Hey, friend in Jakarta! Now that you joined JakFri... **are you a member of [Jakarta Writers](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-writers/) yet?** Want to see **pictures** of past events? **[Take a look here!](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-friends/photos/)** And feel free to upload a few pictures you will take at the event 😊 JakFri and JakCre is **the** biggest, oldest, most active, and most inclusive MeetUp community in Jakarta… and we invite you to join us to join us for this **DIGITAL DETOX evening in THE SKY! No phones will be allowed during this event!** Let's log off and talk to each other in real life! 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** Join this **very special event** and take a look at **luxury cars** (Ferrari, Porsches, and more) before heading up to a **cozy rooftoop café & resto** with a stunning view of the **elevated** **MRT train** and the **JakSel skyline**, have a bite and drink with fellow Jakarta Friends and play a few rounds of **free pool (billiard)** in this fabulous terrace overlooking the city! An informal and intimate evening where we favour **authentic connections** **and conversations** instead of big, loud group where you don't manage to go past the superficial "where are you from" and "what do you do" questions. When checking in, everyone will be reminded not to use their phone. This is an event were we disconnect and enjoy each other presence! **No phones are allowed for the duration of the event!** Will you manage? 😉 This is a unique event with **very limited places** as the café is small. There's a table reserved for us inside (airco & non-smoking). First-timers are particularly encouraged to join! Reserve your spot today and make sure you update your RSVP if you cannot come. No show = kicked from the group. Our events are **introvert friendly** and we favour authenticity! Everyone is always welcome to join our events. For this event, we have chosen a small café with an astonishing view and a delicious and diverse food menu. The location is excellent and the view of the MRT train passing a few meters away is absolutely epic. At the entrance of the building there is a shop for luxury cars and you are invitated to take a stroll and feel free to buy one 😉 Be prepared to identify yourself with ID at the entrance for security reasons. Then you can head up with the elevator to the rooftop terrace (having both an inside area with airco and outside/smoking area with pool table). A table is reserved for us under the name "MeetUp". The event starts at 6.30 PM and I strongly recommend to arrive on time. The kitchen closes at 8 PM for the last order. Don't be late and don't miss this opportunity to have an authentic evening with locals and international new friends. We will ask for a split bill and everyone will be paying what they consume. **Pool is free!** **We have organised this event before!** * **[Digital Detox in the Sky at Rocket Café](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-friends/events/311728808)**[ ](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-friends/events/311728808)(Nov 2025) You can browse [all future events](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-friends/events/) and [all past events](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-friends/events/?type=past) of Jakarta Friends take a look at [pictures of previous events](https://www.meetup.com/jakarta-friends/photos/) to get a sense of the vibe of our group! **ABOUT THE VENUE** * Here's the IG of Rocket Café Fatmawati: https://www.instagram.com/rocketcafe.fatmawati/ * Here you can find all you need about the café: https://share.google/fKZMHUeX4DGIJ8xUD * Rocket Café Fatmawati is located near the MRT Fatmwati (5 minutes walking distance) and we strongly recommend you to skip the hassle of macet, leave the car somewhere, and join by MRT. * The restaurant closes at 9 PM and last order is at 8 PM.

Cukup datang dengan rasa penasaran, ngobrol bareng komunitas, dan lihat bagaimana strategi sederhana bisa membantu menghadapi pasar dengan lebih tenang. ​🧡 Karena di Bitcoin, konsistensi sering kali lebih penting daripada mencoba menebak waktu yang “sempurna”. ​Sampai jumpa di meetup! ​ 📌 Info Penting:🔸 Tiket **GRATIS**, tapi peserta beli makan/minum sendiri selama acara🔸 Tidak ada promosi altcoin, NFT, token, atau proyek “kripto” lainnya🔸 100% tentang **Bitcoin** — teknologi, nilai, dan potensinya untuk dunia 🔗 **Tentang Kami**🟠[ Bitcoin Indonesia ](https://x.com/bitcoinindo21)adalah inisiatif nirlaba yang bertujuan untuk:🕊️ Menyebarkan pemahaman soal **Bitcoin** sebagai alat pembebasan individu⚖️ Mendorong **kedaulatan finansial** lewat edukasi netral dan jujur📚 Menyediakan konten edukasi **open-source & gratis** untuk semua **📲 Telegram: [https://t.me/+OIIRyKQmvJY0MWFk](https://t.me/+OIIRyKQmvJY0MWFk)** **📸 Instagram: [https://instagram.com/bitcoinindo21](https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinindo21)** **🌐 Website: [https://bitcoinindonesia.xyz](https://bitcoinindonesia.xyz/)**

