International Candy Swap: Flock 2018 edition
by Justin W. Flory
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-2...
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!

I am interested if I can get up early enough. 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.

Help Needed: Lightning Talks
by Brian (bex) Exelbierd
We need some help from someone to run the lightning talk session. The work
required is to introduce each speaker and keep time.
Additional help is appreciated in managing the sign up process.
If you're interested, let me know.

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).

Hope this is useful!

Flock Update - ~1 month away
by Brian (bex) Exelbierd
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

by Bhagyashree Uday
Sending this to flock-planning as this didn't go earlier
---------- Forwarded message ---------
From: Bhagyashree Uday <bhagyashree.iitg(a)gmail.com>

Subject: Google Summer of Code and Outreachy - Project Showcase at FLOCK

Hello everyone,
Jonatoni and I have submitted a FLOCK session proposal to have a GSOC
project showcase for current round of GSOC (past projects, especially from
Outreachy, are welcome too). This email is to gather feedback about
interest and proposal.
More details here:
https://pagure.io/flock/issue/94
If you are/have been involved with GSoC or Outreachy in the past (as a
mentor or student) and plan to attend FLOCK, we would appreciate it if you
take some time( about 3-5 mins) to talk about your or your students'
project and if possible, show a demo of the work. Please reply on the
mailing list and/or comment on pagure issue if you would like to showcase
your project.
If you are/have been a GSoC or Outreachy mentor, we would also like to
know more about your experience, guidance and tips for future mentors (like
defining project proposal, your insights during application period and on
selecting students, regarding internship period deliverables and timeline
or evaluations) so thay they can learn from it.
Looking forward to hearing back from you
Best,
Bee
