Conflicts:
OSCON is July 20 - July 24
GUADEC is July 26 - Aug 1 (Strasbourg, France)
Kernel Summit is August 18 - 20 (Chicago, IL)
LinuxCon NA is August 20 - 22 (Chicago, IL)
These facts alone, combined with the limitations of our venue in Prague
(we need to leverage their summer vacation) mean that these are the best
available weekend dates:
July 11-14
August 1-4
August 8-11
Of those three, I think the latter two are better options. I lean
towards the August 8-11 option, but I'd like to know how the GNOME
people feel about that, since I think Flock would greatly benefit from
increased participation from that group. It also gives us a bit more
time to put it all together.
Steve Gallagher forwarded this on to the Workstation group to gather
some input there. Since GUADEC ends August 1, though, it seems to me
August 8-11 makes for rather a long and expensive trip for those
coming from the USA.
