Hey, one of my kids is graduating high school this weekend (and we've got
all sorts of family around.) If you want this in for next week and I happen
to not be responding on IRC, just send me an email with the info to my
toshio(a)fedoraproject.org account and I'll get it set up when I have a moment
away from them.
One informational item regarding the voting information below: I think we
tested whether it was possible to make the range 0-10 instead of
0-NUM_CANDIDATES and it wasn't possible with the current code...
Here's the information we'll need to enter:
Election Name: [Ex: Flock 2013 Talk Pre-screening]
Alias: [flock-2013]
Election Info: [Longer description of flock, what voting for these is.
Limitations of the current app mean that there's really no good
formatting in this section. It's going to be a single long
paragraph of text with links written out in full.]
URL: [URL for the election/flock as a whole].
Start Date: [Timestamp we'll start] -- we enter this in UTC.
End Date: [Timestamp we'll end -- we enter this in UTC]
Seats Elected: [Number of slots that we'll.
Embargoed? [Check yes until the election is over]
Allow Nominations? [No]
Until When? [blank]
Use FAS? [No - this is whether the candidates are FAS users;
in this case, they're talk proposals]
Allowed Groups: [cla_done according to what you wrote below]
Admin Groups: [can set this to elections unless you have a FAS group for
the selection committee]
Candidates:
lmacken has the format that will allow easy importing of the talks as
candidates. It's basically:
Talk_Name1!URL_to_talk1|Talk_Name2!URL_to_talk2|[...]
The URLs are optional.

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).
