HasGeek believes in open source as the binding force of our community. If you are describing a codebase for developers to work with, we’d like for it to be available under a permissive open source licence. If your software is commercially licensed or available under a combination of commercial and restrictive open source licences (such as the various forms of the GPL), please consider picking up a sponsorship. We recognise that there are valid reasons for commercial licensing, but ask that you support us in return for giving you an audience. Your session will be marked on the schedule as a “sponsored session”.
Proposals will be filtered and shortlisted by an Editorial Panel.
** Make sure to add links to videos / slide decks when submitting proposals. We will not review proposals without detailed outlines or slide decks and preview videos.**
The first filter for every proposal is whether the technology or solution you are referring to is open source or not. If you are referring to a proprietary technology, consider picking up a sponsored session.
The criteria for selecting proposals, in the order of importance, are:
No one submits the perfect proposal in the first instance. We therefore encourage you to:
Our editorial team also helps potential speakers in honing their speaking skills, and rehearsing at least twice - before the main conference - to sharpen the focus of talks.
A speaker is NOT confirmed a slot unless we explicitly mention so in an email or over any other medium of communication.
Selected speakers get a pass to the conference and networking dinner. We do not provide free passes for speakers’ colleagues and spouses.
We also pay an honararium of Rs. 5,000 to each speaker, at the end of their talk.
Fragments 2017 is funded through ticket purchases and sponsorships.
We try to provide full or partial travel grants for at least two international and two domestic speakers.
First preference in awarding grants is given to women speakers, persons of non-binary genders, and speakers from Africa. If you require a travel grant, indicate this in the field where you add your location.
Deadline for submitting proposals: 30 July, 2017
**Conference date: ** 12-13 Sept, 2017

Have you noticed that the development of Virtual Reality experiences has started a major makeover of the computer industry? I believe that Virtual Reality is going to become a primary platform soon, which will completely change the way we work, play and communicate digitally.
The Web, being the most open platform, is now a key participant for providing cool Virtual Reality experiences quickly. I would love to conduct a workshop about Building Virtual Reality websites using A-Frame in this version of JSFoo. A-Frame is an open-source web framework by Mozilla for easily creating VR experiences using WebVR which work on all platforms. It’s really easy and fun to work with A-Frame to build a VR website, all you need to get started is a basic knowledge of HTML & JS.
In this workshop, audience will learn to use various concepts & APIs of A-Frame and will be able to create interactive and immersive Virtual Reality experiences on the web. This workshop will also cover how different is A-Frame from any other similar frameworks like ReactVR. I will also introduce how one can get involved with the A-Frame community to contribute in its development.
1. Introduction [10-15 mins]:
2. A-Frame hands-on session [40-50 mins]:
We will divide participants into teams to work on set of tasks, whenever required.
3. Q/A & Followup tasks [10-15 mins]:
We need VR Devices (Cardboards / Daydream View / HTC Vives) to test the VR experiences build by audience. We can make few devices available for all participants, additionally we can ask participants to get their own devices with themself.
Ram Dayal Vaishnav, Senior Web Developer from Arcesium, is very passionate about Open Source and has been to Mozilla’s projects for more than 5 years now. He is also a Mozilla Tech Speaker & Mozilla Representative. Ram was involved with Mozilla’s WebVR framework A-Frame since its birth in late 2015. Apart from code contribution, he has also gave talks on A-Frame at various national and international events including MozFest London and FOSSASIA Singapore.
Ram also co-founded WebVR India group, a developer community in India working on VR development & evangelism. DevDiner.com, a website for emerging technologies developers, recently named Ram as one of their AR/VR inspirations of 2016 for his inspirational work in the fields of VR & IoT. Ram is also W3C contributor in W3C WebVR community group.
