop coworking Some of us will bring our laptops and work side by side, while others may simply stay to chat and connect ## About the Meet-Up I’m an independent author and entrepreneur based in Rome, working 100% remotely. A couple of years ago I created this meet-up to bring together women who work from home or independently, so we can connect, inspire one another, and spend time in a safe, welcoming environment outside the home office. This gathering is for women freelancers, entrepreneurs, and remote workers who would like to meet like-minded women in Rome. It’s a relaxed space to exchange experiences, share ideas, recharge, and feel part of a supportive community. During the meet-up, I’ll host a short, informal moment where each participant can: * Briefly introduce her business, project, or current focus The theme of this event is: **Slowing down for the summer — or not?** This is a chance to meet inspiring women, have meaningful conversations, find new collaborators or clients, and enjoy the energy of being together. This is an informal and free meet-up, genuinely created to bring women remote workers together in the beautiful, chaotic, sometimes challenging jungle we call home: Rome. Since we are kindly hosted by the venue at no mandatory cost, please support them by purchasing a drink or something small. Please be punctual :)

🔥 **LA RIVOLUZIONE INTERIORE: Il tuo primo atto di resilienza** **…“Viviamo in un mondo dove siamo tutti interconnessi, e quindi il bene o il male che facciamo a un altro finiamo per farlo a noi stessi. Bisogna quindi imparare a cooperare invece di competere indiscriminatamente. E se non ora quando?”... Federico Faggin** **Perché farlo:** Difronte alla **disintegrazione e al cinismo** la nostra risposta è **una rivoluzione interiore** che si esprime in **solidarietà e resistenza nonviolenta.** Qui alleniamo **azioni valide,** quelle che rafforzano l’unità interna e riducono contraddizione e sofferenza, dentro e fuori di noi. ### **🌱 IL NOSTRO PERCORSO SETTIMANALE è l'allenamento per la Doppia Rivoluzione: Interna e del mondo che ci circonda.** * **Pratiche di consapevolezza:** Impariamo a connetterci con la parte più vera e profonda di noi. * **Autoconoscenza:** Conosci te stesso, fai **pace** con il passato, **trasforma** il presente**, costruisci il futuro**. Qui rompiamo le catene della paura e della violenza che ci tengono bloccati. 🫂 **LA FORZA NELL'UNIONE: si cresce insieme!** * **RELAZIONI AUTENTICHE:** Spazi di ascolto sincero, condivisione e mutuo sostegno. **Non c’è rivoluzione senza comunità.** Ci alleniamo a compiere azioni che rafforzano l’unità e riducono la contraddizione, dentro e fuori di noi. * **PROGETTAZIONE E AZIONE SOLIDALE:** La nostra consapevolezza interiore si trasforma in **azione nonviolenta e solidale**. Insieme pensiamo e costruiamo iniziative concrete e comunità che sfidano la logica del potere e del consumo, riportando l'essere umano al centro. ### **Cosa troverai qui** * **Un cammino,** non un corso da seguire. Non si viene solo a “prendere”: qui si cresce insieme. **La Regola d’Oro come bussola etica.** * Un contesto del tutto non-confessionale e aperto a ogni forma di ateismo, spiritualità e provenienza religiosa. * **Un ambiente libero** dove puoi crescere davvero, uno spazio in cui crescano la gentilezza, il buon umore e la sincerità interiore. * **Persone con cui praticare, dialogare, fare nuove esperienze, condividere momenti di festa e di silenzio.** **🚫 Cosa NON è** * **❌ Non è psicoterapia** *** ### **🔄 Come partecipare** **Ci incontriamo ogni settimana a Roma e online.** **COME PRENOTARE: se interessati, oltre a segnarvi nell'evento, è FONDAMENTALE PRENOTARSI SU TELEGRAM o WHATSAPP al +393461476543** **POSTI: 20 (RSVP obbligatorio)** **QUANDO si svolge**: tutti i sabato dalle ore 11,00 alle 13,00. **A CHI E' RIVOLTO**: **a giovani fino a 30 anni di età.** **GLI EVENTI SONO GRATUITI**: tutte le attività sono gratuite, ma si richiede, dopo il primo incontro di prova, un contributo annuale di 20€ per coprire le spese per i materiali, i social, la sala e spese varie. **COSA PORTARE:** curiosità, rispetto, un quaderno dove annotare le difficoltà e i progressi.

This is a practical evening workshop on Nonviolent Communication. You'll learn the four-step NVC model and practise it with real situations in a small group. NVC gives you a way to say what you feel and need without blame and without putting the other person on the defensive. It works at home, at work, or anywhere a conversation matters. It is free to attend and we will make you feel welcome with a free drink. My name's Julie Blint and I'm a EMCC qualified coach. The event will be held in English, but I speak Italian as well!

