Sono proprietario di un bar e dispongo di un tavolo da biliardo semi-professionale. Sto creando un gruppo WhatsApp di giocatori amatoriali di biliardo americano pool/carambola, per la maggior parte debuttanti. Cerco persone disposte a unirsi al gruppo per giocare e divertirsi nel tempo libero, il pomeriggio oppure la sera in ogni giorno. Per stimolare l'impegno di ogni giocatore, abbiamo pattuito che il vincitore di ogni "mini-torneo" organizzato nei vari giorni giochi gratis e non paghi la tariffa di tempo per il periodo di gioco (un'ora di gioco costa 10€, ma viene di volta in volta frazionata in base al periodo di gioco effettivo). Il locale si trova in zona nord di Milano, stazione Greco-Pirelli, università Bicocca. Chiunque dovesse essere davvero interessato a partecipare e unirsi al mio gruppo, non esiti a contattarmi. Cerco persone serie e disposte solamente a divertirsi, senza puntare mazzette grazie mille. Antonio

🌿✨ **L’Acqua di San Giovanni** ✨🌿 Una notte magica, un rito antico, un gesto semplice carico di significato. Ti invito a celebrare insieme la tradizione de *L’Acqua di San Giovanni*, un rituale antico legato al solstizio d’estate che unisce natura, benessere e spiritualità. 🌸 **Cos’è?** Un infuso naturale preparato la notte tra il 23 e il 24 giugno, simbolo di purificazione, fortuna e salute. 🌼 **Come vivremo l’esperienza insieme** 📅 **Data:** Martedi 23 giugno 🕖 **Orario:** dalle 19:00 alle 20:30 circa 📍 **Ritrovo:** Parco Nord (zona laghetto) Da qui dopo una breve introduzione sul rito, partiremo per una passeggiata alla scoperta di fiori ed erbe spontanee da raccogliere e utilizzare. Raccogliendo i fiori, ci connetteremo con la natura e la ringrazieremo per l'abbondanza. Ogni partecipante avrà a disposizione un sacchettino per la raccolta e **verrà comunque assicurato un sacchettino di erbe** ciascuna. Alla fine del giro ci raccoglieremo in cerchio per condividere il "raccolto", per esprimere le nostre sensazioni ed emozioni durante l'esperienza e per condividere le istruzioni sul rituale da continuare a casa. 🌙 **Il Rituale a casa** Immergi le erbe in una ciotola d’acqua e lasciale all’aperto sotto la luna durante la notte per raccogliere la rugiada. 💧 **Il Mattino del 24 giugno** Usa l’acqua per lavare viso e mani, come gesto simbolico di rinnovamento, protezione e buon auspicio. ✨ Secondo la tradizione, questo rito protegge dai malefici, preserva la salute e porta prosperità. 🍹 Per chi vorrà, dopo la raccolta sarà possibile fermarsi per un aperitivo al Bar "Sun Strac". ⚠️ **Cosa portare:** – Acqua per idratarsi – Spray anti zanzare \- telo da mettere sull'erba per il momento di condivisione 📍 Contributo Workshop 15 euro comprensivo di: \- guida alle erbe \- sacchettino con erbe \- condivisione ⛈⛈ in caso di maltempo l'evento verrà annullato e la quota restituita.

We also encourage people to go on the stage for a free drink if you have funny stories or jokes! It is a free entry but **donation based** show, leave us your donations at the end of the show so we can keep English standup comedy going in Milan. Follow us on instagram: **yellowdicomedy**

