   Some points:   
      
   Very good bootcamp, like the old ones, but without the official presence   
   of users club. So: how the needs of the actors could be officialy heard?   
      
   Camiel explain very clearly the strategy choosed, and explain the way   
   users should go. How can we do if this strategy is not good for us?   
      
   Darya says "our actual goal is making our customers go to x86". Is it   
   sure all the VMS users can go as fast as possible to x86?   
      
   I know people who need bare metal solutions, there were someone at the   
   bootcamp who ask this question. No answer. It is not the strategy.   
      
   Presentation of the best (for VSI) new solution: going to the cloud (VSI   
   Cloud offer based on Oracle cloud) and final possibility being some   
   Saas. Not any discussion about this strategy except "the times are   
   changing, we go with them".   
      
      
   Every point has somehow strong justifications. But I think we are   
   missing a more collaborating brainstorming about the needs, pace of   
   evolutions, goals...   
      
   In the old times, when we had a strong world wide compagny, and when   
   everything was at its beginning, ok. Now there is a complex ecosystem   
   trying to rebound. Perhaps another way of building strategies could help.
