| Flock will have four days of scheduled content, one social outing day, and two optional days at the end for open hacking. Interested presenters will submit a title, abstract, and categorization for talks, hackfests, sprints, or workshops. There will also be a block of time for lightning talks, which will not require scheduling before Flock.
