I would be keen to discuss:

1. Layout

• Architecture: how different layout modes communicate with each other (layout/measure/inline_sizes methods, etc)
• Direct use of Taffy for Flexbox/CSS Grid/non-flow

2. Licensing

• Possibility of more new servo code being MIT/Apache 2.0 licensed (or MIT/Apache 2.0/MPL tri-licensed) for interop with the wider Rust UI ecosystem.
• (Table layout code might be a good trial case if we can get consensus from Martin/Oriol/Rahki about reliscensing the existing code as MIT/Apache2.0/MPL)

Potentially also about text/font stuff if there is time.
