You are correct that is the goal of the design summit.  While I do think it is wise to discuss the next steps with LBaaS at this point in time, I am not a proponent of in person mini-design summits.  Many contributors to LBaaS are distributed all over the global, and scheduling a mini summit with short notice will exclude valuable contributors to the team.  I’d prefer to see an open process with discussions on the mailing list and specially scheduled IRC meetings to discuss the ideas.
