According to what I've read so far, I guess it is - the issue at hand
for me, is if that is going to be worth the travel and lodging
expanses, as the most part of the conference is going to be like a
"marketing event" I might wait for something more focused and
development oriented.

I'm used to hard-core, tear down xp ubuntu developer summits, in where
definite implementation plans  are the result, so QA and Documentation
efforts can commence almost as soon as the implementation plan is in
place. However, if that conference is going to be educational enough
wrt to meego core platform development, then I might in anyways.

Members of the development community who have presented skills and
commit to undertake the implementation in the time frame specified by
the distro drivers.

In most of the cases it is, but more often then not it can arise from
users feeling and itch but not always sure how to scratch it, for that
sometimes specification ideas are taken from a "suggestion box" or
alike, usually an idea page on the wiki.

It is in my opinion if it is a developer's summit, a-la Ubuntu. In the
format planned for the upcoming conference I guess it may be less
suited.
