Pocket Science Lab - An Open Source Hardware for Electronics Teaching & Learning

PSLab is a small USB powered hardware extension for your Android phone or PC that lets you measure all kinds of things. PSLab comes with a built-in Oscilloscope, Multimeter, Wave Generator, Logic Analyzer, Power Source, and we are constantly adding more digital instruments. PSLab is many devices in one. Simply connect two wires to the relevant pins and start measuring. You can use our Open Source Android or desktop apps to view and collect the data. You can also plug in hundreds of compatible I2C standard sensors to the PSLab pin slots. It works without the need for programming. So, what experiments you do is just limited to your imagination! PSLab is developed by FOSSASIA and OpnTec in collaboration with a global community of Open Source developers.

Speaker: Wai Gie

Pocket Science Lab (PSLab) is an Open Source hardware device (open on all layers) that can be used for experiments by teachers, students and citizen scientists to learn and teach electronics. The hardware comes with a firmware, desktop app, android app – all open source. This tiny pocket lab provides an array of sensors for doing science and engineering experiments. It comes with functions of numerous measurement devices including an oscilloscope, a waveform generator, a frequency counter, a programmable voltage, current source and as a data logger. During this session, Wai Gie will speak about the project development and current use cases of the device through a short demo. Event Page: https://geekcamp.sg/

Implementing Email Sending Functionality in a Django App

Hi there folks! Recently I was doing a task for fossasia which required me to make a Django web app which allowed users to submit their email addresses and receive a welcome email in return. I was able to complete the project in a couple of hours. Most of the time was spent in making the UI look good. I am going to show you how you can easily make a similar app. For the sake of this tutorial we will be using Gmail. 1.Setup the project First of all we need to start a django project. We can start one on our Desktop by typing the following command in the terminal: $ django-admin startproject gci_email Now let’s cd into the newly created project and move on: $ cd gci_email 2.Creating a new app Now we need to make a new app. You can do that by running the following command: $ python manage.py startapp send_email The above command creates a send_email directory inside our project with a couple of files in it. 3.Modify the project settings Now let’s just quickly go ahead and modify the project settings a little bit. In this step we will add our app and all our email sending related info to the settings.py file. Open the settings.py file which is available in the gci_email folder and add the following content to it: EMAIL_USE_TLS = True EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com' EMAIL_PORT Read the full article

Open Source at Indeed: Proud Sponsor of FOSS Asia

The Indeed Open Source Program Office is excited to be at FOSS Asia in Singapore March 15-17, 2019. This is our second consecutive year at FOSS Asia. If you’re attending, visit our booth and check out three talks from Indeed’s Head of Open Source, Duane O’Brien.

Sustaining FOSS Projects by Democratizing the Sponsorship Process

Friday, March 15 | 2.30pm | Hackstage

Speaker: Duane O’Brien

Within a given company, typically only a few people are involved in deciding which FOSS projects and initiatives to support financially. This year we decided to change all that and democratize the decision making process. We set up an internal FOSS Sustainability Fund, and invited everyone to participate. This talk will examine how we got executive buy-in for the fund, how the fund was set up, how we encouraged participation, and what the impact has been so far.

Panel: FOSS Around the World

Sunday, March 17 | 11:05am | Lecture Theatre

How is the state of FOSS around the world? Open Techies from across the globe share their insights. Learn from our panel:

Duane O’Brien — Head of Open Source, Indeed

Hong Phuc — Founder, FOSSASIA

Michael Cheng — Licensing & Open Source Legal, Facebook

Roland Turner — Chief Privacy Officer, Labs Director, TrustSphere

Gerry Demaret — Organizer, FOSDEM

Don’t judge candidates by their GitHub profiles: How open source participation plays into hiring

Sunday, March 17 | 12:00pm | Lecture Theatre

Speaker: Duane O’Brien

You’ve heard that having a GitHub profile can help when job hunting. Is it true? How can you get started? What if you don’t have the time? You’re hiring to fill a position, and you have two great candidates. One has a robust history of working in open source, and the other has no history at all. Is this an easy choice? This session will look at the implications of working in open source—from the perspectives of the candidate and the hiring manager. Individuals will come away with an understanding of how open source participation affects their hireability; how they can get started; and what to do when active participation is challenging. Hiring managers will learn how to evaluate the open source work of potential candidates; how to evaluate candidates with no history; and how requiring an open source footprint creates harmful bias.

