Linux Day Milano 2026

The Milan edition of Italy's national Linux Day, the country's largest annual event on GNU/Linux, free software and open culture, running since 2001 under the Italian Linux Society.

Organised by two university communities — POuL at the Politecnico and unixMiB at Milano-Bicocca — and hosted in the Trifoglio building on Campus Leonardo, Via Bonardi 9. Talks, workshops, exhibitor stands and technical help desks span Linux, software development, machine learning, big data, self-hosting, privacy, retro gaming and computing history. From 09:00. Entry is free and open with no ticket required; the published themes are confirmed but individual talk titles and speakers are not listed publicly.

Why go: a free, no-registration day where the help desks mean you can turn up with an actual broken machine or a question. Best for students, self-hosters and anyone curious about Linux without wanting to pay to find out.
