@Rfarrand I just updated the action item list for the task about remote participation and reaching out to remote attendees is in there :) I believe by next week we will have a final schedule, and an idea about sessions which will be offered for remote attendees. I will then update our wiki schedule and start promoting it.

@Rfarrand Two things that I would help add to the first email that you would send out: Invitation for T150152 and information about proposing an activity for the unconference and link to the summit unconference page (will work on it this week).

Looking at the calendar, there is not much margin:

1. Dec 12-16
2. Dec 19-23
3. Jan 2-6

(The last week of December is Winter Holiday).

The main topics for each of these weeks could be:

1. Pre-scheduled session and how to participate.
2. How the Summit and "the third day" will work.
3. Logistics for a good beginning of the event and last details.

Slight delay, but I will begin drafts for these communications tomorrow.

I am starting to work on the email draft that would contain information about unconference, remote participation, get stuff done day and pre-summit event. (as I will take a long time to make it look sane and beautiful :D)

2nd participant email has been sent, text can be found here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Developer_Summit/2017/Email3
It has also been linked to the participant info page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Developer_Summit/2017/Information_for_participants

Last email the week before the summit and then we can close this task, will draft it either next week or the following week.
