Voting Tech & Security: Perspectives on the US, the DRC, and Nigeria
Description changed:
Even if Donald Trump won't acknowledge the U.S. presidential election is now over, we will! On Friday 13 November, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which led federal election protection efforts in the United States, stated that the presidential election was the “most secure in American history”. But how many of us remember the 2016 U.S. presidential election and 2018 midterm elections, which were not at all secure?! How have U.S. exports of "digital democracy" affected countries elsewhere in the world?
Our incredible guest speaker, Dr Joseph Lorenzo Hall, will be joining us at our post-elections November 2020 ICT4D Meetup to talk about voting technology and elections security, sharing perspectives on efforts in the U.S., the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Nigeria. In the U.S., Joe will touch on how "digital democracy" came to be so maligned, an evaluation of the DRC's voting system, and fingerprint reading technology used in Nigeria for voter registration.
SPEAKER'S BIOGRAPHY: Joseph Lorenzo Hall is the Senior Vice President for a Strong Internet at the Internet Society (ISOC), a global non-profit organization dedicated to an open, globally-connected, secure, and trustworthy Internet for everyone. Hall leads ISOC's Strong Internet portfolio including encryption, routing security, time security, open-standards-based secure servers, and making the case for the Internet Way of Networking.
Prior to joining ISOC in 2019, Hall was the Chief Technologist and Director of the Internet Architecture project at the Center for Democracy & Technology. Before that, Hall was an academic, completing postdoctoral research with Helen Nissenbaum at New York University, Ed Felten at Princeton University and Deirdre Mulligan at University of California, Berkeley. Hall received his Ph.D. in information systems from the UC Berkeley School of Information in 2008. His Ph.D. thesis used electronic voting as a critical case study in digital government transparency.
Hall holds master's degrees in astrophysics and information systems from UC Berkeley and was a founding member of the National Science Foundation's ACCURATE Center (A Center for Correct, Usable, Reliable, Auditable and Transparent Elections). He has served as an expert on independent teams invited by the States of California, Ohio and Maryland to analyze legal, privacy, security, usability and economic aspects of voting systems. Hall is the Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors of the California Voter Foundation, a member of the Board of Directors of the Verified Voting Foundation and a member of technical advisory boards to the Los Angeles County's Open Technology Advisory Group, the Electronic Registration Information Center, TechCongress, the Center for Civic Design, and VotingWorks.
In 2012, Hall received the John Gideon Memorial Award from the Election Verification Network for contributions to election verification. In 2017, Hall was part of a team that received the Researcher Award at the 2017 O'Reilly Security Defender Awards in recognition of the team's dedication and innovative contributions to election security for organizing the first Voting Machine Hacking Village at DEFCON 25.
We hope you join us for this incredible opportunity to hear from one of the greatest minds and defenders of voting technology and security!

We will keep it very light (pardon the pun) and hopefully it will be a bit of fun before the weekend to enjoy over your lunch hour.
As we’ve often talked about, lightning talks are a great opportunity to try, test or hone your speaking and presentation skills. They are usually under 7 minutes, with 2 minutes of Q+A. If you'd like to give a talk at the event please get in touch or sign up on Eventbrite and select the "I'd like to give a lightning talk" ticket.

LJC Virtual Meetup: An Experiment in Continuous Deployment of JVM applications
Description changed:
***This is a placeholder for the event being run on Eventbrite. Please sign up with your full name at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ljc-virtual-meetup-an-experiment-in-continuous-deployment-of-jvm-applications-registration-105284538890?aff=meetup ***
About the event
A couple of years ago, continuous integration in the JVM ecosystem meant Jenkins. Since that time, a lot of other tools have been made available. But new tools don’t mean new features, just new ways. Besides that, what about continuous deployment? There’s no tool that allows deploying new versions of a JVM-based application without downtime. The only way to achieve zero downtime is to have multiple nodes deployed on a platform, and let that platform achieve that e.g. Kubernetes.
And yet, achieving true continuous deployment of bytecode on one single JVM instance is possible if one changes one’s way of looking at things. What if the compilation could be seen as changes? What if those changes could be stored in a data store, and a listener on this data store could stream those changes to the running production JVM via the Attach API?
In this talk, we'll demo exactly that using Hazelcast and Hazelcast Jet - but it’s possible to re-use the principles that will be shown using other streaming technologies.

