Core reviewing should just be a duty you sign up to, not necessarily a way to get into a cool party. It was also a bit exclusive of other types of contributions. Apparently in Austin the group was reduced to only release:managed repositories. This tag is to describe which repositories the release team is comfortable handling. I think it's inappropriate to reuse it to single out a subgroup of cool folks, and if that became a tradition the release team would face pressure from repositories to get the tag that are totally unrelated to what the tag describes.I didn't realize the tag was being used that way. I agree it's completely inappropriate, and I wish someone had asked.So.. while I understand the need for calmer parties during the week, I think the general trends is to have less parties and more small group dinners. I would be fine with HPE sponsoring more project team dinners instead :)That fits my vision of the new event, which is less focused on big glitzy events and more on small socializing opportunities.
++ to all the above! I just wanted to agree with this and I don't have much else to add. Flavio -- @flaper87 Flavio Percoco
