Hi again,
Following up on my earlier announcement[1], I have some more details for
the Contributor Summit at Git Merge this year:
When: September 14th, 12-5pm CDT (UTC-5)
Where: Convene (131 S Dearborn) Chicago, Illinois, USA
What: Contributor's Summit
Who: All contributors to Git or related projects in the Git ecosystem
are invited; if you're not sure if you qualify, please ask!
Registration is now open, though we haven't posted a link to it on the
site. If you'd like to register early, you can use the following link
below:
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/git-merge-2022-tickets-386396170347
If you are planning on attending the Contributor's Summit, please send
me an email off-list for a special code to use when registering. This
covers both the Contributor's Summit and main registration, so don't
register twice :-).
As with previous years, you'll have the option of attending for free, or
paying the $125 conference fee (all of which goes to Software Freedom
Conservancy). Please indicate your preference when emailing me, since
there is a separate code for each.
If you need financial assistance with covering travel / lodging costs,
please reach out to the Git PLC at <git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> as soon as
possible.
A few other pieces of miscellanea:
- We're still working out the exact details of an A/V setup for the
Contributor's Summit, but the plan is (as in years past) to have
some way for folks to be able to join remotely.
- We'll have some sort of experts panel at the main conference. The
exact format is TBD, but if you are interested in being on that
panel, please let me know off-list.
- We have a Google Spreadsheet that is being used to collect and vote
on topics to discuss at the Contributor's Summit[2]. If you'd like a
link to that, please also contact me off-list.
The main conference schedule and agenda should be up sometime this week
at the usual location below:
