Themed “Powering the Future: A Greener Smart Power and Energy System,” this year’s Forum will bring together industry leaders to share insights on cutting-edge techno-logical advancements. The event will explore strategies to drive the commercialisation of green innovation and technology (I&T) outcomes. As highlighted in the Chief Executive’s 2025 Policy Address, promoting green energy is crucial for achieving our nation’s “dual carbon” targets and Hong Kong’s goal of carbon neutrality before 2050. This Forum will provide a timely platform to drive green technology applications and support sustainable urban development. Additionally, the Forum will explore collaborations between government, industry, academia and research, reinforcing our city’s position as an international I&T hub.

**Description:** Are you fascinated by how programming languages work under the hood? Join our weekly meetup where we explore compilers, programming language design, and the diverse ecosystems that bring code to life! We've evolved from our OCaml roots into a vibrant community that examines programming languages from every angle. Whether you're curious about type systems, debating functional vs object-oriented paradigms, or diving into implementation details like Haskell's tuples, you'll find engaging discussions here. *** **🔍 What we explore:** • **Compiler construction phases** \- lexical analysis\, parsing\, type checking\, optimization\, and code generation • **Compilation targets & environments** \- virtual machines\, WebAssembly\, and LLVM • **Programming language features** \- type systems\, design trade\-offs across languages from OCaml to Rust to Haskell and beyond *** **👥 Who we are:** Our community includes: • Beginners taking their first steps into compiler construction • Experienced developers working on language implementations • Everyone in between! **We provide guidance and mentorship for those starting from scratch**, while also tackling advanced topics for seasoned practitioners. *** **💡 What happens in our sessions:** • Share compiler projects and implementation challenges • Debate language design decisions • Collaborate on solving interesting problems • Compare strategies (like garbage collection approaches) • Build toy language parsers together *** **🎯 Who should join:** • Compiler construction enthusiasts • Programming language designers • Type theory aficionados • VM implementers • OCaml, Haskell, Rust (or any language) enthusiasts • Anyone curious about what happens when you hit "compile" *** **📋 What to bring:** • Your curiosity about programming languages • A laptop if you want to code along • Any questions or projects you'd like to discuss **No prior compiler experience necessary** – just bring your enthusiasm for understanding how programming languages come to life!

Come for another casual gathering! Chat with peers in the software & technology community. Bring your smile and relax with a refreshing drink. **Concept** 🍻 It works simple: 1. feel free to arrive and leave at any time during the event 2. get yourself a drink at the bar or convenience store 3. say hi to someone in the group and chat away. **How to find us?** 👀 Bart/Stephen usually wear something that is easy to spot in a crowd. Often it's a bright coloured t-shirt or something other orange themed. Have a look at past photos of meetups to recognise him. Moreover, we usually stand close to the bar. **Venue** 📍 **The Beer Bay** is an **outdoor kiosk/bar**, situated at the walkway between the Central Ferry Piers, at the ground level **entrance of Central Ferry Pier #4** (to Lamma Island). There's plenty of space to stand, and various places to get drinks. Usually lots of people in conversation, and an overall casual and relaxed atmosphere. In summer it can get hot and sweaty, and winter a bit cold, but drinks are refreshing and nothing beats that skyline! **Toilets** 🚻 There is a public toilet at the end of the piers near pier 2, or you could walk to the IFC shopping mall nearby. **Drinks** 🍺🍷🍹🥤 The Beer Bay serves refreshing alcoholic drinks, such as cold drafts, wine and plenty of mixers too. There are also non-alcoholic options from other stands and convenience stores around as well. See you on Friday Jan 23!

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus. In this session, we’ll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. We’ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks. Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday. **YouTube Link** TBA

Bring your work or your hobby, hang out, and code with us. Follow @buckeyecocoa for more information.

2026 may be the last year many developers write code by hand. We need coding agents to solve complex problems in production codebases, but vibe coding alone won’t get us there. Vibe coding is all gas, no brakes. It burns up the context window until the agent slips on its own slop. You can go fast at first, but the more you stuff into the context window, the more tangled its outputs get. While the industry is rapidly increasing code generation speed, we still have to understand, review, merge, and maintain what gets shipped. This talk featuring Michael Geiger will outline how coding agents (Claude Code + Gas Town) work and a framework for orchestrating them to solve complicated problems in complex codebases. It’s about steering the model: doing the research to align intent, planning the approach up front, implementing in parallel steps, and breaking early. Human judgment still matters, but it should be spent on high-leverage decisions: what to build, what to forbid, and “what is quality?”, not cleaning up slop. Attendees will leave with a checklist to identify workflow and environment gaps that hold agents back, so you and your team can ship higher-quality software starting tomorrow.
