### L’innovazione open source come driver strategico per l’impresa Un’intera giornata dedicata all’analisi dei trend che stanno ridefinendo le infrastrutture enterprise e l’intero ecosistema tecnologico. Dalla sicurezza della software supply chain alla scalabilità dei dati fino all’integrazione dell’IA generativa, l’open source rappresenta oggi il pilastro fondamentale per il prossimo decennio di evoluzione digitale. I Canonical Days sono eventi gratuiti progettati per IT leader, architetti e decision-maker focalizzati sulla modernizzazione dello stack tecnologico. Attraverso keynote di alto profilo, sessioni tecniche e il confronto con esperti del settore, verranno delineate le strategie necessarie per rendere la roadmap aziendale resiliente e competitiva. ## Focus e obiettivi L’evento analizza i pilastri fondamentali delle infrastrutture moderne, trasformando la visione tecnologica in un piano operativo concreto: * Architetture Cloud: Analisi delle soluzioni per la migrazione da sistemi proprietari, cloud repatriation e adozione di piattaforme aperte per garantire controllo operativo, efficienza e libertà dai vincoli dei singoli vendor. * Scalabilità dei dati e innovazione AI: Dall’ottimizzazione dei database all’AI inference, un approfondimento su come accelerare la trasformazione basata sull’intelligenza artificiale all’interno dei processi organizzativi. * Sicurezza della software supply chain: Integrazione dell’innovazione tecnologica senza compromettere sicurezza e conformità. Focus sull’adozione di piattaforme affidabili e cataloghi open source certificati per la mitigazione dei rischi e l’ottimizzazione del time-to-market. ## L’iniziativa rappresenta un’importante occasione per acquisire insight strategici e favorire il networking tra peer e la leadership di Canonical. | Giugno 11 2026 | Canonical Meetup | | | -------------- | ---------------- | --- | | 09:15 - 10:00 | Registrazione e Benvenuto | | | 10:00 - 10:30 | Infrastruttura Open Source e Cloud Sovrano | | | 10:30 - 11:00 | Sovereign cloud infrastructure: un caso studio | | | 11:00 - 11:30 | Sicurezza e Compliance con Ubuntu Pro | | | 11:30 - 12:00 | Coffee break | | | 12:00 - 12:30 | Data Solutions | | | 12:30 - 13:00 | Kubernetes, Containers e Cloud Native Infra | | | 13:00 - 14:00 | Pranzo e networking | | Oggi l’open source non è più una semplice alternativa, ma un requisito fondamentale per la resilienza operativa.

Sleep, Rest & Connection: Building Our Community Together Join us for the next gathering of The Pause Collective — a supportive meetup for neurodivergent women navigating perimenopause, menopause, burnout, overwhelm, and life transitions. Since many of us haven't yet had the opportunity to meet, we'll begin by getting to know one another and sharing what brought us to this community. We'll also explore one of the most common challenges many women experience during this season of life: sleep. Whether you're navigating insomnia, waking up in the middle of the night, racing thoughts, night sweats, exhaustion, burnout, or simply not feeling rested, you're not alone. This will be a relaxed, low-pressure coffee shop meetup focused on connection and conversation. No need to prepare anything. No pressure to share. Come as you are. Together we'll: • Introduce ourselves and get to know one another • Share what brought us to The Pause Collective • Discuss sleep, rest, and energy during perimenopause and menopause • Exchange ideas, experiences, and support • Explore what topics we'd like to discuss in future gatherings • Continue building the kind of community we'd like to create together This space is neurodivergent-affirming, self-diagnosis-friendly, and supportive of different communication styles and energy levels. Quiet participation is welcome. Listening is participating. Whether you're looking for support, learning, friendship, or simply a place where you don't have to explain yourself, you are welcome here. I look forward to meeting you. — Dawn

Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply. ### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?** Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment. ## **Why Join?** * **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance. * **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space. * **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection. ## **The Ideal Group Leader** The ideal group leader * Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community. * Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us. * Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay.

**Our June novel is: *The Eights* by Joanna Miller** **This month’s novel is set during World War I. It’s a 20th-century historical fiction story about friendship and war, with coming-of-age elements and a slightly haunted tone. The book is 384 pages in print and 10 hours and 9 minutes on audiobook.** Oxford, 1920. For the first time in its one-thousand-year history, Oxford University officially admits female students. Burning with dreams of equality, four young women move into neighboring rooms in Corridor 8. Beatrice, Dora, Marianne, and Otto—collectively known as The Eights—come from all walks of life, each driven by their own motives, each holding tight to their secrets, and are thrown into an unlikely, unshakable friendship. Dora was never meant to go to university, but, after losing both her brother and her fiancé on the battlefield, has arrived in their place. Politically-minded Beatrice, daughter of a famous suffragette, sees Oxford as a chance to make her own way - and some friends her own age. Otto was a nurse during the war but is excited to return to her socialite lifestyle in Oxford where she hopes to find distraction from the memories that haunt her. And finally Marianne, the quiet, clever daughter of a village pastor, who has a shocking secret she must hide from everyone, even her new friends, if she is to succeed. Among the historic spires, and in the long shadow of the Great War, the four women must navigate and support one another in a turbulent world in which misogyny is rife, influenza is still a threat, and the ghosts of the Great War don’t always remain dead.
