Здравейте, приятели, В първия ден на април ще си говорим за нещо, през което почти всеки е минал, но рядко се разказва честно. Наш гост ще бъде **Калин Каракехайов** с темата: „Как WordPress се вписва в пътя на Интернет предприемача“ Казват, че най-трудно е началото. А понякога е и най-хаотичното, най-обърканото… и най-ценният учител. В тази лекция Калин ще ни върне назад към първите си стъпки – време, в което още не е знаел как се правят пари онлайн, пробвал е различни неща и един вид е "преоткривал топлата вода", но все пак винаги по свой си начин. Именно този път - с грешките, експериментите и малките победи - стои в основата на това, което изгражда по-късно. Какво да очаквате от лекцията му: * реална история за старта без опит и без ясна посока * как се стига от „нямам идея как работи това“ до устойчив онлайн бизнес * къде и как WordPress влиза в играта като инструмент за изграждане, тестване и развитие на идеи * какви грешки си струва да направите (и кои е по-добре да пропуснете) * практически поглед върху мисленето на един интернет предприемач Това няма да е просто техническа лекция, а разговор за процеса - за решенията, съмненията и моментите, в които WordPress се превръща от инструмент в реална възможност. Както винаги, ще отделим време за въпроси, дискусия и нетуъркинг – онази част, в която най-често се раждат нови идеи и бъдещи проекти. Очакваме ви на първи април в познатата ни уютна обстановка на **Sky Beauty Lab.** Събитието и този път се реализира с подкрепата на нашите партньори - **JetHost.BG, SuperHosting.BG**, **Delta.BG** и **Jump.bg**, които продължават да стоят зад WordPress Sofia Meetup и общността ни като цяло. И разбира се - благодарим на **WordPress**. Не просто като платформа, а като безплатен инструмент, който дава възможност на всеки да започне. Поканете приятели и колеги или споделете събитието - ще е супер да се съберем повече хора! Както всеки път, срещата ще бъде напълно безплатна и отворена за всички, като единственото нещо, което трябва да направите, е да се запишете в събитието тук в платформата. Ако имате Facebook акаунт, можете да се включите в WordPress Sofia Meetup групата: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/344049376341346](https://www.facebook.com/groups/344049376341346), в която обсъждаме предстоящите събития, коментираме актуални теми и си помагаме.

**Cogito ergo creo — I think, therefore I create.** First gathering of OpenClaw Bulgaria — a community for builders who use AI agents as creative partners, not just tools. **The format — three phases:** 🧠 **Mental** — The idea. What AI agents actually are, how they think, remember, and act. Not theory — the real shift happening right now. 💻 **Demo** — See it work. Live walkthrough of an AI agent doing real tasks — memory, skills, autonomy. No slides, no fluff. 🔥 **Live** — Your turn. Bring your laptop, your project, your questions. Build something, break something, ask anything. Open floor. **Who is this for?** Developers, makers, entrepreneurs, and the simply curious. Whether you've been running agents for months or just heard about it — if you like building things, you belong here. **Language:** English + Bulgarian — whatever flows naturally. 📍 **Location: SOHO — HOLISTIC Room, 4 Iskar Street, Sofia 1000 (near Serdika metro stati**on) 🕐 **Start:** 17:00 🌐 www.openclaw.bg 💬 discord.gg/qu4gusnZd3 This is a recurring meetup — **every first Thursday of the month.** Come once, come always. Hosted by Alex Alexiew & Aria 🤖 ─── 🇧🇬 **Български** Cogito ergo creo — Мисля, следователно създавам. Първата среща на OpenClaw Bulgaria — общност за хора, които създават с AI агенти, а не просто ги ползват. **Форматът — три фази:** 🧠 **Mental** — Идеята. Какво всъщност са AI агентите, как мислят, помнят и действат. Не теория — истинската промяна, която се случва сега. 💻 **Demo** — Вижте го на живо. AI агент изпълнява реални задачи — памет, умения, автономия. Без презентации, без празни приказки. 🔥 **Live** — Вашият ред. Донесете лаптоп, проект, въпроси.

This talk explores the foundations of modern open infrastructure in the context of growing interest in vendor-neutral and sovereign cloud services. We'll begin with a walk-through of the European Apeiro Reference Architecture initiative and its role in promoting open-source, interoperable cloud technologies. From there, we'll dive into bare metal provisioning using IronCore/CobaltCore and Metal API, showing how physical servers can be automated and integrated into a programmable infrastructure layer. We'll finish zooming out to see the bigger picture: how these building blocks can be combined into a full Infrastructure-as-a-Service platform. 19:45 – 20:10 🎤 Talk 2: KubeCon Recap - Open Mic (БГ/EN) 20:10 – 21:30(22) Q&A, networking & drinks 🍻 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📝 NOTES \- The event is free and open to everyone \- Please RSVP so we can plan accordingly \- Hosted at SAP Labs Bulgaria 🙏 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ See you there! 🚀

What counts as betrayal? Does art require authenticity? How do we define fairness? Do our memories make us who we are? In this event, we will explore these questions and more by discussing detailed scenarios where these ethical dilemmas play out. We’ll rotate in small groups between four different scenarios. Debate, share, and hear how others think. This is for anyone who enjoys: * Thought-provoking discussions * Meeting new people in small groups * Practical philosophy 📅 Date: Tuesday, 31 March 🕖 Time: Event begins at 19:15 📍 Location: The Steps (upstairs) 🎟️ Price: Free NOTE: There is NO LIMIT on the number of participants, Meetup sets a restriction automatically. Even if you don't reserve a spot, you can still come along.

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.

**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.
