I suggest people to reply here if they would like to attend or maybe
when we create a wiki page they will be able just to add their names
to avoid the noise here.
Yes, a wiki page would be easier.

Almost every place is accessible by bus and also please include a train.
What about this brainstorming idea:
Flock starts on August 8. Let's organize FAD on August 6 and 7 (Monday
and Tuesday), whole days, with people arriving on Sunday, Aug 5 evening
and leaving Wednesday, August 8 early in the morning.
If we need two days for the FAD it's better to start on August 5, and so
on August 7 people will be able to travel and reach Dresden. If people
would fly very early on August 8 they will be tired for Flock.
The event should be funded by Fedora and the cost will be near zero.
Here is why: Flock starts on August 8 in the morning. People will likely
arrive on August 7 evening. The hotel in Dresden is rather expensive,
like everywhere in Germany and in whole western Europe, the cost is
100 € per night, if I understand correctly. If we promise to arrive
on August 8 in the morning then we save money for one night and this is
sufficient to spend 2-6 nights in a hotel in Poland or in any other cheap
location. Maybe I'm little hyperbolizing and this calculation does not
include the travel cost. A single journey train ticket costs 20 € and
discounts are available (e.g., for a group travel), also likely we'll
find a cheaper transport, like a bus. We need about 2-4 hours to arrive
which means we'll have to leave like 4 AM or 6 AM. Shall we be tired?
Yes but you can have a little nap on bus or a train, also you will be
tired if you spend 10 or 20 hours on the plane instead.
I think is better to think why we need this FAD, why is important for
our team etc rather than budget.
Before thinking about money and cost, I would focus on content and ideas
first.
Location: please reuse this proposal:

and also I'd like to suggest this mountain resort:
https://u4999934.ct.sendgrid.net/wf/click?upn=PEGtk34F2vzY-2FdDEgdADyfHI8...
or we can have hundreds of other locations. The locations from Czech
Republic and Germany are also welcome, I just cannot suggest anything
specific.

Hopefully, see above.

I think I'd like to see the translators moving their tasks forward,
onboarding newcomers, identifying and fixing the problems, like common
mistakes or software bugs making the translation difficult or impossible,
exchanging their experiences. So, like a motto of Flock 2017: more "do"
than "talk".

Thank you Noriko and Pravin for joining as organizers.
I'm happy to see the discussions to organize a L10n FAD. I would be
happy to help organize it.
Cheers,
Jona
