Giggity

Giggity is an open-source Android application for browsing schedules for conferences, festivals, and other events. It loads event data from xcal, Pentabarf, and frab XML files. These files provide structured schedules that Giggity presents in formats suited to planning and checking an event. The application is intended for people who need to navigate event programs from an Android device.

Giggity can display schedules as block schedules or plain timetables. On the day of an event, it also provides a now-and-next view for checking what is currently happening and what follows. Users can select talks they want to attend and receive reminders for them. The application warns about conflicts between selected talks and can hide topics that are not of interest, helping users focus on a more relevant part of a schedule.

The application is preseeded with events including FOSDEM, CCC, and FrOSCon. Its features support both advance visit planning and quick schedule checks during an event. As a Productivity application, Giggity focuses on organizing information and personal plans rather than producing the event schedules itself. It uses the supplied XML schedule data as the basis for its browsing and planning views.

Giggity is distributed for Android through MirrorNest, which mirrors the official build directly on its own storage. MirrorNest scans the mirrored build for malware before publishing it. This distribution setup gives Android users another place to obtain the official build while preserving its open-source licensing. The platform and category listing identify Giggity as an Android productivity tool for working with event schedules.
