Armed with this input, the PTLs can factor this into the summit session planning. If there are needs for a user/operator advocate in design sessions, I think we can find candidates as we expand through the volunteers and ambassador programs.

Yes, that was great. I know it dramatically informed how I put together
my piece of the schedule, and what sessions I made sure to participate in.

I really like this approach. I think that there would be no reason to
align the cadence with the design summit.

I actually think that the way the Linux Foundation does the End User