**ATTENTION** **The event is free, but in order to secure your spot, you have to register here** **[https://radixia.zohobackstage.eu/oc-03](https://radixia.zohobackstage.eu/oc-03 )** **Registered attendant will have priority entrance to the event** Halfway through 2026, OpenClaw is no longer a curiosity. The framework has moved into production: teams are running agents against real systems, the clone ecosystem continues to expand, and the conversations have shifted from "what is this" to "how do we operate it safely and at scale". After the strong response to our previous editions, we're back in Milano with the next chapter. This event combines the power of the cloud and the innovation of Agentic AI to explore how to bring claws into production. The event will be hosted at **Amazon Web Services** HQ in Milan. Whether you're already shipping agents in production, evaluating OpenClaw for a specific use case, or just want to understand where the ecosystem is headed, the session is built for engineers, architects, and tech leads working with AI agents day-to-day. ## **🔥 Agenda** **6:30–7:00 PM — Welcome & Networking** Opening, meetup presentation, and meeting networking. **7:00–7:45 PM — From personal agent to enterprise platform: why we built Ross** *Speaker: Giovanni Germani \-\- Head of Artificial Intelligence at Fastweb \+ Vodafone \| CEO @ NextMindLab* AI agents are rapidly moving from individual experimentation to increasingly mature forms of adoption, both in the consumer world and in the enterprise. With Ross, we started this journey by launching a global version as a secure B2C personal assistant, designed to make a useful, controlled, and reliable AI agent experience accessible to everyone. Now we are bringing this vision to the enterprise context as well, where requirements become more complex: governance, security, permission control, auditability, and a sustainable operating model. **7:45–8:30 PM — Inside Ross: toward an enterprise-grade AI agent, between secure runtime and integration platform** *Speaker: Mark Zampedroni -- Head of Product Development @ NextMindLab* Building an enterprise-grade AI agent doesn't simply mean taking an autonomous agent and putting it into production. It means progressively designing an ecosystem in which the model can act on enterprise systems in a useful, controlled, observable, and secure way. In this talk, we will describe the journey through which we are transforming Ross, our enterprise-grade version of OpenClaw, from an evolved prototype into a corporate asset ready for real-world scenarios. Part of the work has already been completed: controlled runtime, tool orchestration, execution isolation, action tracing, and initial governance mechanisms. Another part is still under construction: an increasingly solid permission management model, end-to-end auditability, operational security, and scalability across enterprise use cases. Particular focus will be dedicated to the creation of a dedicated platform to connect enterprise applications to Ross in a simple, standardized, and secure way. The goal is to enable teams to quickly integrate internal systems, APIs, workflows, and data sources, reducing technical complexity while maintaining centralized control over authorizations, credentials, logging, and usage policies. The talk will therefore offer a concrete look at what we have already built, the architectural choices we are consolidating, and the open challenges still ahead in bringing AI agents "with hands" into an enterprise context. **8:30–9:00 PM — Networking and Happy Hour** ## **💡 Why join?** After the first OpenClaw meetup in Milan, we're growing our community with this second event. We want to be your landing point for agent and OpenClaw development in Milano. Focused on business and devs, and everything that makes our claws thrive: * Understand why OpenClaw is accelerating in 2026 * See real-world use cases in action * Get hands-on experience in a supportive environment * Connect with Milan's emerging OpenClaw community * Find inspiration for your next project Bring your curiosity. Claws are on us 🦞🔥 **ATTENTION** **The event is free, but in order to secure your spot, you have to register here** **[https://radixia.zohobackstage.eu/oc-03](https://radixia.zohobackstage.eu/oc-03)** **Registered attendant will have priority entrance to the event**

🔍 **Description** Dai discorsi di apertura alle chiacchierate informali, Platmosphere ha lasciato una scia di idee. Questo meetup riassume le conversazioni che hanno suscitato maggiore interesse e spiega perché stanno influenzando l'evoluzione delle piattaforme e dei AI-native teams. * **Dal "Vibe Coding" al "Vibe Engineering"**: come abbandonare la generazione caotica di codice tramite prompt estemporanei per passare a un approccio ingegneristico governato, focalizzato sul definire il comportamento atteso del software e sul gestire in sicurezza il codice scritto dagli agenti AI. * **Il Dato come Fondamenta dell'AI (Data Fabric):** L'intelligenza artificiale non può funzionare su dati grezzi o silos isolati, ma richiede un'infrastruttura in tempo reale, pulita e arricchita di metadati per evitare fallimenti e operare in totale sicurezza operativa. * **Compliance-by-Design**: La compliance (come AI Act, GDPR e normative di settore) smette di essere un freno burocratico a valle dello sviluppo e diventa un requisito architetturale nativo automatizzato direttamente nei flussi della piattaforma. * **Composable Enterprise e Orchestrazione**: Per scalare la fiducia e la velocità di mercato, le aziende devono incapsulare le loro logiche in moduli riutilizzabili (Packaged Business Capabilities) orchestrati attraverso ecosistemi aperti, abbattendo i colli di bottiglia storici tra i vari team. * **Osservabilità e FinOps per gli Agenti AI**: L'adozione di agenti AI richiede l'estensione dei framework di monitoraggio per tracciare percorsi decisionali non-deterministici e l'integrazione di sistemi FinOps predittivi per controllare i costi nascosti legati al consumo di token. 🎙️**Speaker - Giulio Roggero** 25 anni di esperienza in software engineering, imprenditore seriale con oltre 10 iniziative imprenditoriali lanciate; oggi è co-founder e CTO di Mia-Platform de AI-Native Developer Platform Foundation nominata da Gartner “Cool Vendor” per Software Engineering Technologies e inserita nel Magic Quadrant delle piattaforme applicative cloud. Aree di interesse principali: AI, cloud native, platform engineering, data fabric ed omnichannel experience. Ama dipingere miniature di Blood Bowl, costruire con i Lego, assemblare e guidare modellini di auto radiocomandate e imparare a suonare il pianoforte. **📝 Agenda** * **18.15**: Accesso e Networking (iniziamo a conoscerci!) * **18:30:** Welcome * **18:45**: Talk * **19:30:** Q&A * **19:45:** Pizza and drinks Nessun meetup è completo senza un momento conviviale. Durante la serata saranno offerte **bevande, birra e pizza** per facilitare il networking e continuare le discussioni in modo informale. **⚠️ Nota importante:** I posti sono limitati per garantire la qualità della conversazione durante la tavola rotonda. Assicurati di fare RSVP il prima possibile! **Ti aspettiamo per dare forma insieme al futuro dello sviluppo software!** **Se arrivi dopo le 18.45 chiama il numero 0258100828 per farti aprire**

