RE: [eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] Agenda for the e4 Summit
 | 
That's a great point John. This will play on how big a 
venue we need as well. We really need to highlight that this is intended to be a 
working event for potential contributors. If we get as many people that attended 
the e4 talk at EclipseCon, then I don't think that'll serve us 
well.
 
Doug.
Yep, makes sense. It's important to 
emphasize to all participants, that with this format you will get out of the 
summit in proportion to what you put into it.  If you show up with no 
topics and no concrete ideas, then you will likely end up just listening to 
discussions that don't interest you and give you little value in the end. If you 
show up with a good idea of what areas interest you and what you want to focus 
on, you can steer the topics accordingly and get a lot more out of it.
