Also, FWIW, we (organizers) suggested "genres" for submissions to Flock from the first event, to help encourage talks that we thought would be valuable to the community. Having an overarching theme would be interesting, but I'd want it to be something that Flock inherited from a community focus, not an event only thing.

For whatever reason, we basically got those themes by accident. I
suggested some examples that fit the style of theme that I wanted
(thinking about impact on the project or the community, rather than
technology-centric tracks), and no one else had any other ones, so
that's what we got. (I mean, I don't think my suggestions were bad per
se, but we probably good have done better with more input.)
