IMO, the last GitTogethers had the right mixture between talks, breakout sessions and free space for personal discussions. The only thing that currently comes to my mind which could improve is the long physical distance between conference, accommodation and evening dining location. Shorter distances could probably be achieved more easily in Berlin. The most important thing for me were the direct discussions with other developers. > Finally, is there any feedback on the times and places - especially > the Berlin one.

I did not plan to attend the GitTogether this year but if it was in Berlin I would do so. Maybe this is similar for others that are not able to make the long way to Mountain View. Cheers Heiko
