Flock 2017 Decision
by Brian Exelbierd 23 Jul '25

23 Jul '25

Flock 2017 will likely be held in Cape Cod, Maine, USA from 28 August - 1 September (pending contract). We received two great bids for Flock this year from two different groups of contributors for two very different places and times: o Evansville, Indiana bid led by Nick Bebout (nb) with the help of Lee Keitel (keitellf) and USI supporters Dr. Mohammed Khayum and Richard Toeniskoetter. o Cape Cod, Maine bid led by Máirín Duffy (duffy) and Solly Ross. Both bids were detailed and represented a ton of hard work on the part of their submitters. Both bids have fantastic pluses and some challenges, and in the end we selected the Cape Cod bid based on a number of factors. The formal announcement via the Fedora Magazine will be made once the contracts are finalized. On behalf of the Flock Committee, thanks to all of our bidders. Regards, Flock Committee

Booklet text & Schedule
by Ryan Lerch 17 Aug '17

17 Aug '17

Hi all, Just wondering if i could get a few items for the booklets (for reference, check the PDF of last years booklet [1] of how this was then): * updated Code of Conduct * Details of the evening events (location, time, any extra details) * the intro to flock * sponsor list + logos * keynote talks, dates and speaker details Additionally, IIRC, it was pretty much a consensus that haveing the schedule in the booklet was too much of a hassle, as talks were inevitablly going to change, but instead have the big wall schedule for each day[2], so we can move the talks around, and also have blank ones we can fill out for adhoc additions. Just wondering when the schedule will be finalised, so i can start doing the cards for the bigwall as there is nothing on the sched site as of right now[3]. cheers, ryanlerch [1] - https://pagure.io/flock-booklets/blob/master/f/2016/flock-booklet-individua… [2] - https://ryanlerch.fedorapeople.org/flockphotos/bigschedule.jpg [3] - https://flock2017.sched.com/

Past Flock wisdom
by Máirín Duffy 09 Aug '17

09 Aug '17

Hi everybody, I read through the set of blogs posted about last year's Flock to try to distill all the ideas / suggestions folks had written about for this year. (https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/list-of-flock-blogs-and-more/) --- Lots of notes on logistics and organization. Highlights: - Challenge of scheduling Fedora Engineeringteam talks as to not conflict - 10 sessions canceled; usually only 2-3. Need to figure out why / manage itto try to avoid so many. - Remove schedule from booklet, have wall schedule - Telegram vs. IRC confusion, too many places to monitor."I would advocate for coming up with an online discussion plan well in advance of the conference next year and sticking to it." - Wifi not sufficient to stream all sessions. Recorded sessions and post after (except for diversity panel which streamed.) Should make a policy on this probably. (Q: what if we streamed audio-only? Would this save bandwidth?) http://jwboyer.livejournal.com/53056.html --- Takeaway here is to make the transit options really clear. I'm thinking of making some maps of how to get the airport bus, having a photo fo the pickup point and also the drop off point in Hyannis. http://www.colliernotes.com/2016/08/fedora-flock-2016-day-1.html --- Nice pictures of some collateral, notes about the wallschedule and maybe we better not put a schedule in the booklet and instead do the wall schedule as a regular thing: http://www.ryanlerch.org/blog/flock-2016-krakow/ --- Panels should be more than an hour (not sure about this tho, that seems excessive to me) Moderation needs to be stricter in panels so it's not dominated by a few of the panelists https://whatamithinks.wordpress.com/2016/08/15/480/ --- Miscommunication situation to avoid with speakers: "I was a bit relaxed after that and didn’t worry much when there was no further contact by FLOCK organizers for hotel and travel bookings. But by early July, I was panicking a lot ! Turns out, I had registered for FLOCK using a different email id (non f.p.o one) and submitted the talk using my f.p.o email id and hence was dropped from the list of sponsored attendees. Anyway, thanks to FLOCK organizers and especially, Joe Brockmier it all worked out in the end since I was already in Berlin for my research work and didn’t need a new visa ! So come August 2, I was all set and ready to fly to FLOCK.." https://networksfordata.wordpress.com/2016/08/12/flock-diaries-krakow-2016/ --- - flock proxy setup - if we can do this again would be nice, should get the word out about it well in advance and have it in messaging including the booklet - rideshare page - will be good to have this setup for getting folks from Hyannis station to the hotel - volunteer organization - we can use volunteers for time reminders for speakers as well as IRC transcription and video recording https://www.scrye.com/wordpress/nirik/2013/08/06/flock-notes-of-interest/ Cheers, ~m

Game night is loosely organized and is really a bring your own game event. There will be some sponsored food. So yes, people can join as they wish. I wonder if it wouldn't be cool to do the Fedorator work in a corner of that room as it may draw interest. I for one would like to see it but not build one :) WDYT? regards, bex > > I'll also send a better description of my workshop to Kristyna, since the > current one includes notes for organizers. > > Sanqui
