Clarification regarding schedule for Flock
From Tom's recent blog I read:
* inode0 suggested that it would be better if the scheduled part of
Flock ended on the weekend, so we are strongly considering August 7 -
13, 2013 for the dates (August 12 and 13 would be optional "hackfest
days" with no assigned schedule in advance).
I just want to be clear this wasn't my suggestion really. My concern
is that full participation with travel on both ends would require a
contributor in NA to likely take 7 full days of vacation from work to
attend the entire conference. For people coming from other regions it
would probably be even more.
The ideal timing of this from my perspective would be a 7 day block
running Sunday through Saturday, leaving weekend days on both ends for
travel and "only" requiring 5 full days of vacation to attend. That is
still a lot of vacation time but I think it is a lot easier to get one
full week off than it is to get any longer time off.
Anyway, this isn't something I want to nag about or whine and complain
about until it suits me better. I just want to be clear about what my
concern really is. I'm happy to try anything and see how it works.
