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! 😉

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

A little time for you, your hands, and people who get your vibe. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll design and create your own pair of polymer clay earrings — playful, bold, or minimal, totally your call — and craft a resin jewelry dish for your nightstand, the perfect home for your everyday pieces. No experience needed. Just show up, slow down, and let your creativity do its thing. This is more than a workshop — it’s a space to meet like-minded women, share a relaxed moment, and reconnect with your creative side (the one that usually gets lost between to-do lists). We’ll guide you step by step, but you’ll have full freedom to experiment, mix colors, and create pieces that actually feel like you. And yes — there’s a little aperitivo, because good conversations (and good ideas) need fuel. What you’ll create: A pair of handmade polymer clay earrings A resin jewelry dish for your bedside or vanity Where: Kookie LAB Vibe: relaxed, creative, social (but not awkward) Come alone or bring a friend — either way, you won’t feel like the odd one out. ✨ All materials included ✨ Duration: 2 hours ✨ Language: English **Les Amis** is a women-only community of friendly souls.

[ITA] Domenica 21 faremo squadra per una serata speciale! 🤝 Unisciti a me per un turno di volontariato presso la mensa della Fondazione Fratelli di San Francesco. ​La mensa non è solo un posto dove si distribuisce cibo, ma un rifugio sicuro basato sulla dignità, l'ascolto e il calore umano. La domenica sera è un momento in cui c'è tantissimo bisogno, perché molte altre strutture in città sono chiuse. ​Cosa faremo? Il cibo viene preparato dai cuochi nella cucina accanto, quindi noi non dovremo cucinare. Il nostro compito sarà fondamentale per la gestione della sala: ci porteranno tutto l'occorrente e noi ci occuperemo di allestire lo spazio prima dell'inizio e poi faremo il servizio diretto di distribuzione della cena agli ospiti. ​Non serve alcuna esperienza precedente: faccio volontariato qui da anni, vi spiegherò tutto io sul posto e faremo il turno insieme dall'inizio alla fine! ​📍 Dove: Via Saponaro, 40, Milano ⏰ Quando: Domenica 21, dalle 17:00 alle 20:00 ​📋 Adempimenti importanti: Prima di iniziare il servizio, è obbligatorio compilare una liberatoria che dovrò inviare alla responsabile della struttura. Ti contatterò privatamente per mandartela! ​⚠️ Nota importante sulla presenza: I posti per questo evento sono contati e preziosi. Se ti iscrivi e poi non ti presenti o disdici all'ultimo, toglierai il posto a un altro volontario e metterai in difficoltà il servizio della mensa. Iscriviti solo se sei sicuro al 100% di partecipare. Grazie per la collaborazione! ​[ENG] This Sunday 21st, let's team up for a meaningful evening! 🤝 Join me for a volunteering shift at the Fratelli di San Francesco soup kitchen. ​This place is much more than just distributing food; it’s a safe haven built on dignity, listening, and human warmth. Sunday evening is a very busy time since many other facilities in the city are closed. ​What will we do? The food is prepared by the chefs in the kitchen next door, so we won't be cooking. Our role is key to managing the dining hall: they will bring us everything needed, and we will set up the space before the service starts and then serve dinner directly to the guests. ​No prior experience is needed! I have been a volunteer here for years, so I will guide you through everything and we will do the whole shift together. ​📍 Where: Via Saponaro, 40, Milan ⏰ When: Sunday 21st, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM 💬 Language: A basic understanding of Italian is helpful to interact with the kitchen staff, but I'll be there to help and translate for you! ​📋 Important Requirements: Before starting the shift, you must fill out a liability waiver/release form (liberatoria) which I need to forward to the center's manager. I will message you privately to send it over! ​⚠️ Important Note on Attendance: Spots for this event are limited and very valuable. If you sign up and then change your mind at the last minute or don't show up, you will take away the spot from another volunteer and impact the kitchen service. Please RSVP only if you are 100% sure you can make it. Thank you for your cooperation! ​[ESP] ¡Este domingo 21 nos uniremos para una tarde muy especial! 🤝 Acompáñame en un turno de voluntariado en el comedor social de la Fondazione Fratelli di San Francesco. ​El comedor no es solo un lugar donde se distribuye comida, sino un refugio seguro basado en la dignidad, la escucha y la calidez humana. El domingo por la tarde es un momento de gran necesidad, ya que muchos otros centros de la ciudad están cerrados. ​¿Qué haremos? La comida la preparan los cocineros en la cocina de al lado, por lo que nosotros no tendremos que cocinar. Nuestra labor será clave para la gestión del comedor: nos traerán todo lo necesario y nos encargaremos de preparar el espacio antes del inicio y luego haremos el servicio directo de distribución de la cena a los asistentes. ​No se necesita experiencia previa: llevo años siendo voluntario aquí, ¡así que yo les explicaré todo allí mismo y haremos el turno juntos de principio a fin! ​📍 Dónde: Via Saponaro, 40, Milán ⏰ Cuándo: Domingo 21, de 17:00 a 20:00 h 💬 Idioma: Un conocimiento básico de italiano es útil para interactuar con el personal de la cocina, ¡pero yo estaré allí para ayudarte y traducir! ​📋 Requisitos importantes: Antes de empezar el servicio, es obligatorio rellenar un documento de exención de responsabilidad (liberatoria) que debo enviar a la responsable del centro. ¡Te escribiré por privado para enviártelo! ​⚠️ Nota importante sobre la asistencia: Las plazas para este evento son limitadas y muy valiosas. Si te apuntas y luego no asistes o cancelas a última hora, le quitarás el sitio a otro voluntario y perjudicarás el servicio del comedor. Por favor, apúntate solo si estás 100% seguro de asistir. ¡Muchas gracias por tu colaboración!

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD

Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans. We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans. Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served. This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation.
