Tune in this Friday for “LJC lunchtime lightning talks”.
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 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.

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.

Description
Recent research published by New Relic (https://blog.newrelic.com/technology/state-of-java/) demonstrated that only 11.11% of JVMs analysed are using Java 11, with the majority of the community remaining on Java 8. We invite you to join our panel of Java Champions and Java Experts as we discuss the challenges that have been faced in moving to Java 11.
We will be joined by Alex Blewitt from Santander, Ben Evans from New Relic, Elspeth Minty from Morgan Stanley and Martijn Verburg from Microsoft. Jim Gough will be fielding an initial set of questions and we will take Q&A from the audience over Zoom.
Who should attend this event?
Anyone who is not running Java 11 :) - but also those that are to share their own experiences with the migration. If you run or own Java in production this will be a useful session
What will people learn?
Attendees will learn how to get around some of the challenges of moving to Java 11 and learn the experiences of developers that have already gone through the migration.
This is an online event starting at 12.30pm BST. Attendees will be sent a link on or before the day of the event.

Ben Evans Lightning Talk
New Relic recently published the results of their Java ecosystem research based on data sent to them by their customer's JVMs. Ben Evans, Java Champion and Principal Engineer at New Relic (as well as long-time LJC alumnus) joins us remotely from Barcelona for a lightning talk and Q&A about the results and what they tell us about Java usage in 2020.
Evolving Compilation with Graal
When Java was released in 1995 it was slow, a reputation it has carried for many years… Today Java can give performance that is comparable to C++ and can emit instructions that are more optimal than code which is statically compiled. But how?
This talk will explore practical examples and the subsystems that are involved in interpreting, compiling and executing a simple Hello World Application. We will dive into JIT compilation and the arrival of the JVM Compiler Interface (JVMCI) to explore how optimisations are applied to boost the performance of our application. We will discuss HotSpot, explore Graal and the JVM ecosystem to discover performance benefits of a platform 25 years in the making.

Remote working for teams - how to make it work for real
For whatever reason you need to work apart from your colleagues. This time though it's a bigger challenge: this time it has to be for longer than the odd day. Gone is working from home to get your head down to write code. This may go on for sometime so now you and your team need to work effectively together using whatever digital technologies you can lay hands on. It’s a tall order.
In the old days (like last week) we’d have organised a meetup and had a few experienced folk explain how to rise to the challenge. Obviously that’s not really advisable so in the spirit of the moment let’s try something a little different.
We are running a virtual roundtable with everyone remotely connected: a moderator to keep things focused, a panel of experienced (or at least opinionated) advisors and an audience that can interact with the panellists. Be part of an interesting experiment and hear good advice about how to work remotely in teams.
Topics will include:
Thoughts on the right tech to use
How digital meetings work (or don’t) compared to face to face
How to keep sane when no one can see what you’re wearing
Can pair-programming work remotely?
Communicating with others when you can’t read body language (how to tell if someone is upset or happy)
How to get the team cohesive
and finally....
How to not work too hard when at home.
About the panellists

Digital Workplace Summit is the leading event to address the digital workplace revolution, boost employee engagement and power the future of work – offering unparalleled access to decision makers, visionaries, influencers and disruptors from the world of enterprise and tech.
Design plays a key role in our every day lives. Whether we explicitly notice it or not, so much around us is consciously designed - our buildings and cities, the tools and services we use, books, images, websites and images. Yet when capitalism encroaches on all elements of life, graphic designers are forced into advertising, and architects have little choice but to design banks and shopping centres. As we face global political insecurity and environmental catastrophe, what role can designers play in building strong social movements?
This event will bring together designers who are interested in applying their skills to social issues and building social movements. Join us to hear their thoughts, and discuss the issues at stake. We'll be hearing from:
Gemma Copeland
Gemma is an interdependent digital designer. She is a member of Common Knowledge, a worker cooperative that designs digital tools for grassroots activists. She is also part of the new Designers + Cultural Workers branch of United Voices of the World. Gemma will discuss the agency that designers have in building alternative social and political structures, given that design is inherently an imaginative and relational practice.
Autonomous Design Group
Autonomous Design Group is an independent collective of designers,
artists and creatives opposed to capitalism and authoritarianism. They
believe that the aesthetic is of vital importance in the terrain of
political struggle; all their designs are available open-source and they
design for a variety of groups www.weareadg.org. They will give a brief historical introduction to brief history political design collectives
(Atelier Populaire, Grapus, DSG) and discuss their work and motivations.
Robbie Blundell
Robbie Blundell works as an interdependent graphic designer.
Through this he has recently been developing and maintaining an assemblage of aesthetics, cooperatives, technologies, identities, communities, politics, friends and cultures. He is a member of Evening Class and previously co-produced Strike magazine.
Julian Siravo & Francesca Farruggia
Julian & Francesca are part of Autonomy_Urban and has been developing a series of de-commodified infrastructures for work, including co-working facilities, SME logistics support services and an infrastructure for the future of ageing and social care. He’ll be presenting the latter of the three, Long Term Care Centres looking at how we can build a home for community care a cooperative nursing.
The Venue/Organiser
SPACE4 is a work and events space that aims to bring together people and organisations to use digital technology for social good and activism. We particularly work with cooperatives and non-hierarchical organisations, and is part of CoTech, the UKs network of digital co-operatives.

