Session Notes

It would be really helpful if participants could take notes during the sessions so these valuable discussions are recorded for posterity, and for those who couldn't attend the sessions.

We recommend using Etherpad to take notes, since it allows everyone in a session to brain-dump their thoughts into it in real-time. It's really cool.

Please place a link to your notes below.
