Thanks summarizing it, Eric.

Combination of 1. and 2. looks good.

Basically, we'll have work sessions in PTG for next release. Other teams and operator could come, so it's easy for Congress team to discuss anything with them.

Then if needed, we can have unofficial work session of Congress team at summit instead of mid-cycle. We don't need to consider hosts and location. Additionally, we could meet Congress user who has a presentation and nice usecase but doesn't contribute actively.

best regards,
Masahito

Good summary. It is true that for small-to-medium sized teams (which did
not routinely organize midcycles), there is a tough choice to make.

See a couple of remarks inline:

Here are some of our choices as a team, as well as some first thoughts on
pros and cons:

1. Do work sessions at PTGs; no organized work sessions at summits.
Pro: schedule lines up wit beginning of dev cycle
Pro: work room available
Pro: easy to collaborate with other teams
Con: extra travel for those who will continue to attend summit.

+Pro: PTGs are organized in cheaper locations and closer to the center
of mass of contributors, hopefully making it less costly to travel to
overall
+Pro: More team time (for Congress: 2-3 days instead 2-3 hours) for a
better return on travel investment

2. Unofficial work session at summits; no work sessions at PTGs.
Pro: For people who would be going to the summits anyway, this option
reduces travel.
Con: probably no official work room available.
Con: happens at the middle of a dev cycle

3. Separately organize work sessions in the style of past mid-cycle
sprints; no work sessions at any of the official openstack events.
Pro: we can choose schedule and location
Con: harder to collaborate with other teams

+Con: extra travel for those who will continue to attend summit
