Hi, in the last few days, several FAmSCo members have raised their concerns about how the planning of Flock is handled.
Christoph Wickert complained in the fudcon-planning mailing list that he as a FAmSCo member didn't know that Flock was going to replace FUDCon EMEA. Although I knew some little info about the conference from personal conversations and we touched this at our regular meetings, he's correct that FAmSCo has never been officially informed about the new conference.
Other FAmSCo members pointed out that FAmSCo had some role in the Flock planning according discussions in this mailing list (one position in the schedule committee etc). Yet again, we haven't been approached and informed by anyone from the organizer's team.
We want to help Flock's organizers make Flock as successful as possible, but we're asking for better transparency and communication with FAmSCo and we'd like to know what is going to be FAmSCo's role in the planning.

We know we haven't done the best job we could at being transparent. Here are some of the things that we're working on to try to improve that:
* Setup a weekly IRC meeting to discuss progress and status I propose 1400 - 1500 UTC on Wednesdays (10 AM Eastern, 4 PM Brno) in #fedora-meeting-1
* Form a schedule committee with members from each of the main steering committees (Board, FESCo, FAMSco) in addition to the current Flock committee (Robyn, Ruth, me).
* Open registration and call for papers already! (this should happen RSN)
Open to other suggestions on what we can do better!

The meeting sounds like a good idea. Unfortunately, I already have a GUADEC planning meeting at that time on Wed. But it doesn't have to be me who represents FAmSCo there. I can find someone else in FAmSCo.
