Hacktober Recap, Workshop and Seminar for Open Source Community
This October has been tremendously packed with my duty as Seeed Studio’s Ranger. From OSHWA to Pycon APAC 2024, every event left a great spot on my mind. Here is the recap for my activity this October 2024.
1. October 3rd 2024, OSHWA 24 Hours Membership Drive Show & Tell
This live online session is initiated by OSHWA and runs 24 hours straight. My session is scheduled to run at 6 PM local time. After rushing to be at home before my schedule, I managed to get on time and share my open-source projects on Hackster. After sharing my open-source projects, I introduce the Seeed Studio Co-Create Gadget campaign to the audience.
2. October 17th 2024, Transforming IoT with Edge Intelligence Seminar
This seminar is initiated by the student organization on my campus and has two speakers. The other speaker is one of my ex student whom now work as a cloud engineer. It is the perfect opportunity to introduce Seeed Studio to my campus while also giving the students insight into the latest technology in AI, Machine Learning, IoT, and Edge Computing.
In the seminar, I mainly focus on the next step of IoT which is the inclusivity of Machine Learning in IoT solutions and how reComputer could be a small compact solution to implement it.
3. October 25th 2024, Pycon APAC 2024
This is my highlight of the month because the Python Indonesia community is becoming the host for this year’s annual Python Conference of the Asia Pacific area. In total, there are 80 Speakers from across Asia pacific with hundreds of participants.
At Pycon I managed to schedule a workshop session on 25th October 2024 titled “Building IoT and Camera Project with XIAO ESP32S3 and Micropython”.
In this workshop, I shared various things that the XIAO ESP32S3 can do with Micropython such as basic input and output, camera stream, displaying JSON weather data on the OLED screen, and interacting with the Grove Vision AI V2 sensor.
4. November 2nd 2024, Internet of Things Seminar at Universitas Banten Jaya
A friend from another campus has invited me to this seminar. The location of campus is in Serang, a neighboring city from where I live and it is a 2-hour drive from home.
The material that I shared in this seminar is the same as what I shared at my previous seminar on my campus. The organizer told me that they don’t have much insight regarding IoT on campus, so this seminar could be a huge step for advancing the knowledge on their campus.
