Community Manager Meetup

Community Manager Meetup

Hi, apologies if this is the wrong tag. I'm helping to organise a community tooling hack day in London with the goal of helping community managers share ideas and skills. This time we're looking into free, self-hosted alternatives to Meetup and Slack, is that something folks here would be interested in?

AI Generated Projects

I posted this over on LI last week because I've seen a lot of solo AI-assisted projects here recently. Cool to see people building their own tools but I think the best part of OSS is people actually collaborating and building together rather than working on our own thing in a corner.

To avoid just being a grump though I thought I'd shout out just a few great human-made projects and blogs I like, many of which I came across here:

  • ShadowTraffic brilliant tool from Michael Drogalis for rapidly simulating production traffic, he's been building this in the open and with the community.
  • Fresha Data Engineering the Fresha team are doing some ground-breaking stuff, a shout out to Nicoleta in particular who's done some great work on Fluss in prod.
  • Leo Delmouly's Medium, Leo has done a great series on Kafka + Iceberg which helped me understand why this is such a hard problem.
  • Michael Maison's monthly Kafka digest which is my go to resource for understanding what's coming up for the Apache Kafka project.

Apache Kafka® Deserves Topic Types

Reposting my colleague Juha's blog all about the evolving language we use to describe Kafka, it's an interesting read :) He digs into how to way we describe Kafka has changed and the issues introduced by new innovations.
