Okay, seems that a lot of different people are confused, and may have different
ideas of what the summit means to them (which probably gets us down to the type
of event we wanted to plan in the first place).

>From Sara's original announcement -

"The OpenSolaris Summit is not a conference with presentations or exhibitors,
but an in-person, collaborative working session to plan the next release of
Project Indiana."

In light of the various conversations happening on the list (both yourself,
Michelle and others), Sara and I tried to sit down and come up with an alternate
proposal -

http://www.gnome.org/~gman/summit-schedule.html

We've tried to group a few sessions together into 2 hour blocks. For sessions
that we thought were likely to be popular (and had a wide variety of
stakeholders) we tried to avoid scheduling them against anything else.

For those people who want to have sessions on topics not listed in the current
draft, there are 2 or 3 rooms available to allow a focused breakout session.
This is the 'unconference' nature of the summit. We will provide a whiteboard at
the venue to allow people to pencil in sessions, whether they are discussions or
hackfests.


What do people think?
