Re: Flock dates 2014

[Ruth Suehle]

We did try to do this--actually the other bid was to do it in Strasbourg
after GUADEC, but the university wasn't able to accommodate us, and we
didn't find an alternate space. We're trying to accommodate everyone's date
preferences, which obviously is impossible. The current hitch is available
days at the university. We should know for certain very soon, but it should
be within that week after GUADEC.
