Ways to join COSCUP 2023

(Jul 20 Updated)

Conference for Open Source Coders, Users & Promoters (COSCUP) is one of the largest open-source technology conferences in Taiwan, attracting thousands of participants every year and providing rich opportunities for sharing experiences and exchanging ideas. 

COSCUP 2023 will take place from July 29 to July 30 at NTUST, Taipei, Taiwan. This article summarizes a few ways you may be interested in participating in this fantastic year's event. 



👉 Attend as a participant

Anyone can participate in COSCUP as an attendee, and it's totally free! As a large-scale event like FOSDEM.org, no registration is required beforehand, you can just walk in and start your journey.

Participants can attend various sessions, talks, and workshops, learn about the latest open-source technology and trends, exchange experiences, and establish connections with other participants. Checkout:

For overseas participants:

  • Language: More than one hundred talks in English we have this year.
  • VISA: contact attendee@coscup.org for assistance. 
  • Accommodation: We don't have any specific recommendations for accommodation as the event is taking place in downtown Taipei, and it's easy to reach the venue via public transport from anywhere in the city within 30 minutes. You can explore various hotels on OTA platforms of your choice or try this one (without any warranty) if you're having difficulty deciding.
  • Social event and city tour: Check out two special BoFs for you -  1. Cross community Gathering 2. Taipei City Tour
Contact attendee@coscup.org for any questions or assistance.

為什麼電視直播比賽總是比網路快?看低延遲串流如何搶秒數

  大多時候,你在網路上看的 Live 直播串流,其實不是與現實世界完全同步的即時轉播,先看看以下這些場景,相信對你來說並不陌生。 NBA 冠軍賽才正看到精彩處,隔壁鄰居卻突然爆出一陣歡呼,原來,用電視觀賞同一場比賽的他們,比你早 30 秒歡呼慶祝三分球入網,不小心點開社群媒體,更發現朋友們早已發文熱烈討論比賽結果。 就像電影被暴雷一樣,少了即時參與的驚喜感、提早知道結局,觀看直播活動的樂趣頓時大打折扣。 或是,收看跨年演唱會時,正當你興高采烈倒數最後 30 秒時,才發現,窗外的慶祝煙火已經此起彼落,大家都已經跨入新的一年,只有你還停留在前一年。 雖然從絕對時間來看,這些狀況都僅有延遲短短幾秒鐘,但在體感上,觀賞體驗卻大受影響,用「失之毫釐,差之千里」來形容再恰當不過。 使用直播串流時,為什麼你的世界總是比別人慢幾秒?原因正是「串流延遲」。 從攝影機到觀眾螢幕的層層關卡 串流延遲,指的是攝影機拍到影像後,直到觀眾端螢幕出現畫面的時間差。 一般來說,有線電視直播約延遲 5 到 10 秒,而 YouTube、LINE、Twitch 等多數 OTT 平台,延遲大多介於 15 秒至 30 秒,距離延遲秒數低於 3 秒的「超低延遲」(Ultra Low Latency)標準,還有一大段距離,這也讓現有直播內容的互動效果有限。 但想克服延遲並不容易,光是一段畫面要從現場攝影機,傳到電腦和手機螢幕,中間所需流程多到難以想像。 KKStream 執行副總李卓軒 Kevin C.H. Lee 解釋,這流程大致包含一開始的攝影機收取影音訊號,接著需轉換訊號、傳輸、上傳雲端、加密、備份,傳到終端裝置後再解碼,最後才是播放。 這整段「螢幕到螢幕」的過程,就像是將包裹從A點運送到B點,只要中間有幾個環節耽誤,就會讓整體運送時間不斷疊加。「每個步驟都要優化,只要有個點延遲很高,加總起來就無法達到超低延遲的標準,這需要很強的技術掌控力。」Kevin 說。 另一個挑戰則在於,由於各大終端裝置原廠(如Apple、Google)雖然有提供低延遲串流相對應的規範,但並未說明實際的執行細節,因此串流技術業者只能自己摸索。 受限於技術瓶頸,目前大多數的直播串流服務,只能在延遲、直播規模和影像品質三者間取捨。例如,常見的視訊會議軟體,像是 Zoom、Google Meet,雖然延遲相對低,但參與人數上...
