Open Stack

If you compare the number of people that come to mid-cycles with the number
of people that come
to the summit and attend the design summit, i am sure (without knowing
exact numbers) that there is a big difference
in favor of the design summit.

I also think that its important that users/operators meet and discuss their
use cases and problems with the developers
this is the only chance to really do this on large open scale.

I dont think splitting the two is a good idea.

Maybe the solution is to split the design summits  sessions into mini
smaller sessions and delegate responsibility,
hopefully smaller teams can achieve better more focused milestones.
(From my small 2 summits experience, usually the last day with the open
talks is the most efficient one)

Another thing we need to get better at are "virtual sprints" working
groups, i think that we still need to see
how to make these work more efficiently but i have a feeling they can be
efficient with certain responsibility
from the people attending.
