**💡 Speaker:**
Gandhi Manalu Senior Customer Success Technical Architect, Confluent
**Talk:**
Kafka Consumers, Evolved - Exploring KIP-848 & KIP-932
**Abstract:**
Kafka's consumer model is evolving fast. This talk will revisit the fundamentals of partitions and consumer groups, then dives into KIP-848, the new rebalance protocol that makes rebalances more incremental, reduces stop-the-world disruption, and keeps unaffected consumers moving. From there, we will explore KIP-932 and share groups, showing how Kafka is gaining queue-like consumption patterns that can scale processing beyond the classic one-partition-per-consumer limit. If you build Kafka applications and want an accessible, forward-looking look at where consumers are headed next, this session connects the protocol changes to real-world scalability, elasticity, and new application design patterns.

**📢 IMPORTANT: Attendance Reconfirmation Required**
To ensure accurate headcounts and reduce no-shows, we're implementing an updated reconfirmation system for all events.
**Here's how it works**:
* All events will initially have unlimited RSVPs
* 4 days before each event, a reconfirmation form will be posted in the event comments and shared in the WhatsApp group.
* You must reconfirm ASAP by submitting the form.
* The form closes once we reach the target attendance number.
* Anyone who hasn’t reconfirmed when the form closes will be removed from the attendee list.
* If you can’t attend, change your status to Not Going.
**Two‑strike rule: If you don’t reconfirm and don’t change to Not Going two times, you will be removed from the group.**
Thanks for helping us keep things running smoothly. Looking forward to seeing you all there.

SHUT! UP! AND! WRITE! #55 ✍️ with Jakarta Writers
Hello, Jakarta Writer! **Are you a member of [Jakarta Friends](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-friends/) yet?**
Want to see **pictures** of past events? **[Take a look here](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-creatives/photos/)**[!](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-creatives/photos/) And feel free to upload a few pictures you might take at the event 😊
JakWri and JakFri is **the** biggest, first, most active, and most inclusive MeetUp community in Jakarta… and we invite you to join us for this **SHUT! UP! AND! WRITE! #55!**
Everyone is always welcome to join our events. Our community is all about creating authentic in-person connections in this urban jungle. Come as you are... it’s the best version of yourself.
**ABOUT THE EVENT**
So, you want to write? Then shut up and write! Writing is 0.01% "inspiration" and 99.99% getting down to it.
We will meet for a circa **2,5 hour writing session at Unfinished Coffee in Blok M**, a hip open space coffeeshop near the brand new Barrito Park.
It doesn't matter if you are an established writer or if you are picking up pen and paper for the first time. **Just show up, get down to it, and start writing.** Everyone will be working on their own thing, and we won't talk during writing. If you need some prompt or suggestion on what to write, I'll be happy to give you some ideas.
After the circa 2,5 h writing session session, we will switch off our laptops and close our notebooks (but if you want to keep going, feel free!) and chill down. We can also share each other texts and give feedback, if that's something someone would like to do.
**The rules of the game:**
1. We aim to start together in order not to disrupt the process for everyone. Please be on time.
2. No talking at the table during writing! After arriving at the table, we will focus on our own writing
3. You can take as many breaks as you want of course
Don't be late as we want to start writing together, and please do **update your RSVP at least 24h before the event** if you cannot come, else you will take away a spot from a person in the waitlist. Don't be that persons! **Repeated no-shows will be kicked from the group.**

The Language of the Horse
**The Language of Horses** is a hands-on introduction to horse communication set on a historic private farm just outside Washington, D.C. — among open fields, old trees, and a small herd of horses.
In this foundational class, participants learn the basics of horse communication through observation and guided interaction, building awareness of how energy and body language shape the way we relate to horses, and to the world around us. It's an opportunity to slow down, drop into nature, and engage with greater intention.
Understanding their language opens new possibilities for connection and partnership.
Participants leave with practical skills — how to approach and handle a horse safely and confidently, basic care skills including grooming, haltering, and leading. They also leave with a deeper understanding of how their awareness, boundaries, and energy influence behavior.
No prior experience with horses is needed. This class is ideal for beginners, anyone curious about horse communication and behavior, and those drawn to equine-facilitated learning as a path toward greater confidence, healing, and self-awareness.
Taught by Lindsay Karson, blending decades of experience with horses, yoga, and leadership development.
To register - contact Lindsay. This event costs $125 per person.

ABOUT THE EVENT
As you all remember well, this event used to bring out hundreds of people every week. However, it was discontinued last year for obvious reasons and we couldn't gather that many people now, because of restrictions. Hence, we are downsizing and caping the number of attendees. We have super limited spots and advance ticket purchase is required.
During this unprecedented time we were in lockdowns/confinements and we were not able to stay in touch with our old friends (as we used to) and couldn't make new ones. That is why we came up with the FRIENDING part. We have a lot in common :- We speak different languages, we represent different cultures, we lived/travelled to different countries, we appreciate different accents, we are internationally minded.
HOW IT WORKS : We will try to assign tables for each represented languages and will direct attendees to their respective tables accordingly. All languages are welcome! However we don't guarantee the availability of a partner in that particular language, you would like to exchange.
After the formal session, we will rotate attendees from table to table. So that everyone meets everyone. During this session, we use our Lingua Franca, i.e, English. You would get to meet your future friends/acquaintances/buddies/pals /partner-in-crimes or may be more:) To hang out/go out or do things together, like Biking, Hiking, Skiing, Traveling,.....etc. Also, this is an ideal event if you are new in town or not!
Ticket price includes and Taco AND a House Margarita OR House Wine OR House Beer. Cash Bar afterwards (which means you pay as you go). Our feature cocktail Mer-Tini will be featured too. Ask your bartenders.
Rules to abide :

2. Be respectful to your counterparts and give them a chance to exchange with others as well.
3. We all are native speakers of one or two languages and be willing to help others and try to accommodate as much as possible.
4. If you don't speak the other person's required language, LEAVE THEM ALONE.
5. Rude or aggressive members are removed from the group at an organizers discretion.
6. This is a face-to-face language exchange event. DO NOT try to arrange an online meeting, by using the comment box or direct message.
7. Most of our members complained about people writing in the comment box. Since it sends notification to all attendees. If you have any questions, send a message to the organizers. Don't write in the comment box.
8. We have ZERO TOLERANCE for solicitation. We don't allow anyone to run their own agenda at the Event. If you are interested to promote/sponsor/collaborate; contact us via (info@merevents.com).

10. Don't be shy of your local languages. We have diplomates assigned to different countries, who would love to practice your languages.
