Conferences

A community-curated list of conferences around the world for Android developers.

Adding a conference

Send a pull-request which adds a file to the _conferences/ directory with a new file representing the conference. The file should be named with the conference name, the year, and with an .md extension (for example, my-cool-conference-2016.md).

The contents of the file should use the following template:

---
name: "Droidcon"
website: http://uk.droidcon.com/2015/
location: London, UK
status: Canceled/Postponed  # Optional, will show up in red if provided
online: true                # Optional, for online-only events.

date_start: 2015-10-29
date_end:   2015-10-30

cfp:  # Optional
  start: 2015-06-16
  end:   2015-07-21
  site: http://uk.droidcon.com/2015/lineup-2015/ # Optional, will default to website
---

Note: Do not include the location of the conference in the name. The above conference is often referred to as "Droidcon London", but we will always render the location with the name so it is redundant.

Online-only events

For online only events please set online: true in the template. They will show up in the Upcoming page as well as in the Online-only page.

Running locally

bundle install --path vendor/bundle

conferences's Issues

Calling 4 volunteers label

It will be great if the page also shows a label Calling 4 volunteers, this way everybody can know when an event is looking for volunteers.

A great conference needs a great staff. Volunteering at a conference it's an inexpensive way to have access to the conferences and having the opportunity to meet a bunch of great developers.

CI

set it up...

Have a collection of slideshows, will it help?

I have a collection of (bit older) slideshows. Which is here with yml file

If it helps, I am open to create a pull request.

The website is not getting updated

I don't see my last merged conference (mDevCamp) on the website. I checked the CI and the log looks OK, anybody knows what's wrong?

Option of adding events on google calender

It would be great if there is any functionality to add events to the google calender specially for people using android devices as google calender can sync on every device i.e mobile devices, tablets etc. (considering option of iCalender is already given that can help ios users), hence a better track of confrences can be taken place.

Some files for conferences have character in their name that is not supported by Windows

The files that describe "360|AnDev" conferences have the "|" character in their name which is not supported on Windows in file names. This also makes the git client SourceTree crash. Please change the file names of these.

Call for Papers link

It may be helpful to have an optional direct link to the CFP. The green box always looks clickable to me. An issue may be that, if optional, there would be inconsistent "clickability" behavior.

Past conferences shown in Upcoming

At the moment, the first 3 conferences in the Upcoming tab are:

2018-03-12 MobileTech Conference Munich, Germany
2018-03-15 AppDevCon Amsterdam, NL
2018-03-26 Droidcon Boston, MA, USA

The former 2 are already over, so they shouldn't appear here.

Past events

it would be a good feature if we could see the past events. We could find good resources on websites of past events.

Software for community calendars

Hello, please excuse the issue but it seemed the best way to get in touch. Just close this if you don't care and I'll get the hint!

I work on Open Source software specially for what your doing - namely, a calendar that the community works together on. It lets many people edit the calendar safely and has all kinds of Open Data feeds (including for when data changed - #9). Honestly, the CFP deadlines is not something we have an easy way to hook up but is something that would be an interesting challenge to look into. But apart from that I hope you'll find this pretty good.

Anyway, the software is at http://ican.openacalendar.org/ and it's used mainly in the UK to run this calendar of Tech Events: http://opentechcalendar.co.uk/

Hope this is of interest and happy to answer questions,
Thanks,
James

Some talks video are available here. Please add the link.

Link for past events is broken

The link for past event is broken. It points to http://androidstudygroup.github.io/past.html but the page is actually here: http://androidstudygroup.github.io/conferences/past.html

Add check to ensure conference files are added to the proper directory

I have no good idea on how to automatically distinguish between PRs that intend to add a conference and others. But the latter happen rarely enough that we could ignore a failing "this is touching files outside of _conferences" check.

Motivated by #808.

The website is not getting updated

Codemotion Madrid and Milano are not visible on the website even if PR was accepted.

RSS or Atom feed

Can you guys do that?
