" summary

Foundation forms under the Linux Foundation, sets up working groups (resource aggregation, a persona library open‑source project, a metrics WG that is being restarted) and promises an attendee‑authored report hosted on Developer Relations Foundation GH under CC‑BY 4.0. Concrete advice: tie developer relations metrics to company OKRs (metrics tied to OKRs), instrument platforms to get identities across GitHub/Discord, use community channels (one Discord converted evaluators into pipeline) and stop reporting vanity numbers. There are 13 live questions captured.
