Sure, if you think about universities, but in Rochester we did Flock inside
the Hotel, and this was much appreciated by the attendees.

Questions about 2017 bids
by Máirín Duffy
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!

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.
