Interesting debate, thanks for raising it.
Would we still need the same style of summit forum if we have the OpenStack
Community Working Gathering? One thing I have found with the forum running all
week throughout the summit is that it tends to draw audience away from other
talks so maybe we could reduce the forum to only a subset of the summit time?
Would increasing the attendance level also lead to an increased entrance price
compared to the PTG? I seem to remember the Ops meetup entrance price was
nominal.
Getting the input from the OpenStack days would be very useful to get coverage.
I've found them to be well organised community events with good balance between
local companies and interesting talks.

To echo what others have said so far, I'm wholeheartedly in favor of
this idea.
It's no secret I'm not a fan of the seemingly artificial schism in
our community between contributors who mostly write software and
contributors who mostly run software. There's not enough crossover
with the existing event silos, and I'd love to see increasing
opportunities for those of us who mostly write software to
collaborate more closely with those who mostly run software (and
vice versa). Having dedicated events and separate named identities
for these overlapping groups of people serves only to further divide
us, rather than bring us together where we can better draw on our
collective strengths to make something great.
