長久以來，中文正體的電腦發展都是主要以台灣為基礎。而Windows中的標楷體是香港市民經常使用的電腦字體。但原來標楷體與香港的慣常寫法有很多差異，造成很多應用和學習上的困惑！香港人可以如何自救？有甚麼方法幫到香港人？

R is my favourite language for doing exploratory data analysis. In this talk, I will discuss the use of tidyverse to explore the data. Although, I have mostly used Python to build machine learning models, the ease of use of packages like dplyr and ggplot2 in R allows me to explore the data at high speed and therefore R remains my favourite for exploratory data analysis.

IoT is the tread of modern living. Every machine we work with, has the tenancy to get connected to the internet for centralized processing and functionality enhancement. System design and architecture, with evolvement of tool sets, has become an independent skill regardless of programming language. The author here presents the ROBI3 the ice-cream robot (which participants would experience it just below the conference venue) how she managed to link up the its QR code couponing with Gravity Form, one of the most popular plugin for WordPress with minimum coding.

Hong Kong Creative Open Technology Association (HKCOTA) aims to promote Open Standards, Free and Open Source Software, Open Hardware, Free Culture Works, Open Content and Creative Commons. We are encouraging the adoption of Open Technologies by riding on the recent government policies to introduce Popular Science and STEM into current education system.

I will give a brief assessment of the current situation, what HKCOTA tried, lesson learnt and road ahead.

PM2.5 is a citizen science project. We provide instructions and open-source code to help people create and customise their own PiM25 box.

When the PiM25 box is ready, air quality and GPS data can upload to the Taiwan's PM2.5 Open Data Portal (Location Aware Sensing System, or LASS) 24/7. Everyone can see the open data from the map (http://airmap.g0v.asper.tw/)

In this session, I will share the project information

Present the major new user-visible features and changes in the open-source audio/video VLC media player, as well as other dependent open-source multimedia projects.

這次研計會是讓邀請公眾參與互動、討論、在香港發動全球以中文創建世界語言目錄開源數據庫和語言標準化的開源建議。
我們會討論以下問題：

引言：
什麼是語言？中文（語言）是什麼意思？粵語是一種語言或方言作為書面語/口語嗎？
目前語言由語言學家，研究人員和某些情況下的決策者定義。 Ethnologue.org的世界語言數據庫由SIL.org管理。然而，Ethnologue僅提供有限的公共使用，每天五頁免費訪問語言數據，該網站是英文。

An overview of the major version update from Haxe 3 to Haxe 4: New function syntaxes, null-safey, unicode, final keyword, interpreter rewrite (eval), HashLink VM, call-site inlining, inline markup… and more!

Let's explore the Bitcoin protocol by building a Bitcoin client from scratch, one that connects with other Bitcoin nodes and accesses data stored on the chain of blocks. I will introduce relevant concepts (such as tx, utxo, block, address, op-code) as we implement the components. To add to the fun, we'll trying doing this in a safe systems language, Rust.

If you are new to the idea of JAMStack, GatsbyJS would be absolutely one of the easiest way to start the JAMStack Project. Using GatsbyJS, developers can enjoy the modern web tech without headache. The ecosystem of GatsbyJS is so awesome, you can easily install the plugins, try a different starter.

React, Webpack, GraphQL, Babel are all set up and can be easily configured. If you would like to build a 10x faster website while using less bandwidth (static files), than GatsbyJS should be one of your considerations.
