International Candy Swap: Flock 2018 edition
by Justin W. Flory 04 Aug '18

04 Aug '18

Hi Flock 2018 attendees! For the third year, I'd like to announce the International Candy Swap at Flock 2018; if you are interested in participating, please email me (jwf(a)fedoraproject.org) with your name, your FAS account, what country you will bring candies from, and any food allergies you have. For the past two Flocks, we have a tradition of bringing and exchanging candies from around the world with other Fedora community members. Learn something about your fellow community members and indulge in some yummy sweets at the same time! One evening of the conference, we will gather for about an hour, while everyone lays out what they brought and explain what we brought before trying them. In the past, we've had German chocolates, American salt water taffy, French fruit candies, Czech/European coconut Fidorkas, homemade Indian sweets, Swedish sour candies, and Australian chocolate koala bears. I can't wait to see what we will gather this year! A list of participants and countries will be maintained here, leading up to Flock: https://infinote.fedoraproject.org/cgit/infinote/tree/candy-swaps/flock-201… If you want to participate, start looking for any unique candies you can pack with you on your journey now. :-) Please email me at jwf(a)fedoraproject.org with your name, FAS username, what country you will bring sweets from, and any food allergies. Looking forward to seeing you in Dresden! -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

I’ve heard from someone off list and they are also interested. My intention is to buy a yoga mat locally at TK Maxx where it will be cheap.

If you're interested, let me know. regards, bex -- Brian (bex) Exelbierd | bexelbie(a)redhat.com | bex(a)pobox.com Fedora Community Action & Impact Coordinator @bexelbie | http://www.winglemeyer.org

Thanks > Hi Lenka, I think the pre-Flock speaker feedback session is a great idea, but I don't anticipate having the time before Flock to help lead and work on this effort. To help with visibility, I suggest sharing participation details on this mailing list and in the #fedora-flock IRC channel on irc.freenode.net. Additionally, I suggest writing a short call for participation on the Fedora Community Blog as a great way to boost visibility for the speaker sessions (and also find more people willing to volunteer and help with this too). https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/writing-community-blog-article/ Hope this is useful! -- Cheers, Justin W.

Flock Update - ~1 month away
by Brian (bex) Exelbierd 11 Jul '18

11 Jul '18

An Update on Flock * New Sponsor Some of you may have noticed that the ARM Foundation is now a Gold Sponsor for Flock. * Tickets and T-shirts My tardiness at getting t-shirts ordered is to your BENEFIT. The tickets that have t-shirts associated with them have been extended until tomorrow, 12 July. Get your order in now if you want to be assured of getting a T-shirt. Tickets that don't guarantee a t-shirt or lunch, will be available until 8 August. * Transportation Details Transportation Information has been added to the website as provided by Amit Shah. Thank you! * Hotel rooms Hotel rooms are still available. If you need help finding a roommate, email the list and let me know. * Funding All Flock funding is now issued/allocated. The last plane tickets are being worked on. Everyone who is funded should know by now and should have all of their details confirmed or in progress. This year we have funded almost 40 people fully or partially. This has resulted in, amongst other things over 25 flights and 20 hotel rooms needing to be managed on top of other conference organizational needs. * Schedule and CfP The draft schedule is being worked and the CfP round 2 answers should be out soon. * Questions Direct them to the list or me. See you at Flock! regards, bex -- Brian (bex) Exelbierd | bexelbie(a)redhat.com | bex(a)pobox.com Fedora Community Action & Impact Coordinator @bexelbie | http://www.winglemeyer.org
