Looks Good!
A few minor comments
I think GGF part of event (Monday) could have one or more
summary talks capturing essence of Sunday
Publication should include a summary web page including
a) Metadata about meeting (abstract etc.)
b) Presentations
c) Links to useful resources
d) Comments on discussions
The first Sunday, 1-October should be 2-October
