Schedule
Our focus for this summit is on creating the time and space for high quality interactions between developers and to create opportunities to make significant progress on a number of RFC clusters as prioritized by the straw poll. Please use the Day 1 etherpad document to make notes about the day itself, last minute changes and coordination issues.

Day 2

Breakout sessions
Participants in the breakout sessions should prepare to report back to the larger group the results of the breakout session with a lightning talk, and carve out a little time to plan the lightning talk. The questions that the talk should answer are:
 * What did you try to achieve?
 * What did you decide?
 * What are the next steps?

Suggested items for the unconference slots
These proposed clusters were on the proposed schedule at one point, were discussed by the planning committee, and are very good candidates to return to the schedule. Please come to the summit prepared to speak about these RFC clusters as well:

 * 1st floor is a general workspace for impromptu discussions or quieter space to get away from the crowds
 * 2nd floor is where we are holding the plenary sessions
