We’re so excited to host our **Social Sisters SG Dinner Meetup!** 🎉 Come join us for a relaxed, casual dinner session— a perfect chance to meet new friends, share stories, and exchange cultures in a fun and friendly group setting! 🌸 Location: **Asia Square Food Garden** Time: **7-9pm** (Feel free to come and leave earlier or later!) Price: **$2 to RSVP. Paynow to 89897063** 📍**Note:** Social Sisters SG is a space for genuine connection and friendship — not for business promotion or MLM (multi-level marketing) activities. You’re welcome to exchange contacts, but please do so at your own discretion. 📌 We try to keep our events **small and cosy**, with slots limited to **12 participants** per event. However, with the number of RSVPs and potential no-shows, it can be hard to gauge whether someone who has RSVP’d will eventually turn up. This sometimes means that interested attendees remain on the waitlist unnecessarily. Hence, from **15 January 2026**, we’ll be introducing a **$2 RSVP fee to ensure attendance**. This will help us plan better, potentially reduce no-shows and keep events fair for everyone 💛 Follow us[ @socialsisterssg](https://www.instagram.com/socialsisterssg/) for real-time updates on our exact location within the foodcourt or any unexpected venue changes on the day itself ✨

You can expect a mix of sessions covering architectural deep dives, cloud best practices, and advanced monitoring techniques. **🚀 Grafana Feature Session:** **Topic:** **Lessons from Simulating AWS T3 CPU Throttling** **Speaker:** Goh Chun Lin – Grafana & Friends Community Lead, Singapore **Synopsis:** We often use AWS burstable instances (T3/T4g) to save money, but "Unlimited Mode" can mask architectural inefficiencies by converting performance bottlenecks into silent financial debt. In this session, we go beyond standard metrics to demonstrate **Predictive Engineering**. We will show how to use **Grafana** to visualise invisible infrastructure limits and expose the true cost of performance and how to use **Discrete Event Simulation** to predict architectural breaking points as well. **🤝 Full Agenda:** In addition to the Grafana session, we will be joined by speakers invited by the AWS User Group sharing insights on cloud and infrastructure at scale. **👉 Please check the [Main Registration Page](https://www.meetup.com/aws-sg/events/312539597) for the complete lineup of speakers and topics as they are announced!** See you there!

Hi Everyone, With Covid19 happening, there is still a limited participants for group events of up to 8 pax happening, so this just to keep the virtual skating together going. The Challenge is to skate as much as you can during this pandemic each week. And see how we rank on leaderboard of Strava. The ranking is arranged by most distances skated each week. Do join us through on Strava App below: Leaderboard updates on a weekly basis and resets every week (Mon to Sun) Join us at https://www.strava.com/clubs/freewheelers_sg (Kindly note that with specifically the Strava app, it is unable to cater for Inline skating option, so you will have list your tracking via run or ride for your ranking to show up in leaderboard. And this is the main challenge majority of skaters will be using.) Feel feel to contact Janice on Meetup if you need help with the apps to join us on these virtual skating challenges. You can also ask Janice for link to join a telegram group where impromptu small group skating events are frequently organized if you are looking for skating buddies. Special Note: Heard feedback from some Iphone users that trouble getting apps FOC. All these apps should be free. Please make sure you download the FREE VERSION. And please download the app, before you join via Challenge Links as the Challenge Links lead Iphone users to paid versions I think. Android Phones should be automatic directed to free version.

**Friday is our open co-working day.** **​**People come to work on their own projects, take breaks together, and usually stay through the afternoon. It’s quiet, focused, and builder- and founder-led. ​You can arrive anytime from 10AM. Most people show up after lunch and settle in before 1.30pm. Bring your laptop. Grab any open seat. Stay as long as you like. ​At 1.30pm, we pause work briefly for a shared session called The Stage, then everyone goes back to working. ​This is how Fridays here work. **The Stage @ 1.30PM** *The Stage is a short, open-format session where builders and founders share something they are actively working on. A workflow, a technical breakdown, a lesson learned, or just a topic keeping him/her up at night.* *The goal is to spark ideas you can try immediately after, during the same afternoon. After the session ends, most people simply open their laptops again and continue working.* *​After the session, we go back to work.* [John Ang](https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnangrs/) *​Founder & CEO, HaskyOS* *​Previously Head of AI Engineering, Temus, taking products from discovery to production.* ​The usual setup is clear: PM writes the spec, designer makes mocks, engineers build, QA tests. That’s how software used to be shipped. ​John has been testing a different approach. ​After years moving between AI engineering, technical PM, and engineering leadership, he started building complete products solo using Claude Code and a structured framework he calls System PM SDLC. ​What began as a curiosity in bringing personal projects to life has turned into a repeatable way of running active client deployments with a new business model. ​In this session John will walk through his framework, show a live demo of how he works, and share what he’s learnt about where AI helps and where it does not. ​At the end of the session, he hopes he can provide you with a concrete framework you can try yourself, and a clearer perspective of how small the gap between idea and shipped product can be with the right processes in place. ​After the session, we go back to work or hang out to network. \-\-\- **RSVP here >** [https://luma.com/fxklskiu](https://luma.com/fxklskiu?utm_source=meetup)

**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data** Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics. The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth. The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical. (note: we are back at Rev1 this month!) **About Our Speaker** [Alex Moore](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexscottmoore/) is the founder of [Moore Cooperative](https://moorecooperative.com/), where he advises organizations on compensation strategy, pay equity, and people analytics. His work focuses on helping organizations like the Ohio Supreme Court design, analyze, and communicate compensation systems that are data-informed, defensible, and aligned with organizational goals. Alex lives in Granville, Ohio and has three little kiddos. More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)

Dale Gnidovec, Curator of the Orton Hall Museum of Geology at The Ohio State University, will be presenting a program he has wanted to share with us for a long time: Plate Tectonics. His description of his program: Continents on the move - Nothing in Earth history makes sense without moving continents - it tells us why mountains, volcanoes, minerals, and fossils are where they are. This talk examines the evidence for continental drift, why it was disbelieved, and explains how the more-encompassing theory of plate tectonics was developed and eventually proven. Dale is an energetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and very entertaining speaker and this will be another wonderful program by Dale. Hope to see you there! Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.

I love my job and one of the main things I do is help customers get going with any of the data technologies at Microsoft. Right now there are a lot of my customers asking about Microsoft Fabric. It's hard to weave across all the shiny new options across the Fabric landscape, let alone figure out where it fits into your organization. In this session we'll focus on answering one question - how can I get data into Fabric? We'll talk through the "it depends" options and see some of the options in live demos.
