As a totally procrastinator, I wrote my review to the workshops a week after it ended :P.

Our local community, MozTW, with the help from OSSF, had held a series of workshop spoken by me, littlebtc, a Jetpack ambassador, about the Jetpack. The workshops held in three major cities in Taiwan: Taipei on March 6, Kaohsiung on March 20, and Taichung on April 3.

In the workshops, the API/JEPs from (now deprecated) Jetpack Prototype was mainly discussed; but technical overview of Jetpack SDK was also included; in the final workshop in Taichung, a demo of Jetpack SDK was given.

Free time to make Jetpacks was another interesting thing in the workshops. Some attendees wrote interesting Jetpacks, including some basic but useful work like fast dictionary search, copy hyperlink HTML code, and "Share with microblogging" function. There are also some fun works, like "Say sorry!", which will input "I'm sorry, it's my fault!" into the textbox and then play a song about apoligize.

For the attendees' work, slides, and more info, check MozTW's event site. Video will be available soon.