Speaker profile

Duane is passionate about enabling smart and meaningful contributions to the open source ecosystem. He navigates the path between engineering and management, drawing on both his experience as a developer and program manager at companies, as well as his experience supporting Agile transformations.

Thinking forward from now, what's next that you have in mind Shreya

A lot, actually. 

1. Have to learn Guitar. I can sing well, I like to sing, and paired with Guitar it'll be a melody worth listening to. Want to have a dive and explore the depths of Music. 2. Came across a project which immediately caught my attention, that was the Loklak search engine from FOSSASIA. As soon as I get a Mac, it's high time to start exploring the uncharted world of open source, a wish as long as when I came to appreciate this concept. 3. Have to start Gymming again. Cult was the best, at least for once in a day let your brain rest and allow your body to do the hard work :)

Indeed at FOSSASIA 2018

Indeed is a proud sponsor of the FOSSASIA Open Tech Summit, from March 22-25 in Singapore. FOSSASIA is Asia’s premier developer event and covers tracks from AI, Cloud, Blockchain Science Tech, Web, and more.

On March 24, Indeed speakers will present the following topics. We encourage you to attend.

How to Overcome Obstacles and Take Control of Your Career in Tech

Speaker: Doug Gray

Doug Gray is Senior Vice President of Engineering at Indeed. As a member of Indeed’s senior leadership team, Doug defines the organizational and development processes for the engineering team. His areas of expertise include product revitalization, process change and team development. Previously, Doug was a senior leader at Versata Software. Prior to that, he held a number of senior positions at Trilogy, where he worked for over 12 years. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from Stanford University.

Finding the perfect job can be difficult. Figuring out how to stand out from the competition and then navigating human biases, archaic hiring processes and other challenges can make landing that dream job seem like a long shot. ​ ​

Learn how you can take control of your tech career path. Gain key insights from new research on what drives top tech talent’s career decisions​ while also learning how technology can help you overcome obstacles that may occur during the hiring process so that you can be in control of finding your dream job.

Indeed MPH: Fast and Compact Immutable Key-Value Stores

Speaker: Alex Shinn

Alex Shinn is an engineer working on Indeed’s job recommendation system. A former Google search engineer, he is a generalist with experience in natural language processing, building scalable architectures, and various AI technologies from expert systems to modern machine learning. In his free time, he writes Sheme compilers and libraries and contributes to the Scheme standardization process.

When you need to scale an application with a lot of data, how do you decide on a storage solution? How can you both safely store and efficiently interact with large data sets? This usually boils down to a choice between SQL or NoSQL — but what if there was a third option?

In this session, developer Alex Shinn will discuss Indeed’s MPH-Table: an open source storage solution that uses minimal perfect hash functions to generate a fast and compact key/value store. Alex will discuss how we use MPH-Table at Indeed, what situations are ideal for it, additional optimizations it allows, and how it compares to alternate solutions. Attendees should enter with a fundamental understanding of existing scalable storage solutions, and will leave with a basic understanding of MPH-Table, when they might want to use it, and how other solutions compare.

Find the full schedule for FOSSASIA, and more information about Doug and Alex’s presentations here.

We’re hiring! We have openings in Singapore for Engineering Manager, Full-Stack Software Engineer, Quality Assurance Automation Engineer and Quality Assurance Engineer. Tokyo openings include Manager, Data Science and Manager, Site Reliability Engineering. Hyderabad openings include Product Manager and Senior User Experience Designer.
