FWIW, I hope this doesn't die completely.  I have been lurking in interest
because:
a) I was hoping there would be some way to consume content from the summit
without being able to attend
b) That some of that content would be useful to a (potential) contributor
outside Sundom
c) I might learn more about how to navigate the waters into actually
contributing, as I believe I'm only about 10% into that process

Broad sips would help me more now than deep pulls from the information hose,
and any tidbits I can get from a coding and process standpoint would be 100%
useful to me, especially in easily digested streaming video form.   I'm
hoping Alan's vision comes forward more -- low-res content on YouTube and
hi-res on opensolaris.org.  To that end, I'd even volunteer time for editing
and managing video if that's required.

Either way, at some point in my personal future timeline I expect to want to
have the in-depth stuff -- the 1 and 2 hour or even 8 hour sessions.  I
realize that may not come from 15 minute session talks from a summit or
TechDay or whatever but hopefully I don't have to go too far away
(virtually) from opensolaris.org to find that.  And honestly, I don't want
to have to go to SunU to get it either unless that's a no-cost
proposition.   If there's a format, curriculum, or content that can be
"leveraged" from there, that seems ostensibly like a win, though.

Device driver implementation is of concern for me -- even if I don't have
qualifications in that particular area to contribute effectively -- because
that's a perceived weakness of OpenSolaris as far as I'm concerned.  I'd
volunteer what meager resources I could to see that any and all information,
especially in streaming media format, came to light.
