🎯 Is your Product Team putting Impact First in the New Year? Join us for a special December meetup with Matt LeMay.

As we close out the year, it’s the perfect moment to reflect on the impact our product teams create — and how we can enter 2026 with sharper focus, stronger alignment, and clearer value.

We are excited to host an online session with Matt LeMay for an insightful session where he’ll share ideas from his book IMPACT-FIRST PRODUCT TEAMS. Matt will dive into practical stories and real-world examples of how product teams can consistently drive measurable business outcomes without losing touch with their users. 💡 Is my product team a good investment for the business? 💡 Are we communicating value clearly enough that our CFO could advocate for us? 💡 How do we build a culture where outcomes truly guide our decisions?

Matt visited us in Amsterdam in October, but many of you were unable to join us. This is your chance to learn from Matt directly, ask your questions, and maybe even win a copy of IMPACT-FIRST PRODUCT TEAMS!

📅 December 15, 2025 📍 Online via Zoom

Let’s step into the new year with clarity, purpose, and a fresh perspective on what it means to build impact-first product teams.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Fabric-X is a digital asset-specific implementation of Hyperledger Fabric. Join us for a series on meetups that go into detail about what Fabric-X is and how you can use it.

Fabric-X-Committer introduces a high-performance and resilient architecture that addresses the scalability limitations of the traditional monolithic peer in Fabric. By decomposing the commit process into independently scalable microservices—including a Coordinator, Signature Verifiers, and Validator-Committers and leveraging a sharded distributed database, the system achieves significant parallelism, enabling substantial scalability and performance gains.

A key innovation is the use of a transaction dependency graph, which allows safe, parallel validation of transactions across multiple blocks. Combined with a pipelined execution flow, this design eliminates sequential bottlenecks and unlocks ultra-high throughput. Performance evaluations show that Fabric-X-Committer can process over 200,000 transactions per second, marking a major leap in scalability for enterprise-grade blockchain systems.

In this meetup, we will provide an overview of the Fabric-X-Committer architecture and share performance evaluation results that highlight its scalability and efficiency.

The venue is the Hand & Racquet in Wimbledon (25-27 Wimbledon Hill Rd, SW19 7NE). https://www.greeneking.co.uk/pubs/greater-london/hand-and-racquet

Chris and Gulraj will be sharing hosting duties with at least one of us present at each meetup. Whilst we realise that this venue is not as convenient for some people as our central London former haunts, the pub is only 2 minutes walk from the station, and Wimbledon is exceptionally well connected (only 17 minutes out of London Waterloo mainline, lies on the Sutton branch of the Thameslink, and is a terminus of both the District Line and the Croydon Tramlink).

The pub is on the flat, at street level, including the toilets, although the space reserved for us (presently, at least) is a raised mezzanine area up a small number of steps at the back of the pub. We aim to be inclusive, so if this presents an issue, we'll work with the pub to adjust the arrangements in the future.

Sign-ups are open. Please come join us.

Directions from the station:

Exit the station through the main concourse (near the District Line platforms), turn right along the main road, passing the taxi rank on Orinoco Lane. Cross Alexandra Road at the traffic lights, pass the gym on the corner, then continue past the chemist to reach the pub.

Enjoy food, drinks, and plenty of networking with data community afterwards at The Brotherhood of Pursuits and Pastime bar, 2 Mount Street, Manchester, M2 5WQ (which is a 5 minute walk away)

Date: 2025-10-20. As your Python programs grow and become more complex, they can quickly become hard to maintain, extend and reason about. Software design patterns help keep this complexity under control, making your code more understable and facilitating the scaling to larger applications. In this workshop, we will take some bad Python code and refactor it step by step. You will learn to spot primitive obsession, replace conditionals with the Strategy pattern, and use Dependency Injection to write testable code.
