A new contributor's point of view... My first summit was Tokyo, so I have no comparison between how things are and they way they used to be. But by the end of Friday, I and the other people I spoke to - both first-time participants and veterans - had the same sentiment: we wished that the

This thread is going many directions all at once, so I'll somewhat rudely top-reply and call out specific points rather than extend each sub-thread. Thierry, I suspect your strawman will address all of these points and more. Decoupling: I'm very much in favor. For a long time, devs at summits

Simply replying to the last reply in the thread to add a thought: As someone who wants to be speaking more in presentations and be involved in 'User' or 'Operator' conversations, but also wants to participate in project-specific design sessions, I find that the context switches make it difficult

If you compare the number of people that come to mid-cycles with the number of people that come to the summit and attend the design summit, i am sure (without knowing exact numbers) that there is a big difference in favor of the design summit. I also think that its important that users/operators