**Hello PyData People!** We are excited to announce our next event of 2026! This time, we will be hosted at **FlixBus Italia**'s headquarters in Milan for an evening dedicated to X 📅 **When:** Tuesday, June 23rd, 2026 – 18:30–21:00 📍 **Where:** FlixBus Italia, Corso Como 11, 20154 Milan ⚠️ **Important:** Spots are limited. Please keep your RSVP updated to allow others to participate if you can no longer attend. \*\*\* **🕒 Agenda** * **18:30:** 🚪 Doors open & Check-in * **19:00:** 🎤 **Talk 1:** Process geographical data in Python – Jacopo Farina * **19:45:** 🎤 **Talk 2:** Symbolic Differentiation of Matrices and N-Dimensional Arrays in SymPy – Francesco Bonazzi * **20:30:** 🍕 **Networking & Social Dinner** \*\*\* **🎤 The Talks** **1️⃣ Process geographical data in Python** Speaker: Jacopo Farina (Staff Data Engineer @ FlixBus) In this talk, we are going to see how to process data from OpenStreetMap, public transport data (like the schedule from ATM) and other sources to calculate travel distances in a city, find addresses, find where and when people are using bike sharing (BikeMI) and nice things that can be done with this data. We are also going to see what OSM is and how it represents geographical data, how this data can be imported and used in Python (using PostGIS or DuckDB), how to process it and how to display the results. About the Speaker: Jacopo Farina is a data engineer at Flixbus, where he works on the demand forecasting, and a teacher at the Data Science Retreat in Berlin. Previously he worked on the backend using Node.js, reporting and ETL. \*\*\* **2️⃣ Symbolic Differentiation of Matrices and N-Dimensional Arrays in SymPy** Speaker: Francesco Bonazzi (PhD in Physics and Software Developer @ Intesa Sanpaolo) Numerical frameworks such as PyTorch and JAX routinely compute matrix and tensor gradients via reverse-mode automatic differentiation (backpropagation) to train neural networks. By contrast, there has been a notable absence of symbolic implementations that produce exact, closed-form gradient expressions interpretable and well-suited to further algebraic manipulation. SymPy, an open-source computer algebra system written in Python, now provides comprehensive support for symbolic differentiation of matrices and N-dimensional arrays. The implementation gives users flexibility to work with either matrices or arrays, which can be handled in two ways: explicitly, by defining each component individually, or implicitly, as symbolic expressions. In the explicit case, the derivation algorithm is straightforward: the derivatives essentially amount to nested loops over the array dimensions. By contrast, the implicit algorithm is considerably more intricate, especially when deriving expressions that involve matrices. After outlining the key aspects of this algorithmic design, the talk showcases its practical value through selected examples that illustrate how closed-form symbolic matrix and tensor gradients can provide valuable insights and enable exact computations in various applications. About the Speaker: Francesco Bonazzi is a software developer and core maintainer of SymPy, a Python computer algebra system. He has contributed extensively to the library's physics, matrix algebra, tensor algebra, and probability modules. Currently, he works at Intesa Sanpaolo, focusing on the research and implementation of generative AI. Francesco holds a PhD in Physics and previously served as a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Colloids and Interfaces in Germany and North Carolina State University in the U.S. \*\*\* **See you there! 🚀** **The PyData Milano Team**

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).
