Last year we were talking (offline) about an idea of organizing
Fedora Localization FAD. So far nothing more has been decided.
There was an idea to organize it during or near another big
conference so we could save money on travel & accommodation,
especially for the people from outside Europe (Noriko, Pravin,
I'm thinking about you). As Flock date and venue has been
announced, do you think we can organize L10n FAD together with Flock?
My thoughts:
- I suggest to organize FAD immediately after or immediately
before Flock but not during Flock. If you organize it during
Flock then people will be unable to attend both events.
- Much depends on how long the event will be. If it is one day
or less then it does not make sense to move anywhere from
Dresden, due to the travel cost.
- Translation sprint has been already scheduled to start on
August 15, that is 4 days after Flock. It would be nice to
merge it with L10n FAD and make it non-virtual event. However,
I think we don't want the FAD to be that long: 4 days as a gap
between those events + few more days to include the sprint at
least partially.
- Poland was mentioned as a suggested location. If this is your
preferred destination then I can help organizing. Usually it
is possible to find accommodation 3-5 times cheaper than in Dresden.
However, if you have another decision it can be any country
in a reasonable distance (Czech Republic is worth considering).
- Note that August 15 is a public holiday in Poland.
- It is likely that I will be unable to attend the FAD (which
I regret) but still I can help organizing.
