Start working on your bids for Flock 2015!
by Ruth Suehle
Now that Flock 2014 has wrapped up, it's time to start talking about 2015.
We'll be back in North America, so if you'd like to host next year's event
in your city, it's time to start putting together a bid. To find out how,
read the wiki page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flock_bid_process
Keep in mind that committing to plan a conference is a lot of work and
shouldn't be approached lightly. It's a significant time commitment, and as
the local contact, you're critical to the success of the event.
Historically we have held Fedora events on college campuses simply for the
reason that this is often free space if we know a student or faculty member
there, but it is not a requirement that we be on a campus if we can find
other affordable space.
Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions or need help
getting your bid together.
Thanks!
Ruth

Video recording and streaming
by Miro Hrončok
Hi,
I've managed a fair deal about video (and audio) streaming and recording.
Here's the deal:
- we will have 4 cameras available from AVC*, for free
- one technician from AVC will supervisor *us* recording the talks and
workshops (for 150 CZK per hour, i.e. ~ 370 USD total)
- we will provide volunteers that would control the cameras during the
talks (aim it at the speaker)
- we need to provide one PC with at least i5 CPU and one USB3 port
(laptop is fine), they need to install their OS to do some magic - I
guess Red Hat Brno might provide this?
- the video will be instantly available on youtube
- if we don't want to volunteer, we can pay for 4 cameramen and do
nothing (~ 1480 USD), but I think that's not necessary.
If everyone is OK with that, I can set up a wiki page for volunteers, as
it was last year.
* AVC is the audiovisual center of the university

by Matthew Miller
I'm going to repeat the "you can just sshow up" note since we seem to be
getting that question a lot. Anything else I should say? Anything particular
to highlight? (Keynotes, maybe?)

WiFi credentials in big rooms
by Miro Hrončok
I have WiFi credentials for big rooms:
username: wififce
password: fEdorA14
I guess that username means SSID ;)
I'll do my best for having the same credentials in small rooms as well.
