Topic: How can companies respectfully engage contractors to work on Git?
Leader: Emily Shaffer


* Google hired Collabra to work on patches on the list
* Should they be doing something specific to indicate they're pursuing these
	patches on behalf of someone else?
* Taylor: So long as they understand there's no obligation from the project to
	accept the work
* Having a short note in the cover letter to indicate who is sponsoring the work
	(if it's not already obvious). Mention during review if you think there's a
	conflict of interest.
