[rdo-list] RDO at PTG or OpenStack Summit?

As you no doubt know by now ... well, I'll just quote from another list: <quote> As you probably already know, the OpenStack Foundation is restructuring its events in 2017, splitting the activities that traditionally occurred at the Design Summit event into work sessions (at the "Project Teams Gathering" at the start of the cycle) and open community discussions ("Forum" at the OpenStack Summit in the middle of the cycle). You can learn more about this at http://www.openstack.org/ptg </quote> At the last several OpenStack Summits, the RDO community has hosted some kind of meetup, and of course last week, we had an evening gathering that we shared with the Ceph community, where we had 215 people in attendance. With OpenStack Summit splitting in two, I'm left uncertain what, if anything, I should be planning for 2017. Will most of the RDO community attend the PTG, or OpenStack Summit? At which one of these does it make the most sense to try to do an RDO gathering, if at all? I can see good arguments for each, including my personal travel plans ;-) but I would like to hear from the rest of you - if I try to do another event like what we did Tuesday evening in Barcelona, which event makes more sense?
