    our friends at GDG Chicago are putting this on https://windycity.devfest.io/ it is a bit of a last minute, rushed thing since they are taking advantage of some free event space that suddenly opened up, so they really need speakers, don't be shy, apply via the CFP!

    Hello Chicago Kotlin User Group members! Call For Speakers open for KotlinConf 2025 As you may know, the KotlinConf 2025 Call for Speakers is still open, and the JetBrains team is working hard to ensure that all potential speakers have the chance to apply until November 30th. JetBrains will review all Kotlin-related topics, including case studies. Each speaker can submit up to three topics, including lightning talks. Travel and accommodation guidelines For accepted speakers delivering a full-length talk (45 minutes), we’ll cover travel expenses, accommodation, and the conference ticket. If there is a co-speaker, travel and accommodation will be covered for only one person. For lightning talk speakers, only the conference ticket is covered. Call For Speakers 2025 open for Chicago Kotlin User Group For those wanting to submit talks to the local Chicago Kotlin User Group, we're definitely looking for speakers at our meetups too. New speakers are especially welcome. Whether you're practicing for a conference, sharing an internal presentation, or sharing a neat Kotlin project, we accept nearly any Kotlin-related talk! Fill out submissions here. Sincerely, Amanda Hinchman-Dominguez Chicago Kotlin User Group

    Hey folks! Are you going to the meetup tomorrow at IIT? If you're coming from the north side, we can all meet at Emerald Bar and Grill 500 530pm and go down together either on the bus 29 or the green line and back! Increased safety in numbers! https://maps.app.goo.gl/njov8MsCbjKDnwhE7

    Just in case: I'm at the bar, I'll be at Emerald loop and bar until 5:25pm and head over to the green line if anyone wants to commute with me :)

    @Ryan Perkins Ah, found some extra fun regarding async/await, I got two examples to compare side-by-side where I'm now realizing that 
    task1.join()
    appears to messing with the timing of the print. This makes sense post discussion
    very nice 1

    Here was the original example yesterday -
    Copy code
    fun log(message: String) {
    println("$message    | current thread: ${Thread.currentThread().name}")
}

//TIP To <b>Run</b> code, press <shortcut actionId="Run"/> or
// click the <icon src="AllIcons.Actions.Execute"/> icon in the gutter.
fun main() = runBlocking {
        val job = launch {
            log("job launched")
            val task1 = launch {
                log("    task1")
                delay(1000)
                log("    task1 complete ")
            }
            val task2: Deferred<String> = async {
                log("    task2")
                delay(1000)
                //log("    task2 complete")
                "    task2 async"
            }
            task1.join()                             <---- forced join

            val task3 = launch {
                log("    task3")
                delay(1000)
                log("    task3 complete")
            }
            log("    task2 status: $task2")
            log(task2.await())
            log("    task2 status: $task2")
        }
        log("Start job")
        job.join()
        log("Program ends")
    }

    if we remove 
    task1.join()
    , we now get the Active/Completed status

    not specifically about Kotlin... I guess Kotlin related? (as folks at EG do use K ) --- Expedia will be hosting a GraphQL (in-person!) meetup in two weeks! There are going to be some pretty interesting topics covered so check it out and hopefully see you there on 05/21! https://www.apollographql.com/events/apollo-community-chicago-meetup-experience-api-at-expedia-lessons-from-scaling-a
