Why not have Remy + Matthew work with the Flock planners and any additional people[1] from Council, FESCo, and Ambassadors/Marketing to plan a set of specific talk topics needed for Flock? In other words, start with what we're trying to achieve in the next 18+ months, and let that drive the agenda for Flock. This seems like a better way to achieve the following goals:
- Connects Flock content with future development
- Thus increasing the value of the conference, and the justification for people to attend (no matter whether it's on their dime or an employer's)
- Also sets up for useful workshops/hackfests around that future development work
- Helps establish a set of speakers/attendees needed to fund for attendance, making budget at least somewhat easier to estimate
I like this. I've mentioned before that I'd like to prioritize talks that connect to the 12-18 month Fedora Community Objectives (see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Objectives). And if people think a topic is important but isn't on that list, to help create an Objective for that Something so that it _is_ listed.
