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. Looking forward to seeing you and learning from each other!

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.

Venez nous raconter l'histoire de votre vie, votre passe-temps favori, ce que vous aimez ou n’aimez pas au sujet de la France, ou dans la langue française, ou tout aspect de la grammaire ou du vocabulaire, dans un environnement tranquille et sympathique.

**Special topic for this week: This week we have a short talk on Ocaml language features you definitely want to know!** Have you ever wondered what happens after you write your program in any programming language and hit "Run"? Welcome to the new group dedicated to Compiler Engineering so we can discuss language design, static analysis, VMs, and code generation. Topics related to hardware architecture and FPGA are also welcomed! **Join us weekly and learn about:** * The vision for this group. * A crash course on how to start learning compiler dev (including top book recommendations). * An open networking session for showcasing projects and finding collaborators. * Weekly topic to learn about particular aspect of programming languages or hardware **Who is this for?** * Anyone building DSLs or new languages. * Anyone curious about low-level systems and programming * Anyone hiring for compiler/toolchain roles (come pitch your jobs!). * Anyone who wants to learn more about programming languages nature! This isn't a lecture—it's a conversation. Come share your projects and get motivated!

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
