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

With thousands of apps being released every month in every category in both the Play Store and the App Store it is no longer enough to make a functional app. In order to stand out it is important to delight your users by going above and beyond with both your design and UX and have a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’. In this talk we will go over things you need to do to make your apps delightful.
We will go over common issues from widely used apps and things you can implement to make your app fun.
Literally thousands of apps are released Every.Single.Month. Whether you are an indie developer who is targeting a niche or a billion dollar company it is not enough to be functional. You need to stand out.
There are a LOT of possibilities with this and we will briefly touch upon all of them. We will also talk about custom animations with Lottie.
The slides will be interactive with gifs, videos and code samples. From a code standpoint I will focus on Android but where possible I will mention the iOS equivalents.
In the coming 3-4 days I will flesh out the outline and add slides.
I have been working on Android apps for the past 3 years. I work with Android, Python and Javascript at Fireframe.io as a software developer. You might know me from other events like PyCon 2014 where I presented a poster on Creating a Fall Detector using Raspberry Pi and Python or from my talk at Droidcon 2016 or from my indie app Search for Reddit.
