UX Design

For our May meetup, we are diving deep into two very different but equally essential worlds: the art of **trashware** (giving old hardware a second life) and the high-stakes decision of choosing between **Python and Rust**. We’ll be hosted by the wonderful folks at **Buildo**. Come for the knowledge, stay for the networking! 📍 **Location and time** * **Where:** Buildo, Via Malaga 4, Milano * **When:** Wednesday, May 6th, 2026 * **Time:** 18:30 (Starts at 19:00 sharp) 🎙️ **Talk 1: How I learned to stop worrying and love (the bomb) trashware** **Speaker:** Andrea Perotti Your 101 practical course on consumer hardware and approaches you can adopt to reduce your carbon footprint. Learn the *if*, the *what*, and the *how* to start doing trashware and having fun while doing it. **BIO** **Andrea Perotti** is a Linux veteran and Senior Engineering Partner Manager at **Red Hat**, where he champions Open Source integration. Beyond the enterprise world, he is an active member of **PCOfficina**, dedicated to hardware refurbishment and community education. Andrea is a firm believer in the power of shared knowledge and sustainable tech. 🎙️ **Talk 2: Python or Rust? Yes** **Speaker:** Giacomo Barone When is it worth it? When is it not? Giacomo will dive into the trade-offs of integrating Rust into your Python workflow and how to keep your product and your team from exploding in the process. **BIO** **Giacono Barone** co-founder e head of product **@ hiop** 🍕 **Networking** After the talks, we will have our usual space for Q&A and networking. It's the perfect time to chat about your latest projects or ask our speakers for advice. **See you there!** ✋ * **Please use your real Name and Surname to register, we cannot assure you will be able to access the venue if not.** * If you have a last minute issue please remember to cancel the RSVP. * Thanks for your cooperation

Ciao! 🌸 A grande richiesta, torna uno dei laboratori più amati ✨ C’è un’arte antica che insegna a non nascondere le crepe, ma a celebrarle: raccogliere i frammenti, ascoltarli e unirli con l’oro, trasformando ogni ferita in luce. La Petite Société è felice di accogliervi di nuovo in questo spazio sospeso nel tempo, insieme alla splendida @ziavirna , per un nuovo incontro dedicato al Kintsugi. Un’esperienza intima e creativa, fatta di gesti lenti e cura, dove ciò che si è rotto rinasce in una forma ancora più preziosa. Se senti che anche le tue imperfezioni meritano di brillare, questo laboratorio è per te ✨ 📅 Mercoledì 6 maggio 2026, ore 19.00 📍 Viale Molise, 51 💌 55 € ( 50 a testa, se porti con te una persona per te speciale) Ogni partecipante lavorerà su un piatto vintage di @vintageloversclubita da portare a casa, simbolo della propria trasformazione 🌸 Evento consigliato anche da @casafacile 🌷

**Basta libri. Basta corsi. Inizia a parlare!** Puoi leggere 100 libri sul public speaking, ma non imparerai mai finché **non sali su un palco**. The Xplorers Toastmasters Club Milano è proprio questo: una **palestra di Public speaking** bilingue (IT/EN) dove puoi metterti in gioco, sbagliare e migliorare. Che tu sia un manager, uno studente o semplicemente una persona che vuole vincere la paura di parlare in pubblico, questa è la serata giusta per te. **📅 COSA ASPETTARSI:** Toastmasters international è un'associazione nata negli Stati Uniti più di 100 anni fa. Ogni serata di ogni Club del mondo è strutturata in tre parti: 1. **Discorsi Preparati:** I nostri soci presentano discorsi su vari argomenti per allenare le loro skill (Storytelling, body language, struttura). 2. **Improvvisazione (Table Topics)\*:** Esercizi di improvvisazione per imparare a rispondere con sicurezza a ogni domanda. 3. **Valutazioni:** Ogni speaker riceve da un altro socio un feedback costruttivo per capire cosa ha fatto bene e cosa può migliorare. *\*Nota:* Anche gli ospiti possono provare a buttarsi, ma **solo se lo desiderano**. Nessuno ti forzerà! **📍 DOVE E QUANDO:** Ci troviamo allo Spazio OiT (Via Porpora 14, zona Loreto) ogni 1° e 3° mercoledì del mese. * Ore **19:00**: Networking e accoglienza. * Ore **19:15**: Inizio puntualissimo. **⚠️** **Per garantire un'esperienza di qualità, accettiamo solo 9 nuovi ospiti per ogni serata.** **Assicurati il tuo posto gratuito ora!** Ti aspettiamo!

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

You are warmly invited to a 90-minute breathwork activation experience in one of Milano’s most refined and intentional settings…an event designed not for performance but for presence. This is a somatic journey guided through conscious active breathing.. where the body leads and the mind gently follows. A space where nothing is required of you and yet everything within you is welcome. This is not about doing more, fixing or figuring things out. It is about allowing and allowing the nervous system to soften…allowing emotions to surface without force… allowing the body to release what it has been holding.. quietly or loudly…for longer than you may realize. Whether you arrive feeling grounded or overwhelmed, clear or confused, open or guarded… you are met exactly where you are. Through active guided breathwork and a trauma-informed approach, you will be supported in reconnecting with your inner landscape.. beyond words and beyond stories. A return to sensation.. to truth.. to what is alive within you now. For some, this may feel expansive and liberating. For others, it may feel subtle, grounding or deeply regulating. There is no right way to experience this… This is a space of safety, depth, and quiet transformation. A space where release is not forced but invited. Where awareness unfolds naturally. Where the body remembers what it means to feel without needing to explain. You don’t need prior experience. You don’t need to prepare anything beyond your willingness to show up as you are.

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!
