## 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.

WPMI Giugno | WordPress 7 ed i pericoli del suo nuovo client AI
Ciao! Dopo WordCamp Torino e WordCamp Europe abbiamo fatto del nostro meglio per organizzare il nostro incontro, anche se con un po' di ritardo.
L'appuntamento di giugno è per **martedì 16 alle 19**, **sempre al Politecnico di Milano ma in una nuova sede:**
**Via Edoardo Bassini, 6 / Edificio 41**
**Link Google Maps:**
https://maps.app.goo.gl/WxQp1JNsqSXWRDRQ8
Ed ecco il talk di questo mese:
**WordPress 7.0 ed il suo nuovo client AI**
I pericoli del nuovo Client AI di WordPress:
"da grandi poteri derivano grandi responsabilità", ma qui non tutti sembrano rendersene conto.
La decisione su quale modello usare e quale tetto di token imporre è delegata interamente al plugin, via codice, senza alcun limite globale lato amministratore. Tradotto: un plugin scritto con leggerezza, che non limita i token in uscita o preferisce di default un modello costoso, può bruciare cifre importanti a tua insaputa, e te ne accorgi solo leggendo la fattura.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
Saremo in diretta streaming
Non puoi partecipare di persona? Noi non ti giudicheremo! :) Se vuoi, puoi seguirci anche in diretta streaming su YouTube. Il link sarà visibile solo una volta che avrai fatto la tua iscrizione all'evento. Durante la diretta, se vorrai, potrai intervenire anche tu usando una webcam e un microfono per dire la tua: basterà usare il link che verrà fornito via chat.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
In breve, ecco come sarà organizzata la serata:
19:00 Benvenuto + networking
19:20 Panel (di circa 50 minuti)
20:10 Domande e risposte
20:30 Fine; Chi vuole può continuare il networking in un bar o pizzeria vicino al luogo dell’evento. 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! 😉

The Eye Contact Experiment [Milano]
**Start February energized!**
Open your eyes, heart and soul and lose yourself in the eyes of a stranger for one minute. Explore a sense of belonging within our community while enjoying a moment of connection with a fellow human being.
►𝗪𝗛𝗬
Explore and express who you are: A human being.
𝗧𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝘄
When someone approaches us on the street, sometimes there is an incentive to sell something in particular. Yet, in this event, you have the unique opportunity to experience how we connect with each other without any intention. Here, you can feel truly being seen and understood. Experience the joy of human connection.
𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿
Eye contact is a simple form of meditation that allows you to observe your thoughts and feelings with much more clarity. This so called awareness is your gateway to a joyful life. Experience a day full of curiosity, peace and presence.
𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲
For some of us, looking into the eyes of someone can be a difficult, daunting task. Yet it is proven that people looking into the eyes of others are perceived as more confident. This skill can be trained like a muscle. In other words, you are going to feel much more comfortable around other people. Learning this skill can be useful in holding a public speech, a company meeting, at dating or talking with your friends and family.
𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝘆𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝘇𝗲𝗿𝘀
Meet open-minded, positive people and connect with all kinds of them. Experience acceptance free of any judgement. Find a safe place where we see commonalities over differences. We are all part of the same family.
𝗕𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀
Nowadays, we are glued to our phones and social media. We, almost by accident, learned to avoid contact with fellow human beings where the generation before us used to have conversations with strangers while riding the tram, bus or train. Many friendships and romantic relationships used to stem from these casual interactions in public life. Let’s solve the problem of the increasing sense of division, isolation and loneliness by coming together and be truly present and communicate with each other, verbally and non-verbally.
►𝗛𝗢𝗪
Choose someone, offer this person to sit in front of you and make yourself comfortable. Bring a blanket or something similar to comfortably sit down. Alternatively, you can do the eye gazing while standing. Look into each others eyes for a minute (or even longer). Enjoy the silence and observe what happens. Expect nothing, yet be open for everything.
►𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧
The eye contact experiment is a beautiful and powerful experience that…
• offers you to explore human connection through non-verbal communication.
• can make your day, and for some people even change their life.
• brings people together.
►𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡
19th January, from 6:00pm until 8:00 pm.

