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

Depending on what the policies are for the venue, we might be able to get you set up in one of the smaller meeting rooms where we already will have projectors and the like.

How was Dresden picked?
by Miro Hrončok 21 May '18

21 May '18

Hi, I've just seen the announcement that Flock will happen in Dresden [1]. I was just curious where and how was this decided? Last thing I was able to follow was three proposals [2], long silence and then Dresden. From my point of view, it just occurred out of the blue. Is there some other mailing list where those decisions are made? Or is it a private discussion? Don't get me wrong, I don't *object* the decision, in fact Dresden works for me better than all the 3 proposals; I'd just like to know how this works, so I can understand it better. Chances are, I was just lost during the process. Thanks, [1] https://fedoramagazine.org/flock-2018-venue-announcement/ [2] https://pagure.io/flock/issues -- Miro Hrončok -- Phone: +420777974800 IRC: mhroncok
