Sorry yeah I screwed that up. I re-read the PTG email and the first two 
days are cross-project things, and Wed-Fri are meetup style at the PTG, 
it's not time-boxed sessions like the design summit, unless again I'm 
screwing this up and this is just a thing that's not explainable to mere 
mortals until we actually experience one.
