One thing that hasn't been mentioned is the push by many of the larger
companies involved to have their devs give as many presentations as
possible at the Summit in the hope of improving their visibility in
the OpenStack world, and possibly also providing additional material
to their sales teams about their contribution status. Over the years
I've talked to several people who work for such companies, many of
whom have said that they will only pay for the dev to attend the
summit if they have a presentation accepted.
If you now have a separate summit/meeting for the developers away from
the big splashy business event, I'm wondering if we might make it
harder for many developers to get funded for this travel.
I happen to work for one of the aforementioned companies. The challenge
is on me to explain to management the productivity gains that can be
gotten from sending greater quantities of developers to the smaller
working events.
I gratefully accept this challenge.
