IMPORTANT: Data needed for registration/CFP app
by Paul W. Frields
Hi team, I was talking to puiterwijk about the registration/CFP app
and we noted a couple pieces of data we need basically right now:
* Initial names for tracks/categories for paper submission. We may
not want to make final decisions about tracks until after there is a
complete set of submissions. Do we want to have a set of defaults,
like Technical, Team Status/Planning, and Outreach? (suggestions
welcome)
* What data do we need to capture for each registrant? Here's what we
captured for each person (identified by email address, which you can
consider a unique ID):
Full Name
Location
Invitation letter needed? y/n
Flight funding requested? y/n
Hotel funding requested? y/n
Vegetarian/Vegan
Volunteer? y/n
Bringing family? y/n
T-shirt size
Looking for roomshare? y/n
Hotel booked? y/n
Blog URL
Twitter handle
Comments
Extra badge line
* Who wants to be on list of administrators (basically absolute power)
for the app? Patrick and I have volunteered. I'd like 1-2 more
people who can twiddle things to avoid blocking on either of us.
Also, please note that the current template styling for the app is
quite bare. I'm going to seek help from the Design and Websites team
to help make better Handlebars templates. The templating system is
quite simple to learn and you can see the affected files here in the
source:
<https://github.com/puiterwijk/regcfp/tree/master/views>
(except for partials/ and desk/ which is being reworked)
The styling won't prevent early deployment or use, and we can make
things prettier as we go.
We already have a much more attractive website available, as some of
you've seen earlier, where we can publish the standard logistics info
once it's available.

Web content
by Paul W. Frields
New web content will be available at the flocktofedora.org site within
the next hour.
For now, we've included a "COMING SOON" banner on the front page, and
some filler pages for sponsorships and schedule. There is old content
for Rochester in the About and Location pages currently.
Once there's final word on a venue, we can start populating the page
content with updated information. Builds are refreshed hourly, so
changes can be made easily in iterations.
Thanks to Robert Mayr, Ricky Elrod, and Patrick Uiterwijk for help
setting this up!

Should we move the Flock date window?
by Josh Boyer
Hi All,
In the Council meeting this week, we noted that Flock lands in late
August/early September and this is high tourist season in Europe. It
is also a time when many take vacation. This drives prices up across
many of the regions.
We wondered aloud if we could shift Flock to dates outside of this
window. The two most likely alternatives would be sometime in July or
sometime in November. We also noted that we should try and avoid
conflicting with any other major open source conference, and that July
and November seem to fit within that small goal. There are pros and
cons with each date window, but we wanted to see how feasible people
thought this would be.
Thoughts?
