The Flex Jam is "An Exploration of Flex & AIR Programming". It's a MindView event. There's an book you may want to check out in advance of the Jam - it's called "First Steps in Flex". And, there's a group here at Codetown dedicated to Flex called The Flex Loft. What's a Jam? A software jam is a lab-based workshop experience, where you can:
* Have space and time to focus on learning.
* Decide whether you want to work on your own projects or the supplied programming exercises.
* Work alone or in a group.
* Set your own pace, so that you can "go deep" in areas that are important to you.
* Get guidance from an instructor, as needed.
This is going to be a cool event. Check it out at the Mindview website.
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Cloudflare has recently announced new infrastructure designed to run large AI language models across its global network. As these models rely on costly hardware and must handle large volumes of incoming and outgoing text, Cloudflare separates the model's input processing and output generation onto different optimized systems.

DuckDB Labs recently released DuckLake 1.0, a data lake format that stores table metadata in a SQL database rather than across many files in object storage. The first implementation is available as a DuckDB extension and includes catalog-stored small updates, improved sorting and partitioning options, and compatibility with Iceberg-style data features.

JobRunr has introduced ClawRunr, an open-source Java AI agent for scheduled, recurring, and one-off background tasks. Formerly JavaClaw, it runs on users' hardware and combines conversational interaction with persistent task execution, MCP tools, browser automation, and web, Telegram, and Discord channels, while using JobRunr for scheduling, retries, and monitoring.

Confluent introduces a new approach in Apache Kafka that moves schema IDs from message payloads to record headers, aiming to simplify schema governance and evolution. The update integrates with Schema Registry, improves compatibility across serialization formats, and reduces coupling between data and metadata in event-driven architectures.
