Personally I would rather not use up valuable time on them, given my earlier stance. It would be hypocritical of me to suggest fewer tracks and talks and then further eat into talk opportunities with more keynotes.

This was not nailed down, but we suggested a 6 week period would be appropriate. I would suggest we use March 14 as a deadline. We could optionally extend to April 1 (no joke) if needed, which is F-minus-4months for scheduling.
Whatever deadline we choose, I volunteer to put out a F-Mag article and internal info about the deadline.
We need to include the information about no votes. That wasn't included in the Flock announce. That also means we need to figure out our talk selection committee. Spot and I can probably do that.

I'd like to see a weekly Flock planning meeting at this point. We
No meeting without a clear agenda. I'm not convinced we're going to make progress on enough things to meet weekly yet. I'd suggest every other week. Or really, I'd suggest a weekly status email from people that own action items and only meet as a whole if there's something we cannot work on via email. We need action, not meetings.
OK, I can concur with that. Main goal is momentum.
Silly Q - is there a Trac we can use for Flock?
Please do not make me use Trac. I will happily setup a Pagure project with whatever you want in it and we can use issues there. Or I'll stand up a bugzilla instance. Or a cantas or trello board. Or literally anything other than trac.
