## 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.

Costruire AI Agents nel Claw World (Accesso per registrati via form)
OpenClaw sta entrando nella sua fase di breakout nel 2026. Cloni ovunque, ecosistema in accelerazione, player come NVIDIA e Tencent già dentro.
Con questo primo meetup a Milano, portiamo tutto questo fuori dal rumore e dentro qualcosa di concreto: un evento hands-on per builder, founder, developer e curiosi che vogliono capire e soprattutto costruire.
L’obiettivo è semplice: capire perché OpenClaw sta crescendo così velocemente e cosa puoi iniziare a buildare già oggi.
Niente teoria fine a sé stessa. Setup reali, demo live, casi concreti.
Durante la serata:
* esplorerai il “Claw World” e i suoi use case reali
* vedrai da zero come installare e configurare un AI agent
* capirai come portarlo dentro canali reali come WhatsApp o Telegram
* analizzerai cosa rende questi agent diversi dai chatbot tradizionali
OpenClaw è uno dei progetti open-source più veloci di sempre: 300k+ stelle GitHub, release continue, centinaia di contributor.
Il punto chiave: agenti AI self-hosted, sempre attivi, integrati nei canali che già usi, con pieno controllo su dati e comportamento.
Se stai già sperimentando, acceleri.
Se parti da zero, esci con qualcosa che gira.

OpenClaw Milano #1: Claws land in Milano
**OpenClaw Meetup #1: Claws land in Milano**
OpenClaw is entering its breakout phase in 2026, with many clones landing in our everyday lives, and the builder ecosystem around it is accelerating fast, with NVIDIA and Tencent recently entering the game. We’re launching the very first OpenClaw community meetup in Milan, an informal, hands-on gathering designed for builders, founders, creatives, and curious minds who want to explore, experiment, and build.
The goal is simple: understand why OpenClaw is gaining momentum and what you can start building with it today. Whether you’re already experimenting or just getting started, this session is practical, beginner-friendly, and community-driven.
**🔥 Agenda**
**6:30–7:00 PM — Welcome & Networking**
Arrivals, opening, and meeting fellow builders.
**7:00–7:30 PM — The Age of the Claws starts in 2026**
***Speaker: Luca Bianchi***
NVidia just announced NemoClaw, as their enterprise-ready OpenClaw version. But what is all the fuss about this "claw"?
OpenClaw has emerged as one of the fastest-growing open-source projects in the AI agent space, with over 300k GitHub stars and multiple releases per week. Its core proposition, a self-hosted, always-on personal AI assistant accessible through the messaging channels you already use (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Teams, Signal, and many others) is resonating with developers and teams who want full control over their data, models, and agent's behavior. The session brings you upp to speed into the so-called "Claw World", presenting OpenClaw and its clones. The session includes a live demo of installation and configuration within a secure sandbox environment, walking through the full setup from zero to a working deployment.
**7:30–8:15 PM — OpenClaw: Personal AI Agents at Your Fingertips on WhatsApp**
***Speaker: Alfredo Morresi***
What happens when you give an LLM a well-defined personality, a 24/7 proactive mandate, access to a multitude of digital platforms, specific tasks, a WhatsApp or Telegram account, and the ability to improve by learning from daily interactions?
That's the premise behind OpenClaw — an open-source project that in less than two months went from zero to the most popular project on GitHub, rallied hundreds of contributors, and is reshaping how we interact with AI on a daily, personal level.
In this talk, we'll explore the architecture and ideas behind OpenClaw, what makes personal AI agents different from traditional chatbots, and why this space is moving so fast. Fair warning: the rabbit hole goes deep.
**8:20–9:00 PM — Networking and Happy Hour**
Pizza and catering is offered by our sponsor Denied.dev, the Runtime Authorization Engine for AI Agents. It empower builders to define, enforce, and monitor real-time security boundaries, ensuring autonomous software operates safely in production.
**💡 Why join?**
* Understand why OpenClaw is accelerating in 2026
* See real-world use cases in action
* Get hands-on experience in a supportive environment
* Connect with Milan’s emerging OpenClaw community
* Find inspiration for your next project
This is the first OpenClaw meetup in Milan, and we’re building it together.

