Hi All,
= Funding Update - Non Presenters =
The council changed the funding model for this year's Flock and
presenting a session is not required to get funded. We were serious
about this :). If you haven't already done so, get yourself registered
and put in any funding request you have by Friday. We will begin making
funding decisions as early as tomorrow. The sooner you get into the
list the greater your chances.
= CfP Update =
Tomorrow morning, EU time, acceptances for the first 55 accepted
submissions will go out. There are several submissions in the queue
that need a little more resolution so I can't send those yet.
Rejections will not go out for a bit longer as we wait to determine if
we can get anyone off the wait list.
= Visa Letter Update =
If you asked for a visa letter you will soon receive a request for
additional information. Included in that request will be the
requirement for you to provide the full address of the US Embassy you
will be using along with all of your passport details. Go ahead and get
those things together to make this faster.
= Funding Update - Presenters =
The council changed the funding model for this year's Flock and
presenting a session is not required to get funded. This means that not
all presenters will necessarily be funded. Because all of you have
already registered you will be in the first round we consider (along
with any other requesters) when we begin making funding decisions as
early as tomorrow.
Thank you for your patience,
regards,
bex
PS: My value for tomorrow and your value for tomorrow may differ. For
some this means nothing will be different, for others you'll think we
did it a day early.
