Dear all, we’re back with the PyData meetups, focused as always on sharing best practice, methodologies, analysis, machine learning systems, .., with the open-source projects of the [NumFOCUS](https://numfocus.org/sponsored-projects) program — but not only! We’ll meet **#InPresence on Thursday, June 18 at 7:00 PM**. We’ll be hosted by [Anda Venice Hostel](https://www.andavenice.com/) in the Medusa Room and, for those who cannot join us, it will also be on YouTube in **#streaming**. 👥 We’ll have two interesting sessions one in Italian 🇮🇹 and one in English 🇬🇧: 🗣 [Fabio Lamanna](www.fabiolamanna.it), one of *PyData Venice* founders, will present an analysis of the real impact of "Bologna **#City30**", the 30 km/h limit, using **#FloatingCarData** (**#FCD**) with **#QGIS** and #Python to compare pre/post driving speeds and measure how much the city respects the new limit. 🗣 [Claudio Giancaterino](https://www.linkedin.com/in/claudiods/) will show a **#MultiAgent** system that turns car damage photos into an insurance claim assessment in minutes, where an Orchestrator coordinates a Vision Agent (**#GPT-5.2**), OEM/Aftermarket Cost Estimation Agents (**#Perplexity**), and a Shop Finder Agent, each running a transparent **#ReAct** reasoning loop to return damage severity, comparative repair costs, and recommended shops. And afterwards\, for those who want\, we’ll stay there for \( 🍸 \| 🍺 \) & \( 🍕 \| 🍔 \) and **#networking** until late ‼️ 📽 And if you’d like to share ideas, projects, topics, or propose yourself as the next speaker, here’s the usual [Google form](https://forms.gle/rVMWxFnodHaNb9ab9) or [Sessionize](https://sessionize.com/pydata-venice-2025-12-18) !

🌳💻 Poziv na 10. ZGBit: Digitalna rješenja za zeleni Zagreb Dragi svi, pozivamo vas na 10. ZGBit, u organizaciji Gradskog ureda za digitalizaciju, nove tehnologije i tehničke poslove Grada Zagreba, koji ovoga puta posvećujemo temi: 👉 Kako digitalna rješenja mogu pomoći gradovima u prilagodbi klimatskim promjenama Klimatske promjene i urbanizacija sve više utječu na kvalitetu života u gradovima. Jedan od izazova s kojima se suočava i Zagreb je pojava urbanih toplinskih otoka – područja u kojima su temperature znatno više zbog izgrađenosti i nedostatka zelenih površina. Na ovom ZGBit-u predstavit ćemo kako Grad Zagreb koristi koncept digitalnog blizanca grada za analizu urbanih toplinskih otoka, planiranje sadnje drveća i razvoj učinkovitijih mjera ozelenjivanja gradskih površina. 🔍 Što vas očekuje? • predstavljanje projekta digitalnog blizanca Grada Zagreba kao alata za prilagodbu klimatskim promjenama • prikaz kako podaci i digitalna rješenja mogu pomoći u planiranju zelenih površina i smanjenju učinaka urbanih toplinskih otoka • međunarodni primjer dobre prakse iz Norveške • pregled mogućnosti suradnje između javnog sektora, stručnjaka, građana i inovacijske zajednice u stvaranju zelenijeg i otpornijeg grada 🤝 Događaj je namijenjen: • predstavnicima gradova i javne uprave • stručnjacima iz područja urbanog planiranja, GIS-a, zaštite okoliša i digitalizacije • članovima IT, startup i inovacijske zajednice • predstavnicima akademske i istraživačke zajednice • svim građanima zainteresiranima za održivi razvoj i budućnost Zagreba 📍 Lokacija: Zagrebački energetski centar (ZEC), Maksimirska cesta 51 📅 Datum i vrijeme: 18. lipnja 2026. u 17:00 sati Događaj se održava uz podršku Veleposlanstva Kraljevine Norveške u RH. Dođite i saznajte kako digitalna rješenja mogu pomoći u stvaranju zelenijeg, otpornijeg i ugodnijeg Zagreba za život. Vidimo se na 10. ZGBit-u!

