We are launching a new weekly initiative this semester, called OpenHack π
We love open source, and we want to make it easier for those of you who want to contribute β with the help of the rest of the community and the project maintainers themselves.
This week, we will be inviting down maintainers of open source projects based in NUS, namely NUSMods, Lominus, and CourseRekt.
π Wednesday, 21 Aug, 2pm to 4pm
π COM3-01-21, Seminar Room 12
Please fill up this form if you are planning to come. Some programming experience is expected.
We think this is a great chance to get some of you more familiar with open source, upskill yourselves, and contribute to something useful. Hope to see you there!

- Basic music theory (scales, chords, bass lines, melody)
- Beat making/patterns
- Basic effects and how to use them
Participants will work on a short 8-bar segment in BandLab, that can then be combined into a short song that everyone can listen to!
Speaker profile:
NUS Electronic Music Lab (EML) is a unique music arts group that focuses on original music composition, production, and performance through digital software and electronic audio technology.

Friday Hacks #259 π
π Date/Time: Friday, 23 Aug, 7pm to 8pm
π Venue: COM3-01-21, Seminar Room 12
π Food andπ§Drinks will be served!
RSVP:
Here!
Talk 1: Security-as-code: Building our way to better security outcomes
Despite our best efforts, we canβt hack our way to better security if we donβt solve problems at their root causes. However, long compliance checklists isnβt the way forward either. How can we apply software engineering to solve security problems? This talk will discuss various security products such as access control tooling, secure-by-default application components, and guardrails for developers. If youβre interested in both software engineering and security and wanted to learn how to use both, this is the talk for you!
π€ Speaker Profile π€
Eugene Lim is building and hacking for good at Open Government Products where he solves cybersecurity problems with engineering solutions such as infrastructure as code, chaos testing, and GitOps.

Hackers Toolbox are workshops we have on Tuesdays that cover skills that are essential to those in computing fields but are not usually taught by schools.
In this session we'll cover:
- What Linux is as an operating system
- What virtual machines are and why they are useful
- Installing a virtual machine and what you can do with it!
π Tuesday, 27 Aug, 6:30pm to 9pm
π COM3-01-21, Seminar Room 12
π§ Refreshments will be served!
Sign up here!
