Here is the proposal I'd like to put forth for determining the
Flock Schedule.
* We form a "conference committee" which includes: - Ruth, Robyn,
and Myself - One appointed member from each: - Fedora Board -
FESCo - FAMSco
* We open the call for talks (and for scheduled 2hr
hackfests/sprints/workshops), and collect titles and abstracts.
Everyone submits talks, as many as they're willing to give.
* When the call is closed, we take the titles and abstracts,
anonymized, and put them into the Fedora elections app. All CLA+1
contributors can vote a score of 0-10 for each proposed
talk/hackfest/sprint/workshop. We leave this open for an announced
window of time.
Given that this conference is intended not just for existing
contributors but also to encourage future contributors, I'd like to
suggest we allow CLA signers to vote, not just CLA+1.
* When voting is done, the conference committee will review the
results and determine the final approved talks. They will see the
un-anonymized submissions. They will also reach out to Sponsors who
donated at Gold or above and requested a guaranteed talk on the
schedule and confirm their choice. In the case of Red Hat, they are
guaranteed three slots, due to the large amount of money being
spent.
* The committee will reserve the "morning, before lunch" times for
45 minute talks, and "after lunch" times for 2
sprints/hackfests/workshops in each room, unless we don't have
enough good fits for the entire schedule, then we'll adjust as
necessary. We'll also have a slotted time for lightning talks (they
will not need to be submitted beforehand, we will collect them at
Flock).
* They will announce the finalized schedule (un-anonymized) and put
it on the Flock website.
