Thanks for raising this while I was out Emilien - indeed we need to provide
some feedback (before the end of August, ideally sooner) about our needs
for summit space.

I think this allocation worked well in Austin, so I'd suggest we ask for
the same again.

I know Thierry indicated we should request less, but we are asking for far
fewer sessions than many other projects, so I'd like to aim for the same
allocation and see if that can be accommodated.

What do folks think, if I can get some acks on this plan I will go ahead
and provide the feedback to Thierry.

Thanks, I added a couple of topics, will add some more later.
