I haven't been living under a rock but I'm not aware of any major 
announcements regarding session planning for the PTG - has that happened 
somewhere and I'm just in the dark?

I'm mostly wondering about the Monday and Tuesday cross-project sessions 
- are those time-boxed sessions like at the summit and will have a 
schedule? Or are we just playing fast and loose and hoping someone will 
lead us out of a hallway and into a room for Major Synergy (tm)?

I see project teams are working on getting etherpads together for 
topics, including myself, which got me thinking about how to plan the 
Wed-Friday sessions which for a midcycle meetup would normally be a list 
of topics that we'd go through in order (or by priority) but not 
time-boxed or scheduled. But then I got thinking about how the PTG is 
right before we start working on Pike, so I'm now thinking we need more 
structure than what we did at the midcycles, and more like what we do at 
the design summit with respect to scheduled discussions about things 
that are going to be worked on in the upcoming release, figuring out 
goals, determining review priorities, etc - which is actually a lot more 
work to plan and schedule ahead of time, especially when we consider 
(vertical) cross-project sessions like between nova/cinder or nova/neutron.

In other words, the fact I haven't had anxiety yet about planning the 
PTG makes me anxious that I'm falling way behind already.
