I can check about intended Flock attendance. We originally were thinking about a date a
couple weeks before Flock because we wanted part of the FAD to be working on last-minute
print materials for Flock (eg the program.) We also chose the date because of potential
attendees' availability at that time, and ended up thinking the proximity to Flock
would save Fedora overall with APAC travel costs and travel time, since we have key
contributors now located in APAC (e.g., Ryan's flight is much cheaper than it could
have been since we're able to split a 3-pronged trip with another budget, and he and
Sirko will spend less time in the air overall.)
