##About Droidcon
Droidcon is a two day international conference that’s all about Android. It brings together luminaries from all aspects of the Android ecosystem - solo app developers, visual and interaction designers, software startups, enterprise software leaders, robotics and arduino wizards, kernel and ROM hackers, OEMs and platform providers, and technology enthusiasts.
##Tickets
Tickets are available from droidcon.doattend.com.
##Proposal Selection Process
The proposal funnel below will enable you to submit a session and vote on proposed sessions. It is a good practice introduce yourself and share details about your work as well as the subject of your talk while proposing a session.
Each community member can vote for or against a talk. A vote from each member of the Program Committee is equivalent to two community votes. Both types of votes will be considered for final speaker selection.
It’s useful to keep a few guidelines in mind while submitting proposals:
Describe how to use something that is available under a liberal open source license. Participants can use this without having to pay you anything.
Tell a story of how you did something. If it involves commercial tools, please explain why they made sense.
Buy a slot to pitch whatever commercial tool you are backing.
Making a funnel submission does not guarantee final selection. While selected speakers will get a free ticket to both days of the event, proposers whose talks are not on the final schedule will be able to purchase tickets at the Early Geek price of Rs. 1800.
Sessions at this year’s Droidcon are 30 minutes each, including transition time. You have 20 minutes to present and 5 minutes for Q&A, with the remaining 5 minutes for the next presenter to begin setting up while you answer the last set of questions.
If you have material that will need more than 30 minutes, consider:

Smartphones and Tablet users are increasing at an exponential rate every year, it is growing beyond the PC market. Every phone and Tablet can have an accessory that can cater to application specific needs such as audio docking stations, exercise machines, personal medical devices, weather stations and so on.
This talks helps in understanding the concepts of building an Android accessory using TI’s AM335x based Beaglebone. This also gives the details on protocol, framework, application development, debugging methods and so on.
With Android 3.1, the Android platform introduced Android Open Accessory support, which allows external USB hardware (an Android USB accessory) to interact with an Android-powered device in a special accessory mode. Android USB accessories are specifically designed to attach to Android-powered devices and adhere to a simple protocol (Android accessory protocol) that allows them to detect Android-powered devices that support accessory mode.
With majority of smart phones and tablets using Android today, an Android open accessory standard provides a vital link between phones,tablets and other Android powered devices, and embedded systems which are pervasive in our daily life.Android accessories can be audio docking stations, exercise machines, personal medical testing devices, weather stations, or any other external hardware device that adds to the functionality of Android.
Beaglebone Android accessory kit gives you freedom to innovate and develop new accessories for Android devices. It provides an easy to use development kit that will help to take Android accessories at next level.
