I'll send the broken-out notes for each topic in a response to this message for posterity, and so folks can continue the discussion on the list.

Like in previous years, if you have any feedback on how the Contributor's Summit went please feel free to share it with me here, or off-list.

I hope to see everybody in person next year!

Thanks, Taylor
