Tweet

OPPO ColorOSHack 2023, themed "Pantanal Service, Empowering Lives with Intelligence," kicks off on July 11th (Beijing time). The contest encourages global developers to tap into Pantanal's existing capabilities, offering intelligent living experiences for over 500 million ColorOS users worldwide by focusing on situations such as lifestyle, transportation, and entertainment.

OPPO ColorOSHack 2023

The Pantanal Ecosystem Is Opening Up to Invite Southeast Asian Developers

Since its release, the Pantanal Comprehensively Intelligent Platform has been in collaboration with 21 eco-partners, including top companies such as Meituan, Baidu Map, Umetrip and Xiaohongshu in China, as well as Snapchat, Spotify, Zamato, and Swiggy overseas. Among them, four ecological partners have reached strategic cooperation in scenarios covering life services, travel, entertainment, office and other fields, meaning more than 300,000 developers have contributed to the construction of the Pantanal ecosystem.

As part of the Pantanal innovation ecosystem, OPPO ColorOSHack 2023 was officially opened for global registration on July 11 and will last until September 15. This year's competition will focus on Southeast Asia, aiming to find local service providers or developers in scenarios such as lifestyle services, transportation services and entertainment services, encouraging them to develop smart services in relevant scenarios, conceptualize scenarios and design interaction forms by learning the Pantanal Platform, to explore services that meet the local market in Southeast Asia. 

A Comprehensive Developer Empowerment System to Enhance Development Efficiency from Multiple Dimensions

In addition to the continuation of the previous prize money system, the contest will open up the corresponding development capabilities of the Pantanal Platform and the Pantanal DevKit, including Pantanal DevFwk, Pantanal DevStudio, and supporting guidelines to help developers achieve low-cost, cross-terminal service development quickly.

Pantanal Platform has made accessible various development capabilities, including Context Awareness, Service Running, and Natural Interaction. For instance, Pantanal DevFwk may be used to transform sophisticated cross-terminal, multi-service entry points into easy-to-use interfaces. This enables each development to quickly adapt to various terminals and entry points while optimizing cross-platform operating efficiency to satisfy developers' demands.

The brand-new Pantanal DevStudio can provide multiple business module options for developers by integrating the integrated development environment for relevant Pantanal modules, thus helping them to reduce costs and improve efficiency significantly. It also features consistent cross-platform rendering and real-time preview across multiple entry points and devices, enabling developers to obtain and validate results quickly.

In OPPO ColorOSHack 2023, developers will experience these Pantanal Platform open capabilities and Pantanal DevKits in advance while greatly improving development efficiency. A single developer is expected to accomplish service development in as little as three days and end-to-end service uploads in 30 days.

Pantanal: Comprehensively Intelligent Platform

To answer developers' questions about the contest and guide developers in utilizing Pantanal Platform open capabilities and Pantanal DevStudio, OPPO ColorOS has arranged online event briefings and online salons for Q&A and explanations. During the final round's device debugging phase, participants will receive technical support directly from the OPPO technical team. Additionally, the contest has invited local Southeast Asian entrepreneurs and OPPO industry experts to the final venue, where they will offer participants professional advice. It is also worth noting that the OPPO App Store will support and reward the winning works.

Furthermore, OPPO ColorOS offers complete assistance to Pantanal ecosystem developers, including year-round developer live stream (Otalk), a developer community, salon events, and a developer academy part on the open platform's official website. More salon events, live stream, and training materials will be made available in the coming days.

OPPO ColorOSHack 2022

Join OPPO ColorOSHack 2023 to Co-create a Human-centered, Beyond-boundary Ecosystem

In the context of beyond-boundary ecosystem, OPPO ColorOS aims to provide more support for Southeast Asian developers through the contest, to lower development barriers, optimize training systems, and assist outstanding global makers in smoothly carrying out projects. A more open and dynamic Pantanal ecosystem will be established to expand the possibilities for the intelligent living experiences of over 500 million ColorOS users globally.

4 easy tips to remember to have an unstoppable year - These health tips can help Filipinos live their best life this 2023

Tweet

One in five Filipinos has already booked international trips this 2023. Not only that, but 44% of Filipinos are planning to travel two to four times this year.[1] At the same time, the Department of Tourism (DOT) is targeting to have 4.8 million tourist arrivals in the country this year, twice the number of visitors in 2022.[2]

This means a lot of people will be going in and out of the country. We can expect more crowds and busier streets, especially during summer, which is one of the best times to travel because of the holidays and school vacations. If you are one of those looking to have an unstoppable year full of adventures, consider these four easy health tips:

Drink vitamins

Taking vitamins regularly can supplement a healthy diet and lifestyle.[3] This is especially true for people going on vacation, who need to boost their immunity before and during their trip. Immune-boosting supplements like vitamins C and D, zinc, and probiotics can be taken three to five days before a trip and during[4] to help travelers stay in tip-top shape.

Stay hydrated

Staying hydrated is important all year round. Getting enough water prevents infections, brings nutrients to cells, and ensures that organs are working optimally. Aside from these benefits, drinking the recommended amount of water each day is good for cognition, sleep quality, and mood.[5] The amount of water needed per day varies per individual, but for the healthy ones, the recommended amount of water that men should drink daily is 15.5 cups, and 11.5 cups for women.[6]

Drinking enough water before travel is recommended because flying can be dehydrating.[7] Airplanes are kept at 10 to 20% humidity, a lower rate compared to normal environments that range from 35 to 65%. Lower humidity leads to dehydration.[8]

Sleep well

Good sleep leads to improved health, mood, immune system, and brain performance.[9] Seven to nine hours of continuous sleep is needed to feel refreshed.[10] Maintain good sleep habits days before a flight to have enough energy for the trip.

Flying to countries with the same time zone or with just an hour or two difference is easy. When traveling across the world, it’s important to adjust to the day-night cycle at the destination.[11] Stay up with the locals when the arrival time is during the day and sleep at night.

Get vaccinated

Vacations expose travelers to diseases, so timely immunizations through vaccinations are crucial. The flu is one of the most common infectious diseases and it is contagious. Each infected person can spread the disease to one or two more people.[12]

Preventive healthcare is still the best protection since people can catch the flu at any time of the year. It’s also important to get a shot annually since flu vaccines change each year to match the current viruses.

Most of all, you wouldn’t want to miss all the fun you have planned for your trip if you get sick. Take it from GlaxoSmithKline Philippines' (GSK) latest flu disease awareness jingle, “But I Got the Flu[1] .” It’s a call to everyone to get your flu shots as soon as possible so you can be unstoppable - whether in having your best summer vacation yet, spending quality time with loved ones, or pursuing other passions in life - don’t let the flu stop you. All you need to do is consult your doctor to ensure that you’re in the right condition to do so.

“People are excited to make up for all the things that they missed at the height of the pandemic. Now that travel restrictions are looser and we can enjoy the best holiday destinations, it’s important to not let our guard down. We recommend that travelers take preventive measures so they can be unstoppable and enjoy their trips worry-free,” says Dr. Kevin Bautista, GSK Medical Affairs Manager.
