Open Coding Night
**Open Coding Night**
Ti va di allenarti con il TDD provando qualche Kata? Vuoi provare il *vibe coding*? Hai un progetto personale che non riesci mai a portare avanti? Oppure ti piacerebbe imparare Rust, Zig, Haskell o qualche altro linguaggio?
[>>> per trovare l'ufficio <<<](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1x-QSl6rp8vR8Zj9k58ntmzTlUtuCB7OY/view?usp=sharing)
**Open Coding Night** è un formato anti-procrastinazione libero e non limitato al solo TDD: ci si trova la sera insieme ad altre persone curiose e motivate, per finalmente dare spazio alle proprie idee e sperimentare.
**Come Partecipare**
Porta con te un’idea, un esercizio, un progetto o una tecnologia che vuoi provare. Troverai una scrivania e un monitor a tua disposizione per metterti subito all’opera.
Non hai un obiettivo preciso ma ti piace lasciarti guidare dalla serendipità? Nessun problema: puoi unirti a chi vuole condividere la propria attività e lavorare insieme.
**Programma**
* **19:00 – 21:30** meetup aperto
* **19:30** breve giro di presentazioni: chi c’è, cosa vuole fare, a cosa vuole aggregarsi
* **19:45 – 21:15**: focus time, ma siete liberi di muovervi, esplorare e fare domande in giro.
* **21:15** mini-retrospective su cosa è stato fatto
* Dalle **21:30** in poi, libertà totale: puoi tornare a casa o unirti a chi ha voglia di andare a cena insieme!
\-\-\-
We are open to English speaking participants:
**Open Coding Night**
Do you feel like practicing TDD by trying out some Katas? Want to try vibe coding? Do you have a personal project you never manage to move forward? Or would you like to learn Rust, Zig, Haskell, or some other language?
**Open Coding Night** is an anti-procrastination format not limited only to TDD: you meet in the evening with other curious and motivated people to finally give space to your ideas and experiment.
**How to participate**
Bring an idea, an exercise, a project, or a technology you want to try. You’ll find a desk and a monitor at your disposal so you can get to work right away.
Don’t have a specific goal but enjoy being guided by serendipity? No problem: you can join those who want to share their activity and work together.
**Schedule**
* **19:00 – 21:30** open meetup
* **19:30** short round of introductions: who’s here, what they want to do, what they want to join
* **19:45 – 21:15:** focus time, but you’re free to move around, explore, and ask questions.
* **21:15** mini-retrospective on what was done
* From **21:30** onward, total freedom: you can go home or join those who feel like going out for dinner together!

