Killing "Low Code" with Jakarta EE and MicroProfile
Why esoteric languages? "Low Code" ideas are also perfect working with boring technologies like Jakarta EE and MicroProfile.
At this meetup, Adam Bien would like to implement a Java EE / Jakarta EE + MicroProfile, Cloud Native application from scratch and focus on "built to last" design and (hexagonal) architecture. Fast turn-around cycles, high productivity, observability and low noise included.
Questions are highly welcome and are going to be immediately answered.

An event looking at how technology is helping to raise public scrutiny of politicians. We'll be looking at some real-life examples of targeted campaigns and tools that help us to understand what politicians are up to and how we can have a say in their priorities.
Joaquim d'Souza and Hazel Sheffield
In March, the Huffington Post published #SoldFromUnderYou, an investigation revealing that local councils are selling off billions of pounds worth of publicly owned property just to make ends meet. #SoldFromUnderYou was the result of a year of Freedom of Information requests sent to all 353 English councils by the Bureau Local, part of the Bureau of Investigative Journalism and reporting by journalists through the Bureau Local's network of local reporters. It came with a map, created by Joaquim d'Souza, allowing anyone to search the location of the 12,000 spaces that have been sold since 2014. Joaquim and Hazel Sheffield, who worked in collaboration with the Bureau Local on the project, will speak about how the investigation came together, how they created the searchable map, and what's next for the project.
Seena Shah, Director of Marketing at PolicyMogul
Seena is listed as a top 50 women in digital under 30 by The Drum. Her interest in change at Government level led her to her current role with PolicyMogul where she is Director of Marketing. Seena will be discussing how important it is to have diversity in those who influence policy and policy-makers, in order to create a politics that is truly reflective of society.
Matt Chocqueel-Mangan, Policy Tracker & Vote for Policies
Matt is an experienced agile coach and digital service designer, on a mission to create what he describes as a 'sustainable democracy'. Matt created Vote for Policies and more recently Policy Tracker which focus on transparency and accountability to increase participation.
The objective of agility in software is to fulfil evolving customer requirements while delivering high quality software on time and within budget. A number of agile methodologies have been developed promising to achieve this objective. But their adoption has proven to be challenging leading to cargo culting and bikeshedding practices that challenge project success. A review of Agile Manifesto and principles of agile methodologies distills them into 3 fundamental components. This talk suggests that a disciplined pursuit of these fundamentals while adopting agile practices increases an organisation’s chances of success.
Reduction is key to agility. It is of fundamental consequence to not just iteration planning and execution but in all aspects of project execution. Smaller stories simplify estimation, implementation and pivoting in addition to reducing intra-team dependencies. Smaller merge sizes reduce risk of merge conflicts and enable focused reviews leading to better code quality. Fewer technical dependencies make software flexible. Fewer inter-team and intra-team dependencies increase flow. Finally smaller team sizes focused on features and functionality enhance team cohesion and reduce inter-team dependencies.
Focus ensures that teams’ eyes are on the prize. Sprints need to be thematic focused on delivering end-to-end features that can be demonstrated to customers to obtain and act on feedback. Large features may not be completely delivered in a single sprint. In such cases, sprints may be grouped into packages which incrementally deliver features. Hence packages, unlike sprints, may not all be of the same length but all sprints within a package must focus on incremental completion of a feature. Cross functional teams tend to deliver end to end features better than technology specialist teams.
Finally, visibility is essential for teams to review their progress and make arrangement to reduce risks. It is important to create necessary and useful information radiators for the team members. These include sprint dashboards showing the progress on stories, burndown charts and defect trends. Additionally RAID (Risks, Assumptions, Issues and Dependencies) and logs dependency matrices highlight risks that teams face in achieving their targets.

An increasing number of projects starts incorporating reactive programming. On their journey they start to discover that the only way to get the full benefit of that change is to ensure that they have a fully reactive stack.
There are a number of messaging systems and data stores that enable a fully reactive stack, but there has been a big piece missing when it comes to accessing relational database systems in a fully reactive way.
This talk presents the Reactive Relational Database Connectivity (R2DBC) initiative. This project aims for what a reactive API would look like when paired with relational database access. This talk explains how the API works, the benefits of using it, and how it contrasts with the ADBA project proposed as a successor to JDBC.
About the speaker
Mark Paluch is a Software Craftsman working as Spring Data Engineer at Pivotal. He has a strong focus on reactive infrastructure and works on R2DBC, MongoDB, Redis, and Apache Cassandra modules. Mark is also is project lead of the Lettuce Redis driver. He blogs at http://www.paluch.biz

What is blockchain and why do we care? You might have heard about hash chains, blockchains, Merkle tree, UTXO, Crypto accumulator, but what do they actually mean? Why are those concepts so powerful that they could fuel such a revolution? Now all of these concepts are great but where and how would you apply them to a project?
In this session, we will take you through the basic concepts behind blockchain, explore the type of use cases where blockchain can make a difference and introduce you to a real-life example of a Java application leveraging Hyperledger Fabric.
This talk is aimed at developers and architects who are keen to learn more about Blockchain.

