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.
Attendance at Flock is free and open to all. Pre-registration is closed but anyone is still welcome to attend. However, unregistered attendees may miss out on swag or the evening events as these are booked based on pre-registration. If you did pre-register, can view your information on the registration page.
