Flock Hackfest
by Chris Roberts
Hey everyone,
Does 15:00-17:00 sound good for a hackfest today? As JZB stated there is an open room. I have been working on some stuff in the background to clean up the site and enhance a few things.

Flock Hackfest?
by Joe Brockmeier
Who do we have at Flock that might be up for a hackfest on Friday or Saturday?
Looks like there is one open room on Saturday from 15:00 - 17:00 and / or we could meet for lunch on Friday and/or Saturday.
Thoughts, comments, flames?
Best,
jzb

I was leaning towards lots of smaller posts. Most of the incoming links for the GUADEC posts were only related to one section of a larger post.
I don't see the harm in having small posts -- easier for people to view the stream rather than wade through larger posts to read what they care about.
Just my thoughts

FLOCK coverage idea
by Ryan Lerch
Hi all,
After the success that was Jiří's coverage of GUADEC, i have been
looking at the incoming links from other websites, and it seems that the
majority of incoming links to his posts were for coverage on a
particular talk.
So, my idea here would be to do individual posts for each of the talks
that we are going to cover at FLOCK. This approach will also make it
easier to assign a specific talk to a writer so we don't have multiple
people covering the same talk.
I have created a draft wikipage here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/FlockCoverageOnFMAG
to track who will be covering what.
I have also added a few guidelines for the content at the top, but this
is really just me throwing out a few ideas, so feel free to change /
remove anything from there.
Also, do we want to prefix (or postfix) each post title with a tagline
(maybe "[FLOCK 2014]:") or something so its clear what the post is about?
cheers,
ryanlerch

I was going to suggest the same! Briefing out each day could be a great idea.
Small posts with summary and resolution (if any) of each talk can really help people track the conference on a daily basis.

I did combos last year.... basically I did a brief synopsis for every
talk, one blog post per day. Got really good coverage and every post got
LWN coverage.
FWIW
