## **Cercle de lecture féministe (rdv de sales connes**) Rendez-vous régulier tous les 4ème mercredis du mois à **18h45 au kawaa.** **🕐 A arrivé.es bien à l’heure !** Cela me permet d’instaurer le cadre dès le début, d’accueillir tout le monde dans les meilleures conditions, et de commencer ensemble, sereinement. À la croisée entre un groupe de lecture et un cercle de parole, je te propose un cercle de lecture féministe. Viens partager des lectures qui ont nourri ta réflexion et découvre celles d’autres personnes autour des relations amoureuses, amicales, de la relation au corps, de la sexualité, etc. Par le partage, l’expérience individuelle se transforme en expérience collective. Cela permet d’aller plus loin dans la prise de conscience des problèmes vécus et dans la recherche de solutions. **Rendez-vous régulier tous les 4ème mercredis du mois à 18h45 au kawaa.** **FAQ** ***Est-on obligé de venir avec un livre ?*** Non !

Si tu ne te sens pas, ce n'est pas grave. C’est un espace de parole, on prend soin de soi avant tout. ***Doit-on apporter le livre d’une autrice ou d’une personne queer féministe ?*** Non, si tu apportes un livre, ce qui compte le plus, c’est ta réflexion ou ton interprétation du texte par rapport **à ton vécu.** ***Quelles sont les règles pour participer ?*** À chaque début de séance, je rappelle les règles du groupe, à savoir : \- Bienveillance et non\-jugement \(envers les autres et soi\-même\) \- Confidentialité \- Liberté de faire une pause collectivement ou de sortir seul si besoin \- Liberté de silence et de parole \- Non\-monopolisation de la parole ***Comment se font les inscriptions ?*** Les places sont limitées à 14.

**Welcome to the Paris Poetry Circle!** Now in its 30th year, our English-language poetry reading group continues to bring together lovers of verse and thought in the heart of Paris. 🎉 Join us this Wednesday evening for a gathering of minds and voices as we read and reflect on poems that move, challenge, and illuminate — all shared over some quiet drinks. 🫖☕️🥤🧉🍹 We seek poems that are clear yet profound, sweet or serious — those that carry us forward and help us make sense of the world. We steer clear of the obscure or needlessly complex; we value clarity over cleverness, sincerity over show. Each poem is read anonymously to begin with, without revealing the author, allowing space for open, unbiased interpretation. We then explore it together — carefully, curiously — to uncover what lies beneath the surface. After the meeting, we write a letter of thanks to the living poets we have read at the group, to thank and congratulate them. We revere all the poets of this world. The group is small — usually six or seven thoughtful individuals, up to a maximum of ten. The conversation is warm, intelligent, and grounded. There is no performance, no pressure to contribute, and no cost. Only a shared pursuit of insight, beauty, and fellowship. If that resonates with you, we’d love to welcome you. Bring a poem, or simply bring yourself. 📚✨

