**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? **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!

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. Antonio

In questo talk vi porteremo alla scoperta di **come si costruisce un AI Agent all’interno di un SaaS B2B** come Skillsincloud, il nostro LMS proprietario che viene utilizzato da +100k utenti. Analizzeremo l’integrazione dei modelli di **AWS Bedrock** all'interno della nostra infrastruttura esistente, affrontando le vere sfide di produzione: * **Oltre la Chat**: Orchestrare il "Tool Use" per permettere all'AI di interagire con il database e non solo di conversare. * **Sicurezza:** Pattern di design per il controllo dei permessi (RBAC) e flussi di conferma "Human-in-the-loop" per prevenire azioni non autorizzate. * **Knowledge Base**: Strategie di RAG per rendere l'agente consapevole del contesto multi-tenant Uno sguardo pratico sull'architettura che stiamo adottando per portare l'AI generativa nel cuore dei processi della piattaforma. **Real world Retrieval-Augmented Generation** **Andrea Saltarello -** Founder di Improove Dalla ricerca vettoriale con Aurora PostgreSQL ai modelli LLM e di embedding con Amazon Bedrock (e suburbia), AWS mette a disposizione tutti gli ingredienti necessari per implementare Retrieval-Augmented Generation: a fare la differenza, però, è la ricetta, a partire dall'arricchimento dei metadati.

Ciao! L'appuntamento di **marzo** è per **mercoledì 11 alle 19** con un altro interessante talk in presenza, sempre al [Politecnico di Milano](https://www.google.com/maps/place/45%C2%B028'41.3%22N+9%C2%B013'43.6%22E/@45.478127,9.228763,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d45.478127!4d9.228763?entry=ttu)! Questo mese lo speaker sarà **Girolamo Giannatempo**, con il talk **Accessibilità ed estetica: davvero sono incompatibili?** Nel mondo del design, l’accessibilità viene ancora troppo spesso vissuta come un insieme di regole da rispettare a malincuore, qualcosa che “rovina” l’estetica o limita la libertà progettuale. Spoiler: non è così. In questo talk parleremo di come progettare interfacce accessibili senza rinunciare alla qualità visiva, mostrando perché accessibilità ed estetica non solo possono convivere, ma possono rafforzarsi a vicenda. Partendo da esempi concreti e scelte progettuali reali, vedremo cosa succede quando l’accessibilità viene integrata fin dalle prime fasi del progetto: meno compromessi, decisioni più consapevoli, soluzioni più solide e più facili da spiegare anche in azienda (sì, anche a quel collega scettico). Ne parliamo insieme a Girolamo Giannatempo, designer di interfacce e certified web accessibility expert, che da anni aiuta aziende e team di design a rendere i loro siti web accessibili e inclusivi, senza sacrificare identità visiva e qualità dell’esperienza. Una chiacchierata pensata per chiunque lavori su interfacce digitali e voglia portare l’accessibilità fuori dalla checklist e dentro il progetto \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Saremo in diretta streaming** Non puoi partecipare di persona?

**Are you ready for the Milano–Cortina Winter Olympics? We’re not.** **That’s why we’ve created our very own Ostello Bello "Olympic" Games: a glorious display of questionable athletic skills and high-level nonsense.** While the "other" guys are busy with the official **Milano-Cortina 2026** ceremonies, we’re bringing the real "action" to the streets of Milan. From February 6th, we aren't gathering to break world records; we’re gathering to break the laws of physics. This isn’t about the podium; it’s about the survival of the chillest. Get your "winter" gear ready, because we’re about to prove that being an elite athlete is 10% talent and 90% just showing up for the vibes. **The Incentive:** Every participant gets a **shot**. The "legends" who actually win take home an **Ostello Bello T-shirt or a Drink**. ## The Disciplines: Official "Technical" Standards Every day from **7 PM to 9 PM**, our "athletes" will face a rotating schedule of these elite winter disciplines: ### 1\. Air Hockey: The Wrist\-Flick Battle A high-speed duel where the only thing frozen is your gaze on the puck. * **The Goal:** Smash the plastic disc into the hole. * **Requirement:** Move your hand faster than your brain can process and celebrate every point like you’ve just secured a gold medal. ### 2\. Boxing\-Glove Beer Pong: The Clumsy Champion Challenge We took a classic and made it impossible by adding the "Yeti factor." * **The Twist:** You have to play wearing massive, padded boxing gloves. * **The Challenge:** Gripping a tiny ball with giant hands is the ultimate test of patience. Success here is statistically unlikely and basically a miracle. ### 3\. DIY Curling: The Professional Slide The most serious-looking sport in our program. We’ve replaced expensive stones with pots and ice with felt pads, but the tension is real. * **The Setup:** A "House" (target) taped on the floor and a "Hog Line" for the release. * **The Action:** Launch the pot while your teammates run alongside it with brooms, screaming *"Hurry! Hard!"* just like in the real tournaments. * **The Score:** Closest pot to the center wins. Clean floors are a bonus. ### BONUS DAY: The "Wildcard" Game The discipline is a mystery. Our local legends will choose the challenge. Expect the unexpected: and probably more shots. **AND REPEAT.**

**Our March pick is *God of the Woods* by Liz Moore.** **This month’s novel is an award-winning literary mystery that blends family drama with psychological suspense. It explores women’s voices and relationships while delivering an exciting, eerie, and deeply suspenseful story. The book is 576 pages in print or 14 hours and 35 minutes on audiobook.** Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found. As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.
