Did you know OSCON is coming to Amsterdam this year? It's just a little more than a week away. You'll find a whole new set of speakers with an entirely different range of subjects from OSCON in Portland.
Time is of the essence, OSCON is only a couple weeks away! If you've decided that OSCON isn't in the cards for you this year, think again. We have a special OSCON Pavilion Plus Pass deal we wanted to share with you.
The OSCON Pavilion Plus Pass is your ticket to the OSCON experience without a strain on your budget.
Here's what you can do with your pass:
Visit the Sponsor Pavilion - Talk with OSCON exhibitors, test drive new tools, compare products, spend time with speakers and authors, and much more
Take part in two technical sessions. You get to choose two sessions from the full program which includes learning about microservices, Rails API's, concurrency in Python and many more.
Enjoy OSCON's extracurricular events like the Sponsor Pavilion Opening Reception and Ignite
Join in the all-important hallway track conversations. Meet, greet, and network with hundreds of like minds
There's a lot more that's included in the Sponsor Pavilion Plus Pass—check it out. OSCON happens 26-28 October. Sign up for your Pavilion Plus Pass (only €99) before we run out.
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.

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.

Hilary Mason shares her journey from academia to building AI products at scale. She discusses the shift from discrete engineering to probabilistic mindsets, explaining why managing "human considerations" is the hardest part of the stack. She explains the "existential crisis" for engineers, arguing that great architecture today is about context management, systems thinking, and good taste.
