Here's my first trip to the lightboard, where I discuss KIP-932. #apachekafka #eventstreaming

Sandon Jacobs @sandonjacobs.bsky.social · 18/09/2025

This one is a "home game" for me. @allthingsopen.bsky.social is a great event that I've had the privilege to attend many times. Looking forward to working with my teammate @olenakutsenko.bsky.social as a presenter. #RaleighNC #OpenSource #allthingsopen
