Flock dates 2014

[Marina Zhurakhinskaya]

Hi,

It would be great if Flock was compatible with GUADEC for travel from the US, and
Saturday, August 2 to Tuesday, August 5 would be ideal for that. GUADEC usually has
several days of talks followed by several days of birds of feather sessions and hackfests.
The Red Hat team meeting usually takes place during these final days, not afterwards. With
GUADEC scheduled Saturday, July 26 to Friday, August 1, it would not be a big deal for
people interested in attending Flock to travel in the afternoon of August 1. On the other
hand, capturing both weekend days would be helpful to Flock in attracting hobbyist
attendees.

I looked into travel options for Strasbourg to Prague to make sure this trip can be
accomplished on Friday afternoon. Both itineraries I found are significantly cheaper if
booked as round-trips. There is one direct flight for $276. As far as non-direct options
available, in seems best to take a bus to Frankfurt operated by Lufthansa and a flight
from there to Prague for $240. The bus can be booked as part of the flight itinerary or on
its own. The information about the bus is at

.

Thanks,
Marina

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.

Hi Marina,
if there is a couple of days between GUADEC and Flock and you don't want
to spend it travelling around Europe you and other redhatters are always
welcome to Brno office. The Flock venue is just a two-hour drive from
Brno office.
That's for example what we do between FOSDEM and DevConf.cz. A lot of
people from overseas go to FOSDEM at one weekend, then travel to Brno
office for a week of internal meetings etc. and stay for the DevConf.cz
at the second weekend.