## What we’re about
Buongiorno a tutti. 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.

I LOGS NON MENTONO ...ma a volte confondono!
Ti è mai capitato di avere tutto sotto controllo… e comunque non capire cosa stava succedendo?
Benvenuto nel mondo moderno: microservizi, eventi, pipeline, e una valanga di dati che promettono chiarezza.
Spoiler: non basta.
Search, observability e open source condividono lo stesso obiettivo: trasformare dati grezzi in qualcosa che abbia senso, e il farlo mentre il sistema cambia, scala, e a volte ...si rompe.
Non è (solo) una questione di tool. È capire come leggere, collegare e interpretare quello che abbiamo davanti.
Da qui partiamo.
**Agenda** (in aggiornamento)
* 18:30 – 18:45 Arrivo e Check-In
* 18:45 - 19:15 **Le architetture di observability sembrano sempre perfette… finché non le metti in produzione *(Fabio Marzotti)***
* 19:15 - 19:40 **SBOM, SBAM: chi ha messo questo nel mio codice? Sicurezza della supply chain software di livello enterprise, a budget zero (Maurizio Argoneto)**
* 19:45 - 20:00 **Community slot**
* 20:00 - 20:30 **Networking & Q&A**
* 20:30 Fine meetup
**Le architetture di observability sembrano sempre perfette… finché non le metti in produzione.**
*Quando i dati aumentano, i tenant si moltiplicano e ogni team ha esigenze diverse, iniziano le vere sfide: isolamento, governance, costi, affidabilità. È qui che molte architetture, anche ben progettate, possono cedere.*
*In questo talk partiremo da un caso reale per vedere cosa succede dopo: come si costruisce (e si mantiene) a livello di gruppo una piattaforma di observability, basata su **OpenSearch, fork open source di Elasticsearch e Kibana**, capace di gestire cluster distribuiti, carichi eterogenei e scenari multi-tenant senza perdere controllo.*
*Vedremo cosa comporta davvero uscire da **Splunk** in un contesto enterprise: non solo come migrare, ma quando ha senso farlo, quali compromessi accettare e dove si nascondono i costi reali.*
*Infine, sposteremo il focus dall’infrastruttura al suo utilizzo: come rendere logs, metrics e traces parte di un sistema coerente che supporti troubleshooting, affidabilità e operatività quotidiana, non solo dashboard.*
***Fabio Marzotti - Group log management & observability@Nexi Italy*** *è un IT Manager con ampia esperienza in ambito observability, automation, telemetry, log management e data streaming. Esperto nella progettazione e gestione di piattaforme di enterprise monitoring, con una solida background in system architecture e operations in contesti finanziari su larga scala.*
**SBOM, SBAM: chi ha messo questo nel mio codice? Sicurezza della supply chain software di livello enterprise, a budget zero.**
*Il software moderno non viene più solo scritto: viene assemblato. Quasi il 90% di una tipica applicazione è composto da librerie di terze parti. Se domani venisse resa pubblica una vulnerabilità critica come Log4Shell, quanto tempo impiegherebbe il tuo team a identificare tutti i microservizi impattati?*
*Mentre le grandi aziende si affidano spesso a costose licenze “Ultimate”, PMI, team indipendenti e realtà con budget limitati rischiano di trovarsi esposti a un pericoloso gap di sicurezza.*
*In questa sessione esploreremo come democratizzare la **Software Supply Chain Security** costruendo un perimetro di difesa automatizzato senza costi di licenza.*
*Attraverso **una demo basata su un prototipo Docker,** analizzeremo un’architettura concreta che integra:*
* ***GitLab Community Edition*** *per l’orchestrazione delle pipeline;*
* ***Trivy*** *e **cdxgen** per la generazione automatica di SBOM, **Software Bill of Materials**, in formato **CycloneDX**;*
* ***OWASP Dependency-Track*** *per il monitoraggio continuo e proattivo delle vulnerabilità.*
*Andremo oltre il semplice vulnerability scanning, mostrando come **sfruttare l’intelligenza artificiale per l’analisi della raggiungibilità del codice** e per generare file **VEX**, **Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange**, utili a ridurre i falsi positivi e concentrare l’attenzione solo sui rischi realmente azionabili.*
*Infine, discuteremo come questo stack possa aiutare le organizzazioni a prepararsi ai requisiti del prossimo **EU Cyber Resilience Act**, CRA.*
**Maurizio Argoneto: AWS Hero \| CTO/Solution Architect \| Community Lead \(AWS\, GDG\, PLUG\) \| Co\-founder of 'Come To Code'**
Maurizio promuove da oltre dieci anni cultura Open Source, community tech e innovazione digitale nei territori. Il suo lavoro unisce competenze cloud, architetturali e community leadership, con l’obiettivo di rendere l’innovazione accessibile anche fuori dai grandi hub tecnologici.
C'è sempre nei nostri incontri un **community slot**, uno spazio dedicato agli interventi della community per raccontare un problema risolto in produzione, portare un tema tecnico su cui stai lavorando oppure condividere una domanda architetturale da discutere insieme.
E, come in ogni meetup che vuole diventare una community vera, c'è spazio ampio per **Q&A, confronto aperto e networking**: perché spesso le soluzioni migliori nascono proprio dalle conversazioni informali tra persone che affrontano sfide simili.
Sei benvenuta/io anche se non hai mai usato OpenSearch!
Ti aspettiamo!

Divine Comedy Club Presents: American Idiot – Make. America. Funny. Again.

Divine Comedy Club Milano presents American Idiot, the brand-new one-man comedy show by Edy “U-The-Man”, a Nigerian-American comedian, performer, MC, and founder of Divine Comedy Club Milano.
American Idiot is a hilarious, high-energy journey through the mind of an American living in Europe. More specifically, through the mind of an American Idiot.
In this self-deprecating, chaotic, and completely unfiltered comedy showcase, Edy takes the audience on a wild ride through his personal experience of life in Italy, cultural misunderstandings, the madness of the modern world, and the deeply questionable decisions that have shaped his love life, work life, and family life.
Nothing is off limits. Not even his dignity.
With sharp social commentary, manic storytelling, and a brutally honest look at the American experience abroad, American Idiot is both introspective and absurd, personal and universal, concerning and hilarious.
Edy “U-The-Man” has performed in cities across Europe, including Barcelona, Madrid, Lisbon, Paris, Malta, Berlin, and several cities throughout Italy. As the organizer and MC of Divine Comedy Club Milano, he has helped build one of Milan’s first English-language comedy clubs, bringing together local and international comedians in the city’s growing stand-up scene.
Divine Comedy Club Milano is a community of local and expat comedians performing English-language comedy in Milan. The club also hosts a weekly Open Mic night and regularly features both emerging and established comedians.
Join us for a loud, fast-paced, and completely unfiltered night of stand-up comedy.

In this **high-energy show**, **nothing is left off the table**, not even his dignity. Come for the sharp social commentary on his experience living in Italy, the state of the world, and his deeply concerning **personal anecdotes** about his love life, work life, and family life. All of which are both concerning and hilarious.
Edy’s one-man show is a **loud, chaotic, and completely unfiltered** descent into the mind of a man who is sometimes introspective, sometimes delusional, but always funny.

Feel Good Friday: POWER BALLAD at the Gateway Film Center + SHAKE NO. 8!
Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor.
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!”
SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8! Ranked the #1 Ice Cream Shop in Columbus in 2024, this is the perfect place to kick off our Summer of Ice Cream and grab a sweet treat after the show! Their menu features an array of traditional, specialty and vegan shakes, hot cocoa, and more! You can check out their full menu here: [https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php](https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php)
PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing and will meet in the lobby area about 20 minutes before the show. Once showtime is announced, advance ticket purchase is advised! Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments section of this event. We'll head to nearby Shake No. 8 immediately following the show!
Should be a fun one, Dan
