So what is it?

This repository is a central hub for organizing and tracking the OpenJS Foundation's Collaborator Summits, in-person and virtual gatherings where the active developers and maintainers of JavaScript and Node.js projects get together to collaborate, share ideas, and plan the future of their tools. Think of it like the planning document for a conference, except the "attendees" are the people who actually maintain the projects millions of developers rely on. These summits happen a few times a year in different cities around the world (and sometimes online). The repository keeps track of when and where each summit is happening, and provides a central place for people to discuss logistics, propose sessions, and coordinate who's attending. For someone involved with OpenJS Foundation projects, whether you're a core maintainer, a frequent contributor, or just deeply invested in Node.js or JavaScript ecosystem projects, this is where you'd go to find out about upcoming summits in your region, get details about registration or scheduling, and connect with other collaborators. The README lists all past summits going back to 2015 and flags the current upcoming event. If you're interested in attending or helping organize, there's also a Slack channel linked where the community discusses summit planning. The repository itself is quite lightweight, it doesn't contain code or complex tools. It's mainly a coordination point: each summit gets its own issue thread in GitHub where logistical details, agendas, and discussion happen. This keeps everything transparent and searchable for anyone who wants to understand what happened at previous summits or what's planned for the next one.
