I know this is late, but we have fewer "fun" submissions than I'd hoped for, so I'm throwing this on the heap. We've done Fedora Social Hour in Mozilla Hubs, a shared VR space, several times. Let's bring that to Flock. Fedora Project Leader Matthew Miller will give a brief welcome, but mostly it will be playing with the space and hanging out for an hour or so.
(We can actually leave the room up and running as a parallel space for socializing at any time during the event!)
All are welcome. A VR headset is fun, but it will also work just from browser
I'm actually imagining setting it up and letting it just be available as a hangout space. (Or possibly spaces: it works best with no more than a dozen concurrent participants.)

Truthfully, I like the idea of encouraging folks to hang out in the space across Nest, if there is not any other session/talk they want to attend. I know time zones, work schedules, and calendaring is going to be hard for boiling the social time into a single hour worldwide :)
Alternatively, if moderation is a concern, we might be able to find volunteers for "region leads" or "time zone leads" to host a Social Hour. For example: @mattdm hosts a NA/LATAM friendly social hour, Shadowman hosts an EMEA friendly social hour, Beefy Miracle hosts an APAC friendly social hour, etc.
Your session has been accepted for Nest with Fedora. Please review the attached schedule (PDF) and advise ASAP if there are any conflicts. The timezone used for the attached schedule is EST. I created two sessions to cover multiple time zones and for more folks to have a chance to come hang out with the FPL. Schedule will be locked by Tuesday August 4th. If you have further questions or need assistance, feel free to email mnordin@redhat.com or drop those inquiries on this ticket. Thanks!

Hi! Nest with Fedora is beginning shortly. I want to thank you for speaking at this years contributor conference, your time and effort is appreciated :)
I have outlined the basic process for speakers below. If you have questions, feel free to drop them here and I will do my best to answer them before the event begins.
How to get to your session: Enter the event Go to Sessions tab on the left at the correct time Click your session Accept permissions for audio/video You're in!
Sessions are set up as moderated by the speakers. There is a maximum of 10 people on screen at once, though people can leave the screen and different attendees can request permission to join. The speaker(moderator) will have a moderation panel on the bottom left hand side to allow or deny the request. If you feel you need someone besides yourself to help with moderation, please make sure they are registered for the event and provide their full name here. Anyone can watch and participate in the chat. Sessions will be recorded.
To share slides, there is an option at the bottom to share your screen, where you can choose the window/tab to share. To share a video with audio, you can share your screen and play the audio on loud speaker (so your mic picks it up). Screen sharing works just as other video conferencing tools (like Google Meet, Bluejeans etc).
If you have technical issues during your session, contact one of the attendees labelled "Organiser" or myself, Marie Nordin, through the platforms direct message function.
Cheers!
