Submission guidelines

We do not accept: How-to and introductory-level talks. We are interested in discussing the “whys” and “approaches” rather than “how-to”. Talks that have been covered in previous editions of Rootconf. Refer to https://hasgeek.tv/rootconf/ for all talks covered between Rootconf 2012 and 2018.expand

We do not accept:

  1. How-to and introductory-level talks. We are interested in discussing the “whys” and “approaches” rather than “how-to”.
  2. Talks that have been covered in previous editions of Rootconf. Refer to https://hasgeek.tv/rootconf/ for all talks covered between Rootconf 2012 and 2018.
  3. Proposals where code used for implementation is not demonstrated. Ideas are great, but it is the implementation that matters. Don’t talks to us about fantastic ideas. Tell us real stories of implementations – patterns and anti-patterns.

The next edition of Rootconf annual conference will be held on 21 and 22 June, in Bangalore. More details are available here: https://hasgeek.com/rootconf/2019/
