FOSSMeet is the annual Free and Open source software meet at NIT Calicut. We are inviting proposals for talks and workshops at FOSSMeet 2018.
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 23, 2017
Proposal submission deadline: Jan 2, 2018
Proposal acceptance: Jan 18, 2018
Presentation upload: Feb 5, 2018

This talk will provide an introduction to custom Android ROMs, and help developers recognise the elements of custom ROMs that enable users to enjoy their phones more and provide convenience without being too intrusive and gimmicky.
Features that improve UX
In this part audience will learn more about UX. They will be shown live demos of these features.
How can Substratum theming change the way you use your phone?
This is a really intresting part because most of the people dont know about Substratum theming, and how it will increase UX.
What is Xposed Module and how it helps in UX?
This will be the last session during which we will be getting to know more about Xposed module and how it works, along with how it can fill the gaps of Stock ROMs. This feature could be used as an alternative to custom ROMs itslef to imporve UX.
None. All you need to be is an Android enthusiast.
Vibhoothi Anand is a CSE student at Amrita School of Engineering, Amritapuri. He has been building custom ROMs since 2017. He is currently a member of the VertexOS custom Android ROM team where he maintains for OnePlus 2.
In his college there is a club named Foss@Amrita, where people contribute to various open source organisations and he is part of the club. His intrest in custom ROMs began when his phone(OnePlus 2) encountered serious issues like heating, very low battery life, and poor support from the manufacturer. So he relied on custom ROMs. Later on he found that this really helped his phone and it’s quality. Performance and efficiency have also increased.
