For example I guess a least a few Summit attendees might have joined the
the EPEL hackfest discussions if they were scheduled for a specific date

rawhide discussions as well. But that of course would have required that
we say "EPEL discussions Friday 10 - 12, room 310; be there is you are
interested; we'd like to have your input how to move on with EPEL".
FWIW, we did, but we didn't widen the audience for that beyond
fedora-isv-sig-list.
One of the few Fedora lists I'm not (yet) subscribed to ;-)
In any case: It was just meant as example. Nevertheless:
We pulled the ISV, EPEL, and Java packaging stuff together within the
weeks just before the Summit, and we didn't advertise the sessions as
widely as possible. I'd thought this article was going to be in the Red
Hat Free Press (daily newspaper from the Summit), which would have
helped a bit:
http://www.redhatmagazine.com/2008/06/19/fedoras-extra-packages-for-enterprise-linux-%e2%80%93-the-extra-mile/
It was in the Free Press IIRC. But the basic information "there are
people from EPEL in the Fedora hackfest room; join them if you want to
discuss or help with EPEL; those with the EPEL-Hat on their head are the
ones you need to talk to (¹). There is also a two our discussion
scheduled for 2 pm on Friday in room foo; feel free to join it" was
missing afaics. :-/
(¹) which IMHO would be important; if you came into the Fedora room as
non-Fedora-contributor you might feel lost and unwelcomed quickly as the
groups on the different tables looked busy; at least some people in
situation like that just leave instead of poking someone to say "hey, I
want to talk to the guys from EPEL" (just a example)

While at it: Karsten, thx for doing the EPEL talk on the summit itself.
I could not join it, but I suppose it was great and helped a lot!
