Boba & Tech: FREE OpenClaw Setup
**NOTE**: Event registration is managed on [Luma.com](https://luma.com/wqett25z) Grab a boba and pull up a chair for a chill night at Central Market. This week's session is all about one thing: getting OpenClaw up and running on your machine for free. Here's how the setup session will work: 1. **Early Bird Special**: People who arrive early will be eligible for free 1:1 OpenClaw setup. 2. **Lucky Draw**: One person will be randomly selected for dedicated setup help. Everyone else is welcome to follow along! 3. **What to Bring**: · A Laptop with Power: Make sure it's charged and has enough free space. · A Cellphone Hotspot: Central Market WiFi can be unpredictable, so bringing your own hotspot is highly recommended for a smooth installation. **About Lunatechs** This event is hosted by the founders of Lunatechs—a community for the ones who genuinely love technology, not just for the gadgets but for what it can do. Hanley Leung (Engineering Leader, ex-Apple/EA/Yahoo!) and Jason Xu (Product Manager, ex-Google/Alibaba) started Lunatechs to bring together aspirational techies to socialize, share, and build. Come for the tech, stay for the boba, and let's get OpenClaw installed!

#111 Friday Beer Bay Gathering @ Pier 4
#111 Friday Beer Bay Gathering @ Pier 4
Come for another casual gathering and 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 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 Mar 6!

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**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** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
