The devroom proposals have been discussed and we have made our choices. Frankly, it wasn’t an easy choice!
We had planned on having four devrooms. However, the array of proposals we received made our task quite difficult. So much so that we couldn’t get ourselves to select just four. We ended up selecting six! Thanks again to every one of the devroom proposers - it was quite some work making those proposals and we are thankful for all the efforts put in. Also we thank @Nemo again for proposing inclusion of devrooms for IndiaFOSS 2025. We are pretty sure this is a great way to get more of the community involved.
Here are the selected devrooms for IndiaFOSS 2025, in alphabetical order, tagged with the primary proposer for notification:
- AOSP @amit_pundir
- Compilers, Programming Languages and Systems @Ashutosh_Pandey
- FOSS in Science @rahulporuri
- Geopolitics and Policy in FOSS @Anwesha_Sen1
- Open Data @Nemo
- Open Hardware @Balu_B
Hearty congratulations to all the selected proposers! Please do pass on the good news to your fellow managers and teams. We (conference committee and volunteers) look forward to discussing these with you guys, and we’ll be sending meeting invites for the same later this week. Do note that the last date for submitting proposals to the conference is now advanced to June 7th. That gives us over a month to get proposals in. The announcement of the selected devrooms will be made soon, and the proposal submission form would start accepting proposals for the same as well.
The proposals that didn’t make it have uncovered many possibilities in terms of what could be done at the conference. So we have a couple of suggestions in this regard…
- BoF (Birds of a Feather) proposals are now open. We’ll be accepting them till June 7th. Please consider proposing a BoF if you feel that can fit your topic.
- Talk proposals and workshop proposals are also open. Some of the devroom planned content could be proposed into these funnels.
