It is an open-platform platform not restricted to free software but
encompassing all that has to do with freedom though using copyleft
licenses . The CFP is open till 30th August 2015 . Missed that in the
initial mail, sorry.
So let's say you have an idea or a project which uses as well as
shares FOSS ideals, we would welcome it. The audience is usually 2nd
and third year engineering students from various colleges, but we are
also trying to broaden it to schools and various groups who could use
it as a platform to share the idea and broaden the idea of free
software.
A simple example would probably make it more understandable. For
instance, let's see if your project uses openstreetmap and especially
all and any of the layers and you are looking to either extract or add
more data to it or do any whiz-bang simulations out of it, you would
be the perfect person/partner for the project.
But be aware that it's not just the use but also that the end-result
of the work would be available under public archives under a copyleft
license. Then it is a perfect candidate for the mini-debconf.
Similarly, any project which uses free software extensively and the
end-result of that project would be available in public archives under
a copyleft license, we would welcome such projects.

Hope the above clarifies and am able to share the data connect.
