​Hi Amrith,

I think this is a great point, there's always informal conversations and
mixed reviews on talks, but it would be really great if we could formalize
this, and use it to aid in the process of choosing talks for the "next"
summit.

Of course the key is participation and some why of trying to make sure we
actually get info submitted by people that attended the talk.

Anyway, I think it's a great idea and certainly worth looking at possibly
doing for the summit in Tokyo.

Thanks,
John​
