@elioqoshi you have photos of the agendas of both days after we were done, right? Could you post them here for reference? :slight_smile:

Especially the parallel session of “Design tools and processes” and “Manifesto” was good: One very general, where people new to the community can also participate. And one very deep, meta-level. :+1: We should keep that in mind for future summits as we are more people than is feasible for having a single track. :slight_smile:
