*English description below* Come un bookclub ma per i podcast. Ogni mese ci ritroviamo per parlare di un podcast che abbiamo ascoltato e scambiarci pareri, opinioni e consigli su nuovi e possibili ascolti. Questo mese ascoltiamo ***Mamera - La storia nascosta degli Jenish*,** un podcast di Taty Rossi, prodotto dall'Associazione REC. Puoi ascoltarlo su **[Spreaker](https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mamera--6745328 "https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mamera--6745328"), [Apple Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ch/podcast/mamera/id1844590898 "https://podcasts.apple.com/ch/podcast/mamera/id1844590898") e [Radio Gwen](https://www.radiogwen.ch/trans/mamera.php "https://www.radiogwen.ch/trans/mamera.php")** Puoi usare questo schema per annotare le tue riflessioni e condividerle poi con il resto del gruppo [https://bit.ly/fogliotqe_PAZ](https://bit.ly/fogliotqe_PAZ "https://bit.ly/fogliotqe_PAZ") *(Per scaricarlo è necessario avere un account Google)* Questo appuntamento è gentilmente ospitato dal [Selbstlernzentrum di Hönggerberg](https://www.sprachenzentrum.uzh.ch/de/Autonomes-Lernen/Selbstlernzentrum-H%C3%B6nggerberg.html "https://www.sprachenzentrum.uzh.ch/de/Autonomes-Lernen/Selbstlernzentrum-H%C3%B6nggerberg.html"), un centro nato dalla collaborazione tra il Servizio linguistico dell’Università di Zurigo, quello del Politecnico federale di Zurigo, la Biblioteca e il Rettorato dell’ETH Zürich. **Mamera - La storia nascosta degli Jenish** *Dal sito [rec.swiss/mamera](https://rec.swiss/mamera/ "https://rec.swiss/mamera/")* Tra il 1926 e il 1973, il programma “Kinder der Landstrasse”, promosso dalla Fondazione Pro Juventute e sostenuto dalla Confederazione, tolse con la forza centinaia di bambini jenisch alle loro famiglie. Dietro questa operazione si celava un progetto eugenetico, volto a cancellare l’identità di un intero gruppo nomade. Una serie podcast in sette episodi che riporta alla luce questa drammatica storia di discriminazione attraverso testimonianze, documenti e riflessioni, mettendo a fuoco una ferita collettiva e un passato che interpella il presente. **Cosa è P.A.Z. Podcast Ascolti Zurigo?** Il miglior modo per conoscere un podcast è il passaparola. Solitamente questo viaggia attraverso i social media. P.A.Z., acrononimo che sta per Podcast Ascolti Zurigo nasce per scoprire cose nuove da ascoltare e avere la possibilità di parlarne con altri, in persona. Come un bookclub, ma per i podcast. ***English Version*** Each month, we gather to discuss a podcast we've listened to, sharing thoughts, opinions, and recommendations for future listens. This month we are listening to *Mamera – The Hidden History of the Jenish*, a podcast by Taty Rossi, an "Associazione REC" production. You can listen to it on **[Spreaker](https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mamera--6745328 "https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mamera--6745328"), [Apple Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ch/podcast/mamera/id1844590898 "https://podcasts.apple.com/ch/podcast/mamera/id1844590898") e [Radio Gwen](https://www.radiogwen.ch/trans/mamera.php "https://www.radiogwen.ch/trans/mamera.php")** This event is kindly hosted by the [Selbstlernzentrum at Hönggerberg](https://www.sprachenzentrum.uzh.ch/de/Autonomes-Lernen/Selbstlernzentrum-H%C3%B6nggerberg.html "https://www.sprachenzentrum.uzh.ch/de/Autonomes-Lernen/Selbstlernzentrum-H%C3%B6nggerberg.html"), a center established through the collaboration between the Language Center of the University of Zurich, the Language Center of ETH Zurich, as well as the ETH Zurich Library and Rectorate. **Mamera – The Hidden History of the Jenish** From *[rec.swiss/mamera](https://rec.swiss/mamera/ "https://rec.swiss/mamera/")* Between 1926 and 1973, the “Kinder der Landstrasse” program—initiated by the Pro Juventute Foundation and supported by the Swiss Confederation—forcibly removed hundreds of Jenish children from their families. Behind this operation lay a eugenic agenda aimed at erasing the identity of an entire nomadic community. This seven-part podcast series brings this dramatic history of discrimination back to light through testimonies, archival documents, and critical reflection, shedding light on a collective wound and a past that still resonates today. **What's P.A.Z.?** The best way to discover a podcast is through word of mouth, usually traveling through social media. P.A.Z., an acronym for Podcast Ascolti Zurigo, was born to uncover new things to listen to and the chance to discuss them with others in person. Like a book club, but for podcasts. **Is there an entry fee?** The event is free (it would be nice to know how many of us are coming, so if you can, RSVP for free here). Everyone is free to order something at the bar at their own expense. **Do I need to have listened to the entire podcast?** No, you can come even if you haven't heard the entire podcast (but it's better if you have). **Is the podcast to listen to always in Italian?** Yes, currently, P.A.Z. aims to focus on Italian-language podcasts, and anyone who speaks Italian is welcome. **I like it but I can't be there, what can I do?** Feel free to contact me via meetup or, join to our [Whatsapp Group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DBWV6im8RDe98hrP5ehH60), and I will be happy to keep you updated on upcoming events.

Every product feed is flooded with AI hype right now, but what does it actually look like on the ground? Instead of a polished keynote, we are hosting **0 to 1 with AI: Real Product Talks**—a "Show & Tell" featuring 3–4 lightning talks focused on the intersection of AI and product. The framing for the talks is simple: *"Here is what I'm building, and here is what I'm stuck on."* We want to look at the messy, 0-to-1 reality of integrating AI into your workflows and products. *(Want to share what you are working on? Reach out! The bar is low-pressure, just 10–12 minutes to talk about a real AI problem you are trying to solve.)* **Agenda:** * **5:30 PM - 6:00 PM:** Doors open, networking, & name tags * **6:00 PM - 6:10 PM:** Welcome + Chapter Relaunch Intro * **6:10 PM - 7:30 PM:** Lightning Talks (Three 12-min talks + 5 mins Q&A each, with a 5-min stretch break) * **7:30 PM - 8:00 PM:** Open networking * **8:00 PM:** Soft close **Location & Logistics:** Herndon Fortnightly Library (Extended Hours Meeting Room) 768 Center St, Herndon, VA 20170 * **Parking:** We'll meet at the library, located just behind the Herndon Municipal Center. There is plenty of free public parking available around the municipal center. * **Metro & Bus:** Take the Silver Line to Herndon Metro Station, then connect via Fairfax Connector Route 921 or 950 to Historic Downtown Herndon. * **Driving (via VA-267/Dulles Toll Rd):** Take Exit 10 North (Centreville Rd, which becomes Elden St).

Qamaria Yemeni Coffee is authentic, spacious, has a helpful staff, and I like their espresso. If you try this place on your own, they’re open early and late. This spot has been recommended a couple times and I think it’ll make a great stop on our journey. Come out Saturday morning for a relaxed convo. (Please keep your RSVP updated if you know you won't be able to attend, so others who can join have the opportunity to. No discussions on politics, religion or potentially controversial topics. We're here to relax and have fun. Just be respectful and we'll be alright. Pay your own way, and enjoy!)

🍻 [World Product Day](https://www.mindtheproduct.com/world-product-day/) is about more than product — it’s about the people who build them. Join **ProductTank DC** for a celebration bringing together product professionals to connect, reflect, and recharge around this year’s theme: **Resiliency**. Product people are no strangers to change. We adapt, learn, and keep building—together. This evening is an opportunity to step back, celebrate that resilience, and recognize the shared challenges and wins that define our craft. Expect thoughtful conversation, practical insights, and a chance to reconnect with the product community in person. Whether you’re an experienced product leader, a new PM, or simply curious about product management, this meetup is a space to learn, contribute, and celebrate the people doing the hard work of building what’s next. **Special thanks to our host:** Clyde's of Chevy Chase! *Please note: Attendees are responsible for their own food and drink purchases.

