## What weâre about
Buongiorno a tutti. 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 10âŹ, 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, universitĂ 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.

Dear Microsoft Swiss PSUG,
We have planned another exciting event.
**Place & Language:**
Place: Isolutions AG, The Circle 38, 8058 ZĂźrich (Hybrid with Teams)
Language: EN
**Session 1: Automated deployment of Azure SQL VM with PowerShell**
Description:
If you need to deploy (almost fully) automated an Azure SQL VM on a frequent basis, this session may be for you. You can use PowerShell, a language that a lot SQL Server DBAs know; and you can use your knowledge of this language for your advantage, so that you have an infrastructure as code solution to deploy your Azure SQL Server. I am going to show you how to do this, including restoring a SQL Server from a network attached file storage within your VM.

GrĂźner Code, gute Laune â Wie Apps weniger COâ pupsen
In den letzten Jahren ist das Bewusstsein fßr die Ükologischen und sozialen Auswirkungen digitaler Technologien stark gewachsen. In dieser Session wollen wir uns wieder auf die grundsätzliche Frage besinnen: Wie bauen wir mobile Apps, die nicht nur gut laufen, sondern auch ein bisschen weniger Planet verbrauchen?
Dieser Vortrag beleuchtet praxisnahe Strategien mit denen sich der Ăśkologische FuĂabdruck einer App spĂźrbar senken lässt â von energieeffizientem Code und ressourcenschonendem Design bis hin zu nachhaltiger Infrastrukturwahl und verantwortungsvollem Datenmanagement.
NatĂźrlich wird auch gemessen, nicht nur gehofft: Welche Tools helfen dabei, den COâ-Impact, den Energieverbrauch oder die Datenlast einer App zu analysieren.
Am Ende des Vortrags haben die Teilnehmenden einen kompakten Ăberblick Ăźber die konkreten Schritte, die sie unternehmen kĂśnnen um ihre App nachhaltiger zu machen und wie sie diesen Fortschritt messen kĂśnnen.

Hey there! đ
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! You're more than welcome to come hang out and enjoy the conversation.
Mark your calendar and come down for some fun tech talk. See you there!

BookClub - Il Signore delle Mosche
Il BookClub **The Reading Riot** si ritrova per parlare di *Il Signore delle Mosche* di **William Golding**, **Premio Nobel per la Letteratura**.
Il romanzo racconta la storia di un gruppo di ragazzi rimasti isolati su unâisola deserta dopo un incidente aereo. Senza regole nĂŠ adulti, il tentativo di autogestione lascia presto spazio a dinamiche di potere, paura e violenza, mettendo in discussione lâidea stessa di civiltĂ .
Un classico che interroga ancora oggi sul rapporto tra individuo e gruppo, autoritĂ , responsabilitĂ e natura umana.
Lâincontro del BookClub è informale e basato sul **dibattito sui temi principali del libro**, partendo dalle impressioni personali di chi partecipa.
SarĂ una conversazione aperta, in cui ognuno potrĂ intervenire con il proprio punto di vista, in un clima intimo e rilassato.
**Quando e dove**
**MercoledĂŹ 4 marzo**
**Ore 19:00**
**Viale Misurata 9, Milano**
E' richiesta consumazione obbligatoria nel locale (no minimo di spesa).
**Posti limitati**
Per mantenere il gruppo piccolo e favorire lo scambio, i posti sono **limitati.** Una volta raggiunto il limite, verrĂ attivata una **lista dâattesa**.
âł **Importante**
Se dopo lâiscrizione non riesci piĂš a partecipare, ti chiediamo di cancellare la prenotazione entro il giorno prima, cosĂŹ da lasciare spazio a chi è in attesa.
Porta il libro, il tuo entusiasmo e le tue impressioni â non vediamo lâora di iniziare!

