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

Ionic is a complete open-source SDK that helps you build native-feeling mobile apps using web technologies like HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Ionic is focused mainly on the look and feel, and UI interaction of your app. Built on top of AngularJS and Apache Cordova, Ionic provides tools and services for developing hybrid mobile apps. Apps can be built with these web technologies and then distributed through native app stores to be installed on devices by leveraging Cordova.
Ionic apps work on devices running iOS 8+, Android 4.4+, Windows 10 and Blackberry 10. Ionic is a great solution for creating both mobile web apps and native apps as the apps are built in very clean and modular way, so it’s very maintainable and easy to update. It also has one the best developers community with around 5 million developers and 100 meetup groups in 200 countries with more than 3.1 million apps already developed.
This talk/workshop intends to give the audience an introduction to hybrid mobile app development and it’s advantages. They would hopefully be able to get hold of the working of the framework and deploy a simple ionic app by the end of the workshop.
The talk would begin with briefing of hybrid mobile apps and their working. It would then be followed by a quick run through the basics of AngularJS required for Ionic. Then we would jump into building a minimal ionic app and deploying it to an android device.
Here is a brief outline of the workshop:
A laptop with the ‘Java JDK’ and ‘Android SDK’ installed (for the android device deployment) is recommended, though not required as we would be still able to test the app in our browser.
The participants are expected to know the basics of HTML and Javascript.