**🏛️ WHAT'S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT?** Practical Philosophy is a weekly meet-up that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic, practice communicating, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge required! 😎 Practical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy should be accessible to all, and not something reserved only for academics. Each week we choose a topic, and the goal is to use the conversation to develop our critical thinking and communication as we explore that topic. The goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking, Communication, and Community 🙌 📓 **HOW DOES IT WORK?** Each week, we pick one topic and discuss it. The topic for the week is shared, generally in the [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IyNlkFij4sJ7yDEWPmOG31?mode=gi_t), along with jump-off points to get the conversation going. When groups get bigger than 7-8 people, it’s important that we break into smaller groups. This way we are able to maintain a conversational flow as opposed to having our meetups feel like a discourse or lecture. **General Meeting Agenda** Each Practical Philosophy meet-up follows this general timeline: * 16:00-17:15 - People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the ‘official' start. * 16:15-17:25 - Meeting introduction, explanation of Practical Philosophy and the topic for the week, read the guidelines and the overview so attendees know what to expect in terms of timelines. * 16:25-17:45 - Break into small groups - introduce yourselves and general thoughts on the topic, open discussion afterwards. At this point the group can review the ‘jump-off’ questions as needed, but they are just there to help guide the conversation. It’s not obligatory to answer them. * 17:45-18:00 - Bring everyone back together to discuss conclusions of the topic - each group gives a short 1-minute summary. Organizer concludes the meeting and everyone takes a group photo. * 18:00 - The official meeting is over but it’s a great opportunity to get to know people in a non-structured environment, so we often stick around, chat, and get to know each other. **🧧PRICING?** Practical Philosophy Club is FREE to attend! We just ask that if we are meeting in a café, buy a beverage! Some chapters rent a space for us to meet, and they may ask for donations to help contribute to the cost of rent. Donations will always be 100% voluntary though! **💛 WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY** 🗣 “I feel like Philosophy Club helps someone build their own belief system through a series of perspectives while not promoting what’s right and wrong” - Ekam 🗣 “I got hooked from day 1 (the topic was authority) and felt it was the right place for me. I feel it is a place where people can go to learn and discuss new perspectives and increase critical thinking and community by interacting with people who might challenge your point of views but at the same time encourage you to have openness and mind flexibility.” - Daniel **🤓 FAQ** * ​What will we talk about? What's the topic? ​The topic for the week is shared every Sunday in the Whatsapp group. We try to add the topic to the comment section on this event page as well but if you don’t see it, the topic and the jump-off points will be in our [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IyNlkFij4sJ7yDEWPmOG31?mode=gi_t). * Do I need to study or read anything to attend? No preparation is necessary. This isn’t a study of other thinkers. We want to know what YOU think about the topic, not what an old philosopher thought. If you have a perspective from a religion or a school of thought to share, throw it on the table and we’ll discuss it, but it's not required. * Is there a specific philosophy that Practical Philosophy is focused on? The goal of our meet-ups is to not have dogmatic discussions, and flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this, we want to hear from every realm of thought, and don't study a particular school. * Is it mostly men that attend? Surprisingly, no! Although philosophy is seen as a Candelabra affair in a dark room with a bunch of guys, our Practical Philosophy meetups are generally 50/50 between genders, and we don’t meet in any dark rooms. * Can I come alone? Of course you can, we encourage it :) * Can I be late? Please don't be! We do have a 15 minute grace period where we allow people to funnel in while we hang out, but after that if you arrive too late, it disrupts the flow of the conversation. * Where do you meet? The location is posted in Meetup and our [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IyNlkFij4sJ7yDEWPmOG31?mode=gi_t) group for this location. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you join the Whatsapp group! If you want to know what other cities have a Practical Philosophy Club, you can see our chapters on our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/practical-philosophy-locations/). **🤝POLICY** To respect our members privacy, we ask that no one privately message a member without first getting explicit consent. (This looks like speaking in person and being asked to message privately. Contacting or texting other participants without prior consent is not permitted and may result in removal from the group. Practical Philosophy reserves the right to enforce this policy at its discretion to maintain a safe and respectful **PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY - Making Philosophy Available To All. ✨** Practical Philosophy hosts weekly, in-person meetups in over 35 countries, including Canada, Spain, Japan, Mexico and many more! 🗺️ \*\*\* Join our [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IyNlkFij4sJ7yDEWPmOG31?mode=gi_t) 👈 Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/practicalphilosophyclub/) 👈 Our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/) 👈

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability.

You can sleep in on the Sesquicentennial (observed), we’re shifting to the following Friday. But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to. Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.

We have moved to guild.host. Look us up there. https://guild.host/events/buckeye-cocoaheads-rcavwd

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!

**Hello Columbus!** **The community is buzzing and growing well. We are thrilled to bring our fourth BrowserStack QA Meetup on Thursday, July 9th!** We are creating a space for deeper insights, meaningful connections, and a vibe you won't want to miss. **What to expect:** * **Connect:** Network with Columbus' top engineering and QA minds. * **Learn:** Real-world tactics and trends you can use immediately. * **Enjoy:** Food, drinks, and great community spirit. **Agenda** * **Two Roads Diverged in a Wood: Docker Compose vs. Kubernetes** by **[Doug Reeder](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pdouglasreeder/)** **RSVP Essential:** Space is limited, and we want to ensure a great experience for everyone. **RSVP now to secure your spot!** 📍 **Venue:** Leading EDJE, 6515 Longshore Loop, Suite 300, Dublin, OH 43017 📍 **Free Parking:** 6725 Longshore Street, Dublin, OH 43017 📅 **Date & Time:** July 9, 6:00 PM **Stay Connected!** Want to continue the conversation beyond the meetup? Join our **BrowserStack Discord Server** to get updates, connect with fellow QA professionals, and be part of an ongoing discussion. **Don’t miss out—click below to join!** 🔗 [\[](https://discord.gg/6SdCyWTNyW)**[Join the BrowserStack Discord Server](https://discord.gg/6SdCyWTNyW)**[\]](https://discord.gg/6SdCyWTNyW) **A Few Notes:** ✅ This is an **in-person event** ✅ **RSVP does not guarantee a seat** – A confirmation email will be sent one day before the event. **TALK ABSTRACT:** Docker Compose and Kubernetes are two of the most popular tools for running containerized applications. Their feature lists are similar. Architects and senior developers need to know how their different paradigms lead to unexpectedly different experiences in production.

The topic for July is "Shoes" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