Transparent, Meritocratic & Peer-owned: Open Source Technology and the 21st Century Cooperative
This event will bring together experts and innovators in the field of open source technology and the co-operative movement. We'll be examining the similarities in the two movements, in terms of the philosophies and decentralised organising methods. We'll be delving into how and why these movements are breaking away from mainstream for-profit companies and technologies.
Terry Tyldesley
Terry is a producer and musician, and Chair of Resonate, a new, ethical music streaming co-operative harnessing blockchain technology. Resonate is out to create a fairer music ecosystem using a #stream2own model, and by building a variety of artist-empowering services. It is going open source and believes sharing technology is vital for the co-operative movement.
Nic Wistreich
Nic is an active contributor to the open-source community, with a particular interest in the world of film and cinema. He has written on Coops and Open Source for New Internationalist's People Over Capital book, and is an active member of the CiviCRM community. Nic will be exploring the idea that if open source and and coop communities could wise up to their weaknesses and learn from each other’s strengths, there could be not only be a new economic and governance model; but a new method for solving complex problems.
Abi Handley
Abi is a member of Outlandish, a worker owned co-operative, that actively contributes to the open source community and open source projects to deliver the majority of its client work. Abi will talk about the technical reasons for preferring open source technology: a wider community checking each others work leads to better results, particularly in terms of security and ease of use.
Graham Mitchell
Graham is a web developer who has been involved with and founded numerous projects to support the co-operative movement. Most recently he has helped develop platform6.coop, a platform which aims to pool skills, resources and knowledge to facilitate coops to thrive. Graham will talk about how the open source movement can borrow from the co-op movement to become more sustainable.

Are you an experienced coder, tester or designer that wants to contribute your skills to a socially and ecologically transformative project? Are you new to software and want to join a project that will help you develop your skills? Do you hate a series of vague questions attempting to lure you into something before you know enough to be excited?
Then read on!
The Open Food Network are thrilled to announce our first ever UK Hackathon. Over the weekend of the 4th and 5th of May we’ll be nestling into Newspeak House to spend two days working on real issues for the global open source project. Together we hope to expand our exciting community, bring in new people that believe in what we do and share our experience in building a successful remote open source community. And of course we will share great food, laughs and fun!

Cross functional teams tend to deliver end to end features better than technology specialist teams.
Finally, visibility is essential for teams to review their progress and make arrangement to reduce risks. It is important to create necessary and useful information radiators for the team members. These include sprint dashboards showing the progress on stories, burndown charts and defect trends. Additionally RAID (Risks, Assumptions, Issues and Dependencies) and logs dependency matrices highlight risks that teams face in achieving their targets.

Hands on: Exploring Quarkus with Kotlin
Let’s meet in the Red Hat Open Innovation Labs to write some code in good company. We plan to experiment how to develop microservices with Kotlin running on Quarkus, and are open to debate about the potential of this new very promising platform. We’ll start with a short introduction to Quarkus by Sanne Grinovero, followed by a hands on workshop together with Uberto Barbini, in which we’ll run Kotlin code on Quarkus and have fun with the revolutionary developer friendliness of both these technologies combined.
No experience with Quarkus is necessary, no Kotlin experience is required either; proficiency of Java is highly recommended.
Remember to bring your laptop with Java, maven and Kotlin configured on your IDE. GraalVM tools and Docker are also needed for the native compilation.
About the speakers
Sanne Grinovero is a Sr. Principal Software Engineer at Red Hat, best known as technical lead for the Hibernate team. He was part of the small R&D team which started the Quarkus project. He lived in Holland, Italy, the Caribbean islands, Chile, Portugal and currently hacks in London, contributing to many OSS projects.
Uberto Barbini is a polyglot programmer and independent consultant, with more than 20 years experience designing and building successful software products, currently working with finance institutions in London. He is a very passionate and opinionated programmer, he enjoys public speaking and blogging. Uberto's main interests are JVM languages, Functional Programming and distributed computing. Currently in love with Kotlin.