We're back with our 3rd LJC Lunchtime Lightning Talks session.
This is going to be run in a similarly informal style to an unconference, in that the right talks will be done by the people that are there. Here are some of the speakers so far, we'll continue to update this page as more talks are announced:
Karsten Silz - Google Jib: Smaller & Faster Docker Images for Java Applications
César Tron-Lozai - Blazing fast Fibonacci with Kotlin and Arrow
Lakshmi Rao - Productionizing Machine Learning Pipelines for online prediction
Rossano D'Angelo - Deploy a webapp in minutes with Firebase
Ilan Pillemer - Talk tbc
We will aim to have 4-5 lightning talks followed by a session in the breakout rooms. You can tune in and tune out as you wish. The talks can be on anything you’re interested in.
We will keep it very light (pardon the pun) and hopefully it will be a bit of fun before the weekend to enjoy over your lunch hour.
As we’ve often talked about, lightning talks are a great opportunity to try, test or hone your speaking and presentation skills. They are usually under 7 minutes, with 2 minutes of Q+A.
This is an online event starting at 12.30pm BST. Attendees will be sent a link on or before the day of the event.

About the event
So your microservice system has been up and running for a while. You know you’ve diligently employed every ounce of your experience and knowledge over time to design a sensible application architecture, with hopefully sensible boundaries.
But time is now throwing new questions your way:
Are my boundaries still sensible?
Have any anti-patterns crept in, have I inadvertently created the dreaded distributed monolith?
This talk explores how network science and graph theory techniques can be applied to help gain insight into, and explore questions about your microservices architecture.

Join the LJC over the next 3 weeks for a series of Apache Kafka talks by Robin Moffatt. Robin is a Senior Developer Advocate at Confluent, the company founded by the original creators of Apache Kafka, as well as an Oracle ACE Director (Alumnus).
Talk 1: Apache Kafka and ksqlDB in Action: Let’s Build a Streaming Data Pipeline! - Wednesday 29th April at 7pm
Talk 2: From Zero to Hero with Kafka Connect - Wednesday 6th May at 7pm
Talk 3: Introduction to ksqlDB - Wednesday 13th May at 7pm
Apache Kafka and ksqlDB in Action : Let’s Build a Streaming Data Pipeline!
Kafka is a whole lot more than just a message bus! It includes stream processing and integration capabilities, and this talk will be mostly live coding to demonstrate what can be built around it, how to do it - and why to do it.
Have you ever thought that you needed to be a programmer to do stream processing and build streaming data pipelines? Think again! Apache Kafka is a distributed, scalable, and fault-tolerant streaming platform, providing low-latency pub-sub messaging coupled with native storage and stream processing capabilities. Integrating Kafka with RDBMS, NoSQL, and object stores is simple with Kafka Connect, which is part of Apache Kafka. ksqlDB is the source-available SQL streaming engine for Apache Kafka, and makes it possible to build stream processing applications at scale, written using a familiar SQL interface.
In this talk, we’ll explain the architectural reasoning for Apache Kafka and the benefits of real-time integration, and we’ll build a streaming data pipeline using nothing but our bare hands, Kafka Connect, and ksqlDB.
From Zero to Hero with Kafka Connect
Integrating Apache Kafka with other systems in a reliable and scalable way is often a key part of a streaming platform. Fortunately, Apache Kafka includes the Connect API that enables streaming integration both in and out of Kafka. Like any technology, understanding its architecture and deployment patterns is key to successful use, as is knowing where to go looking when things aren’t working.
This talk will discuss the key design concepts within Kafka Connect and the pros and cons of standalone vs distributed deployment modes. We’ll do a live demo of building pipelines with Kafka Connect for streaming data in from databases, and out to targets including Elasticsearch. With some gremlins along the way, we’ll go hands-on in methodically diagnosing and resolving common issues encountered with Kafka Connect. The talk will finish off by discussing more advanced topics including Single Message Transforms, and deployment of Kafka Connect in containers.
Introduction to ksqlDB
You’ve got streams of data that you want to process and store? You’ve got events from which you’d like to derive state or build aggregates? And you want to do all of this in a scalable and fault-tolerant manner? It’s just as well that Kafka and ksqlDB exist!
This talk will be built around a live demonstration of the concepts and capabilities of ksqlDB. We’ll see how you can apply transformations to a stream of events from one Kafka topic to another. We’ll use ksqlDB connectors to bring in data from other systems and use this to join and enrich streams—and we’ll serve the results up directly to an application, without even needing an external data store.

