IMPORTANT: Data needed for registration/CFP app
by Paul W. Frields 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

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. -- Paul W.

Web content

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! -- Paul W.

Should we move the Flock date window?
by Josh Boyer 12 Jan '16

12 Jan '16

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? josh
