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. > > I'm always a bit confused about the relationship between proposals like > this and the actual implementation work - in your example, who would > commit to actually implementing the feature or workflow suggested?

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. > So in your vision the MeeGo Conference would be where all the features > for the next version of MeeGo are decided?

In the format planned for the upcoming conference I guess it may be less suited.