Zagreb language and culture exchange meetup. Chat in many languages, meet new people and plan adventures together. Hey everyone! 👋 As spring arrives in Zagreb and the city wakes up again, we’re keeping Thursdays social with **Small Friday International Zagreb** ([SFIZ.FUN](https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb/)) a relaxed international meetup where locals, expats, Erasmus students and travellers gather to chat, exchange languages, share stories and plan the next adventure. Think of it as Zagreb’s global living room with lively conversations, and that moment when a random Thursday evening decides to surprise you. ✨ Whether you’ve just arrived in Zagreb, been here a while, or live around the corner, you’re very welcome. 📍 **When & Where** 📍 **The Beertija** Pavla Hatza 16, Zagreb 🕗 **Every other Thursday from 8PM** ✨ Free to join: simply grab a drink and support our host bar 🍺🎸 ✨ Open to everyone: all ages, backgrounds and language levels 💬 **What Happens at [SFIZ.FUN](https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb/)**? Expect a relaxed, social atmosphere where conversations flow naturally. 🗣️ La**nguage Exchange** English, Croatian, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Ukrainian, Russian… and often more. 🌍 **Cultural Exchange** Locals, expats, travellers and Erasmus students sharing stories, experiences and perspectives. 🤝 **New Connections** Real conversations, genuine laughs, and the occasional new friend. 📅 **Weekend Planning** People often end up planning hikes, concerts, trips, festivals or nights out together. No formal structure, no pressure, just people meeting people. 🌸 **Why Join in Spring?** Spring is when Zagreb truly comes alive. Magnolia trees bloom across the city, café terraces fill with conversation, and longer sunny days invite people outdoors. Locals stroll through parks, cycle along the Sava, run around Jarun and Bundek lakes, or escape to the nearby Medvednica mountain for hikes and views above the city. At the same time, Zagreb’s cultural calendar blossoms with exhibitions, concerts, festivals and theatre performances, while markets like Dolac overflow with seasonal produce: asparagus, wild garlic, strawberries and fresh flavours of the season. It’s the perfect time to meet people and explore the city together. And many of those plans begin right here, at [SFIZ.FUN](https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb/). 🌍 🍺 **Why The Beertija?** Because it’s more than a bar, it’s our headquarters. Expect: 🌿 leafy terrace vibes 🎸 rock-inspired atmosphere 🍺 excellent beers 🛋️ relaxed living-room energy 🚭 non-smoking indoor space It’s the kind of place where you pop in for one drink and suddenly realise the evening flew by. 💡 **First-Timer Tip** If it’s your first time: 👋 arrive early 🙂 smile and say hello 💬 jump into a conversation Everyone was new once and that’s how all starts. 🌍 **Join the Crew** [SFIZ.FUN](https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb/) is a community built by the people who show up. So if your Thursday evening could use a little more conversation, laughter and international energy, come by and join us. Bring a friend if you like, or come solo and meet new ones. ✨Ditch the screen, grab a drink, meet the world🌍 See you on Small Friday! 🍻 **SFIZ Crew** P.S. Spread the word https://sites.google.com/view/smallfridayinternationalzagreb 🔎 **How to Spot Us** New here?

Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Amrita Rani (Live in-person and online on selected Thursdays via Zoom) You are warmly invited to join the Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Acharya Amrita Rani — a living space of awakenings and direct experience. These sessions are created both for beginners and seasoned practitioners who wish to deepen their meditation practice, stabilize awakening, and walk the path of enlightenment with guidance and support. Whether you are new or experienced, each gathering offers a grounded structure to help you build consistency in daily practice and grow in confidence on your spiritual path. At the heart of Open Heart teachings is direct recognition. Through the Two-Part Formula and precise meditative guidance, you are supported in shifting from self-based mode into selfless awareness, again and again, until cessation of suffering takes place. A central and deeply transformative practice in Open Heart is guru yoga. Through guru yoga, the practitioner directly connects with awakened awareness through devotion, transmission, and experiential recognition. With the help of this profound method, one recognizes their true selfless ease, the natural, effortless state beyond space and time. Alongside guru yoga, the sessions include insight meditation (Vipashyana), tantric methods, dynamic concentration, trauma-healing techniques, and foundational practices such as Bodhicitta prayers. Each session includes guided meditation, space for questions, reflection, and personal support. Rani’s meditation sessions are held live on Zoom on selected Thursdays from 18:30 to 20:00 (CET). Recordings may be available for continued integration and practice on her YouTube channel, The Sweetness of Enlightenment. Participation fee: 15 € per session Please make your payment in advance via PayPal before joining, to Rani’s PayPal account: kaisaeskeli@gmail.com Upcoming Thursday Sessions for Spring and Summer Season: 7.5.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 14.5.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 4.6.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 11.6.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 18.6.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 25.6.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 2.7.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 9.7.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 23.7.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) 30.7.2026 at 18:30–20:00 (CET) Zoom link for all sessions: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89766267672 Open Heart ashram (meditation center) is located in Zgornje Gorje, Slovenia.
