Then don't call it a Summit.  Call it an "opportunity for the RH Desktop 
team to talk with some number of the other Fedora people in order to 
further mutual understanding".  :)

I think Paul's point is that if some amount of Fedora is going to be 
right in Red Hat's engineering backyard, where a lot of the RH Desktop 
team is, that is an opportunity that should be seized to do SOMETHING 
rather than ignored.
