Day-long Nix(OS) meetup in MIlan, as far as I know the first one in Italy!
The event is on meetup and we have a dedicated matrix room, if you want to attend and you don’t want to sign up for proprietary services just write us on Matrix.
If all goes well we were thinking of making the event recurring.
