It was held on 20-Oct-2020 and we did a demo on Trusted Contributor CI project where public (test-)pull request run unit and acceptance tests on entirely public infrastructure and report the [results in public](https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-testing/pull/306/checks. Thanks to [David](https://github.com/DavidS), [Dany](https://github.com/carabasdaniel/) and [Michael](https://github.com/michaeltlombardi) for the demo.