A biweekly open-table **West Marches Shadowdark campaign** based mainly on a collection of OSR adventures written by G. Hawkins. **What You'll Need:** 1. *(Recommended):* A laptop, tablet or phone (I will bring a power strip for charging). We will be using a virtual table-top (Owlbear Rodeo), which does not require installation or an account. Alternatively, players can forego the VTT and play using a "Theatre-of-the-Mind" approach. 2. *(Optional)* The *Shadowdark RPG Core Rulebook* or a downloaded copy of the free *[Player Quickstart Guide](http://%5B%5Bhttps//%5Bwww.thearcanelibrary.com/collections/shadowdark-core-rules/products/shadowdark-rpg-quickstart-set-pdf%5D%5D%5D(www.thearcanelibrary.com/collections/shadowdark-core-rules/products/shadowdark-rpg-quickstart-set-pdf%5D%5D)(%5Bhttps://www.thearcanelibrary.com/collections/shadowdark-core-rules/products/shadowdark-rpg-quickstart-set-pdf%5D%5D(https://www.thearcanelibrary.com/collections/shadowdark-core-rules/products/shadowdark-rpg-quickstart-set-pdf%5D))(%5B%5Bhttps://www.thearcanelibrary.com/collections/shadowdark-core-rules/products/shadowdark-rpg-quickstart-set-pdf%5D%5D(https://www.thearcanelibrary.com/collections/shadowdark-core-rules/products/shadowdark-rpg-quickstart-set-pdf%5D)(%5Bhttps://www.thearcanelibrary.com/collections/shadowdark-core-rules/products/shadowdark-rpg-quickstart-set-pdf%5D(https://www.thearcanelibrary.com/collections/shadowdark-core-rules/products/shadowdark-rpg-quickstart-set-pdf))))*[.](http://%5B%5Bhttps//%5Bwww.thearcanelibrary.com/collections/shadowdark-core-rules/products/shadowdark-rpg-quickstart-set-pdf%5D%5D%5D(www.thearcanelibrary.com/collections/shadowdark-core-rules/products/shadowdark-rpg-quickstart-set-pdf%5D%5D)(%5Bhttps://www.thearcanelibrary.com/collections/shadowdark-core-rules/products/shadowdark-rpg-quickstart-set-pdf%5D%5D(https://www.thearcanelibrary.com/collections/shadowdark-core-rules/products/shadowdark-rpg-quickstart-set-pdf%5D))(%5B%5Bhttps://www.thearcanelibrary.com/collections/shadowdark-core-rules/products/shadowdark-rpg-quickstart-set-pdf%5D%5D(https://www.thearcanelibrary.com/collections/shadowdark-core-rules/products/shadowdark-rpg-quickstart-set-pdf%5D)(%5Bhttps://www.thearcanelibrary.com/collections/shadowdark-core-rules/products/shadowdark-rpg-quickstart-set-pdf%5D(https://www.thearcanelibrary.com/collections/shadowdark-core-rules/products/shadowdark-rpg-quickstart-set-pdf)))) 3. **Character design:** Players will roll character stats in person, either with physical dice or using the character-creation-rolls channel in my Discord server. Characters start at level 1. Players can create a stable of up to three characters to choose for use in sessions. If a character dies, a new character can be created (at level 1) as above. I recommend that created characters be entered into the online Shadowdark character creation resource *[[Shadowdarklings.net](http://shadowdarklings.net/)]([https://shadowdarklings.net/create](https://shadowdarklings.net/create))* for long-term storage and updating between sessions. 4. You can bring physical dice or use the VTT built-in dice roller.
