We haven't quite gotten to this year's Flock, but it's time to start the bid process for next year! We hope doing so will stir some discussions of possible locations during this year's event.
Continuing the alternating of continents, we'll be back in Europe for Flock 2016. If you'd like to host next year's event in your city, it's time to start putting together a bid. To find out how, read the wiki page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flock_bid_process
Bids are not due until after Flock 2015, but you should not wait to start. It takes a significant amount of time to compile the required information for a good bid.
Along those lines, keep in mind that committing to help plan a conference is a lot of work and shouldn't be approached lightly. It's a big time commitment, and as the local contact, you're critical to the success of the event.
Historically we have held Fedora events on college campuses simply for the reason that this is often free space if we know a student or faculty member there, but it is not a requirement that we be on a campus if we can find other affordable space. For example, Flock 2015 has the assistance of RIT, but we will not be on their campus.
Feel free to let us know if you have any other questions or need help getting your bid together.
Thanks! Ruth, Tom, and Josh
Flock bids were due two days ago. I have heard rumors of bids being built, but I've seen no links. Did I miss them being sent to the list?

So... what actually happens if we have no bids? Do we have a plan for that?
Roughly speaking, "Ruth makes a plan." I've already been scoping out contingencies given how little I'd been hearing of bids.

That could be fun ;-). But I have a few ideas who to contact across EU, with Jan Kuřík, we discussed one option today. I'd like to try it this week. Also we should activate our EMEA ambassadors network.

If you're looking at an option, can you give me a real idea of when that bid would be ready? Because again, they were due two days ago, and it's not like there was no warning.

As far as I'm aware, Ruth hasn't moved to EMEA so that will have to wait until 2017.

And I fudged that up. I meant to just send that to Ruth versus a message on list. My apologies everyone.

The french team is trying to put something together but we're only hearing back from potentiel locations starting today. Is it possible to extend the deadline till Friday?
