International Candy Swap: Flock 2018 edition
by Justin W. Flory 03 Aug '18

03 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
