"In a question and answer session, many of the concerns that had been surfacing in the community arose as well, and the impression was that the Bitcoin Foundation had been very successful in solidifying its base of support in the Bitcoin community."
^^^Hey is this true, are we one big happy family again?
hahaha lets open a foundation, its good business

Being heavily involved with conferences is certainly one way for the current foundation to remain relevant. I would have loved to have been present at that Q and A session.
