FOSSMeet is the annual Free and Open source software meet at NIT Calicut. We are inviting proposals for talks and workshops at FOSSMeet 2017.
Through FOSSMeet, we intend to get the attendees, mostly students, get started with the development and usage of free software. You may propose to conduct a lecture, demo, tutorial, workshop, discussion or panel at FOSSMeet. If the contents of your session is the ‘I am feeling lucky’ result of some Google search, there is low probability that it’ll be accepted. Same applies to proposals titled ‘The absolute beginner introduction to X’ and others on a similar line. On the other hand, if your talk is on some obscure, albeit important, free software project that will go over most students head, this might not be the best platform to deliver that talk. There are always exceptions and we leave that to your judgement. If our audience wants it, we’ll try our best to accommodate it. Of course, if you find people interested in your proposal, you can always call a BoF. We are all for BoF’s! :)
Take the above with a pinch of salt. They are no s̶t̶r̶i̶c̶t̶ ̶r̶u̶l̶e̶s̶, only guidelines. All your proposals are welcome and we celebrate every single one that we receive! :D Looking forward to see you folks here.
Your audience (mostly) comprises of smart, above average, GNU/Linux aware students.
Call for proposals opens: Oct 27, 2016
Proposal submission deadline: Jan 15, 2017
Proposal acceptance: Jan 20, 2017
Presentation upload: Feb 15, 2017

At the end of this talk people will get a clear idea on different changes in the web domain, different emerging web technologies and How exciting working with web technologies would be.
Web has always been an evolving resource. Most people thought that the web is dead about 5 years ago but then things changed.Web has been so innovative in a way which no one never imagined it to be. Web is decentralized and is in a state that it can do anything and everything in the software world. Mozilla built Firefox OS, a completely web based mobile operating system, Launched Connected devices Project to build an entire IOT ecosystem using Javascript, Progressive web apps proved they are not any less than Native apps.Want to know more on How web is conquering the Native, VR platform etc? Then this talk is for you.
Since I will be showing few examples of webVR, People would be able to try building their own vr projects if they get google cardboards or any VR headsets.
