Folks, I have recently been enlisted by folks at the Linux Foundation to help run a Miniconference on Git at the Plumbers Conference [*] this fall. We currently have both Junio Hamano and Josh Triplett signed up to do talks. Hopefully, though not confirmed yet, Junio will give us a brief "State of the Git Union" to set the stage for a few more presentations and some discussion about the Future of Git. Josh has volunteered to talk about a patch series manager he's been developing. Rumor also suggests that the Man In The Bowtie might make an appearance as well. With luck, Mr. Bottomley might offer a speaking role as well! We'll see. I would like to solicit one or two more solid talks from the community, either the Linux Kernel community or the Git community proper. If you are so interested, please send me some mail. Thanks, jdl [*] -- http://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/2016/
