It looks like the implicit expectation is that devs also need to attend the
Forums at the summit in addition to the PTG. The Forums, though important,
hardly made it worthwhile for me to attend the summit (and in fact I skipped
Sydney). On the other hand some devs got together and hashed out some plans for
their projects. Personally, I feel the PTG is not working if we also have
summits – and having two summits and one PTG will make things worse. Therefore
I propose to scrap the PTG and add “design summits” back to the OpenStack
summit. As a side effect this will be a better on-ramp for casual developers
who can’t justify going to the PTG and ensure enough developers are on-hand to
hear the operator’s feedback.
The original purpose of the summits were for the developers to get together to
plan what they would work on for the next few months. Over time, the big money
came pouring in, and they became huge marketing events, with developers pushed
off to the fringes. The recent PTGs have been refreshing because they are more
like the original events, where there is no distraction by the corporate
marketing machines, and we can focus on getting shit done.
My question is: if we only have a release once a year, why do we need two
Summits a year?
That's a very good question. I'd see the opposite: PTG twice a year with a Forum
after each release. And loop operators into PTGs more.
