+
+
+During two full days, spread over 10 different meeting rooms, both [pre-planned](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1G07-f2pwAzEztZMpuxcCW3EWFS1pEX4ShNbsg91Qqjw/edit?gid=0#gid=0) and ad-hoc [discussions][notes] took place on a very wide range of topics.
+
+Many many long standing issues have been unblocked. Many new ideas were discussed, both small and big. Conflicts were resolved. Plans were made. And many personal connections were formed and improved. ❤
