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).

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@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.

I went ahead and populated our staging instance with all of the current proposals for testing:

Let me know if you need a CSV of email addresses from the registration db for this.

Hey!
Got a question. Once the votes are over and the schedule is arranged; does the system will make the calendar or want me to work on a plugin/form so everything is on the website?

My plan was to work with a spreadsheet for now, and then ask you and Ruth how we can make it appear pretty on the website. :)

What is the inventory of presentation slots? I.e., how many presentations are you planning to accept?

I'm working to figure out that answer right now. :)

Hello.
Best way would probably be, once we know how many talks we have (talks/workshops, etc) assign X rooms to each topic. Ex, if there are more workshop submissions, then 4 rooms for it (that would be about 12/16 sessions), 2 for talks and 2 for sprints/others.
However, would be a good idea to create a calendar (either spreadsheet or anything) just to make sure that rooms fit what has been submitted.
See ya.
