Thank you Greg and Augie for the feedback!

Kostia and I read over your ideas and we liked them, especially the 
"book end" part for having a summary of accomplishments at the end and 
moving the vision statements to when people have more energy to engage. 
Also, we're going to tighten up some sessions as suggested. Figuring out 
topics beforehand is something I like in principle but I think is hard 
to do in practice, though I'm happy to try some voting on topics 
beforehand (based probably on the list currently on the wiki).

Based on the feedback, we have modified the proposed schedule as a 
result (see below).

If there are no strong objections, Kostia and I will start reaching out 
to people to present various things in that "state of project" part, 
etc., and start organizing the first day topics.
