Next steps for Flock
The call for submissions for Flock talks/workshops/hackfests/sprints is
ending tonight at midnight Eastern time. I figured I'd highlight the
next steps:
* The web app will stop taking new submissions at the deadline.
* We will export the anonymized submissions out of the web app and
import them into the Elections (Voting) app.
* We will open the election for a week (7 days), announce it widely, let
everyone who has a FAS account with FPCA (CLA) signed to vote on each
proposal. Range voting of 0-10 for each talk.
* People who have pre-registered for Flock will get a direct email
asking them to vote. (Registration will remain open).
* When voting closes, the scheduling committee will meet to make the
final schedule (and do it as fast as we can).
* We will then publish the schedule and notify the speakers of their
acceptance. Any speakers who need financial subsidy will have it handled
at this point.
* All other subsidies will be handled after the speakers are taken care
of, money permitting.
* We will continue to attempt to lock in Sponsors.
* We will start having weekly public IRC planning meetings at 14:00 UTC
(10 AM Eastern Time) on Wednesday to cover these (and the other details).
