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
