Hello everyone!

Thank you so much for everyone that attended [Polkadot Summit: Barcamp in Lisbon](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/polkadot-summit-barcamp-submit-agenda-topics-30-nov-1-dec/669).

I am so honoured to have been in your gigabrained midst, and it is a true pleasure to be a part of the grand movement we call Polkadot, of which you are so crucial parts.

**🔥 Now begins the real work of the summit - the aftermath, where we take all the ideas, problem solving and debates, and cook it down to manifested action to improve Polkadot.**

# TO DO NOW:

## Ensure that as many of the workshops have a discussion _summary_ with _actions_ that are _clear_ and _owned_.

To achieve this is no small task - there were 23 workshops covering a staggering range of industry expert domains, with over a 110 participants in total. Just summarising would be a herculean task, and taking action even more staggering. This is the category of effort for which we all gravitated to this space - to leverage to power of the crowd and the many. Thus:

## The collaborative post-summit action workspace:

[https://polkadot-summit.notion.site/Polkadot-Summit-Outcomes-Tracker-aba3d9019f5945a8bea2fea8858c9649](https://polkadot-summit.notion.site/Polkadot-Summit-Outcomes-Tracker-aba3d9019f5945a8bea2fea8858c9649)  
Here, I have created a Notion workspace to collaborate on our collective action plan. The note takers have been dropping in their notes since the summit, and 9 hosts have now summarised and broken down their discussions into actions, and now it is grown enogh to share here on the forum.

# Have it it!

I have written some initial todos to keep us directed, but fundamentally, I am not here to lead, only to steward - decentralisation comes from us all owning this and I cannot tell you the best way forward, as I know very little of these subjects when push comes to shove.

Out in the normal world, I feel like a smart person, but being in the presence of you all is extremely humbling and this Notion is just a first scaffold and early prototype to what I hope will be a Polkadot Summit, that is **eventually completely owned, coordinated and led by itself**. Just like the Polkadot network itself strives to be independent, with Parity as just one of the many, many churning cogs.

It has been a very long week hunting contact information and my CTRL, V, and C keys are now only intermittently working due to extreme wear, and I am rather emotional, so I apologise for this completely excessively poetic hymn to a Notion workspace, but over the course of this week it has grown into a symbol of why I am here, why you are here, sailing the pink seas - to fix a world ailing with coordination problems.

Soooo… if you are gung-ho and a fellow Notion strategy poet with a passion for human coordination, **you are cordially invited to join in and grab the wheel - email me at _[mattias@parity.io](mailto:mattias@parity.io)_ and I will invite you to the workspace.** You are especially welcome if you are not at the Summit! (If you are a host, you should have access to the workspace already)
