I worry that if the users meet just a day before the conference, we cannot
consolidate the input. Having the time to work out that a large share of the
users are blocked on a specific problem is an important input to the conference.
A single user may have specific problems to be addressed but if these are shared
by many others, the community needs to listen.

There is also a clarification required of what a 'user' is … cloud partners are
both users and developers …. many people involved in the community have
different hats with more/less engineering resource and more/less production
deployment experience.

I'm happy to help to consolidate the current pain points. We should gather the
data for both Diablo and Essex based deployments and it may well be that many of
them are addressed in Folsom (but we should check to be sure).