On Monday 2nd March we'll have an OpenStreetMap pub meet-up at the Parcel Yard Pub in Kings Cross station from 6:30. Join us for friendly social beers and chit chat on the subject of OpenStreetMap (contributing/using experienced/beginners, whatever interests you in and around OpenStreetMap!)
The pub is quite big, but hidden away at the back of the main station curvy roofed bit, up some steps. (1st floor. We won't be on the 2nd floor posh dining area) We'll try to get a table, but at first we may have to loiter near the bar. If we are organised we'll have OSM polo shirts or hi-vis jackets on show. If you don't know anyone it'll be a bit easier to find us if you show up a bit late. ...not too late though. We'll probably end up going to eat burritos on the station balcony later on.
Set yourself as attending on here! (if you can figure out how to). Sign-up not actually required. It is just a pub after all. You can expect between 5 and 10 people attending.

GraphQL in Java - Lightning Talk
Details TBC
Java Flight Recorder and How It Can Help You
JFR is finally hitting the mainstream. This talk explains what JFR is, where it came from and why it is only really now that all Java developers can start to use it to best effect.
We'll talk about the open-source Java 11 edition of JFR (and JMC) but will also touch on the Java 8 backport. Finally, we'll talk about Java 14 JFR Event Streaming and why this is so significant.

Design plays a key role in our every day lives. Whether we explicitly notice it or not, so much around us is consciously designed - our buildings and cities, the tools and services we use, books, images, websites and images. Yet when capitalism encroaches on all elements of life, graphic designers are forced into advertising, and architects have little choice but to design banks and shopping centres. As we face global political insecurity and environmental catastrophe, what role can designers play in building strong social movements?
This event will bring together designers who are interested in applying their skills to social issues and building social movements. Join us to hear their thoughts, and discuss the issues at stake. We'll be hearing from:
Gemma Copeland
Gemma is an interdependent digital designer. She is a member of Common Knowledge, a worker cooperative that designs digital tools for grassroots activists. She is also part of the new Designers + Cultural Workers branch of United Voices of the World. Gemma will discuss the agency that designers have in building alternative social and political structures, given that design is inherently an imaginative and relational practice.
Autonomous Design Group
Autonomous Design Group is an independent collective of designers,
artists and creatives opposed to capitalism and authoritarianism. They
believe that the aesthetic is of vital importance in the terrain of
political struggle; all their designs are available open-source and they
design for a variety of groups www.weareadg.org. They will give a brief historical introduction to brief history political design collectives
(Atelier Populaire, Grapus, DSG) and discuss their work and motivations.
Robbie Blundell
Robbie Blundell works as an interdependent graphic designer.
Through this he has recently been developing and maintaining an assemblage of aesthetics, cooperatives, technologies, identities, communities, politics, friends and cultures.
He is a member of Evening Class and previously co-produced Strike magazine.
SPACE4 is a work and events space that aims to bring together people and organisations to use digital technology for social good and activism. We particularly work with cooperatives and non-hierarchical organisations.

