Re: The GitTogether
Hi, Also, there are many academic institutions, and at least some might be happy to host an event like this (I'm thinking especially of the Zuse institute). I had offered to help with hooking up with them several weeks ago already. So, it's really just a matter of communication. Yep. Another option could be Fraunhofer (we've got connections there), or maybe Office-2.0 or Tempelhof Airport. I've already triggered our business guys, they're quite interested. cu -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards Enrico Weigelt VNC - Virtual Network Consult GmbH Head Of Development Pariser Platz 4a, D-10117 Berlin Tel.: +49 (30) 3464615-20 Fax: +49 (30) 3464615-59 enrico.weig...@vnc.biz; www.vnc.de -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe git in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Re: The GitTogether
Hi, I am not sure to understand why having two physically disconnected events, in time and in place. Personally I'd rather see one event, maybe longer than the previous occurrences to accommodate for the user and developer centric topics. Along this line, maybe it would be best to begin the event with the user-centric topics for a couple of days and then continue with a few more days for the core developers to discuss how to implement the features highlighted by the user community, as well as other topics of interest for core devs. The users could decide to join the rest of the event and listen-in the core dev topics, or go back home. Sadly, I am not a core dev. However I do appreciate the close contact the GitTogether event so far gave to development concerns. From a user's standpoint being exposed to that was an eye opener, something that is impossible when dealing with a proprietary solution provider. Under the new proposed approach I am afraid that we would start seeing the beginning of a formal separation between Git users: devs vs users. And I would bet that core devs would stop showing up at the user event and vice-versa, and thus create that continental divide that was so far absent in the Git community, which contributes to making Git so great. Scott, I believe you and I discussed this at last year's GitTogether and we both thought the time had come for a user event. But I am not a fan of making two completely disconnected events the way it is proposed here. And as for Berlin vs Mountain View, my vote goes to Mountain View but I'll go wherever the event is held.

While the unconference format is successful, may I suggest a track/topic: Especially if there's GitHub support and participation this would be a good opportunity to discuss some GitHub specific issues in person rather than via the list or support tickets. Two come to my mind: 1) GitHub for Git developers: I certainly don't suggest a change in workflow for git.git, but you often hear Git developers say we can't do this or that on GitHub, and I think GitHub (and other projects using GitHub) could benefit from the specific point of view and input of Git developers to improve workflow support on GitHub. 2) git-scm.com: The old Git website and wiki certainly did not quite meet GitHub's demands (e.g. reliability, looks), and git-scm.com certainly does not quite meet the/all Git developers demands (e.g. list discussion based decisions and actions, separation between the free project and business related content). In person it may be easier to find a way forward which benefits all parts of the large and undefined Git community.

I think a separate event at a venue on different continent was proposed primarily to avoid annual GitTogether always at Mountain View that has been unfriendly to our European friends (mitigated somewhat by having it immediately after GSoC mentor summit). I agree it may be a better solution to that issue to move the two things to the same venue that moves from year to year. The kernel folks have the (by invitation only) Kernel Summit immediately before the wider end user conference at the same place, which used to be always Ottawa but the venue moves around from year to year these days. That is something we could learn from them. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe git in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
