Introducing Quarkus: a supersonic, subatomic Java framework

Quarkus is an open sourced, Kubernetes-native Java framework made for Java virtual machines (JVMs) and GraalVM native compilation. Quarkus is optimized specifically for containers. It greatly minimizes application startup time and memory use, and it provides live coding so that developers can immediately check the effect of code changes in the blink of an eye. With these features, they enable Quarkus to become an effective platform for serverless, cloud and Kubernetes environments. Join this session to have a first look into Quarkus.

Drug Icon CC:藥物圖標 Creative Commons

Drug labels in Hong Kong are mainly presented in words. Elderly or ethnic minorities might find it difficult to fully understand them. The carers need to spend extra time explaining and handwriting remarks to ensure medication adherence. 

We took reference from other places’ prescription labels and designed a set of unified Drug Icons, which can be stuck on the medicine packages to visualise the prescription notes for easier understanding. 

'Open Source Culture' in the CGI & VFX Industry

This presentation will provide an overview of The Academy Software Foundation (https://www.aswf.io/) and their impacts on the visual effects and animation industry around the globe. Moreover, there are local software developers who contributed to the Hong Kong's original digital Ink-painting and animation creations. The speaker aims to reveal a couples of CGI Ink-painting and animations made from these Hong Kong software tools.

Sneak Preview on MySQL Operator for Kubernetes

MySQL High Availability has been around our discussion over years.   It is redundancy and allowing service to be always online.   Kubernetes is one of the hot topics these days.  During the talk, we will share how we can deploy MySQL in Kubernetes.  As standalone pod or deployment or as InnoDB Cluster with Kubernetes.   This is the sneak preview of MySQL Operator for Kubernetes.   Come and join us to share your idea.

Building online technical community in the era of COVID-19 / 疫情時代我經歷的線上技術社群經營

It’s hard to arrange community events after COVID-19 pandemic. But there is still a strong need to gather, to share, and to learn from other developers. In this talk, I will share our experiences of how to build the Koltin community online in Taiwan from 2019 to present. The topics will be about how we arrange study jams, how we run workshops, how we build a team to attend competitions, how we connect companies to become a league, and the most important, how we grow the community and the lesson learned.

I write my own web desktop OS for 3 years and this is what it looks like now 用了三年時間寫網頁桌面作業系統的故事

This will be a short talk mentioning the updates of the Open ArozOS project I shared in last year's conference. The share will include the story of transitioning a project from PHP based to Golang based, a newly open sourced ESP8266 powered IoT control system for prototyping and some new development concepts that involving PWA technology using ArozOS as the backend. If there are excess time, I might also discuss the design advantage when developing complex system using Web Desktop UI instead of the traditional Dashboard UI.

Embedded Linux on RISC-V with BeagleV, Yocto and OpenEmbedded

BeagleV is the first affordable RISC-V development board capable of running Linux distributions. RISC-V is a new computer architecture with an open instruction set which creates multiple new opportunities.

In this talk we will explore a beta version of BeagleV and learn how to get started with it. Using the Yocto Project, OpenEmbedded and appropriate board support package (BSP) we will build a simple Linux distribution from scratch and boot it on the device. The presentation will provide exact steps and quick introduction to Yocto and OpenEmbedded.
