<p>Last month, we spent two and a half days in Budapest with some of our best community friends. I think the summary of Contributor Summit was the one common complaint I heard:</p><p><i>"There was too much good content and it was really hard to decide between workshops!"</i> said everybody.</p><p>That's a really good problem to have and is the hallmark of a great experience. The key was in how the event was organized. Rather than tightly control the messaging, we simply asked our facilitators to build workshops that spoke to them and to just bring their best selves to the table ready to collaborate.</p><p>This was part of our new focus on the community contributor experience. The whole Summit practically crackled with electricity and what felt like every attendee came up to tell me how productive it was for them.</p><p> </p><p>What are we covering?</p><p>In this podcast, we talk about what made Contributor Summit special and some of the lessons we learned. We spoke with Tim Meusel, better known as <a href="https://twitter.com/BastelsBlog?lang=en">bastelfreak</a>, about the critical role that <a href="https://voxpupuli.org/">Vox Pupuli </a>plays in our ecosystem. We even talked about marathon training, dispelled some misconceptions that Ben had about his mom's cooking, and established a clear winner in the German vs. Hungarian goulash rivalry.</p><p>What else?
