There is just something which does not feel right about it. From my point of view, this is a matter of common sense, focus is gonna be very narrow and deeply technical. Attendee should go there only if they think they will give positive feedback. As for myself, I would not attend a developer meeting on the fiber-channel over infiniband optimization, but would attend a developer meeting on next-generation mbuf. Now, maybe I'll just push the door of some developer meeting I'd be interested in during next BSDCan, and see what happen :-) The outcome might be interesting to study in a social interaction, prisoner dilemma related, point-of-view. - Arnaud > And/or, work with warner to get improvements into the tree and someone > will sponsor a commit bit for you. > > Perhaps we as developers should more openly publish the results of > developer summits.
