Flock Scheduling questions
by Tom Callaway 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Hi folks, Last year, we had: 67 speakers (for talks and workshops). 3 keynotes (2 + FPL) 34 talks across two days (five simultaneous tracks) 24 workshops across two days (four tracks) In 2016, we have the same amount of days (4), but I wanted to open it for discussion for changes to the scheduling and layout. Do we want less tracks? Less talks? Less workshops per day? Do we still want the keynotes in the mornings? Traditionally, we've focused on bringing in external keynote speakers, but we had a lot of difficulty doing this the last time we were in Europe. (It is also unclear who is responsible for handling keynotes this year, as it was my job in previous years.) Also, it seems unclear to me when the CFP closes (it is open now). Paul, Matt, Remy, Jen, Joe, I'm looking at you to drive answers to these questions. We have at least one sponsor considering providing "speaker gifts", but we need to tell them how many speakers we expect to have. ~tom == Red Hat

Reminder: Flock submission deadline Apr 8
by Josh Boyer 11 Mar '16

11 Mar '16

Howdy, This is a friendly reminder that the Flock submission deadline is less than a month away, on April 8th 2016. If you have been thinking of submitting a talk or workshop, now would be a great time to get that sent in. The Council is particularly interested in talks that address any of the current Council Objectives: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Objectives as well as discussions around new Objectives people would like to see. Of course, innovation happens outside of Fedora itself and we'd love to hear about that as well. If you've been using Fedora as a foundation for other interesting Free and Open Source software and/or community work, consider submitting a talk or workshop around it. Remember, without your contributions we cannot have Flock. Let's work together to make it great. josh
