From reviewing 81+ speaker submissions to evaluating proposals, coordinating speakers, and shaping the programme, this has been a collaborative effort that deserves recognition 💜 .

Yesterday's @droidconke sessions got me building John Scott walked us through Figma MCP, where your AI assistant can read and generate designs directly in Figma. @michaelbukachi talked about using AI as a real part of how you build So I put both ideas to work on something I care about: a website for Kenya JUG, the Java User Group here in Kenya ☕🇰🇪 What's in Phase 1: → Our team and what each of us does → Java Connect KE 2025 & 2026: speakers, talks, photos and the sponsors who made them happen → University chapters bringing Java to campuses across Kenya → Ways to join, whether you're a developer, student, speaker, volunteer or partner It's live at kenyajug.org Still a work in progress, and there's plenty more coming

We broke down how to move past toy tutorials and run PyTorch models directly on-device using Google's LiteRT runtime (flutter_litert), caching predictions in Hive, and gracefully falling back to FastAPI backends when connection returns. Zero-network crop disease classification with zero user interruption—this is real-world impact 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀! 🌾📱 Attended the session?
