Hi Colin,
I can share my opinion; I would like to see the whole week being used. If I’m travelling half way around the world for an event I do want to make the most of the time I spend there, compressing things is not necessarily the best way to attract a global audience. The people you want to be there on the DDF are less likely to be worried about not travelling on the Friday that those who are focused on networking or sales. I have found for example that when I have a set of objectives at OpenStack related to code/projects that Friday is a day of much progress and engagement. The people who generally remain there on the Thursday & especially Friday are there to get s#%&f done which can be a great way to top off what tends to otherwise feel like a networking event.

See bullet 2 here: https://meetings.opendaylight.org/opendaylight-meeting/2016/opendaylight_tsc/opendaylight-meeting-opendaylight_tsc.2016-09-29-15.03.html Some of the ideas/concerns were: * In the past, nobody stayed for Friday * We can't have community volunteers run tutorials on Sunday, so they have to be on Monday * That forces us into a 3-day event, which is *really* compressed if it's a Summit and DDF * OpenStack apparently had the problem with people leaving on Friday, but that got better over time * In the future, we're likely to co-locate the summit with some other projects/events to cut down on conference fatigue and try to get more cross-pollination Feel free to chime in here with ideas, suggestions, tomatoes, etc. Cheers, --Colin _______________________________________________ TSC mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opendaylight.org/mailman/listinfo/tsc
