We'd still all be represented in the main event. Is the assumption that the users would be at the summit rather than the contributor-specific sessions ? As there is a lot of sharing going on in the current summit format (it is not just talks on products), I think the cloud consumers/deployers would tend towards the summit. I think this is my biggest worry that we get to a scenario where we lose the chance for user (be it consumer of clouds or operators) technical discussion with the projects. It certainly does not need all developers to be present but project presentation at a high level is needed to understand the requirements, explain the reasons for design decisions and debate the appropriate improvements. With the offset of the two event, has an option to locate the operators mid-cycle meetup at the contributor-specific event ?
