I think by "100% inclusive" you mean "getting the right people for the problem to solve" in the room. I would support that objective. Do you think there are some key people who would need help to participate in these sort of mini-events? Let's talk about how to fix that > * Is the foundation involved on this process? How? What is the budget? > Who is the responsible from the foundation side? The Foundation can always be involved. I warn you though that in general, anything that needs to happen *at* the Summit or immediately before/after it that is not already scheduled is not going to generate waves of enthusiasm from Foundation's staff.We're all operating at 150% resources and the closer we get to the dates the more we overheat :) That said, we've been experimenting with mid-cycle meetings, for infra team, docs team, operators... We've done them on an ad-hoc basis but if this becomes a thing that the community needs, I don't have a problem imagining the mini-summits as a program at the Foundation, with budget/resources assigned to them. > * As a OpenStack developer.

I have the feeling that the answer can be simply the scale issue: we went from a Design Summit with ~200 people and 4 projects to discuss, to ~700 people and over a dozen programs. I have no idea about the solution though, and I'd love to have a mini summit[1] to discuss how to solve it.

I actually think we need to have more in person meetings during the cycle. I think there is always a way to circle back ideas to remote participants and the wider community, on IRC and mailing lists before making any decision 'official'. Seriously, I think we need to talk more about this.
