FUDBus from/to Westford?
by Paul W. Frields 20 May '15

20 May '15

For FUDCon 2009 Toronto, we contracted a bus to shuttle people from the Westford, MA Red Hat office to the event, and back. The cost ended up more reasonable than flying so many people to Toronto. It also wasn't a terribly longer process once you factor in airports and other mass transit. This year Flock is an even shorter distance away (6 hours vs. 8-9). So a bus might again be reasonable, if the number of people attending warrants it. There are also different size buses. I think we had a large 50+ seater, but I believe there are smaller and cheaper ones available. Is there any idea yet how many people from Westford are attending Flock 2015? -- Paul W.

We produced Fedora badge stickers for FOSDEM and DevConf.cz 2015 and they were quite popular among, so I support this idea. Stickers of Flock attendee badge are a must :) Jiri _______________________________________________ flock-planning mailing list flock-planning(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/flock-planning

badge sticker sheets for flock?
by Máirín Duffy 24 Apr '15

Hi! threebean suggested it might be cool to have badge sticker sheets as a giveaway item at flock. Now I'm not talking anything super fancy like custom sheets that are customized to each individual attendee's earned badges - that would be super sweet but I don't know of any vendors that can do that right now. (If you do, let me know :) ) I'm thinking maybe a basic static set of badges, maybe the ones that the most % of Fedorans have so it's more likely folks will get badge stickers for badges they actually have. I believe we could do 24 1" Fedora bubble shaped badge stickers on a 5"x7" sheet, for between $0.54-$0.82 / sheet (depending on quantity. eg $205 for 250 sheets; ~$300 for 500 sheets, $400 for 750. Shipping not included.) Is this something there is interest in doing for Flock? If there is budget to do this I am happy to take care of the artwork. The vendor I priced things out with is stickergiant.com (have had good experiences with them in the past!) ~m

T-Shirt for Flock
by Paul W. Frields 21 Apr '15

21 Apr '15

I asked this morning and the Fedora Design team will happily do a custom design for a Flock T-shirt. They typically don't do them for the more frequent FUDCons, unless a volunteer is willing to pick up the task. If we want a shirt for Flock, I can create a ticket for it. Shall I? -- Paul W.

Bandwidth planning for video
by Paul W. Frields 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

I spoke with Tom and Ruth earlier about planning Flock bandwidth with the hotel. The Hangouts On Air requirements are not too strict,probably because of the encoder used locally: https://support.google.com/hangouts/answer/1216376 This shows ~2.6 Mbps uplink bandwidth required per stream (room). We would want to caution people in the room from getting on the live stream while we're uplinking. (It wouldn't make sense anyway, but people do weird things in the name of "testing.") If we have six rooms, that means ~16 Mbps upstream bandwidth required. Can the Hyatt provide? * * * Standard YouTube requirements, by the way, are more stringent, but I think this is designed for professionals or others not using the Hangouts feature: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2853702?hl=en -- Paul W.

website change -- make "register" link more prominent
by Matthew Miller 14 Apr '15

14 Apr '15

I think many people are reading "register and submit a talk proposal now!" as something for speakers only. Can we split that out into: "[Register now!] Also, if you have something to share, [submit a talk]." (Both can go to the current link, or directly to those sub-pages.) I know it's a pain to update the site, but maybe we could also replace the blue "Rochester" section at the bottom of the page with a "Register" section? Leave the ♥, change Rochester to "Register", leave the current text, add "Register now!", and change the link? -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader
