Book mentioned in my talk
by Major Hayden
Hey folks,
A few people came up yesterday to ask about the book I mentioned during my talk. My Texas accent can be a little difficult to understand at times. ;)
Title: Winning With People
Author: John Maxwell
Link: http://bit.ly/1MrVZ1g
It's very handy for understanding yourself a bit better and how that understanding can improve your interactions with other people.

Our rooms have changed today. We are no longer using the rooms 1, 2, and 3 that were connected by the larger room. The rooms that were 4, 5, and 6 are now 1, 2, and 3, and 4 is just past them. They all have signs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you registered late or on-site and did not get a bag and a t-shirt, please come by the registration desk today to get them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no coffee break or lunch today--you're on your own. There are quite a few restaurants within walking distance, so join some friends and pick anything!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tonight's event begins at 7 at the George Eastman House, originally the estate of George Eastman, founder of Eastman Kodak, with 10.5 acres of working farm and gardens and a 35,000 square-foot Colonial Revival mansion.
Now it is one of the world's oldest film archives and museums
dedicated to photography. Its collections include many of Ansel Adams'
early works and one of the largest collections of daguerreotypes in the
world. The gift shop will be open during our event as well.
Come hungry for pasta and chocolate fountain!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tomorrow you will again be on your own for lunch as well as dinner. We have no organized evening event. If you're looking for ideas of things to do, come by the Visit Rochester table across from the registration desk. There's a bike race and some other events happening, including:
- Rochester Red Wings Baseball, the new Triple-A
affiliate of the Minnesota Twins, will be playing vs Scranton/WB
RailRiders. If many of you are interested, feel free to self-organize
(hello, wiki!) to get a group ticket discount.
- Rochester Rhinos Soccer,
the local professional soccer team, will be playing the Charlotte
Independence. It's Rex the Rhino mascot's birthday, which will feature
20 mascots from area sports teams, and the Rochester Public Library will
be giving away free books to everyone who attends. Again, group
discounts are available--get together a group and call 454-KICK (x113)
to order them.
- For those who like to bike and/or drink... preferably both... Rochester Pedal Tours is pedalling and drinking! And seeing the city.

The docs hackfest today is not what you think it is ...
by Brian Exelbierd
Are you a person? We need you at our hackfest. We would like help from
designers, testers, users, and developers. The Docs Team is going to be
working on a new publication toolchain on Friday at 5pm.
Our toolchain is designed to create an opportunity for new styles of
contributions to the documentation. We have sketched out an
architecture of git repositories, building/testing/deployment, and
design needs. We are open to modifications, but are thinking of this
structure (subject to debate/edit):
Team Ideas
* Git/Editing Team
* Probably using Pagure, so this may mostly be confirming
functionality/config
* git repos are organized as master (rawhide) and branches for each
release
* Goals:
* Git repos that have a web editor and interface option
* Writers can fork a repo, then they write
* Writers need to be able to build their version of the repo for
preview (this should be able to be done via the same auto-publishing
process)
* Writers can send a PR to get their patch/change in
* Changes are accepted by a more restricted group of contributors
* Build/Testing Team
* We have some code using buildbot that needs to be "helped" and
implemented
* Today, testing is not well defined, but may be something like
emender (think modular)
* Probable publishing workflow
1. Based on commit changes, rebuild the changed repo content to html
2. Generate metadata to be used for the top-level menu/site generation
3. Re-generate the top-level menu/site from the new source and
existing unchanged sources
* Goals:
* Branches for each release are automatically built, tested and
published based on a commit action
* When content is committed to a release branch, it needs to
automatically publish and push to Zanata for translation
* Modular building of multiple markup formats need to be supported
for building (docbook first)
* Builds need to generate metadata for the overall site
* Eventually we need to support builds of user forks for
preview/testing
* Translation Ideas
* push new strings to Zanata on commits
* allow for publishing of translations automatically
* Visual design and meta site builder Team
* Design and Navigation and Concept help
* CSS skinning for the entire site and all outputted html
* build a menu/overview site to guide users to docs - input is the
metadata files from each document/repo
- Content validation ideas and solutions
- Updating infra ansible.git to deploy buildbot on docs devices
(and also still deploy buildbot for taskotron!)
- CSS hacking
- Build $MARKUP using common theme ^^CSS
- Extracting metadata from ReStructuredText files
- Assemble metadata from json, build menu (js?)
* needs to be able to be rebuilt easily - static site generation?
Thank you and regards,
Jared, Pete and Brian

Parking at the Strong
by Ruth Suehle
One last note--the Strong Museum is within walking distance, but if you do
drive, tell the parking attendant you are with the Fedora event, and
parking will be free.
Apologies for the extra email!

I hope you had a good second day of Flock! A few notes for you all--
Tonight's event at the Strong Museum will be from 7-11 p.m. We will give
everyone 10 game tokens, and you're welcome to purchase more on your own.
For anyone who registered on-site and did not receive a bag/t-shirt, please
feel free to come by registration tomorrow (Friday) to get them.
Remember, you're on your own for lunch and coffee tomorrow. Tomorrow's
evening event will be at the Eastman House, and there will be food there.
And finally, here's the day 2 survey for the sessions you attended today:

Flock talks survey, day 1
by Ruth Suehle
As you're wrapping up your day, we'd appreciate it if you took a moment to
tell us about the talks you went to today and how they went. This will help
us next year when it's time to select topics and speakers again.
The survey is here:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1vqMJFaCw0ilqhbNdSMyuxxzWJE6dMSARtvDVFzwk...
There will be another survey after the conference is over about general
feelings about the event, but if you have any concerns before then, feel
free to come by the staff room (behind the registration desk), and we'll
help you out.
Have a great time at dinner tonight, and we'll see you back in the space
where we had lunch for board games and drinks!

Re: WebRTC from Flock to DebConf - any volunteers?
by Tom Callaway
Our bandwidth here is... poor. We've had to give up any attempt at streaming sessions.