Rejoignez-nous pour une rencontre Apache Kafka® le mercredi 18 mars à partir de 18h00, organisée par meshIQ et SHAPES Studio! **Les présentations seront en français.** **📍Lieu** SHAPES Studio 92 Rue René Boulanger 75010 Paris **🗓 Programme** * 18h00 : Ouverture des portes/Accueil, Boissons * 18h30 - 19:20h : Gilles Philippart, Software Practice Lead, Confluent * 19:20h - 20h10 : JB Onofré, Ingénieur logiciel principal, Dremio + Directeur de la fondation Apache * 20:10h - 20h30 : Restauration, Questions-réponses supplémentaires, Networking **💡 Intervenant 1 :** Gilles Philippart, Software Practice Lead, Confluent **Discussion :** Streaming into Iceberg: Kafka Connect vs Flink vs Tableflow **Résumé :** Getting streaming data into Iceberg tables sounds simple—until you hit schema evolution, upserts and deletes, small file problems, and commit contention. In this talk, I’ll walk through the real-world challenges of streaming ingestion into Iceberg and compare three common approaches: Kafka Connect, Flink’s Iceberg sink, and Confluent Tableflow. **Biographie :** Gilles works at Confluent as a Software Practice Lead and has over twenty years of experience in the financial sector, primarily developing systems for investment banks. In recent times, he served as a Principal Engineer at a FinTech company, where he built a platform that offers loans to small and medium businesses in the blink of an eye. Through this work, he became a proponent of event-driven architectures with Apache Kafka and is now passionate about guiding others to leverage its advantages. Outside of work, Gilles enjoys reading books, whipping up culinary delights, and playing games with his daughter and wife. **💡 Intervenant 2 :** JB Onofré, Ingénieur logiciel principal, Dremio + Directeur de la fondation Apache **Discussion :** From Legacy Queues to Modern Tables: Bridging ActiveMQ, Kafka, and Apache Iceberg **Résumé :** Modern data platforms rarely start with a blank slate. Organizations often face the challenge of unifying "classic" messaging systems like **Apache ActiveMQ** with high-throughput streams like **Apache Kafka** to feed a unified analytical layer. In this session, we explore how to build a robust ingestion pipeline that captures events from diverse sources and commits them into **Apache Iceberg**. We will dive into: * **The Bridge:** Strategies for migrating or mirroring data from JMS-based ActiveMQ to Kafka. * **The Sink:** Using Kafka Connect and Iceberg’s native capabilities to handle schema evolution and ACID transactions. * **The Payoff:** How this architecture enables "time-travel" queries and high-performance analytics on streaming data without the "small-files" headache. **Biographie :** JB est directeur de la fondation Apache. Il est membre de plus de 20 projets Apache et également mentor sur de nombreux podlings. Il est aussi en charge de l'équiipe OSPO chez Dremio. \*\*\* AVERTISSEMENT Nous ne pouvons pas accueillir les personnes de moins de 18 ans.

**Step into the laid-back charm of Cosy Cave Conversations**, a Parisian philosophy chat that's more relaxed than a cat in a sunbeam 🐈 🌞 Gather with a bunch of easygoing souls, share thoughts on the good life and its mysteries, enjoy a beverage, and have a good laugh. A few things to be aware of: * **Please** **don't show up without a spot** (we aim to keep it cosy and we always have a waiting list these days — check if you’re on the list or the waiting list) * If it's your first event, it's essential you **turn up early, or at the latest on time (<7pm)** so you understand how it works, what the topic is and don't interrupt the session * The **session runs from 7pm to 8:30pm** where we focus on the discussion, but don't worry, you'll have a chance to socialise, introduce yourselves and continue the chat after the session. **If you’re running late** (the curtains are closed), that’s okay, but please wait to join us in the break rather than interrupting the session. * Please read the **tips below** for a good session before coming along **How does it work?** We embrace the café-philo method — proposing intriguing topics on the night (up to 3), choosing one together, and diving into everything from consciousness, community, death and god, while managing to keep it light and easy 🦦 **Forget the stiff atmosphere**, we're all about small groups (\~10 people) and unpretentious chats with no homework required. No need for a philosophy degree, just bring your open mind and a dash of curiosity. **Join us every Wednesday 19h-20h30 at Les Acolytes** — because pondering the profound is better with good company (and a pint). See you there! 🎉 A few tips for a great session: * come with an **open and curious mind** 🧠 * **prioritise listening to others and asking questions** without interrupting or long monologues 👂 * we put a strong **emphasise on giving everyone a chance to contribute to the discussion**, so try and be aware of how much space and time you take up when speaking 🐻‍❄️ * we prioritise **intellectual accessibility**: this is not an academic group therefore we ask to keep any philosophy jargon to a minimum and instead explain any concepts in plain english 🤠 * we are an **apolitical group** that focuses on discussing and exploring philosophical ideas without endorsing or aligning with any specific political or religous ideologies. Our aim is to encourage open, unbiased dialogue centered on philosophical inquiry within a safe and respectful environment 🐥

**🎞** Vernissage — « Ex-voto politiques » 📅 Mercredi 18 Mars — 18H-20H Bienvenue au vernissage de l‘exposition « Ex-voto politiques » de Hu Jiamin au Dissident Club mercredi 18 mars de 18h à 20h ! L’artiste sera présent pour discuter avec vous de ses peintures votives politiques et montrer des extraits de son film-essai sur le thème de la dissidence en Chine et dans le monde. - Hu Jiamin est un artiste d’origine chinoise basé à Lyon travaillant à la fois la peinture et la vidéo. Il commence sa pratique artistique dans un village de la province du Yunnan, cette expérience dans la Chine rurale influençant profondément l’importance qu’il porte à la responsabilité sociale des artistes. En 2017, la censure et la destruction de sa peinture murale à Shenzhen et sa détention lors de la Biennale d’Urbanisme et d’Architecture de Shenzhen et Hong Kong l’amènent à réfléchir à la relation entre art et dissidence. Ses œuvres expriment la façon dont l’histoire globalisée s’incarne dans nos existences, dépeignant la tension entre la simplicité et la fragilité de la vie quotidienne et l’inexorabilité des forces politiques qui la sous-tendent. (Site internet : www.jiamin.org / Instagram : [@hu.jia.min](https://www.instagram.com/hu.jia.min/)) 🗓️ MERCREDI 18 MARS de 18H à 20H 📍 58 rue Richer 75009 Paris 🔴 entrée gratuite + consommation obligatoire 🌐 visitez www.thedissidentclub.org pour plus d'informations

Join us in Paris for an evening of thoughtful conversation over coffee as we explore **how people strive to leave a legacy and achieve a kind of immortality**. Through their actions, stories, art, and memories, human beings have been pushing against the idea that one day, they shall be gone and forgotten. Here we will reflect on the desire and the ways humans strive to be remembered, to leave something of themselves, the marks they leave on the world, and how literature captures these timeless desires. This is a themed book club with no required reading, but if you’d like inspiration, here are some classic works that touch on these themes: * The Picture of Dorian Gray * One Hundred Years of Solitude * The Brothers Karamazov * The Death of Ivan Ilyich * The Odyssey * Immortality by Milan Kundera *(And there are many more that explore the theme!)* Bring your favorite quotes, reflections, or books that resonate with this theme. Let’s share stories, ideas, and experiences in a warm, inspiring space for book lovers and dreamers. P.S. I’ll reach out before the event to confirm attendance. Please cancel in advance if plans change so I can adjust the reservation accordingly. Merci\~ 🌹

**Our March pick is *God of the Woods* by Liz Moore.** **This month’s novel is an award-winning literary mystery that blends family drama with psychological suspense. It explores women’s voices and relationships while delivering an exciting, eerie, and deeply suspenseful story. The book is 576 pages in print or 14 hours and 35 minutes on audiobook.** Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found. As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.

TBA- We will do lunch before the play too! Tickets are on sale now only $20.

Welcome, readers! Our March read is **_The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver._** The story follows Taylor Greer, a young woman from rural Kentucky who leaves home for the West, only to find herself unexpectedly becoming the guardian of an abused Native American toddler named Turtle. In Tucson, Arizona, they form a makeshift family with a diverse group of people, including Guatemalan refugees and a single mother, exploring themes of motherhood, community, belonging, and finding hope in hardship. The story blends humor with serious issues, creating a story about finding family in unexpected places. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖

We thought of one of the interesting things that can be enjoyed at this time of the year. We will be meeting at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for a "Fish Fry" in Marian Hall on Friday, March 27th at 5:00 PM. It might be fun for you to experience what has become a tradition on the Fridays before Easter. They will have fried fish or baked fish, French fries and Cole slaw, as well as beverages, all for $16.00 for adults. They will have other beverages and desserts available for sale, as well. We have never tried this, and sometimes there are quite a few people at these events so we hope that we will be able to find each other easily. I'll try to have signs outside Marian Hall that Identify our group. We hope to have you join us!
