= Flock 2019 - 8-11 August - Budapest, Hungary
The annual Fedora contributors conference, Flock, will be in Budapest, Hungary from 8-11 August. Event details, including hotel and visa letters, are all on the website[1].
== Program/CfP
The call for submissions for talks and workshops is now open. For Flock 2019, we are accepting proposals as issues in the Flock repository[2]. We are doing this so you can solicit feedback on your proposal, look for collaborators, figure out who you need in the room, and who will be there. To submit, please open a public issue in this repository and **select the "Flock CfP" template**. Then follow these steps:
1. Fill out the issue answering the questions. 2. Leave the issue public. 3. Solicit and consider feedback. Don't assume people will just come to this repo - actively solicit feedback! If you want to make changes, just edit the initial comment. That is what the CfP committee will read. 4. Submissions will be considered in rounds. Submissions not selected in one round continue to the next one. Therefore you can keep on iterating :) 1. Round 1 selection starts on: 1 June 2019 2. Round 2 selection starts on: 15 June 2019 3. Final selection starts on: 1 July 2019
== Registration
Registration is open and completed via Eventbrite[3]. The registration this year will again include a small voluntary fee to offset swag and setup costs per attendee. The fee for USA attendees is $25. This fee has been scaled via the Big Mac Index to other countries and geographic areas. This means the fee in each country should roughly be the same level of spending, rather than the exact equivalent in local currency. That makes it easier for people in each area to register.
The registration system will, again, also allow you to contribute some extra money toward funding travel for those who need it. This means anyone can contribute to make it easier for someone else to attend.
== How can I help?
We publicly plan Flock using the a Fedora Taiga board[4]. Please visit their and grab a card to help!
== Can I get funding to go to Flock?
Yes, please apply using the Funding Request Form[5]
== Ongoing Communication
There is a Freenode IRC channel, **#fedora-flock** for real time communication about Flock. We will be bridging this to a Telegram channel[6] for those who choose to use this client for easier mobile communications.
There is also an attendee mailing list[7] and a planning mailing list[8]. You can reach the staff at flock-staff@fedoraproject.org
