Thanks to everyone who attended this afternoon's workshop, we have some really good notes about how to get started on a road to better software for next Flock.

The wiki page needs a bit of cleanup (just simple formatting) but it suffices for now if you missed the session and are interested in helping. I'll schedule a followup 2 weeks out on IRC so we can work out additional next steps. Any updates are welcome in the meantime to this list!
We used Drupal COD for fudcon.in and I can testify that it is a pain to set up and maintain. What's worse is upgrading it and that's important since we'd want to build a system that we maintain for some years.
It would really be great if this was thought about and eventually hosted as a generic event management system for FUDCon and Flock than just "software for Flock". The difference between Flock and FUDCon seems mostly to be scale and focus and neither of those factors have anything to do with the event management software. If it is just the matter of getting input from current and past FUDCon organizers then I'm sure we can solve that.
