    • Additional talks
    • Workshops
    • A combination of both, depending on the final schedule.

UBports Proposal

  • Discussed the possibility of including a UBports session.
  • Rather than issuing a direct invitation, the team agreed to request a proposal and review it through the normal selection process.
  • Youngbin will contact the UBports team and guide them through the submission process.

Jianlin Lv Proposal (#104)

  • Discussion continued regarding the proposal from Jianlin Lv.
  • As the speaker cannot independently resolve the Taiwan entry permit issue, the team decided to postpone the acceptance decision until further discussion.

Workshop Review

The following workshop proposals were reviewed:

    • Confirm whether they can participate with an approved USD 1,000 travel grant.
  • Laksh Gambhir & Shivay Sharma
