Personally, I LOVE that there are overlapping sessions that I want to attend -- it's a sign of a Very Cool & Healthy ecosystem running here at OpenDaylight.
I agree with Chris's comment on the Thursday/Friday being essential in making the summit more than a networking/sales event. From my point of view, it's an opportunity for members of the wider open source community to gain access to the core development teams, and cross pollinate ideas. Perhaps what is needed to help the DDF is a few anchor events/sessions. At the last ApacheCon we had Mark Shuttleworth as one of the last speakers; he performed a live demo of JuJu charms and Maas. It kept a large number of attendees on site to the end of the conference just to see that presentation. In relation to ODL Summit, could some plenary speaker(s) be arranged for the end of DDF days?
