Hello everyone, we are HKCOTA from Hong Kong! This year marks our second year since the outbreak of the pandemic. With the aim of sharing insights and interesting stories about "HKCOTA x Hong Kong Open Source Annual Conference(HKOSCon)", we hope to raise awareness of Hong Kong's open-source community! We hope to utilize the COSCUP platform to share more about what's happening in the Hong Kong open-source community and to connect with attendees. At our booth in COSCUP, we will introduce upcoming open-source events, culture, projects, and other related information in Hong Kong! This is our open-source community, and we look forward to meeting you at COSCUP!

We are curious about the diverse voices in the field of technology and how people can promote openness and mutual prosperity in this area. We are concerned with workplace safety, gender equality, and multiculturalism. Possible topics may include (but are not limited to) how women can overcome gender discrimination in the workplace, the challenges and resilience of gender diversity in the technology field, how wealth disparity leads to information discrepancies and its remedies, and so on. We are curious about how individuals can break away from the unjust social system and take real action and self-empowerment when they hold justice and ideals in their hearts.

Unlike the complex technical jargon or obscure industry terminology, the Healing Seminar focuses more on exploring issues related to technology, humanities, society, and open organizations in our day-to-day life. It aims to promote understanding of how technology influences our values, emotions, and social interactions. Through these discussions, we hope to explore how to achieve harmonious coexistence between technology and the humanities in this turbulent era, as well as how to address various challenges brought about by technological development.

This year's agenda mainly focuses on discussions of topics such as love, harm, understanding, and repair, with a particular emphasis on themes related to love, trauma, justice, and civic dialogue.

When individuals embrace justice and ideals in their hearts, they can break free from the unjust societal shackles of the past and truly empower themselves to take action. This is the future we envision, and we are curious about the process.

## "Open Source Fair" Vendor Invitation
26
+
27
+
This year, we are introducing a new initiative called the "Open Source Fair." We are planning to recruit 4-6 snack booths, with potential offerings including pastries and traditional snacks such as dried tofu. Importantly, there are no fees for booth setup, but in the spirit of the open-source philosophy, each vendor is required to open source one recipe, sharing and exchanging it with buyers.

29
+
The "Open Source Fair" will take place in a classroom space. Booths will be arranged against the walls, while the central area of the classroom will have seating available for dining and socializing.
30
+
31
+
As this is our first attempt at this new initiative, if you have any ideas or are interested in participating, please feel free to send us an email at our [secretary team](mailto:[email protected]) or reply directly to inquire. A more complete vendor plan is expected by early June, and we welcome your feedback before then to help shape this exciting new venture!
