#106 Start in Woocommerce
**Start in WooCommerce – von Null auf Umsatz!**
Ein Online-Shop ist schnell installiert. Umsatz entsteht trotzdem nicht von selbst.
In diesem Meetup zeigen wir, wie Du WooCommerce sauber in eine bestehende WordPress-Site integrierst – und was es auch noch braucht, damit Dein Shop auch verkauft.
**So funktioniert’s**
Gerd übernimmt die Grundinstallation von WooCommerce in einer bestehenden WordPress-Website.
Live, nachvollziehbar und ohne Abkürzungen.
Stefan grätscht mit Intermezzi dazwischen:
Was muss bedacht werden, damit Technik und Angebot zusammenspielen? Und was entscheidet nach dem Go-Live darüber, ob Besucher:innen kaufen?
Fragen sind ausdrücklich erwünscht – sowohl zur Technik wie auch zu Marketing und Conversion. Wenn Du magst, bring Dein eigenes Projekt oder Deine Shop-Idee mit.
**Warum Du dabei sein solltest**
Praxisnah: Du siehst eine echte Installation und echte Entscheidungen.
Realistisch: Was lohnt sich am Anfang – und was kannst Du Dir sparen?
👉 Zusätzlich gibt es einen Livestream für alle, die nicht vor Ort sein können.
Vor Ort lohnt sich trotzdem: Die besten Gespräche entstehen meist nach dem offiziellen Teil.
**P. S.: Lust, selbst einmal ein Thema zu zeigen?**
Wir freuen uns immer über Beiträge aus der WordPress-Praxis – Plugins, Themes, Shops, Marketing, Accessibility oder Learnings aus echten Projekten.
Melde Dich bei uns oder schlag Dein Thema vor.

Dire quello che non dici: laboratorio sui non detti al lavoro
*“Mi serve questo per ieri.” “Solo una piccola modifica.” “Puoi dare un’occhiata veloce?”*
Sapete già che non è per ieri, non è piccola, non sarà veloce. Ma lo dite?
In questo incontro lavoriamo insieme sui “non detti” delle relazioni professionali: quelle cose che non diciamo a clienti e colleghi perché “non voglio sembrare difficile”, “non è il mio ruolo”, “se lo dico mi licenziano”.
Analizziamo situazioni vere (portate da voi) usando strumenti dell’Analisi Transazionale: cosa comunichiamo davvero sotto le parole educate? Chi ha potere di dire cosa? Quanto ci costa questo silenzio?
Vi portate a casa: chiavi di lettura per riconoscere i non detti + frasi concrete per dire quello che serve dire, quando vale la pena.
Porta un caso per il laboratorio anche tu, qui: [https://forms.gle/UAphJXmffkyQiFbBA](https://forms.gle/UAphJXmffkyQiFbBA)

* **19:45** \- Proposte per i prossimi meetup
* **20:15** \- After Meetup: socializzazione in un ristorante/pizzeria nelle vicinanze
**After Meetup**
Al termine dell'evento, ci sposteremo presso un ristorante/pizzeria della zona per continuare le discussioni e il networking in un ambiente informale. Tutti sono benvenuti!

Bookclub Gennaio
**📚 The ReadingRiot BookClub Gennaio – *L’insostenibile leggerezza dell’essere***
Per il primo appuntamento del nuovo anno, ci immergiamo in uno dei grandi romanzi del Novecento: **L’insostenibile leggerezza dell’essere** di **Milan Kundera**.
Un libro che intreccia amore, desiderio, libertà e responsabilità, mettendo continuamente in dialogo le scelte individuali con il peso della storia collettiva. Attraverso le vite dei suoi personaggi, Kundera ci invita a riflettere su cosa significhi scegliere, restare fedeli (o no), essere liberi, accettare le conseguenze delle proprie decisioni.
È una lettura intensa ma scorrevole, perfetta da leggere o rileggere durante le vacanze di Natale, con il tempo necessario per lasciarla sedimentare e arrivare all’incontro con pensieri, domande e passaggi sottolineati.
Durante l’incontro condivideremo impressioni, riflessioni ed emozioni emerse dalla lettura. Il BookClub è uno spazio aperto e informale: non servono competenze letterarie, ma solo la voglia di ascoltare e confrontarsi. L’incontro è aperto a tutte/i, anche a chi non ha terminato il libro: ogni punto di vista è benvenuto.
🗝️ **Temi di discussione**
* il valore delle scelte individuali
* leggerezza vs pesantezza dell’esistenza
* libertà vs costrizione
* amore, fedeltà e identità
* storia collettiva vs destino personale
📅 **Quando**
Venerdì 23 gennaio – ore 19:00
📍 **Dove**
**Open – Porta Romana -** *Viale Monte Nero 6, Milano*
Uno spazio accogliente e conviviale, ideale per leggere, discutere e condividere idee davanti a un buon bicchiere.
🍷 Durante l’evento è incluso **aperitivo + drink**
💰 **Costo: 10€** \- da pagare direttamente al locale
Porta il libro (cartaceo o digitale) oppure arriva semplicemente con la voglia di ascoltare e condividere.
✨ **Posti limitati** – conferma la tua partecipazione su Meetup per riservare il tuo posto.
Ci vediamo tra le pagine!

Azure CBUS January: Learn Infrastructure-as-Code Through Minecraft
## Learn Infrastructure-as-Code (the FUN Way) — Through Minecraft 🎮☁️
**Joint Meetup: Azure CBUS × Columbus HashiCorp User Group × DevOps Columbus**
What if learning Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code didn’t feel like a whitepaper… but more like a game?
Join us for a joint Azure CBUS, Columbus HashiCorp User Group, and DevOps Columbus meetup where **Mark Tinderholt** \(Principal Architect\, Microsoft Azure \| HashiCorp Ambassador \| “The Azure Terraformer”\) shows how **Minecraft** can be used as a surprisingly powerful way to understand real-world Infrastructure-as-Code concepts.
In this session, Mark will demonstrate how Terraform and Azure can be used to provision, configure, and manage Minecraft servers—while teaching the same patterns you’d use for production cloud infrastructure.
### What we’ll cover
* Infrastructure-as-Code fundamentals using **Terraform**
* Provisioning real infrastructure on **Azure**
* Applying **IaC best practices** (immutability, repeatability, versioning)
* How playful environments like Minecraft make complex concepts *click*
* Why learning through experimentation beats click-ops every time
### Who should attend
* Developers, platform engineers, and cloud engineers
* Terraform users (new or experienced)
* Anyone curious about Infrastructure-as-Code but tired of boring examples
* Minecraft fans who want to see it used in a totally unexpected way
No prior Minecraft experience required—just curiosity and a willingness to learn infrastructure the fun way.
Come for the blocks, stay for the Terraform. 🧱➡️📐
Want to be a speaker? submit your talk to our Call for Presenters!!!