Java to Golang: An Intro
Golang is a popular second language choice for Java developers but coming at Golang from Java can be confusing. Let's try to get our bearings with Golang and its ecosystem. We'll aim to get a feel for Go code but most of all the way the ecosystem works, how dependencies are handled and the landscape of tools.
The shift from Java to Golang has challenges at a language level. But more challenging is learning your way around without Spring Boot selecting libraries and offering canonical uses.
Kubernetes Operators with Go: A Short Case Study with Zeebe
Go’s support for Kubernetes is awesome. Here, Mauricio Salatino will dive into what you can achieve by walking us through how the Zeebe operator creates Kubernetes resources to satisfy Custom Resource requests.
Java vs Challenger Languages
Java recently lost the ‘most popular language’ crown. Is it still cool? Are challenger languages like Go stealing its mojo? We’ll discuss why perceptions of Java might be shifting and reasons to be hopeful about its future.
About the speakers
Ryan Dawson is a core member of the Seldon open source team, providing tooling for machine learning deployments to Kubernetes (https://github.com/SeldonIO/seldon-core/). He has spent 10 years working in the Java Development scene in London across a variety of industries.

Neighbourhood Watched: How Police surveillance undermines digital privacy
Description changed:
From facial recognition to social media monitoring, from remote hacking to the use of mobile surveillance equipment called 'IMSI catchers', UK police forces are using an ever-expanding array of surveillance tools to spy on us as we go about our everyday lives. Too often, these new and intrusive spying technologies are rolled out without the say, or even the knowledge, of the public or their locally elected representatives.
The use of police surveillance technologies can threaten our privacy and may cause us to change who we associate with and what we feel we can do and say. These technologies can also be used to target, profile and discriminate against certain communities - including minority, low-income and politically active communities.
Join us in London to hear about Privacy International & Liberty's campaign for the public to have a greater say as to whether their local police force should be allowed to use such highly intrusive technologies.
Speaker:
Camilla Graham Wood - Privacy International Legal Officer

EventStorming Master Class (London Edition) by Alberto Brandolini, inventor of EventStorming
Description changed:
EventStorming is a workshop format invented by Alberto Brandolini that promotes collaboration between different disciplines in order to solve business problems in the most effective way.
Course abstract
EventStorming is a workshop format that enables massive learning on complex business domains and promotes collaboration between different disciplines and across teams.
A visually effective problem-solving technique that puts everyone on the same page, EventStorming was greatly defined by Dan North: "In any EventStorming session of all different kinds, everyone knows what everyone else knows".
Target Audience
EventStorming is interdisciplinary. The specialistic notation is dropped in favor of an incremental lo-fi approach that allows an inclusive approach while driving the exploration towards the most sensitive areas. Every participant will actively contribute.
What will you learn
In this two-day workshop, we’ll practice three different flavors (Big Picture, Process Modelling and Software Design), applied to real-world business problems.
We’ll take into account the different perspectives (including the facilitator) in a process that spans large-scale discovery, to leverage collaborative design.
We’ll experience the how, and we’ll discuss the why.
WHY DOES SERVERLESS ARCHITECTURE MATTER FOR ENTERPRISE?
Description changed:
Serverless architecture will provide a myriad of commercial and technical benefits and opportunities for enterprise and represents a revolutionary approach to the development of new software initiatives and applications.
But what is serverless architecture and why does it matter in terms of enterprise scalability and cost control? Serverless architecture will enable enterprise to rapidly shift away from legacy technology systems and infrastructure. In the modern digital age, all enterprises are ‘technology companies’ and serverless architecture will provide a fast and effective way to redefine how IT services are developed and deployed.
Join us for the Waracle Meetup on January 29th 2020 – for top talks and amazing insights, expert advice and real-world examples of how serverless architecture is disrupting the status quo, and breathing new life into old methods. Take a dive into the future of enterprise and learn how serverless architecture is enabling big business to overcome the challenges of dealing with legacy technology and infrastructure. If you’re serious about powering your enterprise through digital innovation then this meetup is for you.
It may not make the headlines, but Brexit’s impact on UK life online will be a gamechanger. Join us for a night with Open Rights Group to discuss how leaving the European Union will affect how UK residents experience the Internet.
Speakers
Javier Ruiz, Policy Director at Open Rights Group
Javier will explain how post-Brexit international trade deals with the United States and other countries could impact UK rights online. Trade agreements increasingly include clauses to promote digital trade, which unfortunately tend to translate into weakening the protection of the personal data of ordinary people and increasing the protections on the algorithms and trade secrets of businesses. Entering these agreements will put the UK in a difficult position as it strives to maintain the current arrangements for data flows with the EU.
Duncan McCann, Senior Researcher at New Economics Foundation
Duncan will speak on the potential impacts to the digital economy as well as potential trade offs of the UK needing to urgently sign trade agreements with the US and the EU. The UK needs to sign deals fast to demonstrate that the UK is open for business in a post Brexit environment. However this will only be achievable if some or all of the US and EU demands are conceded on, in areas such as food security, access to the NHS or data protection. We will explore some of the ways forward. Duncan will also highlight briefly some of the wider impacts of the digital trade chapters beyond digital privacy.
Mike Morel, Campaigns Manager at Open Rights Group
Mike will provide an overview of EU laws and institutions that currently influence UK rights to free speech online and digital privacy. Find out which protections will disappear, which will remain, and what could happen in a no-deal scenario.
We want to start 2020 with a high level talk, for those who need high availability with MySQL, using purely open source tools.
Matthias is a well known, highly experienced database consultant. Some of you already met him. The event is sponsored by Pythian.
AGENDA
========
* 18:00 - Arrival and networking
* 18:20 - Pizza & Drinks, kindly offered by Pythian
* 18:30 - Intro by Federico Razzoli
* 18:40 - "How to combine ProxySQL and Orchestrator to eliminate single-points-of-failure in your MySQL HA cluster", by Matthias Crauwels, Lead Database Consultant @ Pythian
Afterwards we'll move to a nearby pub.
ABSTRACT
==========
How to combine ProxySQL and Orchestrator to eliminate single-points-of-failure in your MySQL HA cluster
In this session we will be considering a standard asynchronous MySQL replication technology. We'll go and analyse how we can eliminate single points of failure in the technology stack and how we can avoid network partitioning issues. We will use Orchestrator to help us achieve master high availability and we will use ProxySQL to redirect application traffic to the appropriate MySQL servers.
I will show how we can make each component on its own highly available, how we can prepare for a full datacenter outage and even up to a full scale regional outage when leveraging a public cloud provider.

