A Typical Meetup 6:00pm
At the London Oracle office –
We cover reception
7:00pm
House keeping and Introductions
7:01pm
Main session – main guest presenter –
guide time an hour, not fixed – very
informal
6:30pm
Beer & Pizza – people network /
chat
Thankyou Jurgen
8:0pm
(ish)
2nd presenter - (if Phil / Luis) then
adapting based on time left
9:00pm
Wrap up – some will want to hang on
and pick your brains more
Monday
Eve
We aim for Monday’s for
logistical reasons
Plan
Figure out what we want to do

Attendance – norm seems to be about 30-50% no
shows! So don’t be afraid to over book & aim for
big numbers
Tangible – We’ve tried to ensure the content can
be related to. Lose theme running across events
Content – “what’s cool” over “what’s important”
(Kafka over IDCS). Use external speakers
Attendees – diverse background and knowledge,
so don’t need to be ultra deep dive
Hands On vs Show & Tell – we don’t see lots of
uptake for hands on. But I think this varies from
region to region
Regular Faces – we see about 10%-20% of
attendance as regular faces. So a lot of people go
to Meetups for specific things

Come Fly with Capgemini
aka
Drones with APIs

Goal …
The Idea …
• Make experimenting and talking about Oracle Tech fun by
using to do something
• We came up with Flying Drones
What’s happened for far?
• APIs defined & refined – using {API 1st} approach
• Leveraging open source Go Library for network comms to the
drone …
• Framework being wrapped and extended to match API
definitions
• Working on refining the controls
• James Neate in Capgemini built out a Drone Dash – can test
API calls without needing the drone

The Resources …
Git Hub Repositories
• Backend: https://github.com/oracledeveloperslondon/droneAPI
• Dashboard: https://github.com/oracledeveloperslondon/dronedash
Apiary Definitions (also held in GitHub) :
• Backend: http://dronedevmeetup.docs.apiary.io
• Dashboard: https://app.apiary.io/dronedashboard

Inaugural Flight …

If we had an army of developers ….
Technology Demonstrator …
• Replace Go control plane with Helidon SE
• AI based demo …
• Use AI to steady flight – and autocorrect flight (autonomous drone)
• AI for realtime object recognition
• Define flights roots using FaaS
• JET to provide highly usable UI
• ‘bots to command the drone
• Event stream processing – drone events sent to Event Hub and stream processed
• AI generates recognition events, microservices trigger as a result
More seriously …
• Platform to help with STEM engagement (school children using APIs to control drones
(safely))
• Drone + Hawkeye (positioning calculator)  means to gather RTA / Scene of Crime data
quickly
• Drone + IR/Thermal  Emergency crew safely use for search & rescue complex situations
for people (add AI & Building Plans – self guided search)
• Drone fleet + AI  large event safety & security (recognize trouble spots / need for help)
