We are launching a new weekly initiative this semester, called OpenHack 🎁

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.

πŸ—“ Wednesday, 21 Aug, 2pm to 4pm
πŸ“ 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!

Join us in this exciting collaboration with NUS Electronic Music Lab! In this workshop, you will learn:

- A high-level overview about the tech involved in music production (MIDI + VSTs)
- 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. We feature a diverse range of musicians, and provide opportunities for our members to expand their networks and showcase their work. Find out more on our website!

Friday Hacks #259 πŸŽ‰

πŸ—“ Date/Time: Friday, 23 Aug, 7pm to 8pm
πŸ“ Venue: COM3-01-21, Seminar Room 12
πŸ• Food andπŸ§‹Drinks will be served!

RSVP:
Here!

Talk 1: Security-as-code: Building our way to better security outcomes
Despite our best efforts, we can’t hack our way to better security if we don’t solve problems at their root causes. However, long compliance checklists isn’t 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 you’re interested in both software engineering and security and wanted to learn how to use both, this is the talk for you!

🎀 Speaker Profile 🎀
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.

Talk 2: Continuations: Five minutes to learn, a lifetime to understand
The title assumes that the audience has five minutes. We will then go from there. An interactive talk which will be a lot of fun!

🎀 Speaker Profile 🎀
Olivier Danvy is interested in all aspects of programming languages, including programming and proving. A long time ago, he introduced shift and reset to a (then) completely unsuspecting world.
