OpenClaw Bulgaria — Meetup #1 🚀
**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.

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. Създайте нещо, счупете нещо, питайте каквото искате.
**За кого е?**
Разработчици, създатели, предприемачи и просто любопитни. Не е нужен опит — достатъчно е да обичате да строите неща.
📍 **Локация: SOHO — зала HOLISTIC, ул. „Искър“ 4, София 1000 (до метростанция Сердика**)
🕐 **Начало:** 17:00

Cloud-Native & Platform Engineering Meetup April 2026 - Post KubeCon @SAP
Fresh from KubeCon EU 2026, join us for an evening of talks, knowledge sharing, and networking!
📅 Date: Friday, April 2, 2026
🕖 Time: 19:00
📍 Venue: SAP Labs Bulgaria, ul. Srebarna, Sofia
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📋 AGENDA
19:00 – 19:10 - Doors open & networking
19:10 – 19:15 - Welcome & intro
19:15 – 19:40 🎤 Talk 1: From Bare Metal to Cloud: Owning the Stack Without a Hyperscaler(In English) - Boris Kochev
🗣️ Boris Kochev — SAP Labs Bulgaria
What does it take to build cloud infrastructure starting from physical servers while remaining independent from hyperscalers?
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 🍻

Good Friday Service: The Seven Last Words of Christ
Join us at Unity of Columbus for a sacred and meaningful **Good Friday Service**, led by Unity Minister Jewelene Henson—an invitation to pause, reflect, and reconnect in a space of peace and spiritual presence.
In this special hour together, we will reflect on the profound message of the **“Seven Last Words of Jesus Christ,”** opening our hearts to deeper insight, compassion, and renewal. Through prayer, contemplation, and shared stillness, this service offers a gentle opportunity to honor the sacred meaning of the day and embrace a spirit of love and transformation.
Data & Analytics Wednesday - The Data-Driven Brand
**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.
