**How do you want to enter the new year — in your head, or with your body?** We want to invite you to start 2026 with us in a good way, by reconnecting with yourself, others and the world around you ✨ Through movement, theatre games, and guided exploration, we invite you to soften, listen, and rediscover a sense of openness and presence. This special edition of our monthly workshop is led by all the 3 co-founders from **Cloud Causality** (Yes! All hands on deck!): 🇩🇰 **Gustav Marcus Lauesen** \- Danish creative actor & theatre maker 🇩🇰 **Emil Aron Dorph** \- Danish actor starred in the Netflix film *Ehrengard: The Art of Seduction* 🇨🇳 **Zippo Guo** \- Chinese physical theatre artist & illusionist The 3 instructors has been working together since 2023 in the Netherlands, they also taught together in China. **🎭 Theme: Open Body** In this workshop, we explore what it means to have an “open body”: * A body that listens before it reacts. * A body that is available to connection. * A body that feels grounded, curious, and alive. Through physical theatre and ensemble-based exercises, you will experience: * How openness in the body affects communication and connection. * How letting go of tension creates space for play and spontaneity. * How moving together builds trust, awareness, and a sense of belonging. This is not about performance or technique — it’s about being, sensing, and starting the year from a place of openness. **🌿 What You’ll Experience** * Theatre games and movement exercises focused on openness and connection. * Ensemble improvisations that build trust and awareness. * A pressure-free space to reconnect with your body and others. * Play, curiosity, and shared experience. No scripts. No right or wrong. Just bodies, imagination, and the group. **👥 Who Is This For?** Perfect for anyone who wants to: ✔ Start the year feeling grounded and connected. ✔ Reconnect with the body. ✔ Improve non-verbal communication and presence. ✔ Explore theatre and movement in a safe, playful environment. ✔ Meet others through shared experience.

Adyen is hosting our first Android tech talk event of 2026. Join us in the heart of Amsterdam to attend two amazing talks by Adyen engineers. They will share how they have incorporated the Navigation3 library in their SDK and provide a deep-dive into JVM incremental processing. *** Agenda: * 17:30: Doors open, food & drinks * 18:20: Introductions * 18:30: Oscar Spruit: **Navigating through payments** * 19:15: Short break * 19:30: Subhrajyoti Sen: **Understanding Incremental Processing in the JVM World** * 20:15: Networking & Drinks * 21:00: Closing *** **Oscar Spruit**, Android Software Engineer @ Adyen **Navigating through payments** Navigation has always been harder than it should be. Now with Navigation3, that is about to change. In this presentation, Oscar will outline how Navigation3 works and how the Adyen team applied it to their Checkout SDK. *** **Subhrajyoti Sen**, Software Engineer @ Adyen **Understanding Incremental Processing in the JVM World** We've all heard terms like incremental compilation, incremental annotation processing, and binary compatibility validation. While these improve the developer experience, it is also beneficial to understand exactly what happens under the hood. This talk will explore incremental compilation in Java and its similarities within the Gradle and Kotlin ecosystems. Subhrajyoti will then discuss Kotlin compilation avoidance and how you can assist the compiler in optimizing your build. Finally, since Gradle is critical to our tooling, Subhrajyoti will share how it leverages similar concepts to further accelerate build times. *** **Important information** Identification with an ID card, driver's license, or passport is required to enter the building. **How to get there?** The address is easily accessible by public transport. You can take either the metro M52 or a tram to get there.

📍 The location is **OBA Oosterdok (Library) Oosterdokskade 143, 1011 DL Amsterdam.** We are meeting in **Singezaal 6.3** (which is on the 6th floor of the building) 🎲 Want to expand on a game design idea?

