Welcome to Flock
Welcome to Flock 2016 in Krakow! Now in its fourth year, Flock is a fun and productive
event which brings the Fedora community together to discuss new ideas — and to put
those ideas into practice in hackfests and workshops. As we continue to grow the
Fedora operating system, our connections and relationships grow as well, and the inperson connections made at Flock help sustain our "Friends" foundation throughout
the year as we interact through IRC, email, and other digital links.
At Flock, you can meet and reconnect with other contributors from all parts of the
project, from low-level kernel hacking to containers to documentation and design.
Whether this is your first time here or whether you're an old hand, we're very glad to
have you here and value your participation.
Next year, Flock will return to the USA; bids are now open for 2017. For more
information, see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flock_bid_process.

Code of Conduct
Flock is a conference that brings together members of the Fedora community, new
and old, professional and volunteer, from all over the world. Diversity is one of our
huge strengths, but it can also lead to communication issues and unhappiness.
Attendees are required to be considerate and respectful of each other. This includes,
but is not limited to:
• Refraining from rude behavior
• Refraining from any sort of harassment or discrimination (based on ethnic
background, religion, gender, sexuality, body shape, disability, geographic
location, sports team, preferred operating system, or anything else for that
matter)
• Obeying local laws
Attendees who are in violation of this policy may be subject to removal and banning
from Flock (and future Fedora events). Whether an attendee is in violation is at the
sole discretion of the conference staff. Anyone with a possible concern relating to the
code of conduct is encouraged to either email the Flock conference staff (flockstaff@fedoraproject.org) or talk directly to a Flock conference staff member. Flock
staff members have a special ORGANIZER identifier on their event badges, which are
also color-coded a dark blue.
Need Help?
Emergencies
IN AN EMERGENCY, CALL 112. This is the emergency services number in Poland
(similar to 911 in the United States). If you can, also have someone contact an event
organizer, but in case of a fire or health emergency or anything that could require
emergency services please call 112 first.
Getting help from Flock staff
If you need help quickly, you can find Ruth Suehle (suehle), Tom Callaway (spot), Josh
Boyer (jwb), or Joe Brockmeier (jzb) on irc.freenode.net in #flock-help. You can also
text or call Ruth at +1 (567) 429-1701, Tom at +1 (617) 410 6545, Joe at +1 (941)
962-9174, Brian Exelbierd (bexelbie) at +420 606 055 877 and Rafal Luzynski at
+48 660 083 743. Remember that you may need to dial '00' instead of a '+' on your
phone. Rafal speaks Polish and can be of help with local language issues.

Evening Events
Walking Tour & Flock Game Night
Tuesday August 2
Krakow, a historically significant city in Poland, is on display tonight.
Join us for a roughly 90-minute walking tour of the old city center and
learn about our host city. The tour will begin with a bus from the
hotel. The bus will depart at approximately 6:50 pm. The tour will
end with either a bus back to the hotel or advice on nightlife options.
If you wish to take your own transportation, the tour will depart from
Matejki Square at 7:30 pm and end on Wawel Hill at about 9 pm.
Additionally, board games and a retro gaming zone will be available
for general socializing and fun in the hotel starting at 7:30. The board
games will take place in the Rembrandt and Monet rooms. The retro
gaming zone will be set up in the Malczewski room.
Cruise Krakow
Wednesday August 3
Join us for a dinner and optional cruise on the beautiful Vistula River.
A fantastic buffet dinner and drinks will be available for all to enjoy.
There will be two cruise options during the dinner. Details on these
thirty minute cruises will be provided at the dinner. Dinner starts at
7:30 pm. Buses will depart the hotel at approximately 6:30 pm
and 7:20 pm. Buses will begin returning to the hotel at about 9:40
pm. The specific pier being used for the cruise will be announced on
Wednesday morning.
Brewery Lubicz
Thursday August 4
A feast and beer tasting awaits us at Browar Lubicz, a recentlyrestored brewery. The brewery dates from 1840 and has been
brewing beer almost continuously, even during nationalization in the
1950s. Restored in September 2015, the brewery is a high point of a
trip to Krakow. There will be non-beer options available. Dinner
starts at 7:30 pm. Buses will depart the hotel at approximately
6:30 pm and 7:20 pm. Buses will begin returning to the hotel at
about 9:40 pm. Don't forget to look for QR codes at the brewery to
get a special Fedora badge for attending this event.
If you wish to take your own transportation, dinner is located at:
Restauracja Browar Lubicz, ul. Lubicz 17 J, 31-503 Kraków

Taking Flock Online
Blogging
Please blog about Flock, and if you haven't already, add your blog to fedoraplanet.org.
Learn how at ur1.ca/eo3zl. If you are new to Fedora, feel free to ask someone in IRC,
and we'll be happy to help.
If you were subsidized to come to Flock, we ask that you add yourself to Fedora Planet
and write at least one blog post about the event. We'll be asking for your links later.
IRC
Our main IRC channel for the event is #fedora-flock. If you are taking notes for a
session, please report the session name and channel to that channel. If you are using
Gobby or Etherpad, note that in the main channel as well. Each session room also has
a dedicated channel, these are noted on the room plan on page 8.
Telegram
There is a Telegram group for Flock for general Flock discussion and communication
You can add it at: http://bit.ly/flock2016tg
Social Networks
Social networks are a great way to promote Flock and Fedora. Consider following
them so you can keep up with updates and find out where interesting things are
happening. Use the hashtag #flocktofedora on all your social networks when talking
about Flock, and keep an eye on the official Fedora accounts: @fedora on Twitter,
facebook.com/TheFedoraProject on Facebook, and gplus.to/fedoraproject on
Google+.
Fedora Magazine & Community Blog
While many writers of both the Fedora Magazine and the Fedora Community Blog will
be at Flock this year, you should consider writing too. If you see a talk or a discussion
that would make a great article or blog post, email commops@lists.fedoraproject.org
and the team can help you get started!

Radosław Krowiak Co-owner, Akademia Programowania
Radek will introduce the reality of modern and open education, and how since 2013 Polish
educational company Akademia Programowania has prepared users and creators of
technology as young as 5 years old for a future wherein technology plays one of the biggest
roles in our everyday lives. This keynote will highlight coding as not only a way to create
programs, but also an exercise of creativity and teaching problem solving approaches that is a
fresh alternative to traditional education based on schemes and “the right answers."
