@BethGriggs If you are coming to the summit can I put you in as a session facilitator given all the work you've done in this area?

I had a chance to meet @No9 via OSS EU and I'm eager to partner with Node folks as they consider embarking on this journey :). My research is focused on working with communities to detect, measure, and mitigate risk in software components. Node has a lot of advantages in terms of the quality of data you have to work with compared to some other environments.

Here's background on the previous phase of a project I did to measure risk in Debian and this is the presentation I did at OSS EU to begin to track down sources of risk. I'd be happy to help in whatever ways make sense.

I've put up a draft schedule here. Based on feedback from last time, I've tried to fit everything into one track. I had to shorten a few sessions from what they requested.

Here are the recordings.

• Main room - Day 1 - Before lunch - Recording
• Main room - Day 1 - After lunch - Recording
• Main room - Day 2 - Before lunch - Recording

I've also added the recording links in the schedule sheet. Sorry, we couldn't record the sessions in the second room. Hopefully next time we'll prepare better.

I'll close this issue as the event has passed. Thanks, everyone for being part of it and for the support.
