The 3D-printed HAL9000 case shown was created with a lot of attention to detail, and as a Stanley Kubrick fan, I was immediately inspired. For me the talk was interesting in that I reported on the same topic myself 2 years ago Video, am currently working on a new iteration of my voice assistant and looking for inspiration.
#USING PMENU SOFTWARE#
Jürgen did not only talk about the hardware selection but also about software frameworks and experiments. The latter reported on various iterations of his self-built voice assistant in HAL9000 design, which is powered by open source software. My personal highlight was the presentation Der eigene digitale (offline) Sprachassistent Video by Jürgen Pabel. In addition to some typical beginner mistakes, more complex looping constructs as well as advanced topics, such as YAML templates, were shown. Henning Rohde reported in his presentation Patterns & Anti-Patterns bei der Automatisierung von Ansible Video about typical Dos and Don’ts when using Ansible.
There were some very interesting presentations and so I still have to watch one or the other presentation afterwards, as they were running in parallel.
While I was usually present only one day in the last years, this year’s program was significantly more interesting for me, so I attended lectures on both days. Visitors could choose between 70 workshops and lectures – and, as usual, free of charge. The lecture program was – as usual – extensive. Exhibitor booths and the obligatory social event on Saturday evening invited to networking and exchange – which was actively used by the 750 visitors. After two years of pandemic online events, lectures and workshops took place again at the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences in Sankt Augustin. Last weekend on 20/ it was finally time – the 17th FrOSCon conference in presence took place.