Testing Java Microservices: From Development to Production
Testing microservices is challenging. Dividing a system into components (à la microservices) naturally creates inter-component dependencies, and each service has its own performance and fault-tolerance characteristics that need to be validated during development, the QA process, and continually in production. Attend this meetup to learn about the theory, techniques, and practices needed to overcome this challenge. You will:
• Get an introduction to the challenges of testing distributed microservice systems
• Learn how to isolate tests within a complex microservice ecosystem
• Hear about several tools for automating vulnerability and security scanning for code, dependencies, and deployment artifacts

What is blockchain and why do we care? You might have heard about hash chains, blockchains, Merkle tree, UTXO, Crypto accumulator, but what do they actually mean? Why are those concepts so powerful that they could fuel such a revolution? Now all of these concepts are great but where and how would you apply them to a project?
In this session, we will take you through the basic concepts behind blockchain, explore the type of use cases where blockchain can make a difference and introduce you to a real-life example of a Java application leveraging Hyperledger Fabric.
This talk is aimed at developers and architects who are keen to learn more about Blockchain.

This event will focus on innovation and ethics within our financial systems.
The financial crash and the technology boom have been catalysts for new systems of banking. Many new projects seek to reinstate trust in our monetary systems and provide people with more transparent and convenient ways of managing money. How are these working? What are some of the most exciting developments? And what are the negative patterns that are still being recreated? In what ways are new projects looking for inspiration in old systems?
As a network of co-ops, CoTech is rooted in sustainable and people-centred ways of organising work and money. Co-ops are entwined with credit mutuals, building societies and the like, and now we are supporting the new digital generation of fair banking. We're excited to invite a panel of experts and innovators and we'd love for you to join us to learn and discuss. We'll be hearing from:
Marloes Nicholls
Marloes is Head of Programmes at the Finance Innovation Lab, and was a co-founder of the campaign Move Your Money UK. Marloes will be talking about how tech in finance too often reinforces and exacerbates inequalities in the system. She will share ways in which the Finance Innovation Lab is trying to support change so that the future of finance serves an equitable and environmentally sustainable future.
Nonhlanhla Makuyana
Nonhlanhla Makuyana is an organiser, educator and a Decolonising Economics strategist. They've worked with new economy organisations such as Positive Money, Stir To Action ShareAction to centre racial justice in their strategies. They will speak about money and banking in relation to systems of colonisation and exploitation, particularly how money and banking is organised in a way of continuing these same patterns.
Fionn Travers-Smith
Fionn Travers-Smith is helping to develop the social impact, marketing, and market research frameworks of the Regional Community Banking movement. The movement is developing a socially responsible, economically impactful banking model to deliver inclusive growth and community benefit banking across the UK. Using the latest technology and an innovative co-operative governance model, the CSBA is establishing a movement of banks that will dramatically transform the economic landscape of banking and finance in the UK

Time to Spare is a CRM built to help charities manage their members and volunteers, and to collaborate with other organisations in the social sector. It lets you see what people are doing within your organisation, and within the wider area that you work in.
It integrates with MailChimp, Eventbrite, Outlook and Google Sheets, helps you clean up messy contact data and has a built-in tool to reply to GDPR Subject Access Requests.
Importantly, Time to Spare does not help with managing donors or fundraising. Instead, it gives charities the option to easily share their projects, statistics and impact with Local Authorities and grant-making foundations. As part of that, if you're based in Camden or Barking & Dagenham, you can get access to up to 5 user accounts for free (if you ask us for an invite).
Makerble (Matt Kepple)
Makerble is a versatile CRM tool where each of your contacts can optionally become users. This means that you can easily mobilise supporters by enabling them to log their offline campaigning actions, spur each other on with comments and likes on each other's progress, and maintain an up-to-date activity summary for each of your campaigning targets whether they're MPs, corporations, media or influencers.
There is a plethora of Customer Relationship Management systems out there. Many of these are built with charities and campaigning organisations in mind, and others can be adapted to suit them. Deciding which CRM is suitable for your organisation can be a confusing and lengthy process.
This event is an opportunity for you to hear from some CRM experts, ask questions and use the technology hands-on.
Short presentations will be followed by an opportunity to try out each of the products and ask the experts specific questions related to your organisations' needs. The event is predominantly aimed at charities, campaigners, community groups and small businesses, but is open to anyone with an interest.
CRMs presented include:
CiviCRM (presented by Veda Consulting)
Veda Consulting has been working with CiviCRM for the past 8 years with strong technical interest in the project. We are a Sustaining Partner and Contributing Partner.
CiviCRM includes Direct Debit integration so that users can take regular giving via Direct Debit without needing to worry about systems communicating with each other. Veda also created an extension to allow Gift Aid submissions to be submitted online to the HMRC, and more recently a GDPR extension which aims to enable charities/organisations to manage their supporters in a GDPR compliant manner.

