Hi Gophers! Unser nächstes Treffen findet am **Mittwoch, 11.02.2026** statt! 🎉 [Christian Budde](https://github.com/meko-christian/) von [MeKo Manufacturing](http://www.meko.de/) wird uns mitnehmen auf eine Zeitreise durch verschiedene Git-Repos und uns Tools an die Hand geben, mit denen wir auch in der eigenen Codebasis auf Zeitreise zu gehen können. Denn Git vergisst nichts. Wir lesen das Repo als Telemetrie: aggregieren, normalisieren und visualisieren - und schauen, welche Metriken Auskunft zu Fossilien im Code und Team-Dynamik liefern. Wir treffen uns um **18 Uhr** bei [functional](https://functional.team/) (Drostestr. 16, 30163 Hannover), vielen Dank an unsere Gastgeber! Mit dem Vortrag starten wir um **18:30 Uhr**. Danach wollen wir wie immer gemeinsam über Erfahrungen plaudern, voneinander lernen und den Abend gemütlich ausklingen lassen.

[Christian Budde](https://github.com/meko-christian/) from [MeKo Manufacturing](http://www.meko.de/) will take us on a journey through time via various Git repositories and provide us with tools that we can use to travel through time in our own code base. Because Git never forgets anything. We read the repo as telemetry: aggregating, normalising and visualising – and looking at which metrics provide information about fossils in the code and team dynamics. The talk will be in German, when necessary we can switch to English. We’ll meet at [functional](https://functional.team/) (Drostestr. 16, 30163 Hannover) at **6:00 PM** — big thanks to our hosts! The talk will start at **6:30 PM**, followed by our usual casual get-together to share experiences, learn from each other, and enjoy the evening. We look forward to seeing you there! \*\*\* **Agenda** 18:00 Socialising (on site) 18:30 Presentation (on site & online) ... Networking

Ciao! L'appuntamento di **febbraio** è per **mercoledì 11 alle 19** con un altro interessante talk in presenza, sempre al [Politecnico di Milano](https://www.google.com/maps/place/45%C2%B028'41.3%22N+9%C2%B013'43.6%22E/@45.478127,9.228763,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d45.478127!4d9.228763?entry=ttu)! Questo mese lo speaker sarà **Cesare Capobianco**, con il talk **Dal sito al sistema: come estendere WordPress con CRM, preventivi, portali e fatture (senza litigare col commercialista)** Abstract Costruiamo ottimi siti WordPress. Ma spesso il sito è solo una piccola parte dell’ecosistema digitale di una PMI. Vendite, preventivi, fatturazione, assistenza clienti e follow-up vivono altrove, in modo frammentato e poco efficiente. Questo talk parte da una domanda concreta: come possiamo estendere il nostro ruolo da “chi fa il sito” a consulenti del sistema digitale dell’azienda, aumentando il valore percepito e la sostenibilità economica del nostro lavoro? L’incontro è pratico e orientato alla strategia, non solo al codice. Vedremo come usare WordPress come punto di ingresso di un sistema aziendale più ampio e coerente, collegandolo a CRM, gestionali, strumenti di marketing, AI chat e helpdesk. In particolare parleremo di: come individuare le applicazioni aziendali che devono dialogare con il sito e come trasformare queste esigenze in consulenza e integrazione, non solo ore di sviluppo; come strutturare proposte semplici da vendere ma percepite come realmente convenienti, capaci di generare fiducia, referenze e nuove opportunità; come affrontare il tema delicato delle fatture elettroniche e dell’integrazione contabile, producendo dati corretti dal sito senza sostituire (né scontentare) il commercialista; come scegliere consapevolmente tra plugin WordPress, piattaforme di integrazione low-code (Make, Zapier) e soluzioni open source modulari come Odoo, anche con il supporto dell’AI per prototipi e demo rapide. Obiettivo Fornire una mappa concreta per ampliare i propri servizi WordPress e competere nel ruolo di consulente per il business digitale, restando nell’open source e con costi controllati \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Saremo in diretta streaming** Non puoi partecipare di persona?

