Hi Justin, wooow, thank you so much for the tips! That is very helpful and sounds promising, I just wrote to the Flock staff people. :) I would definitely like to make a wrap-up; those daily reports would be a big help for that. Thanks for the idea about the What's coming post. The last info about Flock I found at the Magazine was posted on May 20th. What would be the value of the pre-event article? Say more about the content, give tips for watching live (if there is an option), promote the written coverage...? Is that enough? :) Natalie Ardasevova nardasev@xxxxxxxxxx Marketing Communications Specialist
Yep, no problem!I think a pre-event article would be useful in giving our greater user audience an idea of what's coming. Flock is definitely the biggest event in Fedora of the year, and many of the decisions and collaboration that happen there end up being reflected in the future of the distribution. One of the most interesting talks, in my eyes anyways, is FPL Matthew Miller's "State of Fedora" talk, where he gives the low-down on how the project is doing with some statistics and numbers, and puts his own personal feel for where the project is headed. In short, I think communicating this to our user community, albeit a little bit more abstractly, would be helpful.
Covering some of the content in terms of both the technical talks and the hands-on workshops where contributors are making changes would be a good angle to cover. I'm not sure if there will be streams (best to assume not unless given direct confirmation there will be because of bandwidth issues). But *definitely* highlighting the coming of daily updates on the Community Blog would be useful.
It would be really cool to see some active journalism happening *during* Flock too, from my eyes. That would be nice to help generate some more buzz. :)

I'd like to ask for your input: I would like to go to the Flock conference in Krakow at the beginning of August. I need to write a proposal for my (Red Hat) managers to show them the benefits of this trip. I'm wondering, do you have any journalists on your behalf that will be at Flock? Could I be of any use there to you and write some report/article(s) for your magazine? Thank you! Natalie Ardasevova nardasev@xxxxxxxxxx Marketing Communications SpecialistHi Natalie! Thanks for reaching out again. I'm not personally aware of any professional journalists or other news sources that would be at Flock other than some of the people on this list. :) In terms of getting an answer specifically to that, you'd probably want to reach out to the Flock staff organizers. You can reach them at flock-staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Usually, it's a pretty quick turnaround on a reply, and they should be able to help tell you specifically about any needs for press coverage at Flock. But, to the best of my knowledge, there is not anything in line right now. In other replies, you asked about where you could publish a daily report. As far as that would go, the Fedora Community Blog would be the best place for daily updates. You can find that here: https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org It would also probably be nice to have a big wrapper post at the end of the conference covering the event as a whole. That would definitely be best for the Magazine (or maybe even something *before* the event too, as a precursor to what's coming)! Hope this info helps. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7@xxxxxxxxx
