+1

I agree that it is very important also for devs being present.

Though, whole time around design summit is very constrained. It will be 
very challenging - we already have problems to get all the topics within 
4 days (some projects' sessions were shared).

If we want to handle all design topics + users feedback + there is 
intention to get cross-project cooperation topics in, we will have to 
find out a way how to do that properly so that there are not much 
triple-bookings in the same time.
