Make New Friends

Let’s meet for dinner and simply talk about life. This meetup is about slowing down after a long day, enjoying a simple, good meal together, and having relaxed, meaningful conversations. We can share stories, experiences, thoughts about life, or just chat about anything that comes to mind. Everyone comes from a different journey, and sometimes it’s really nice to sit down with a few friendly people, listen, laugh, and connect. This is not a networking event — just a casual dinner with people who enjoy genuine conversations and meeting new friends. Come with a friendly spirit and let’s enjoy a simple evening together. Sometimes friendships begin over the most ordinary dinners. 🍲😊

This isn’t another “networking” meetup or light chat about self-improvement. It’s for introverts who are *done* staying stuck, people who might be quiet by nature, but strong in conviction. If you’ve reached a point where surface level motivation no longer satisfies you, and you’re ready to rebuild confidence, break limitations, and take meaningful action, his space was designed for you. **What to expect:** * Hosted personally by a someone who has walked the journey from quiet beginnings. A real-life practitioner who built a sustainable, five-figure passive income business from scratch, and continues to grow with the intention of scaling with like minded individuals. * Honest conversations in a safe, small group setting (no forced introductions). * Reflection exercises that uncover your true drive and pattern of action. * Discussions about personal breakthroughs, in confidence, career, relationships, and mindset. This meetup is not for those just “looking around.” It’s for those ready to decide that this year will not be another repeat of the last. If you’re still reading this and feel a quiet “yes” inside — welcome. You’re already part of the few who mean it.

Hi OpenSearch Community in Singapore, This is our first networking event for OpenSearch enthusiasts and builders in Singapore. OpenSearch is evolving rapidly, and we're witnessing significant shifts in how the project approaches everything from AI integration to everyday log management. **Agenda** * **6:30 PM – 7:00 PM** — Networking and Meet & Greet with some Pizzas! * **7:00 PM – 8:00 PM** — *What's New, What's Next: OpenSearch Community Meetup* **Speakers -** **Michael Supangkat** and **Farid Baharuddin** **What We'll Cover** We'll open with highlights from the **OpenSearch 3.5 release** — features you can start using today. These include the **Prometheus Discover experience**, which enables you to visualize metric data from Prometheus data sources directly alongside your logs and traces, as well as new support for **agentic conversation memory**, making it significantly easier to manage context and history for LLM-powered applications. We'll then take a broader look at the **2026 vision**, exploring planned features that signal where the project is headed: * **Automated Query Insights** — How the engine is moving toward self-healing capabilities by automatically detecting slow query patterns and recommending optimizations. * **Interleaved A/B Testing** — A closer look at tuning search relevance using live data directly within the engine, eliminating the need for external tooling.

Think team-based challenges, simple races, and a few things inspired by game shows. You don’t need to be athletic. Most of the fun is just being part of a team and getting to know people you wouldn’t normally talk to. The goal isn’t really winning.

Bring: * Something to share for the potluck * Clothes you can move around in A small contribution helps keep events sustainable and ensures those who RSVP actually show up.
