Republic. Talk proposals and registration are both now
open<https://flock-lmacken.rhcloud.com/>.

Flock was held last year for the first time in Charleston, SC, as a
combined event replacing the former North America and Europe FUDCons.
Unlike those barcamp-style events, Flock is a planned conference with talk
submissions voted on by the Fedora community. It will alternate between
North America and Europe each year.
Please be sure to indicate when you register whether you need flight or
hotel funding to attend. Priority for funding will be given to Fedora
contributors who are presenting.

topics include but are in no way limited to:
* ARM
* Cloud
* Community
* Design
* Desktop
* Fedora Ambassadors
* Fonts
