GNOME Asia Summit 2022 this year was held as physical event in Kuala Lumpur for the first time after 2 years of online conferences due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

My talk proposal was accepted and I'm presenting the topic of Remote IDE for remote developer. Remote IDE has become my interests this year after fully adopting Github Codespaces and later on Gitpod in my development workflow.

Aryan Kaushik shared his journey in Google Summer of Code (SoC) working on GNOME app Pitivi, porting it from GTK3+ to GTK4.

Rosanna Yuen from GNOME Foudation explaining Gnome community Code of Conduct.

Adzmely Mansor from Nexoprima shared their experiences integrating critical care medical devices with modern system. I was looking forward for this talk as Adzmely is very well known in local development community. Last time listening to his presentation on linux vertical performance tuning really blew my mind.

One interesting sharing from him is how they send data from endoscopy machine to the PACS (picture archiving and communication system) which is a medical imaging technology used in healthcare organizations to securely store and digitally transmit electronic images and clinically-relevant reports. The problem is the only way to get data from the machine is by plugging a USB thumbdrive. That make automation not possible. What they did is to plug in a raspberry PI instead which configured to emulate as USB mass storage. Then it just a matter of using inotify to detect writing to the file system and send the file to PACS.

It's a weekend very well spent connecting with some old friends and also meeting new people during the event. This probably my last event for this year and hopefully next year we will have more physical conferences.
