Hey guys, does anybody have any news from Montreal? Did anything interesting happen or been decided?

Please share this info here if you have any. I have been very busy this weekend so I couldn't watch the live broadcast or listen to it on the YouTube. I am very interested by this and can't find anything.

Thanks!
I've only managed to look at the livestream for a hour or so. I did not like the quality of it either, and occasionally there were some technical difficulties (no sound), which was not what I had expected. However, aside from that there were some great talks and some that we're not so great (with a controversial slide or two). The presentations were supposed to be not confrontational to the viewers, but okay.

The point of this workshop is (was) not for a decision to be found. It was rather more about presenting and discussing. Also, there is no concurrent problem and thus there is no need for a 'decision'. People will try to implement what they want. However, we've yet to see what the Core team is planning to do.

Yes, I've been watching the whole morning. I got the same feeling, many, many interesting things but like they know why did they come, more to discuss than to bring important decisions. Everybody are also very calm, looks to me that they are not pushed by time to bring a final decision.

I mean after all, they are probably right. The best is to think through stuff very throughly and not bring any fast decisions, the blocks are even now semi full. This doesn't meant that this can't change very fast. I think that the Hong Kong conference will be much different than this one. This conference will probably bring much more action.
