Build Predictive Machine Learning with Flink | Workshop on Dec 18 | Register Now
This month the community has been focused on the upcoming release of Apache Kafka 0.10.1.0.

Please contribute to the community by downloading the release candidate, testing it out and letting everyone know how it went. If no serious bugs are found, we are hoping to finalize the release by mid-October.
