A Closer Look at GNOME Foundation Websites
15:00 - 15:28
Room: GNOME Asia Summit 2021 A walk-through of some of the GNOME Foundation's websites and systems with Foundation Staff. We'll take a closer look at gnome.org, foundation.gnome.org, and shop.gnome.org and talk about what you can find on each site, how they were created, how they're maintained, and recent updates and additions including the gnome.org and foundation.gnome.org page split and our brand new job board. This talk is a great intro for newcomers but also based on the recent website updates, a great refresher for long-time GNOME users and contributors as well.

A healthy git commit for everyday development
A healthy git commit for everyday development (Track A)
15:00 - 15:28
Room: GNOME Asia Summit 2021 A good day is when you know what to do in that day. A standup meeting everyday is the one you can describe everything you want to do in a day. But that’s not enough (at least for me personally). Once you face the screen you might be forgot about it or your co-worker want to discuss with you after the standup. Logging everything what you want to do is important. It’s not only for others but also you in the future. The best way to commit is everyday so that’s why I don’t suggest to create a huge ticket. The ticket should only can finish in a day or less. If a big ticket can’t be avoided, the do a commit message everyday. I will show you why this is matter and can make your life easier.
15:30 Keynote: Developing and promoting open-source projects: A way to success - Galina Goduhina (ONLYOFFICE)
Keynote: Developing and promoting open-source projects: A way to success
- Galina Goduhina (ONLYOFFICE)
15:30 - 16:30
Room: GNOME Asia Summit 2021 Nowadays open-source culture has already become a part of our lives. Being an open-source project, we understand that open source doesn’t just mean that something is free of charge. Open source means transparency and reliability. So, it’s not a surprise that the open-source model has reshaped the industry by changing how software is produced and consumed. Many developers and start-ups opt for going open-source. However, the question arises — how to bring my project to as many people as possible? This talk seeks to examine which difficulties companies face when creating open-source products, how it affects the business model and which ways are there to promote such projects. Based on experience we got by developing ONLYOFFICE, we’ll discover the most important aspects of gaining more attention to open-source software, from making well-structured documentation and providing training to building your own community and even taking speaking opportunities like this one. About ONLYOFFICE ONLYOFFICE is an open-source project with the focus on advanced and secure document processing. In the past 10 years the project rose to universal office apps used by more than 7M people worldwide on their personal computers, mobile devices, local networks, and in public cloud. ONLYOFFICE actively supports various open-source initiatives, also being a member of such organizations as Open Source Business Alliance, Linux Foundation, etc.

Inkscape and my Academic Journey as Sport Student (Track B)
18:00 - 18:25
Room: GNOME Asia Summit 2021 Inkscape is a software that I've only ever known when I was in school. When I was in college, I unexpectedly met this software again in an Inkscape community on my campus. It turned out that my second meeting with Inkscape made me learn a lot about design, doing publications for various activities, even the completion of my studies at university. I'm currently pursuing a postgraduate program and Inkscape is still my best friend. In this talk, I will tell you about my journey using Inkscape since college as an undergraduate student until now as a postgraduate majoring in sports.

Keynote-Prof. Dr. Suhaimi Napis, PhD,
15:30 - 16:30
Room: GNOME Asia Summit 2021 My OSS Journey My OSS journey started when I was doing my PhD in Plant Molecular Biology between 1988 to 1991 where I am required to carry out bio-informatics analysis of my DNA sequences. Many of the softwares I used for the analyses were developed by fellow scientists and almost all are opensource although later on some were packaged as a paid service by companies. At that time, GeneBank database, one of the most widely used database for molecular biologists, can be stored inside 6 double sided double density (DSDD) floppy disks each capable of storing 512KB data. Upon coming back from the study, and started working at Universiti Putra Malaysia, I was given SUN Sparc 5 with floppy disk drive and that was the beginning of my exposure to SUN Solaris and UNIX system and the rest is history. The talk will narrate my OSS journey of over 20 years until today with my laptop running Endless OS. I will also touch on what our company, Birunisoft current activities and what kind of softwares we are using to operate SIFULAN and its associated services.

How Designers Prepare to Survive Post-Pandemic Era with Free Open Source Software
How Designers Prepare to Survive Post-Pandemic Era with Free Open Source Software (Track B)
16:45 - 17:13
Room: GNOME Asia Summit 2021 In this digital era, everyone uses multimedia in their daily life. Cell phones, social media, and the internet seem to be the new basic needs. The pandemic has increased the intensity of gadget use due to limited mobility and physical activity. It changes in our activities into online activities, making our attention focused on online media. The use of online media then increases the need for attractive displays and visuals. Thus, today many people become designers to supply that need. The increasing number of new graphic designers will certainly be a challenge for existing designers, including designers who use open source software. In this talk, I will talk about the challenges that designers may face after the pandemic and what we need to prepare for them.

Javanese Script In Gnome
Javanese Script In Gnome (Track A)
18:00 - 18:25
Room: GNOME Asia Summit 2021 Javanese Script is one of Indonesia's traditional scripts developed on the island of Java. The script is primarily used to write the Javanese language, but in the course of its development has also been used to write several other regional languages such as Sundanese, Madurese, and Sasak; the lingua franca of the region, Malay; as well as the historical languages Kawi and Sanskrit. Javanese script is one of the Brahmi descendants in Indonesia in which its evolutionary history can be traced fairly well due to the numerous inscriptional evidences that permitted epigraphical studies. The oldest root of the Javanese script is Indian Brahmi script which evolves into Pallava script in Southern India and Southeast Asia between 6th and 8th ce. Javanese script was added to the Unicode Standard in October, 2009 with the release of version 5.2. The Unicode block for Javanese is U+A980–U+A9DF. There is already a lot of documentation on how to type Javanese script in GNOME. However, the problems of "pasangan"/conjuncts is still often found. The Problem may be caused by font problems and applications that are not support with smart font technology from SIL Graphite. On this occasion, I would like to share some of my experiences in typing Javanese script in Gnome. May be useful.