Migrating Legacy Languages to Python & MCP Principles and Practice
**⨠Migrating Legacy Languages to Python & MCP: Principles & Practice â¨**
Ready to bridge the gap between decades-old legacy systems and the cutting-edge future of AI?
Join us at Talent Garden Calabiana for a deep-dive technical night, co-hosted by Scops.ai and **TAG**.
We'll tackle two major frontiers in modern engineering: the complex realities of rescuing business logic from legacy code to modern Python, and the hands-on mechanics of Model Context Protocol (MCP). Whether you're modernizing the past or building the future, this meetup is for you.
**Agenda**
* **18:30** Doors Open
* **19:00** Introduction
* **19:10** Talk: Migrating from legacy languages to Python with Federico Tomassetti
* **19:50** Talk: ModelâŻContextâŻProtocol: Principles and Practice with Luca Baggi
* After the meetup we will organize a dinner close to the venue, anybody who wants to join is welcome!
**Venue**: Talent Garden, Via Arcivescovo Calabiana 6 (M3 Lodi or Brenta)
The event will be **recorded and streamed** on Python Milano Youtube channel (links will appear [here](https://www.youtube.com/@pythonmilano/streams) close to the event)
**Migrating from legacy languages to Python**
Python today has a vast ecosystem and an active community which makes it a great choice for many organizations. However, many companies still rely on critical software written decades ago in languages such as RPG, Visual Basic 6, or SAS. While these systems continue to work, they increasingly limit maintainability, hiring, integration, and long-term evolution. In this talk we want to discuss how the systems can be automatically migrated to Python.
We will discuss the real technical and organizational challenges involved: understanding legacy semantics, preserving business logic, validating behavior, and managing incremental migration. The goal is to provide a clear overview of the techniques, trade-offs, and feasibility boundaries involved in translating legacy codebases into modern Python systems. The attendees will get a realistic understanding of what is possible today, when Python is a good target, and how to reason about migration projects without underestimating their complexity.
**Federico Tomassetti, Language Engineering Architect @ Strumenta**
Federico Tomassetti is the founder of Strumenta, a company specialized in Language Engineering. At Strumenta he builds Domain Specific Languages, editors, parsers, compilers, and interpreters. In other words languages and tooling to help professionals to work betterm.
After getting his PhD he has worked in Italy, Germany, Ireland, and France. He worked for small companies and large ones like TripAdvisor and Groupon.
**ModelâŻContextâŻProtocol: Principles and Practice**
Largeâlanguageâmodel agents are only as useful as the context and tools they can reach.
Anthropicâs Model Context Protocol (MCP) proposes a universal, bidirectional interface that turns every external systemâSQL databases, Slack, Git, web browsers, even your local fileâsystemâinto firstâclass âcontext providers.â
In just 30âŻminutes weâll step from highâlevel buzzwords to handsâon engineering details:
How MCPâs JSONâRPC message format, streaming channels, and versionânegotiation work under the hood.
Why perâtool sandboxing via isolated client processes hardens security (and what happens when an LLM triesâŻrm ârf /).
Techniques for hierarchical context retrieval that stretch a modelâs effective window beyond token limits.
Realâworld patterns for accessing multiple toolsâPostgres, Slack, GitHubâand plugging MCP into GenAI applications.
Expect code snippets and lessons from early adoption.
Youâll leave ready to wire your own services into any MCPâaware model and levelâup your GenAI applicationsâwithout the NĂM integration nightmare.
**Luca Baggi, AI Engineer @ xtream**
Luca is an AI Engineer in xtream (now part of TeamSystem). He is a active member to the Python and PyData communities in Europe, and an open source contributor.

CBusData - Discover the Power of Window Functions
Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a âwindowâ to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems:
* Using running totals
* Performing operations in intervals
* Identifying data gaps and islands
* Performing aggregates without losing detail
Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Google Analytics Alternatives
**Google Analytics Alternatives**
Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday.
Since then: Googleâs Universal Analytics has been sunset, weâve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book âGoogle Analytics Alternativesâ.
Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GAâs market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You wonât find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of whatâs currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process.
Weâll also be giving out some free copies of Jasonâs book! So even if youâve got a âGA4Lyfeâ tattoo (no judgement), thereâs free books to go with the free pizza and beer.
Thanks to our 2026 sponsors:

VEGAN MEALS: As previously mentioned, the food vendor does NOT have a vegan option at this yearâs Oscar Party. However, we DO have a solution! I have reached out to several individuals who are affected. If you are a vegan, plan to attend the Oscar Party and did not receive an e-mail from me, please reach out via private message post a note below. Iâll provide details off-line.
And while there wonât be a vegan meal option this year, I think we do have a workable solution. And, all other plans are usiness-as-usual: popcorn, sodas, candy, on-site paparazzi, decorations, bar drinks (including your first drink on the house), the Drexelâs Annual Oscar ballot contest, along with the Big Show on the Big Screen and a fun group of Movie Group friends to watch âem with!