Consapevolezza senza scelta: Krishnamurti nell’era dell’indecisione (IT/EN)
**Italiano**
**Viviamo circondati da scelte**: cosa fare, chi essere, che posizione prendere su tutto. Eppure, **più alternative abbiamo, più spesso restiamo bloccati nell’indecisione**, nel rimuginio, nell\*’overthinking\*. In questo scenario, **la proposta di Jiddu Krishnamurti suona quasi scandalosa: una *consapevolezza senza scelta***, capace di vedere ciò che è, prima di ogni decisione, tecnica o metodo.
In questo incontro **useremo il pensiero di Krishnamurti come filo rosso** per esplorare insieme cosa potrebbe significare, oggi **“vedere ciò che è” senza giudicare, senza selezionare, senza cercare di aggiustare tutto subito**. Partiremo da alcuni suoi passaggi su consapevolezza, osservatore/osservato, fine del conflitto interiore, ascoltandoli o leggendoli insieme e lasciando spazio al dialogo.
Accanto alla voce di Krishnamurti, richiameremo anche **altri contributi su consapevolezza**: dalla mindfulness alla psicologia contemporanea, dalla consapevolezza emotiva e corporea alla ricerca di senso più esistenziale. Questo ci aiuterà a distinguere tra consapevolezza come “tecnica” e consapevolezza come modo di vedere e vivere.
**L’incontro alternerà:**
* una breve introduzione per chiarire cosa si intende per “consapevolezza senza scelta”;
* ascolto/lettura di brani scelti;
* qualche semplice esperienza guidata di osservazione (del corpo, dei pensieri, delle emozioni);
* momenti di condivisione e dialogo aperto, in cui ciascuno potrà portare la propria esperienza con l’indecisione, il controllo, il bisogno di scegliere il “giusto”.
**Alcune domande** che guideranno il nostro dialogo:
* Cosa intendiamo, ciascuno di noi, quando diciamo “siamo consapevoli”?
* In quali momenti della vita ci accorgiamo di essere bloccati dall’indecisione o dal rimuginio?
* Che differenza c’è, per la nostra esperienza, tra “controllare” e “osservare”?
* Cosa potrebbe voler dire, concretamente, fare un passo verso una “consapevolezza senza scelta” nella vita di tutti i giorni?
Non serve conoscere già Krishnamurti, né avere esperienza di meditazione: basta curiosità e la disponibilità a guardare un po’ più da vicino il modo in cui normalmente ci osserviamo, giudichiamo, scegliamo.
Nessuna esperienza precedente richiesta. Portate solo la vostra presenza e la disponibilità ad osservare senza giudicare e senza motivazioni.
**Ingresso libero — posti limitati**. Confermate la partecipazione tramite Meetup.
Ci vediamo il 18 giugno 2026 alle h. 18:30 da Otto; la consumazione presso il locale non è obbligatoria ma consigliata in quanto ospita il nostro evento.
**English**
**We live surrounded by choices**: what to do, who to be, what stance to take on almost everything. And yet, **the more options we have, the more often we get stuck in indecision**, in rumination, in overthinking. In this scenario\*\*, Jiddu Krishnamurti’s proposal sounds almost shocking: a *choiceless awareness*\*\*, the capacity to see what is, before any decision, technique, or method.
In this meeting we will use **Krishnamurti’s thought as a guiding thread** to explore together what it might mean, today, **to “see what is” without judging, without selecting, without trying to fix everything right away**. We will start from some of his key passages on awareness, the observer and the observed, and the ending of inner conflict, listening to or reading them together and leaving room for dialogue.
Alongside Krishnamurti’s voice, we will also bring in **other perspectives on awareness**: from mindfulness to contemporary psychology, from emotional and bodily awareness to a more existential search for meaning. This will help us distinguish between awareness as a “technique” and awareness as a way of seeing and living.
**The meeting will alternate:**
* a brief introduction to clarify what is meant by “choiceless awareness”
* listening to/reading selected passages
* some simple guided exercises of observation (of the body, thoughts, emotions)
* moments of sharing and open dialogue, where everyone can bring their own experience with indecision, control, and the need to make the “right” choice
**Some questions** that will guide our dialogue:
* What do we each mean when we say “we are aware”?
* In which moments of life do we notice we are stuck in indecision or rumination?
* What is, in our experience, the difference between “controlling” and “observing”?
* What could it concretely mean to take a step toward “choiceless awareness” in everyday life?
You don’t need to know Krishnamurti already, nor have any experience with meditation: all that’s needed is curiosity and a willingness to look a little more closely at the way we usually observe, judge, and choose.
No previous experience required. Just bring your presence and your willingness to observe without judging and without ulterior motives.
**Free entry — limited seats**. Please confirm your participation through Meetup.
See you at Otto on the 18th June 2026 at 18:30; buying a drink or snack at the venue is not mandatory but recommended, as the place is kindly hosting our event.