I will go through some of the history, science and health benefits of kimchi. The workshop will start with a kimchi tasting session where you will gauge your spiciness level! I will make 3 batches of kimchi 12 days before the workshop with 3 levels of spiciness. You will taste each kimchi to deteremine how spicy you want to make your own jar. I will demonstrate how to make the chilli paste and then you will all prepare the vegetables together. I will show you how to prepare the vegetables and how different sizes might impact the taste, texture and mouthfeel of the kimchi. The kimchi will contain white cabbage, white raddish, carrot, apple, spring onions, onions, shallots, garlic, ginger, saujeot shrimp and fish sauce. A vegetarian/vegan/gluten free option is also available using soya sauce, miso paste or tamari please contact me for more information. Naturally you can omit any ingredient if you wish. You will finally mix the sauce into the cabbage and chopped vegetables and pack it into your perserving jars to take home to ferment and enjoy. You will probably have a little kimchi that won't fit into the jar and you can eat it as fresh kimchi (geotjeori) with a sprinkle of roasted sesame seeds. A pdf recipe file will be emailed to you after the workshop. It contains very detailed step by step instructions and quantities in grams and item units. The file will also have a reference section detailing each ingredient and what to buy, a list of local suppliers for all ingredients and jars and additional notes on storage. The workshop includes all the ingredients, a 2L preserving jar and instruction recipe pdf. All kitchen equipment is provided. The workshop is a fun and relaxing afternoon of hands on making of delicious food, laughing and chatting. Please check out the photos from my previous workshops. Please bring a strong carrying bag as the 2L jar inclulding kimchi will weigh close to 4KG. An apron and gloves are provided but it is recommended to wear old or dark coloured clothes as the chilli paste will stain light coloured clothes. **Venue location:** [Buurt Huis Lydia](https://buurthuislydia.nl/) Basement Floor Kitchen Roelof Hartplein 2A, 1071 TT [https://maps.app.goo.gl/hKnng4bE78N1qbsE6](https://maps.app.goo.gl/hKnng4bE78N1qbsE6) The kitchen area is in the basement of Buurt Huis Lydia. **Cost and payment:** **Please email me at [origamicrane@gmail.com](mailto:origamicrane@gmail.com) before making payment.** Please make payment of €70 to the following account Name: Samuel Tsang IBAN:NL41 ABNA 0248 6878 40 Payment reference: **[your full name]**, Kimchi workshop **FEB** **IMPORTANT:** **Just RSVPing here in MEETUP will NOT guarantee you a place.** **You must make payment before your place is confirmed.** **Places are allocated on a first paid, first reserved basis.** **If you wish to attend the workshop please make payment as soon as possible, the workshop will be closed once I have received payment from 12 attendees.** **This workshop is advertised on multiple platforms, due to processing delays it is possible that you will make payment when the workshop is already full.** **In this situation I will refund you immediately and give you first priority for the next scheduled workshop.** **It is not possible to show up and pay on the day as I will not have allocated enough ingredients.** **Each attendee has to pay the full price for a ticket.** **Multiple people can not share one ticket.** **eg: A couple can not pay for one ticket and share one set of ingredients to make one jar of kimchi.** **If you have not paid by the Friday 6pm before the workshop you will NOT be able to attend as I will not have purchased or allocated ingredients for you.** **Payment:** Please make payment of €70 to the following account Payment reference: [your full name], kimchi workshop 1st Feburary Please also send me a message through meet up chat to let me know you have paid and if you have any allergies.

In some cases, running Debezium in conjunction with Kafka and Kafka Connect can result in substantial infrastructure overhead, increased resource consumption, and operational complexity, challenges that are especially relevant for data engineers and developers that are introducing CDC in their systems. In this lightning talk, you'll see how JBang, combined with the Debezium extensions for Quarkus, makes it easy to prototype and run CDC pipelines without heavy infrastructure or build systems. **About Giovanni**: Giovanni is a Senior Software Engineer at IBM and core team member of Debezium. He has tackled complex engineering challenges in systems requiring high reliability and scalability, including smart flight pricing systems, infrastructure forecasting through large-scale metric analysis, and securing UAV navigation through anomaly detection. His current focus is Debezium’s Server and Engine, including native builds and Quarkus integration. Beyond his work at IBM, he co-organizes the Ticino Software Craft Meetup. **Talk 1: "The Hidden Art of Thread-Safe Programming: Exploring java.util.concurrent"—Heinz Kabutz** Writing correct, thread-safe code is notoriously challenging. Unlike single-threaded code, concurrency bugs often remain hidden, waiting for the perfect storm of conditions to emerge. Even the standard Vector class, long trusted for its thread safety, harbored a race condition for 5 years, only to introduce a potential deadlock that persisted for the next 9 years. The classes in java.util.concurrent are used in all major Java projects, either directly or indirectly. In this session, we will take a close look at some of the techniques used to create them. We will explore topics like lock striping in LongAdder, lock splitting in LinkedBlockingQueue, weakly consistent iteration in ArrayBlockingQueue, and check-then-act in CopyOnWriteArrayList. **About Heinz**: Dr. Heinz M. Kabutz is a Java Champion, educator, and internationally sought-after speaker known for turning complex topics — especially Java concurrency and performance — into clear, practical insights that audiences can apply immediately. With a sharp wit and a talent for storytelling, he delivers sessions that are as entertaining as they are technically deep. He is also the voice behind "The Java Specialists’ Newsletter", a widely read publication valued for its thoughtful commentary, real-world examples, and memorable takeaways for professional Java developers. **Talk 2: "Migrating from Maven to Bazel: A Postmortem"**—**Talha Pathan** To improve the development experience for execution software engineers at IMC, we set out to merge several million lines of Java code into our monorepo and switch the build tool from Maven to Bazel. This talk covers why we made the switch, the challenges we encountered, and the lessons learned. Whether you're considering Bazel or just curious about large-scale build migrations, you'll leave with practical insights for your own codebase. **About Talha:** Talha is a software engineer interested in developer tooling, programming languages, and scalable systems. He graduated in Computer Science from the University of Warwick and has worked on build infrastructure during his internship on Twitter’s Engineering Effectiveness Team. In August 2023, he joined IMC Trading as part of the Global Developer Productivity Team, where he works on tools and systems that help engineers move faster and more reliably. Talha is also an active open-source contributor and maintainer, particularly in the Lua ecosystem.
