Notes from the Git Contributor's Summit, 2025

It was great to see folks both virtually and in person last week at the Contributor's Summit!

After travelling back home and catching up on things that I missed while at Git Merge, I had a chance to polish up the notes we took during the Contributor's Summit to share with the list.

The notes are available (as read-only) in Google Docs, too, for folks who prefer to view them there are the following link:

At the Contributor's Summit, we discussed the following topics (with topic leaders in parentheses):

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 look forward to seeing everyone at future Contributor's Summit events in the future!

Thanks, Taylor
