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

We built an app at startup speed, moving fast and breaking things. A year later, as the business is more settled, we look back, digging up spaghetti and lay solid foundations. We see how to slowly unravel the mess and reveal the beauty within.
Starting with decisions made in haste, and roadblocks that were filled in with patchwork, introduce code that got the work done.
Then outline what’s wrong, how that decision matured over the months. Taking several example sections.
Introduce at a business, culture and finally, technical level, what we did to fix things.
With the clarity of hindsight, offer advice for speed and quality.
I spent three and a half years slowly building up Android skills at a relatively relaxed startup. Then spent one more year of insanity, building from the ground up, with a total team size of two, more than 100k LOC with an app that could be considered a consolidation of several others. Then with GDE guidance, and fresh minds, we set to work cleaning up.
With hands on experience in exactly what I’m talking about, I can do this talk justice.