Mulai dari menggunakan Bitcoin untuk transaksi, mendukung merchant yang menerima Bitcoin, sampai membangun kebiasaan baru yang membuat ekosistemnya makin kuat. ⚡ ​Kalau kamu penasaran bagaimana Bitcoin bisa benar-benar “dipakai”, bukan cuma disimpan — ini tempat yang pas buat mulai ngobrol. ​Datang buat diskusi, pulang dengan perspektif baru tentang bagaimana ekonomi yang lebih terbuka bisa dibangun bersama. 🧡 ​Sampai ketemu di meetup! 🧡🚀 ​​ 📌 **Info Penting:** 🔸 Tiket **GRATIS** (peserta beli makan/minum sendiri) 🔸 **NO** promosi altcoin, NFT, atau token lainnya 🔸 100% bahas **Bitcoin** — teknologi, filosofi, dan potensinya 🔗 **Tentang Kami** 🟠 *[Bitcoin Indonesia](https://x.com/bitcoinindo21)*[ ](https://x.com/bitcoinindo21)adalah komunitas nirlaba yang ingin: 📚 Menyebarkan edukasi netral soal Bitcoin 🕊️ Mendorong kebebasan dan kedaulatan individu 🤝 Buka ruang diskusi sehat dan terbuka untuk semua **📲 Telegram: [https://t.me/+OIIRyKQmvJY0MWFk](https://t.me/+OIIRyKQmvJY0MWFk)** **📸 Instagram: [https://instagram.com/bitcoinindo21](https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinindo21)** **🌐 Website: [https://bitcoinindonesia.xyz](https://bitcoinindonesia.xyz/)**

Please join us for our April 14th edition of the AI-ML MeetUp. **Please note this is an in-person meeting and light refreshments/food will be provided. You will need a government-issued ID to enter the facility.** **Title:** Hands-On : GitHub Copilot SpecKit **Description:** Spec-Driven Development **flips the script** on traditional software development. For decades, code has been king — specifications were just scaffolding we built and discarded once the "real work" of coding began.

In this hands-on lab, we will be covering building your application using SpecKit. Pre-requisites: VSCode v1.107, GitHub Copilot, Python 3.13 + uv, Git installed. **Location:** The meeting will be hosted in the Applied Information Sciences ( AIS ) office in Reston, at 11440 Commerce Park Dr # 600 · Reston, VA.

Hope to see you there! **Location** Our hosts are the Fairfax City Economic Development Building: [10300 Eaton Pl, Fairfax, VA 22030](https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=d7298231ca2df594df822003f9a93517c788fceefe1fcbb79c8976696e341bc6JmltdHM9MTc1MzIyODgwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=180d0745-3b7f-69a1-23a2-11433a7868e5&u=a1L21hcHM_Jm1lcGk9MTA5fn5Ub3BPZlBhZ2V-QWRkcmVzc19MaW5rJnR5PTE4JnE9RmFpcmZheCUyMENpdHklMjBFY29ub21pYyUyMERldmVsb3BtZW50JnNzPXlwaWQuWU44NzN4ODI4MTk2Mjg0NTk5MDM4MTU0MiZwcG9pcz0zOC44NjE0NDYzODA2MTUyMzRfLTc3LjMwMjE3NzQyOTE5OTIyX0ZhaXJmYXglMjBDaXR5JTIwRWNvbm9taWMlMjBEZXZlbG9wbWVudF9ZTjg3M3g4MjgxOTYyODQ1OTkwMzgxNTQyfiZjcD0zOC44NjE0NDZ-LTc3LjMwMjE3NyZ2PTImc1Y9MSZGT1JNPU1QU1JQTA&ntb=1) Conference Room A- Large, Floor 1 This is a new venue for us, so give us some time to get more details about it. Driving is the best option. There is plenty of free on-site parking. Otherwise, we are a 22 minute bus from the Vienna Metro Station. Bicycling from Vienna is possible but difficult, though once you are here, there's a bike rack in the garage behind the building, and there's also a Capital Bikeshare dock 15 min walk away. **Sponsored by:** Thank you [Fairfax City Economic Development](https://gofairfaxcity.com/) and [Mason Enterprise Center](https://enterprise.gmu.edu/) for making this event possible! **Thank you so much to our wonderful sponsors!** Organized by [DMV Petri Dish](https://www.dmvpetridish.com/) **[Code of Conduct](https://github.com/NoVACodeCoffee/admin/blob/master/code-of-conduct.md):** We value the participation of each member of the community and want all attendees to have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience.
