I'm sharing the notes here so that people who could not attend can catch up, and so we can continue the discussions on the list. The shared notes are also in Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15gDNTjCh9-aQ1ES2MDot5_Qnxj6vRMGwxbH7eixxT84/edit The topics covered in the replies below are: - Security mailing list and security process - Git 3.0 - Documentation - Outreachy sponsorship - What can we do next with pluggable ODB? - AI contribution policy - Protocol v2 for pushes I've lightly edited the notes for readability and kept the speaker attributions. These are discussion notes, rather than a verbatim transcript; please reply with corrections or anything the notes missed. Release dates and reports of work in progress reflect the discussion at the summit. Each topic has its own reply to this message so that follow-up discussion can stay with the relevant notes. If you have feedback about the summit itself, please share it here or with me off-list. Thanks, Taylor