Join us in Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese pub for friendly Christmas social beers and chit chat on the subject of OpenStreetMap (contributing/using experienced/beginners, whatever interests you in and around OpenStreetMap!)
Sign up here! ...if you like. Not everyone bothers signing up. It is just a pub after all. You can expect between 5 and 10 people attending.
Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese is down an alleyway off Fleet Street (here on the map). Between Chancery Lane. St Paul's & Blackfriars. We will be downstairs, possibly deep downstairs. This pub has more seating the deeper down you go, so chances are we may be level=-3!
Whether you're a mapper, map user, or just curious, come join us! If you think you may have trouble recognising anyone, turn up at 7:30 (when the group will be more assembled), and look out for maps or OpenStreetMap hi-viz vests or polo shirts. You could also take Harry's number: O7979815O13 ...although we may be deep downstairs!
On Wednesday 16th October we'll have an OpenStreetMap pub meet-up at the Blue Posts Pub, Newman St, from 6:30pm. Join us for friendly social beers and chit chat on the subject of OpenStreetMap (contributing/using experienced/beginners, whatever interests you in and around OpenStreetMap!)
Important notes for finding us:
- There are several pubs called Blue Posts! We're at the one on Newman St. It's near Tottenham Court Road tube. ( here on the map: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=51.51699&mlon=-0.13546#map=19/51.51699/-0.13546 ).
- Blue posts has an *upstairs* area which is quite well hidden, but it's quite likely we'll get a table upstairs.
Sign up here! ...if you like. Not everyone bothers signing up. It is just a pub after all. You can expect between 5 and 10 people attending.
Join us in London for a special election season event about disinformation and manipulation in political campaigning.
First up, we’re got a FREE screening of the Netflix documentary The Great Hack, which uncovers the dark world of data exploitation through the journeys of players from the explosive Cambridge Analytica/Facebook data scandal.
After the film, we’ll show you how to submit a subject access request (SAR) to UK political parties so you can find out exactly what personal data they are holding on you.
To complete a (SAR), you’ll need to bring a laptop or phone and a photo ID that proves your identity and lists your current voting address. A driving licence will suffice if the address is your current voting address. If the address is outdated, you'll need to add a second document with your current voting address. This could be a utility bill, council tax bill or a bank statement from the last 3 months.
We’ll supply refreshments!
