Yes, it's a short amount of time to pack a lot in. However, that shouldn't stop
you from trying to see if you can organize a set of meetings outside those 2
days, or try and attend/organize an additional SVOSUG for a bunch of new people
in town to attend.

Not yet, though you can suggest topics for discussion -

Hopefully we'll have some set topics for Saturday, but Sunday will mostly be an
unconference, and we'll probably spend breakfast coming up with a list of
breakouts for people to attend.

Hopefully a lot of that will happen over a drinks reception on Friday night, and
during breakfast on Saturday morning. The schedule hasn't been set in stone, but
maybe Ian can lead an introduction session at 10am on Saturday morning, for
people to introduce themselves, say what they do, and thoughts of what they hope
to get out of the summit.

That's very much up to each person to choose. I personally prefer using the
opportunity for a discussion and planning session, to maximize the time I have
with other people. If I spent it staring out my laptop, I could be anywhere else.
