The dates are a few days immediately before Flock begins in Krakow.
How much overlap do you think there will be with people wishing to
attend both? I would suspect most people to be traveling during the
tentative FAD dates.
Also, I think some of the budget tables are broken in wiki formatting.
It is making them difficult for me to understand. This is likely a
quick fix, but I don't want to do guesswork and get it wrong. On a
similar note, the attendees table has asterisks but those appear to
belong to a budget table?
