pm. If you are interested in participating, please email me your key's
fingerprint as soon as possible. I would like to have them before Tuesday

USB keyboard and/or Keyboard showoff?
by Till Maas
Hi,
for the Python Coding Dojo I will setup a laptop where everyone should
be able to code in Python. I realized that it might be odd for people to
use the German keyboard on my notebook since the key layout is
different (I mean the physical keys, not the mapping to characters).
Does someone maybe bring a "normal" US USB keyboard that I could
borough for the workshop?
Also I will be bringing my Typematrix[0] keyboard for efficient coding at
the workshops. If you have an extraordinary keyboard, maybe it would be
nice to show it at Flock as well?
Kind regards
Till

Bring you favourite book to the FLOSS book club on Thursday
by Till Maas
Hi,
if you like reading and own an awesome book, bring it to Flock and
present it at the Fedora (FLOSS) book club.
https://flock2017.sched.com/event/BmW1/fedora-floss-book-club
| In this session all participants should bring a copy of a book that they
| really like and consider to be useful for FLOSS/Fedora contributors. It
| could be anything from technical references, books about personal
| growth, project management, community building or inspirational
| autobiographies. At the beginning everyone should present their book and
| tell why they think it is great. Afterwards there is time to talk about
| the books and take a look into the copies that others brought. By
| sharing their experience and recommendations for good books, Fedora
| contributors can learn how to improve and share their ideas about
| improving their contributions on both a social and technical level.
If you already decided on a book, please send me the name.
Kind regards

Short video interviews at Flock -- interested?
by Matthew Miller
We're going to have an event photographer covering Flock this year --
not to discourage the many photography enthusiasts we have, but this
will allow everyone to really focus on being part of the conference
rather than feeling like they *have* to document it. As part of the
package, there's going to be a 4-5 minute video. This will serve as
promo material for the project as a whole, not just Flock.
If you're interested in talking a little bit about something you love
about Fedora as a project, something cool it enables you to do, etc.,
let me know (off list).

I omitted sessions where I didn't see a need for a recording or where we
might use alternative equipment which only a few people have experience.
There is a high probability of a proper camera coming to capture things
like the state of the union.
I'm happy to revisit this.

This is a good opportunity to either get your license, or to get an upgrade.
Please email ham-radio-exams(a)fedoraproject.org if you are interested in
