/me is watching this thread intently, as I'm sure that anything that
goes wrong with FLOCK this will certainly (and rightfully) be all my
fault ;)

Srsly though, I'm *so* excited for FLOCKchester, but since I'm still
'drinking from the firehose' as a new hire, I've been avoiding asking
for more details on this, and waiting for it to naturally crop up in
my inbox (hence today's reply.)

If we're lucky, the MAGIC center at RIT will also hire a
Remy-replacement before Flock that will help support "from the inside"
too (fingers crossed.)

Is there a standard planning/organizing timeline somewhere? A Regular
meeting schedule? This is my first time being more than just a FLOCK
attendee, so please bear with me if these are obvious questions. Once
I've got a timeline and calendar, I can start coordinating a "ground
crew" here in the ROC to help. I've already been making FLOCKchester
save-the-date annoucements at meetups and hackathons in and out of
town.

Thanks!