AI Meetup (June): Secure AI Agents
Important: Register on [AICamp website](https://www.aicamp.ai/event/eventdetails/W2026061814) is required for admission.
**Description:**
Welcome to the AI meetup in Washington DC. Join us for deep dive tech talks on AI, GenAI, LLMs and Agents, hands-on experiences on code labs, workshops, and networking with speakers and fellow developers.
**Agenda:**

**Tech Talk: Secure Developer Environments in the Age of AI Agents**
**Speaker:** Patrick Brown (Coder)
**Abstract:** Federal engineering teams are under pressure to ship faster while meeting some of the most demanding security and compliance requirements in the world. In this talk, Patrick Brown of Coder explores how cloud development environments (CDEs) give agencies a foundation to accelerate software delivery without sacrificing control — and why that foundation matters even more as AI-powered coding agents enter the workflow. He'll cover how CDEs keep source code off endpoints, enforce zero-trust access patterns, and provide the consistent, ephemeral infrastructure that both human developers and AI agents need to operate safely at scale.
**Speakers:**
Stay tuned as we are updating speakers and schedules.
If you have a keen interest in speaking to our community, we invite you to submit topics for consideration: [Submit Topics](https://forms.gle/JkMt91CZRtoJBSFUA)

Come Sing With the Jubil-Aires!
**Come Sing With the Fairfax Jubil-Aires!**
Do you enjoy singing along to your favorite songs? Curious what it’s like to sing rich four-part harmony with a friendly group? Come visit the weekly rehearsal of the Fairfax Jubil-Aires and see what barbershop singing is all about!
The Fairfax Jubil-Aires are a welcoming mixed a cappella chorus that performs classic and contemporary barbershop harmony. Our members come from all kinds of musical backgrounds—some have years of experience, while others simply love to sing. What we all share is a passion for music, laughter, and community.
Visitors are always welcome at our weekly rehearsals.
You can sit back and observe, or jump right in and sing with us—no pressure either way. You don’t need to read music, and there’s no audition required just to visit.
We rehearse **Wednesday evenings at 7:00 PM in Fairfax**, and we’d love to have you stop by and check it out.
Loudoun Dev Group 006
Join our new group’s fourth meeting. Meet fellow tech enthusiasts west of the beltway.
Our meetings are a great place to work on and show off what you do. We are always welcoming.
Our format is great for people who have started on but not finished one or several side projects.
We will start off with basic introductions and what we are working on, along with what our goals are for the session. We’ll break the rest of the meeting into two working sessions. In between, we’ll do a quick check-in to see how folks are going.
We also have some polls available which we use to shape our events:

If the meetup is full, we encourage you to come anyway.
Fairfax Euchre
