For the people actually there, yeah..  ;)

As I have suggested for prior summits, planning for some remote
attendance would be very nice for including those that cannot travel for
whatever reason.

Sort of - I was replying mainly to the suggestion of splitting off a
-dev channel.  Ant's suggestion of -nova, -swift, etc. is along the
right lines of separation (don't split users/devs), however, I still
think this is kind of premature.  My point is that I have no problems
reading every line of the channel - y'all think the volume really that
prolific?