How to grow the cooperative economy, support and sustain radical technology, and create positive social impact in its locality.
About this Event
In this workshop Polly, who has been developing SPACE4 since it began in 2017, will share some of her top tips. SPACE4 is a work, training and events space that is run by Outlandish Cooperative with support from the wider CoTech community. It aims to grow the cooperative economy, support and sustain radical technology, and create positive social impact in its locality.
In 2019 SPACE4 moved from its original location to a larger space. We have been contracted by Islington Council to operate this space for the next 10 years. We are now building partnerships in order to deliver more, as well as continuing to develop our core programme of public training and events and bespoke support for our community. We're already in discussions about operating new spaces and projects across the UK in collaboration with local partners.
This workshop will build on the SPACE4 case study, and Polly's 10 years of experience working in related fields, to discuss how to procure a building or space, how to fund space-related projects, and tips for developing a cohesive and impactful community. We'll also touch on some aspirations for SPACE4, highlighting examples of inspiring projects and best-practice from around the world.

About the event
We needed to validate our use cases with tests:
That specify the user intents, not the technical details
That are human-readable (but without regex tricks)
That run both end-to-end to verify our infrastructure
And using the domain only to verify our hexagonal architecture
This talk is about how we solved these problems with the DDT approach and how you can apply this technique on your own backend application. A demonstration with live coding will show how to write them and use
it to drive the development.
Who should attend this event?
People interested in clean coding and acceptance testing. The presentation is quite technical but the ideas can be useful not only to developers.
What will people learn?
This talk will teach you a new approach to test your system that can be immediately useful, especially if you are aiming for continuous delivery. The main focus of the talk will be on the idea of Domain Driven Test, where we write an abstract test using Actors on a Stage that will run across multiple implementations. This allows us to use the same tests for both the end-to-end validation and the modelling of our business logic.
This is an online event starting at 7 pm BST. Attendees will be sent a link on or before the day of the event.

LJC Virtual Event: Fantastic Performance and where to find it

This example-driven talk will guide you through concrete approaches to using continuous profilers in a production environment.
Remember the old days - when your software stack was simple to understand and requirements were less demanding? With modern systems distributed microservices talk to each other all the time over the network. Cloud deployments mean a huge variance in the type of hardware that you deploy to. Rapid iteration and deployment cycles result in rapidly changing workloads that invalidate performance tests before they’re written. Globalised, 24/7 uptimes mean that functional or performance outages aren’t acceptable at any point in time.
These changes have helped businesses get their product out to market much more rapidly but they often make it harder for developers to find and fix performance problems or to improve the efficiency of their systems.
From attending this talk you’ll understand:
Common profiling visualisations and reports
How to use profilers to solve performance problems
The benefits of continuous, exploratory, profiling.
How to improve scalability, have happier customers and reduce infrastructure costs

Join our friends at the London CTOs for their upcoming talk on Rethinking Cloud Migrations with Omar Bashir.
Benefits of migrating a firm’s technology estate to the cloud are well known. These include cost reduction, operational efficiency, scalability and technological agility leading to shorter time to market and higher operating margins. But these benefits are only realised once such migrations also involve transformation in the way technology is developed and delivered.
Decisions ranging from product management to engineering and operations affect the outcome of these initiatives. An outcome driven approach to cloud migration and transformation minimises associated risks.
This talk discusses how deviating from such an approach leads to failed cloud migrations.

