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

QUANDO IL CLIENT CONTA: IL LATO INVISIBILE DI OPENSEARCH
QUANDO IL CLIENT CONTA: IL LATO INVISIBILE DI OPENSEARCH
OpenSearch è spesso al centro di **sistemi critici per business e infrastruttura**: search applicativa, log analytics, osservabilità, pipeline ad alto throughput. In questi contesti, **anche il client fa la differenza**: performance, affidabilità e sicurezza dipendono spesso da come interagiamo con il cluster. In parallelo, **Rust** sta emergendo come una delle scelte più interessanti per sviluppare componenti backend **veloci, sicuri e prevedibili**, grazie a un forte sistema di tipi, gestione esplicita degli errori e ottimo supporto all’asincronia. In questo meetup vedremo **come usare Rust in modo pratico con OpenSearch**, partendo dal client ufficiale e arrivando a un approccio più **type-safe ed espressivo** per la costruzione di query complesse. ​ **Agenda** (in aggiornamento) * 18:30 – 18:45 Arrivo e Check-In * 18:45 - 19:40 **OPENSEARCH E RUST: costruire client type-safe e performanti per la ricerca full-text (Alberto Paro)** * 19:40 - 20:10 **Community slot** *aperto a proposte dalla community* * 20:10– 20:30 Networking & Q&A * 20:30 : **Fine Evento** **Community slot – Call for Speakers aperta** Se hai un’idea per un talk breve e concreto su OpenSearch, search, observability o sistemi distribuiti, scrivici tramite Meetup o su Linkedin. Saremo felici di ospitarti come speaker. **RUST & OPENSEARCH: costruire client type-safe e performanti per la ricerca full-text** Rust sta diventando una scelta sempre più interessante anche per lo sviluppo di client applicativi ad alte prestazioni. In questo talk vedremo come applicarlo concretamente a OpenSearch, con un focus sulla costruzione di client robusti, sicuri e manutenibili. Partendo dalle basi di Rust realmente utili in questo contesto (ownership, error handling, async), **l’intervento mostrerà come utilizzare il client ufficiale OpenSearch in Rust per gestire connessioni, indicizzazione e query.** Nella seconda parte **verrà presentato opensearch-client, una libreria sviluppata dallo speaker che propone un approccio più espressivo e type-safe alla costruzione delle query**, riducendo boilerplate e il rischio di errori a runtime, soprattutto nei casi di query complesse. **Un talk,** molto concreto, con esempi reali e confronto diretto tra approcci diversi, **pensato per chi:** * **utilizza OpenSearch in produzione** e vuole ridurre errori a runtime e boilerplate * **lavora su sistemi ad alto carico** e valuta alternative più performanti ai client tradizionali * **è curioso di Rust e vuole capire quando e perché usarlo davvero in contesti reali** (Non è richiesta esperienza pregressa in Rust: le basi necessarie verranno introdotte nel contesto degli esempi). **Alberto Paro** è un esperto con oltre 20 anni di esperienza in Data & AI, specializzato in tecnologie Big Data, Cloud e AI. Attualmente è **Associate Director in Technology Architecture Delivery per Data & AI in Accenture,** con consolidata esperienza in vari settori, tra cui PA, finanza e telecomunicazioni. Ha ricoperto ruoli di CTO in diverse aziende e leader di pratiche Big Data, guidando progetti complessi basati su tecnologie NoSQL e soluzioni cloud su AWS, Google Cloud e Azure. È autore di cinque libri su ElasticSearch e numerose pubblicazioni su tecnologie Big Data e linguaggi di programmazione come Scala. La sua carriera include anche attività di formazione e consulenza a livello internazionale. OpenSearch Milan USERGROUP è una community tecnica che nasce per **condividere soluzioni reali**, problemi incontrati in produzione e scelte architetturali concrete. Dopo il talk ci sarà spazio per **Q&A, confronto aperto e networking**, perché spesso le idee migliori nascono proprio dalle discussioni informali tra persone che affrontano sfide simili. I meetup sono **bimestrali**. Ti aspettiamo! 📍 **LOCATION?** La sede che ospiterà il meetup (a Milano) è **in fase di definizione** e verrà comunicata qui su Meetup appena confermata.
Tech Startups in the Pub - Milan
Tech Startups in the Pub - Milan
🍻 **Join Us for Tech Startups in the Pub - Milan Edition!** 🍻 Hey there! 🌟 We'd love for you to join us for our next edition of *Tech Startups in the Pub,* this time in Milan, Italy! The event is scheduled for **6:30 PM local Italian time**. The platform does not allow us to change the time zone, so we can only create events with the GMT time, thus you will see the invitation for 7:30 PM, but you definitely want to come earlier. It's a relaxed evening at The O'Connell Irish Pub, and run by Volodymyr. We have been running for 3.5 years in London and we are excited to now run our monthly events in Milan as well, welcoming new folks to the community. Whether you're a tech founder, an enthusiast, a budding entrepreneur, or simply curious about the tech scene, you'll fit right in. This isn't about panels or pitching, just good old-fashioned networking with like-minded people over a drink on a Thursday evening. Important information about the location and time. **It is in the ZTL zone**, so please do not come by car. Please use public transport or walk. **House Rules:** * Find Volodymyr to introduce yourself so we can welcome you properly. The pub knows we are coming, so you should be able to find us easily. * No hard selling or heavy pitching. This is a chill, friendly after-work get-together. * Not drinking? No worries!

