π TAZ DAY #1 in Riccione: Where Technology, Community and Faith Can Meet
What happens when developers, robot builders, privacy advocates, families, Christians, volunteers, artists and curious people meet in the same physical space?
Maybe that's where the next chapter begins.
TAZ DAY #1 in Riccione is being imagined as more than a technology demonstration.
It is an experiment in bringing different communities together around one idea:
Technology should create connections between people, not separate them.
π€ MyZubster Is Bigger Than Technology
MyZubster started as a software and robotics project.
Today the ecosystem includes:
- π€ robotics;
- π§ AI;
- π‘ IoT;
- π± smart agriculture;
- π³ digital payments;
- π privacy technologies;
- π» open-source development;
- ποΈ community projects.
But an ecosystem isn't complete when the software is finished.
It becomes real when people begin using it.
That's why a physical event matters.
π TAZ DAY #1 β RICCIONE
The idea behind TAZ DAY #1 is to bring the different parts of the ecosystem into one physical environment.
Visitors could encounter:
π€ robots
π³ XMR payment experiments
π‘ IoT devices
π± smart gardens
π§ AI agents
π» open-source projects
And most importantly:
other people.
βοΈ A Place for Christians Too
MyZubster is not a religious platform.
It is an open-source technology ecosystem.
But that doesn't mean Christians cannot use it.
A Christian volunteer could use MyZubster to build:
- a parish website;
- a community garden application;
- an event calendar;
- an educational tool;
- a volunteer-management system;
- an AI assistant;
- an open-source community project.
The technology doesn't determine someone's faith.
People decide how technology is used.
π From Don Oreste to the Digital World
My own connection to this question comes from my experience with Don Oreste Benzi and the ComunitΓ Papa Giovanni XXIII.
I learned values such as:
sharing, community, service and attention to people.
Today I am trying to understand how those values can exist in a digital society.
The answer isn't to turn technology into religion.
The answer is to ask:
Can technology be built around human values?
π± A New Kind of Community
Imagine a place where these people can meet:
Developer

Robot Builder
+
Christian Volunteer
+
Gardener
+
Student
+
Artist
+
Privacy Advocate
+
Family

Shared Projects
They don't need to agree about everything.
They don't need the same beliefs.
They don't even need the same technical skills.
They only need a willingness to build something useful together.
πͺ What About Monero?
Monero is part of the MyZubster ecosystem because we are experimenting with privacy-focused digital payments.
That doesn't mean that everyone attending TAZ DAY needs to use Monero.
It means visitors can see an example of how a digital payment system can interact with physical technology.
For example:
Person
β
Cardputer
β
Payment Request
β
XMR
β
Gateway
β
Robot / Service
The interesting part isn't the cryptocurrency itself.
The interesting part is connecting digital infrastructure with physical reality.
π€ From Code to Physical Reality
At TAZ DAY, the goal is to move beyond GitHub.
A repository can contain thousands of lines of code.
But a physical demonstration answers a different question:
Does the system work outside the computer?
A robot can interact with a person.
A sensor can measure the environment.
A payment device can interact with a wallet.
An AI agent can coordinate a task.
That is where an open-source ecosystem starts becoming tangible.
π Why Call It a "New World"?
The phrase "new world" shouldn't mean that we are creating a new country, replacing existing institutions, or declaring a new religion.
It means something simpler.
We are entering a world where:
- machines can act autonomously;
- AI can assist people;
- communities can build software together;
- physical devices can communicate;
- digital payments can happen directly;
- open-source projects can cross borders.
The social rules around these technologies are still being written.
TAZ DAY is an opportunity to experiment with those possibilities.
π€ Everyone Is Invited
The vision is deliberately broad.
Developers are welcome.
Christians are welcome.
Non-religious people are welcome.
Families are welcome.
Students are welcome.
Artists are welcome.
Researchers are welcome.
Robot enthusiasts are welcome.
People who know nothing about technology are welcome.
You don't have to believe in MyZubster.
You don't have to use Monero.
You don't have to be a programmer.
You can simply come and see what is being built.
ποΈ Different Backgrounds, Shared Future
Perhaps this is the most important idea behind TAZ DAY.
A developer might contribute code.
A Christian volunteer might contribute community experience.
A gardener might contribute knowledge about plants.
A student might build an AI experiment.
A robot enthusiast might build hardware.
A visitor might simply ask a question that changes the direction of the project.
Everyone can contribute something.
π From Riccione to the Future
TAZ DAY #1 is only one event.
But the experiment can grow.
Today:
Riccione
β
People
β
Technology
β
Community
Tomorrow:
Community
β
Open Source
β
Robotics
β
AI
β
IoT
β
Autonomous Services
And eventually, perhaps:
Earth
β
Digital Communities
β
Autonomous Infrastructure
β
New Environments
The future doesn't have to be designed by one group alone.
It can be built by many different communities meeting each other.
β€οΈ The Real Experiment
The most important experiment at TAZ DAY won't be the robot.
It won't be the Cardputer.
It won't be the AI.
It won't even be Monero.
The real experiment will be:
Can people with different backgrounds build something together without having to become the same?
That is the kind of future I want to explore.
A future where technology doesn't erase human values.
A future where open source doesn't mean isolation.
A future where privacy doesn't mean disconnection.
A future where faith and technology can coexist without one having to become the other.
π TAZ DAY #1
Riccione, Italy β September 2026
One physical location.
Many communities.
Robots.
AI.
Open source.
Privacy.
Gardens.
Digital payments.
And people.
TAZ DAY is not the final destination.
It's the beginning of an experiment.
A meeting point between the world we inherited and the digital world we are building.
Maybe that's what a "new world" really means.
Not leaving the old world behind.
Building a better one together.
