Re: late incoming: Publishing@W3C Summit Theme

Publishing@W3C is new. We have been blessed with a fresh start. In the
spirit of W3C, let's get the community involved in planning the conference.

First, we need a theme, a topic, something more than "this is a digital
publishing conference, y'all are interested in digital publishing, you
should come." Heck, we could ask  Twitter (and BISG, and existing
WG/CG/IGs) what people loved or hated about IDPF/BEA, and what they'd like
to see from a P@W3 Summit. We could each send emails to our colleagues
asking such questions. How do we find out what would bring Peter or Rena to
California? Ask them!

Once we have a theme, let's put out a call for proposals. I'd love to see
speakers and panelists I haven't heard before, but just asking the people
we already know is guaranteed to result in the usual suspects. This way we
get volunteers rather than draftees, and the level of response will give us
some information on how much enthusiasm is out there for such a conference.
