The 2nd Virtual Git Contributors’ Summit

Team,

In 2019, we had our first all-virtual Git Contributor Summit (Virtual
Summit ‘19) (see [*1*] for the email that kicked off the organization of
that event). In early 2020, we had a hybrid in-person/virtual Summit in
Los Angeles, and later in the year a virtual event focusing on Inclusion &
Diversity organized by Google and Microsoft folks.

We haven’t had a technology-focused summit since March 2020, and a lot is
going on that would be good to talk about. Let’s have another Virtual
Summit.

Just like the Virtual Summit ‘19, we can use Zoom (thanks GitHub, for
letting us use your company license!), spread it out over two days, during
the most timezone friendly range of  15:00-19:00 UTC/17:00-21:00
CEST/11am-3pm EST/8am-noon PST.

To coordinate this event, we’ve started a Google Spreadsheet where you can
indicate date preferences for the event and propose topics for
discussions.

To avoid possible spam from sending the link publicly, please send an
email to git-contributors-summit@googlegroups.com to receive the link to
the spreadsheet.

Ciao,
Johannes

I would like to thank the people who registered already (already 20 people
so far, Bcc:ed!).

Since I will be taking time off for the remainder of September, and since
I don't want to leave y'all gentle people hanging, I tallied up the
available dates, and we got a winner: October 19th/20th 2021, 15:00-19:00
UTC it is!

As announced earlier, it will be run Unconference style via Zoom, with
October 20th being the "spill-over day".

All of you who want to contribute to the Virtual Git Contributors' Summit
but haven't registered yet, please do not hesitate to reach out to
git-contributors-summit@googlegroups.com to get a link to the Google
Spreadsheet (on which you can also propose topics).

This is going to be fun!

Ciao,
Dscho