All’inizio dell’incontro faremo il conteggio per prenotare: per non creare disguidi conferma la presenza solo se sei sicuro di venire. Networking significa che ci sarà tempo per chiacchierare con chi partecipa e fare amicizia. Potresti trovare una persona interessante, un futuro cliente, un futuro fornitore o un nuovo partner di lavoro, chi può dirlo? Non riesci a venire, o devi dare la tua disdetta? Nessun rancore, sarà per la prossima. Ti chiediamo solo di farci sapere 24 ore prima così - liberiamo il tuo posto per altre persone. **Vuoi essere speaker?** Beh, nulla di più facile: **Compila il modulo [cliccando qui](https://wpmilano.org/speaker-form/)**. Ti risponderemo per fornirti tutti i dettagli. Ci vediamo lì! 😉

Fortlaufend werden auf WordPress-Websites von Bots automatische „Brute Force Attacken” ausgeübt. Mit einer Serie ziemlich fieser Bot-Attacken wird die WP-Website nachhaltig auf Schwachstellen abgeklopft. Ziel ist das System zu übernehmen, andere Inhalte auf der Website zu platzieren oder sogar Schadsoftware zu installieren. In diesem Talk tauchen wir in die Welt der digitalen Sicherheit ein und schauen uns an, welche Strategien wirklich helfen können, WordPress-Websites widerstandsfähiger zu machen — und welche beliebten „Tricks” in Wahrheit kaum Schutz bieten. Anhand praxisnaher Beispiele zeigt Bernhard Kau, wo sich der Einsatz lohnt und wo man besser die Finger davon lässt. Es schließt sich eine offenen Diskussion an.

A hilarious show about dating and failing, with some of the best comedians in town. We dated all the red flags, so YOU won't have to! The show is fun, playful and when the audience is up for it, it can get a bit unhinged too. Anna Ampatziani and her comedy friends gathered their crazy dating stories to give you an unexpected and very funny show that everyone can relate with. Treat yourself with an hour of laughter, while they tell you all about love, failure, and everything in between. According to those who saw her live, her stories hook you until the end, and she makes you laugh about things, you never thought you'd laugh about. The show takes place at the hidden "Salle New Jazzland" right next to the central train station. It's a cozy atmosphere with vinyls and vintage posters covering the walls. You can enjoy a cocktail or a meal à la carte. If you're coming alone, don't worry, you'll feel like you are among friends. Doors open at 7PM, show starts at 8PM Entry to the show is free with a one-drink minimum requirement.

Let’s meet on **Valentine’s Day** for a gentle, warm, and slightly unpredictable afternoon, not to talk about romantic love, but about **the connection with yourself** 💗. This meetup isn't about figuring out who you are, but about reflecting on who you are, your passions and priorities, and how things unfold over time. 🌟 What to expect A small circle of open-minded people, with tea, coffee, or food in hand, sharing reflections, philosophy, psychology, or simply ideas and inspirations that arise naturally in the moment. The topic is suggested above, and the conversation will flow organically.🪄 We’ll explore the questions step by step, from light to deeper, in a roundtable format. For example: - What’s your name, where are you from, and what are you doing in Luxembourg? - How would you describe your character? What are your strengths and weaknesses? - What are you passionate about? What puts you into a flow state? - What are the three core values that guide your life right now? - How did you come to “find yourself”? - What tends to change once you feel more settled in who you are? - How do priorities shift over time? - What becomes simpler — and what might become more complicated? - How do you continue to become yourself? - …and whatever else naturally emerges. There’s no pressure to share deeply — listening is just as welcome as speaking. ✨ 📌 Practical details 📍 Venue: Bouneweger Stuff 📅 Date: Saturday, February 14, 2026 🕒 Time: 15:00 – 17:00 👥 Group size: Up to 12 people ☕ Food & drinks: Everyone orders and pays individually (Since this is a rather specific topic, the group will stay small. If you find that you can’t attend, please cancel your spot so someone else can join.) If you enjoy authentic connection, gentle humour, openness to different perspectives, and curiosity about others — not just what they do, but who they are — you’re very welcome to join. 🫶

**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data** Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics. The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth. The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical. (note: we are back at Rev1 this month!) **About Our Speaker** [Alex Moore](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexscottmoore/) is the founder of [Moore Cooperative](https://moorecooperative.com/), where he advises organizations on compensation strategy, pay equity, and people analytics. His work focuses on helping organizations like the Ohio Supreme Court design, analyze, and communicate compensation systems that are data-informed, defensible, and aligned with organizational goals. Alex lives in Granville, Ohio and has three little kiddos. More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

I love my job and one of the main things I do is help customers get going with any of the data technologies at Microsoft. Right now there are a lot of my customers asking about Microsoft Fabric. It's hard to weave across all the shiny new options across the Fabric landscape, let alone figure out where it fits into your organization. In this session we'll focus on answering one question - how can I get data into Fabric? We'll talk through the "it depends" options and see some of the options in live demos.
