    * INFO: 1.  In the future, would you prefer Flock to Fedora to: Stay in the same place, alternate regions but keep the same place, change place after a few years, change location every year, no preference. (@jflory7:fedora.im, 14:17:16)

    * INFO: "Flock perhaps should more vigorously seek to include people involved in allied efforts, particularly working in parallel on other Linux distributions and in upstream projects for whom in person travel to a regional event is more feasible and cost effective than long distance travel. These are rare opportunities, made all the more rare by the concerns mentioned above. We should make the most of them." (@jflory7:fedora.im, 14:57:21)
    * INFO: "Maybe one idea: a semi organized hallway track where a parts of the Fedora Project would hang out and at different times in the agenda and it was actively encouraged to have "none contributors" spend some time "shopping" for a fit. Another possible idea: give 5 minute lighting talks by reps from those different parts of the project highlighting skills that are used in that Working Group asking specifically for "none contributors" to come and talk more about how they could help."
