Questions about 2017 bids
by Máirín Duffy 15 Sep '16

Hi, I'm working with a group of people to put together a bid for hosting Flock 2017, but we have a few questions: * What's the due date for bids? * Are there restrictions on the days of the week the event can be on? (We had an idea that if it's in a vacation area, flock could be during the week to save on pricing, and attendees could stay and bring family for a long weekend after. We got objections last time when the Cape Cod proposal would potentially cover a long weekend; so allowing for adjacent weekends to be used for personal vacation might help.) * Are the restrictions on specific dates / months it has to be on? E.g., if there's significant cost savings in Sept, can that be considered? * What kind of cost range should we be looking for the facility + lodging to fall under? We realize a certain amount of the funding needs to be reserved for travel costs, but do not have an understanding of the ratio of facility:lodging:travel:food. Help us understand ballpark where we should be trying to get bids to? Data from past Flocks would be really helpful here. Thanks! ~m

I fixed the list settings to no longer munge reply-to. I think whatever setting was there was probably a default, but if anyone has an issue with the new setting, don't be afraid to say so. -- Paul W.