Tech Startups in the Pub - Milan (6:30 PM CET)
🍻 **Join Us for Tech Startups in the Pub - Milan Edition!** 🍻
Hey there! 🌟
We'd love for you to join us for our next edition of *Tech Startups in the Pub,* this time in Milan, Italy!
The event is scheduled for **6:30 PM local Italian time**. The platform does not allow us to change the time zone, so we can only create events with the GMT time, thus you will see the invitation for 7:30 PM, but you definitely want to come earlier.
It's a relaxed evening at The O'Connell Irish Pub, and run by Volodymyr. We have been running for 3.5 years in London and we are excited to now run our monthly events in Milan as well, welcoming new folks to the community.
Whether you're a tech founder, an enthusiast, a budding entrepreneur, or simply curious about the tech scene, you'll fit right in. This isn't about panels or pitching, just good old-fashioned networking with like-minded people over a drink on a Thursday evening.
Important information about the location and time. **It is in the ZTL zone**, so please do not come by car. Please use public transport or walk.
**House Rules:**
* Find Volodymyr to introduce yourself so we can welcome you properly. The pub knows we are coming, so you should be able to find us easily.
* No hard selling or heavy pitching. This is a chill, friendly after-work get-together.
* Not drinking? No worries! You're more than welcome to come hang out and enjoy the conversation.
Mark your calendar and come down for some fun tech talk. See you there!

Girlfriends Picnic at Parco Sempione 18.04
Picture this: a relaxed, sun-filled lunch in Parco Sempione, surrounded by greenery, soft blankets, and that effortless, slightly chic picnic vibe we all secretly love.
There’s good wine (of course), fresh non-alcoholic drinks if that’s your thing, and a spread of finger food you can just pick at while chatting, laughing, and slowly getting comfortable. Nothing rushed, nothing too structured—just a really nice moment to pause and enjoy.
And because everyone’s there for the same reason, there will be a few light, fun activities woven in naturally, the kind that make it easy to start conversations and actually get to know the other girls without it feeling awkward or forced.
It’s basically that perfect kind of afternoon where you show up not knowing anyone… and leave feeling like you’ve just expanded your circle in the most effortless way.

GYROTONIC® 17.04
The GYROTONIC® (with equipment) and GYROKINESIS® (without equipment) methods were developed in the 1970s by Juliu Horvath, a professional Hungarian dancer who, after multiple injuries, sought a new approach to rehabilitation. This led him to create GYROTONIC®, an extraordinary discipline that combines elements of dance, yoga, swimming, and tai chi.
In the GYROTONIC® method, exercise sequences consist of rhythmic, circular movements that flow seamlessly from one to the next, allowing the joints to move freely and naturally, without compression. GYROTONIC® is a unique and original method that stimulates the nervous system, tones the muscles, and improves balance, coordination, flexibility, and strength.
The practice of GYROTONIC® is suitable for everyone, including those recovering from injuries who are looking for a new approach to rehabilitation. Each person can naturally adapt the exercises to their own physical condition and needs, so age or fitness level do not matter. The only goal is to regain agility and mobility, helping your body feel healthier and more balanced than ever.

Hike Pickerington Ponds
We'll hike 3.4 miles on the Killdeer and Yellowlegs Trails - both out and back gravel trails. If we want more mileage we can repeat an out and back. Pace of around 3.5 mph, no one left behind and those who want to go faster sure can!
As always optional lunch after.
This is the second Metro Park in the lineup for me - with 21 to go (plus more are being added).
Drunken
This month's prompt concerns the idea of the “warrior philosopher” (seemed appropriate in these times)--that is someone whose understanding of violence, power, and justice is forged through direct experience of war. We are looking at Major General Smedley D. Butler, a highly decorated U.S. Marine raised in a Quaker (pacifist) tradition who later became a prominent critic of American militarism (there is a wonderful biography of Gen. Butler called "Gangsters of Capitalism")
Butler's argument in *War Is a Racket* (1935): that many U.S. interventions were driven less by national defense than by corporate and financial interests, with Butler portraying himself as an enforcer for business and Wall Street. We can consider the moral ambiguity of his insider critique—whether complicity strengthens or undermines credibility and also consider some of the concrete reforms he proposed (e.g., “conscript” capital before soldiers, restrict the military to coastal defense, and have only those who fight decide on war).
Butler’s life arc clearly changed from pacifist upbringing to warrior to antiwar crusader—and asks whether true understanding of peace requires firsthand knowledge of war, and what that implies about the cost of suffering. So do we need to suffer to understand suffering? Do we have to experience war to appreciate peace? As one more question: in the movie "A Few Good Men" Jack Nicholson's character says that "you have the luxury of not knowing what I know" so do most of us go through life oblivious to real violence and suffering? See you at Drunken Philosophy!
