Event Description
This month we'll meet at First Magnitude Brewery and have a relaxed "Open Spaces" style meeting. What is Open Spaces? That's inspired by the formal Open Spaces approach where the subjects that are most interesting get discussed. In our case, we have one member who just finished two smartphone apps, so those case studies are very interesting candidates for discussion. We have another member who is working with a startup that is adding lots of features to their website practically real time. I could go on, but I think you get the idea.
First Magnitude has a big, open courtyard in back, so look for me and bring whatever you'd like to support your talk. Digital is great, too!
FYI, GatorJUG has one ticket to Open Source Bridge to raffle off. It's a fantastic conference. We also may have discounts available to OSCON.
Hope to see you there. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Cloudflare details Town Lake, an internal unified data platform, and Skipper, an AI analytics agent unifying access to operational, billing, security, and business data.

Hardwood, the project Gunnar Morling kick-started to improve the handling of Parquet files in Java, reached version 1. Its multi-threaded approach and zero mandatory external dependencies promise a simpler, optimal alternative to the Apache Parquet Java implementation. For now, the library provides a reading via API and a CLI for visualisation; writing support is expected in the upcoming versions.