This is going to be run in a similarly informal style to an unconference, in that the right talks will be done by the people that are there. So we don’t yet know what will be on. We will update this when we know.
We will aim to have 2-3 lightning talks followed by a 5 minute session in break out rooms, then another few lightning talks. You can tune in and tune out as you wish. The talks can be on anything you’re interested in.
We will keep it very light (pardon the pun) and hopefully it will be a bit of fun before the weekend to enjoy over your lunch hour.
As we’ve often talked about, lightning talks are a great opportunity to try, test or hone your speaking and presentation skills. They are usually for 5 minutes, with 2 minutes of Q+A.
This is an online event starting at 12.30pm BST. Attendees will be sent a link on or before the day of the event.
This event is organised by RecWorks on behalf of the London Java Community.

This talk will present Corda, a blockchain platform written in Kotlin and targeting the JVM.
We will describe briefly what are the problems that can be solved via a blockchain or a distributed ledger platform, such as Corda. This will be followed by an introduction to the key concepts and the architecture of Corda. Last but definitely not least, we will explore a sample use case in the field of supply chain through a demo of an application built on Corda.
Who should attend this event?
Anyone that wants to learn more about blockchain and distributed ledger technologies and how they can be used in practice from a business and technical perspective. No prior knowledge is necessary, but some familiarity with Kotlin (or Java) & Spring will help you make the most out of the demo in the end.
What will people learn?
Attendees will learn the high-level architecture of Corda, the key concepts and how to develop a distributed application on Corda (CorDapp).
About our speaker
Dimos Raptis is currently working as a Software Engineer for R3 on the Corda blockchain platform. His main areas of interest are distributed systems, clean & elegant software and testing, but this list keeps growing alarmingly.
He is blogging at https://dimosr.github.io/blog and tweeting at @dimosr7.
This is an online event starting at 7pm BST. Attendees will be sent a link on or before the day of the event.

Microprocessors have evolved over decades to eke out performance from existing code. But the microarchitecture of the CPU leaks into the assumptions of a flat memory model, with the result that equivalent code can run significantly faster by working with, rather than fighting against, the microarchitecture of the CPU.
In this talk, Alex Blewitt will present the microarchitecture of modern CPUs, showing how misaligned data can cause cache line false sharing, how branch prediction works and when it fails, how to read CPU specific performance monitoring counters and use that in conjunction with tools like perf and toplev to discover where bottlenecks in CPU heavy code live. We’ll use these facts to revisit performance advice on general code patterns and the things to look out for in executing systems. The talk will be language agnostic, although it will be based on the Linux/x86_64 architecture.
Who should attend this event?
Developers who want to understand how (Intel) x86 processors work and who want to optimise software for greater performance.
What will people learn?
Attendees will learn how to use various low level performance tools on Linux for measuring where performance lies.
About our speaker
Alex Blewitt has been working with Java since its first release, and has worked on JVM projects at Goldman Sachs and Credit Suisse, where he was the JCP representative until 2016. He co-founded the Docklands.LJC and has spoken about Java and performance at several conferences, and writes for InfoQ about Java and JVM topics.
Before moving to Santander in 2020 he worked at Apple on Swift, and has authored books in Swift and Eclipse plugin development.
Alex lives and works in Milton Keynes, and if the weather's nice, goes flying from nearby Sywell.
This is an online event starting at 7pm BST. Attendees will be sent a link on or before the day of the event.
