WebRTC from Flock to DebConf - any volunteers?
by Daniel Pocock 12 Aug '15

12 Aug '15

The final day of Flock in Rochester, USA is also the first day of DebConf in Heidelberg, Germany. DebConf will have a talk[1] about Real-time Communication (RTC) technologies, including WebRTC, at 17:00 Central European Summer Time, which is 11:00 Eastern US. Both events are expecting big bandwidth-hungry crowds, but if there is enough bandwidth, it would be really interesting to make a live WebRTC session between fedrtc.org and rtc.debian.org as part of my talk. If the session doesn't work at that time, we could also try something later in the day, possibly giving Flock attendees an opportunity to remotely gatecrash the Debian birthday[2] Is there anybody who would like to collaborate with me on this? If you are not sure and you just want to test it, you should be able to just login at https://fedrtc.org and call somebody else who is logged in at the same time. As described in my blog[3], it uses OpenID with FAS to help you create a special password just for SIP, WebRTC and soon XMPP. You can try reaching me (pocock) on IRC if you can't find anybody else to test with. Of particular importance, the technology itself is fully federated and the software is all packaged. The fedrtc.org domain is running on a CentOS 7 + EPEL7 box while the rtc.debian.org site is running on a Debian wheezy system. 1. https://summit.debconf.org/debconf15/meeting/317/free-communications-with-f… 2. https://summit.debconf.org/debconf15/meeting/320/debian-birthday-party/ 3. http://danielpocock.com/free-and-open-webrtc-for-the-fedora-community

Kubernetes demo
by Aditya Patawari 12 Aug '15

12 Aug '15

Hi Guys, The kubernetes demo which I was going to do for the Project Atomic talk seems to malfunction due to a cpu spike when it is connected to the projector. I am going to do just the demo part again tomorrow during the lightening talks which is scheduled to happen at 4:30 pm (provided, I get a slot for the lightening talk). Please drop by if you would like to check out the demo. -- Aditya Patawari https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Adimania India

Flock, are you up for an epic geek throwdown?
by Ruth Suehle 12 Aug '15

12 Aug '15

Do you think you have the broadest geek knowledge at Flock? Can you answer questions about Steam, Star Trek, comics, AND Linux? (And a whole lot more?) If you think you've got the trivia knowledge, come by the registration desk or email me (off-list) to volunteer as tribute--er, I mean to play. This trivia smackdown will take place tonight during game night at 9 p.m. Ruth

Found a world travel adapter I have no use for
by Miro Hrončok 12 Aug '15

12 Aug '15

Hi, I found a world travel adapter for power socket. You can insert it into European, British, North American and Australian/Chinese types of socket. You can insert British, North American and Australian/Chinese types of plugs into it. You cannot insert European plug into it, so it has no use for me. Anyone who would have use for it, I can give it to you on Flock. -- Miro Hrončok -- Phone: +420777974800 IRC: mhroncok

Schedule export has hours messed up
by Marcin Juszkiewicz 12 Aug '15

12 Aug '15

Hi As usual I wanted to import conference schedule into Google Calendar. Flock uses sched.org which allows to do that. So far all is good. But when events are imported then all are shifted by 3 hours. Check http://flock2015.sched.org/all.ics - 'The state of Fedora' talk starts at 16:00 GMT which is 12:00 local. I will fetch personal ics, change what is needed and import but then lose synchronization with online one.

Flock arrival and Wednesday info (wifi password in here!)
by Ruth Suehle 11 Aug '15

11 Aug '15

SHUTTLE --------- For those of you still arriving, remember the Hyatt has a shuttle. Airport pick-up may be provided upon request and is based upon availability between the hours of 6am -11pm. When you arrive to Rochester, please call 585-546-1234 or use the courtesy telephones by the baggage claim area for pick-up. For departure shuttles, please contact the Front Desk when at the hotel for availability and to schedule a departure. REGISTRATION ------------ We'll open the registration desk at 8 a.m. on Thursday morning. If you don't get your badge before the keynote starts, don't worry--you can get it and your swag bag later. If you meet people who didn't register, feel free to send them by for a badge. (But alas, no t-shirt or swag. That's the bonus of registering!) WIFI ----- The most important information! Wifi for the conference will be “Hyatt Conference” and the password is flock15. SUBSIDIZED ROOMS ---------------- If your room is subsidized, you will not have to pay for it. It will be directly billed to us. However, you will need to present a credit card at check-in for incidentals. (This means in case you order room service or movies--Flock doesn't pay for any of that!) FOOD AND BREAKS ---------------- I always want to know about food, so you can always expect I'll keep you updated on it. We will have coffee breaks at 10:30 on Wednesday and Thursday with some light snacks, sponsored by ARM. Wednesday's lunch will be a spinach salad with strawberries and pecans, herb-crusted chicken with risotto and asparagus, and a dessert. They are also aware of our vegetarians and vegans and should have an option for you. (I'm checking on what that is, so I should know by the time you get here in the morning.) At 3:15, we'll have a cupcake break sponsored by Rackspace. (I know you all like cupcakes!) If our lunches and evening events leave you still hungry, there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. GAME TIME! ------------ Our game night will be Wednesday night from 9-11 p.m. in the Main Street Gallery where we have lunch. We'll have drink tickets for a couple of drinks, and you're welcome to continue paying the cash bar after that as long as you like. Well, until 11.

Flock to group chat in Telegram
by Jiri Eischmann 10 Aug '15

10 Aug '15

Hi, I've created a group chat for Flock attendees who are using Telegram to communicate and share info: http://bit.ly/flock15tg We've used it during GUADEC and it turned out to be very popular and useful. Historically, IRC channels are used for this, but considering how many people are using smartphones and that at conferences you often get connected/disconnected, IRC's not ideal. If we have an official IRC channel, there should be a way to sync the channel with the group chat via a Telegram bot, but I haven't had time to look at it. But if someone wants to explore this idea, I'll be happy to add the bot to the chat. Jiri
