HasGeek announces Meta Refresh and Rootconf 2015

HasGeek is a community of geeks that gets together several times a year to discuss technology relevant to product startups. HasGeek’s conferences are community driven via an open submission and selection process through Talkfunnel.

Product startups spanning the spectrum from Flipkart to Freecharge and SupportBee to Qubole are a recurring feature at HasGeek conferences, where they come to share candidly and compare notes on how their technology works.

Our next conference is Meta Refresh (April 16-17), on building stellar web-based interfaces, and this year’s edition takes a serious look at the mobile web, an area that remains significant despite the growth of native apps, whether for the initial acquisition of a user or a full transaction cycle. A sizeable portion of your existing user base could be accessing your website only through a handheld device. It is quite likely that future web users will never experience a site on a large screen. We’re looking at proposals from the community that address the evolution of mobile web design, content design for mobile websites, as well as best practices for mobile web UX.

Meta Refresh is followed by Rootconf (May 15-16), on DevOps, cloud infrastructure and operational reliability, from development to production. Operational excellence is primarily about learning from experience and tactical improvising, but achieving it isn’t easy. We’re trying to address issues pertaining to continuous integration, deployment, testing and delivery strategy as well as team dynamics, which come up in the process. To that end, we’re inviting proposals about infrastructure scaling and automation, CI/CD strategies, microservice patterns, code security, server vulnerabilities, logging and server monitoring, as well as LXC technologies, and Docker adoption strategies.

The funnels for Meta Refresh and Rootconf have full instructions on focus areas and the selection process.

In addition to the main conferences in Bangalore, Meta Refresh and Rootconf also have mini editions in cities across India. The current planned editions are in Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Kochi. Details on the Meta Refresh talkfunnel.
