+1 this is the direction that Keystone's summit session planning was
naturally headed. The session submission website was headed in a direction
where it felt like more of a formality that didn't quite serve its intended
purpose (aggregating and organizing discussion ideas), and didn't
particularly benefit the community as a result, than it felt like a useful
tool.

The scheduling piece of it (which mapped topics to timeslots and pushed to
sched.org), which I presume most non-PTLs ever saw, generally worked great.

I really hope that a less structured process will make it easier for
everyone to contribute and advocate for discussion ideas in a collaborative
manner. The design summit isn't about "my session topic" vs "your session
topic," it's about collaborating with our peers, regardless of whether that
peer group is 2 people or 100. A discussion shouldn't be "rejected" because
the group of interested parties is too small, it should simply find its
place.
