Hey guys, I would like to share some feedback with you about the pre-flock session, I've done today.
There was only 1 speaker, Michal Novotny, who made it to the session. I contacted 45 of them, 4 of them showed the interest, but one day before, most of them canceled it.
BUT, I still think it was worth to try it again next year because I was able to provide useful feedback to Michal and he was happy to try it!
This year it was experimental, as I have done this practice for the first time as an online session and with the external audience. And it was a good lesson, I can say :)
What I've learned from this session and we can improve to the future:
- it is good to do it one week before the Flock (lesson learned from the
previous year)
- list of speakers - it should be exportable to EXCEL, not only on the
website (as Bex has some problem with that I think) and ready at least 2-3 weeks before the flock
- it was not really clear for some speakers if their talk is confirmed
or not (one week before Flock) so they were not sure if they should practice talk.
There were some scheduling delays this year. I am saving these items to a list for 2019 considerations.
- it would be great if speakers know about this session from official
organizers if it is possible - I am not sure how you confirm speakers talk, but if you are sending the email, it would be great to mention that they will have this option. If they are interested, they could sign in to the list. It would be really helpful and I would know who to contact. Just an idea :)
+1
- use as much communication channels as I can to promote the session -
especially, the external one (I am an internal comms focused girl, sorry about that I have to improve😂), because nobody reads the emails. And I was not aware of the Flock communication channels (Telegram for example).
+1
regards,
bex
That's it, I hope it is ok and a bit helpful. Good luck with Flock, hope you have a good time there!

Hello guys, I just want to let you know that we are going to have a small video call session tomorrow (Friday) to practice the talks with 2-3 speakers, who was interested to practice it. Each speaker will have 10 minutes for presentation and after time for feedback.
This is a kind of experiment, as I've never done it virtually before, so we will see if it is useful for them :)
Please, feel free to join us. We will start* at 2 pm (CEST) *and the link for a video call is here: https://bluejeans.com/4763632073
See you Lenka

Hey Bee, so far, I found only one person interested in pre-flock practice here in Brno.
I sent also email to remote people on Monday, but I haven't had any response from them yet.
I was thinking to organize BlueJeans session for speakers from other countries and it is a good idea to also record it. Thanks for this tip.
If you find another way, how to share it with Flock speakers, I will be grateful.
Thanks and have a nice day Lenka

Hi Lenka,
I really appreciate your work in organising speaker prep workshops! I just had a small suggestion -
Have you considered video recording the session and/or live streaming it? It would help a lot to join virtually as speakers are distributed all over the globe. Also, if they are unable to join the virtual session, they can watch the recording.
Let me know if you are open to this idea and if you need any help with outreach and suggestions by Justin.
Best Bee

Hi Lenka,
I think the pre-Flock speaker feedback session is a great idea, but I don't anticipate having the time before Flock to help lead and work on this effort.
To help with visibility, I suggest sharing participation details on this mailing list and in the #fedora-flock IRC channel on irc.freenode.net.
Additionally, I suggest writing a short call for participation on the Fedora Community Blog as a great way to boost visibility for the speaker sessions (and also find more people willing to volunteer and help with this too).

Hope this is useful!
