SIG Contributor Experience Deep Dive

" summary

SIG Contributor Experience coordinates contributor tools and processes across Kubernetes: it launches the contributor hub at k8s.dev, moving mailing lists to kates.io and G Suite to scale about 50 calendars, is migrating from the legacy CLA to EasyCLA (soft launch), and uses devstats PR latency dashboards to spot repos needing reviewers. Events shift from formal summits to social gatherings (a contributor bake-off proved popular) after a survey shows ~10% want structured content and ~80% want social interaction; Slack reaches ~140,000 users.