Computational Thinking with Jupyter & Causal Inference 🚀
Computational Thinking with Jupyter & Causal Inference 🚀
Ciao Pythonistas! 🐍 Get ready for our next **PyData Milano** gathering! We are back this January featuring two incredible talks that bridge the gap between learning to code and applying advanced data science in the real world. Join us for an evening of learning, networking. **🗓️ When:** Wednesday, January 28th **📍 Where:** TeamSystem **🎤 Talk 1: Learn Python with Jupyter** *By Serena Bonaretti (Independent Teacher & Researcher)* Are you tired of programming books that just teach syntax? Serena introduces a new approach. Instead of treating Python like a grammar book, her method uses **Jupyter Notebooks** to build **Computational Thinking**. We will explore how to move from concrete concepts to abstract reasoning, using narrative-driven code to truly master the language. *🔗 Check out her material: [www.learnpythonwithjupyter.com](https://www.learnpythonwithjupyter.com)* **🎤 Talk 2: From Correlation to Causation** *By Andrea Mosca (Senior Data Scientist @ Data Reply)* Predictive models are great, but they don't always tell you *why* something happens. Andrea will guide us through the world of **Causal Inference**, moving beyond standard machine learning. * **The Theory:** Why correlation is not enough for decision-making. * **The Practice:** Real-world applications like Price Elasticity and Uplift Models for marketing. * **The Goal:** Unlocking better decisions through cause-effect relationships. **🙏 Sponsors** A big thank you to **NumFOCUS** for supporting our community! RSVP now to save your spot. See you there! 👋 ⚠️ Is necessary to provide your actual name and surname and a valid email to receive the QR code to access the venue, no exceptions. 👻 Please unsubscribe in case you're not able to attend.

Azure CBUS February: Build Your Own MCP Server
Azure CBUS February: Build Your Own MCP Server
### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way? This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents. Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to: Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture. Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases. Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI. Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem. Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.

Azure CBUS January: Learn Infrastructure-as-Code Through Minecraft
## Learn Infrastructure-as-Code (the FUN Way) — Through Minecraft 🎮☁️ **Joint Meetup: Azure CBUS × Columbus HashiCorp User Group × DevOps Columbus** What if learning Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code didn’t feel like a whitepaper… but more like a game? Join us for a joint Azure CBUS, Columbus HashiCorp User Group, and DevOps Columbus meetup where **Mark Tinderholt** \(Principal Architect\, Microsoft Azure \| HashiCorp Ambassador \| “The Azure Terraformer”\) shows how **Minecraft** can be used as a surprisingly powerful way to understand real-world Infrastructure-as-Code concepts. In this session, Mark will demonstrate how Terraform and Azure can be used to provision, configure, and manage Minecraft servers—while teaching the same patterns you’d use for production cloud infrastructure. ### What we’ll cover * Infrastructure-as-Code fundamentals using **Terraform** * Provisioning real infrastructure on **Azure** * Applying **IaC best practices** (immutability, repeatability, versioning) * How playful environments like Minecraft make complex concepts *click* * Why learning through experimentation beats click-ops every time ### Who should attend * Developers, platform engineers, and cloud engineers * Terraform users (new or experienced) * Anyone curious about Infrastructure-as-Code but tired of boring examples * Minecraft fans who want to see it used in a totally unexpected way No prior Minecraft experience required—just curiosity and a willingness to learn infrastructure the fun way. Come for the blocks, stay for the Terraform. 🧱➡️📐 Want to be a speaker? submit your talk to our Call for Presenters!!! https://sessionize.com/azure-cbus-2026/
