FOSSASIA Summit 2020 Takes Places as Online and Offline Event

Due to the Corona crisis it is clear that events like the FOSSASIA Summit cannot be run in the usual way with large crowds. Therefore this year the FOSSASIA Summit will only be possible as a smaller gathering with social distancing in Singapore and online interactions from Thursday, March 19 – Saturday, March 21. 

Even with travel restrictions in place a number of speakers are in Singapore and expressed their wish sharing their knowledge and the FOSSASIA team is working hard to facilitate this in a safe space offline and online. Due to ongoing changes we will conduct the event with both unscheduled and scheduled sessions. The program will be updated continuously here.

The Lifelong Learning Institute, our host and co-organizer, adjusted the venue to ensure the safety and health of all. To participate on-premise you need to pass a screening test and follow directions for hygiene measures. The sign up is here. 

Singapore has an outstanding record seen internationally as a gold standard when it comes to cleanliness, hygiene and health. Additional measures in the LLI include providing entrance screening tests, social distancing, using open spaces, reducing the use of mics and mic disinfection, avoiding close group photos. Please find a list of measures here.

The events of our time show more than ever that we need to collaborate to solve the world’s problems such as climate change, global health issues, poverty and economic challenges. The FOSS/Open Source community has proven that we are able to overcome differences and work together across countries and cultures. It is important that we stay connected and continue our work be it offline or online. To connect virtually during the FOSSASIA Summit you can join us on these channels:

We will share more details about sessions in the upcoming days. Furthermore, we are planning additional online events at a later time this year. Let’s continue and build a better world through learning and sharing where-ever and however we can!

We would like to thank everyone who supported us throughout these challenges around the event – our speakers, friends, supporters, and partners like Google, Facebook, Arm, and Elastic.

We hope to stay connected. All the best and stay healthy!

Read more about the article Implementing Badgename Update Functionality

Implementing Badgename Update Functionality

Badgeyay project is divided into two parts i.e front-end with Ember JS and back-end with REST-API programmed in Python.

Badgeyay has many features related to enhancement in generation of badges. It gives choice of uploading data entries i.e by CSV or manually. There are options available for choosing Badge Background and font specifications. Now the next important thing from User perspective is that there should be a feature in My badges panel where user can see all badges & other details  and should be able to edit them if he want to, so moving forward with this feature I have implemented Badge Name update functionality in the frontend.

In this blog, I will be discussing how I implemented Update Badge Name functionality in my Pull Request so that the User can change his Badge Name  at any point of time in my badges panel.

Let’s get started and understand it step by step.

Step 1:

Create Badge Name component with Ember CLI.

$ ember g component badge-name

 

Step 2:

Make changes in Handlebar of Badge Name. We will be using semantic UI form for making the changes in Handlebars.

<form class="ui form" {{action 'updateBadgeName' on="change"}}>
    
 class="ui icon input">
     class="pen square icon">
        {{input type="text" value=badge.badge_name }}
    

</form>

 

We have used action on submitting the Form for changing and updating the Badgename in Database.

Step 3:

We will now define the action in badge name JS file. We will also add the validations in Form so that empty form cannot be submitted to the server.

import Component from '@ember/component';
import Ember from 'ember';
const { inject } = Ember;
export default Component.extend({
  init() {
    this._super(...arguments);
  },
  notifications : inject.service('notification-messages'),
  actions       : {
    updateBadgeName() {
      this.get('sendBadgeName')(this.get('badge'));
    },
    didRender() {
      this.$('.ui.form')
        .form({
          inline : true,
          delay  : false,
          fields : {
            Name: {
              identifier : 'Name',
              rules      : [
                {
                  type   : 'empty',
                  prompt : 'Please enter a valid Badge Name'
                }
              ]
            }
          }
        });
    }
  }
});

 

Step 4:

We will now configure the controller to customize the action that we have defined above.

import Controller from '@ember/controller';
import { inject as service } from '@ember/service';
export default Controller.extend({
  routing       : service('-routing'),
  notifications : service('notification-messages'),
  actions       : {
    updateBadgeName(badge) {
      badge.save()
        .then(() => this.get('notifications').success('Badge Name Successfully Updated!', {

        }));
    }