Money and Power: finance and banking are changing (or are they?)
Description changed:
This event will focus on innovation and ethics within our financial systems.
The financial crash and the technology boom have been catalysts for new systems of banking. Many new projects seek to reinstate trust in our monetary systems and provide people with more transparent and convenient ways of managing money. How are these working? What are some of the most exciting developments? And what are the negative patterns that are still being recreated? In what ways are new projects looking for inspiration in old systems?
As a network of co-ops, CoTech is rooted in sustainable and people-centred ways of organising work and money. Co-ops are entwined with credit mutuals, building societies and the like, and now we are supporting the new digital generation of fair banking. We're excited to invite a panel of experts and innovators and we'd love for you to join us to learn and discuss. We'll be hearing from:
Marloes Nicholls
Marloes is Head of Programmes at the Finance Innovation Lab, and was a co-founder of the campaign Move Your Money UK. Marloes will be talking about how tech in finance too often reinforces and exacerbates inequalities in the system. She will share ways in which the Finance Innovation Lab is trying to support change so that the future of finance serves an equitable and environmentally sustainable future.
Nonhlanhla Makuyana
Nonhlanhla Makuyana is an organiser, educator and a Decolonising Economics strategist. They've worked with new economy organisations such as Positive Money, Stir To Action ShareAction to centre racial justice in their strategies. They will speak about money and banking in relation to systems of colonisation and exploitation, particularly how money and banking is organised in a way of continuing these same patterns.
Make Data Science Actionable, Machine Learning Inference with Stream Processing
Description changed:
Make your Data Science Actionable, Real-time Machine Learning Inference with Stream Processing
Are you ready to take your machine learning algorithms and make them operational within your business in real time? In this talk, we will walk through the general theory of stream processing and discuss an architecture for taking a machine learning model from training into deployment for inference within an open source platform for real-time stream processing.
We will also cover:
The typical workflow from data exploration to model training through to real-time model inference (aka scoring) on streaming data.
Important considerations to ensure maximum flexibility for deployments that need the flexibility to run in Cloud-Native, Microservices and Edge/Fog architectures.
How the technologies like IMDG and Streaming Engine combine to provide performance at scale.
A live demonstration of a working example of a machine learning model used on streaming data within Hazelcast Jet.
The talk is aimed at Architects and Developers alike who are keen to explore ways to inject intelligence from Machine learning to existing or new platforms in real-time

Embrace the Anarchy: Apache Kafka's Role in Modern Data Architectures
Description changed:
Embrace the Anarchy : Apache Kafka's Role in Modern Data Architectures
Building a flexible, scalable, real-time data architecture for the enterprise is no simple matter. Rarely does one single technology suit for all requirements, and frequently many different teams are involved which drives solutions with varying levels of [dis-]integration.
Apache Kafka is a streaming platform that acts as the 'data backbone' for the enterprise. By streaming events into Kafka as they occur, they can be used in any dependent system, in real time or batch. Search replicas, NoSQL stores, caches, graph databases - these all have their place in solving specific requirements, and all need to be fed with data! Kafka is the enabling platform that supports the real-time, high performance, scalable integration of data throughout the enterprise, whilst also providing the messaging capabilities to drive applications directly.
This talk will discuss the role and benefits of Kafka in an architecture, the Kafka ecosystem, and several design patterns used to address specific challenges that organisations face with managing their flows and availability of data.
About the speaker:
Robin Moffatt is a Developer Advocate at Confluent, the company founded by the creators of Apache Kafka, as well as an Oracle Groundbreaker Ambassador and ACE Director (Alumnus). His career has always involved data, from the old worlds of COBOL and DB2, through the worlds of Oracle and Hadoop, and into the current world with Kafka. His particular interests are analytics, systems architecture, performance testing and optimization.
He blogs at http://cnfl.io/rmoff and http://rmoff.net/ (and previously http://ritt.md/rmoff) and can be found tweeting grumpy geek thoughts as @rmoff (https://twitter.com/rmoff). Outside of work he enjoys drinking good beer and eating fried breakfasts, although generally not at the same time.

Clustering and Distributed Data: The Winning Combination?
For a mission-critical system such as payment processing for a bank, you need complete assurance that the system is fault-tolerant and can gracefully handle periods of unavailability, network SNAFUs, and other associated software fun and games.
This presentation makes a powerful case for a combination of two Akka concepts - clustering and distributed data - to demonstrate how you can persist state across the cluster and therefore not need to worry about individual nodes going down for maintenance, or indeed for unforeseen reasons. We also deal with the fact that we might need to only be able to run one instance of an actor in a cluster, by introducing the concept of a cluster singleton.
We then go on to write a simple TFTP server in Akka, which runs in an Akka cluster and uses Akka Distributed Data to distribute client data. So any member of the cluster that receives a request for data is able to handle it independently.
About the speaker
Patrick Altaie is a consultant for Icon Solutions, a financial services consultancy, working with some of the world's leading financial services organisations. Recently he's been working on IPF - Icon's flagship real-time payments processing platform. IPF is built using reactive concepts and leading open-source frameworks, including Akka.
