Thanks to everyone for giving our schedule a good look, you caught several bugs, and we've fixed them. Here is the revised schedule.
A few more items:
* Please do not request to add any additional speakers to your talks. We're stretching our subsidy budget very thin as is. (Jaromir, I added Petr Kovar to yours, but he will be the last.)
* We'll be going through and reaching out to each of you who requested travel or hotel subsidy individually. If you want to try to figure out what you think is a nice affordable flight for you, that would be nice. Don't book it, just find the details and save it for when we email you. Please be patient with us and realize that we have a lot of people to pay for.
* If you've asked for hotel subsidy, you need to be sharing that hotel room to help us keep costs down. Find a roommate (ideally another speaker, but another Flock attendee who needs a room is fine). If you've found one already, please send us that information.
* This is your _last_ chance to point out issues in the schedule. We'll be making it live tomorrow.
* Oh, and if you have any suggestions on keynote speakers, send them along. We're looking for people outside of the Fedora Community who share our values and have an interesting story to tell. Bonus points if they're in Europe already. :)

What about Nicolas Dandrimont, Debian Developer who is trying to bring fedmsg in Debian (some folks here have seen his talk with pingou at FOSDEM) ?
Pieter Hintjens (iMatix CEO/zeromq community), his talk "Social Architecture 101" would make a great keynote. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj-li0LO_2g (video) http://techmeshconf.com/dl/techmesh-london-2012/slides/PieterHintjens_Social... (slides)
Loic Dachary who started Upstream University (http://upstream-university.org/). He has just joined Inktank.
They were listed in the planning list but still relevant: Harald Welte (gpl-violations), Roberto Di Cosmo, etc.

It's a workshop and I'm pretty sure it's meant to be a discussion among several people, not really a talk. Either way, we can add you as a co-moderator on the final schedule.

That was a great talk, and the joint effort was awesome to see. I'm not sure if it'd make a keynote, though.
Pieter Hintjens (iMatix CEO/zeromq community), his talk "Social Architecture 101" would make ah great keynote. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj-li0LO_2g (video) http://techmeshconf.com/dl/techmesh-london-2012/slides/PieterHintjens_Social...

Those both seem awesome. Also, I heard some news about Inktank recently. :)
As for Nicolas, i'd focus the keynote on the Debian side and cross-distro collaboration.

The schedule looks good except for one thing: the Fedora.next joint session was scheduled for one hour. It would be ideal if it could be extended by at least an additional half-hour (possible to eat into lunch, maybe? Pardon the pun).
The format of that talk is going to be a three-part event: an overview of Fedora.next, a status update from the individual working groups and then a Q&A session. I think one hour is a bit tight for the amount of material we need to cover.

As the person who was earlier arguing for shorter talks, I can at least promise to keep the first part really fast. :)

Exactly. For example, I don't think you need to do the full version of the talk you did at DevConf. It's gotten a lot of play via the video and the Fedora Magazine articles.

Any way we can swap the 10:00am and 11:00am talks on Saturday in Track 4? I'd really like to be part of Peter Robinson's "State of ARM" talk in Track 3, but it's the same time as my talk in Track 4.

Server, Workstation, and Env & Stacks all have their own sessions. There's also a Fedora.next advocating talk, a governance workshop, a talk about Fedora.next and Spins, and an F22 Fedora.next session. We already have a LOT of Fedora.next content. Repeating a bunch of content that is already split out into separate sessions isn't a good use of anyone's time. Make your overviews and updates in the joint session short and it should be doable within an hour or a bit over.

I'll need the final room config soon, there is certain pressure from the university. Ping me on IRC if you need help with assigning the rooms to the tracks.

Sorry to make things more complicated... Laura Novich (lnovich) has asked if my Docs hackfest could be moved to a different day, as she's one of the major contributors to the Docs SIG, and she doesn't work on Saturdays due to religious reasons. Would it be too inconvenient to move it to another day?

Also my workshop is supposed to be different than that hackfest. It was not clear from that schedule.

Yes, but we had to merge them to get them both in. They were similar enough that we combined them. If this is a serious issue, please let us know.

I guess they both are very different. I will be teaching/doing sphix for people to start making new docs for different projects and I guess Jared's one is on Fedora documentation.

Please talk to Jared and see if you can come to some kind of agreement. Worst case, you can introduce your topic in the workshop and split out into an open room for your material (we'll have open rooms at all times).

You should make your own hotel reservations, which don't have to be paid for up front, although you do need to have a credit card to make the reservation, as with most hotels. I will be working with everyone to purchase flights for those who need subsidies. We're currently confirming how much budget we have, and there are many flights to purchase, which is an incredibly time-consuming process, so please be patient.
