Rounding off this thread, note the conclusion posted here: https://lists.opendaylight.org/pipermail/tsc/2018-January/008728.html
And Phil's follow-up here: https://lists.opendaylight.org/pipermail/tsc/2018-January/008739.html In short, the DDF will be on Sunday 3/25. Active contributors will get a 50% discount for all of ONS. To best support ODL and LFN, we're strongly encouraged to attend all of ONS, from the DDF on Sunday to the cross-community dev event Mon/Tues to ONS-proper Wed/Thurs.
