* Next Git conference or meeting @ 2014-09-02 6:21 Christian Couder 2014-09-02 7:20 ` Luca Milanesio 0 siblings, 1 reply; 12+ messages in thread From: Christian Couder @ 2014-09-02 6:21 UTC (permalink / raw) To: git Hi everyone, It looks like there will be no Git conference or Git developer meeting this year. Anyway, next year Git will be 10 years old and it would be nice if something could be organized. A few week ago, I was at the LinuxCon North America in Chicago [1]. I love going to a LinuxCon and giving a presentation there. It was my 4th LinuxCon (2 in Europe and 2 in North America) and they are always very well organized. They also often host other open source/free software conferences like for Mesos [2] or Gstreamer [3]. So I wonder if we could officially ask if they could host and help organize a Git conference next year. In fact I already discussed this with a few of the LinuxFoundation people at the LinuxCon and they looked happy with that. I also talked with a few Github guys there who were also happy with that. Github was a gold sponsor of the LinuxCon as well as Google [1], and Atlassian was a platinum sponsor of the co-located MesosCon [2]. So it looks like many companies involved with Git like the LinuxFoundation and already collaborate with it. At the LinuxCon they said that the next LinuxCon North America is planned for August 2015 in Seattle. Seattle is a not very far away from were Junio, Shawn and Linus live, and Linus usually comes to the LinuxCon North America, so I suppose that it would not be a big burden for them to come if they want to. As many Linux kernel developers have been contributing to Git, especially at the beginning, which was very important for the success of Git, I think it would be nice if some of them could easily take part of a Git conference where we would celebrate the 10th anniversary of Git. To sum up it would be a very nice common ground for both companies and developers, and it would be much easier to organize with the great help and experience of the LinuxFoundation. Best, Christian.

Well, the fact that Seattle is inconvnient might not matter that much because apparently large numbers of Europeans are on vacation in August, and some of them are already complaining that the Plumbers Conference is going to be colocated with LinuxCon in Seattle. :-) The Linux Foundation will be hosting its Collaboration Summit (which is like LinuxCon, but which is invitation only to members of developers community and LF members) in at the Hyatt Santa Rosa August 21-25. Folks would fly in to San Fracisco, but then you would need to get up to the Napa Valley, which means renting a car or taking a bus up to Santa Rosa. So that's a bit of a disadvantage, but once you get up there, it's quite nice. If this is something that folks are interested in, I work with Angela pretty closely, since I organize the Kernel Summit, so I'm happy to put folks in touch with her. But before I do that, I have one other question. Has the Git conference/meeting outgrown Google's facilities? Is that an option?

Oops, sorry, I meant to say April 21-25; hence four months earlier than August, avoiding the European vacation season, and also requiring a flight into SFO.

I am ok with having the GitCon at Hyatt Santa Rosa around April 21-25 if people prefer or if it makes it easier for the LinuxFoundation. It's true that it can be cheaper for Europeans as it may be easier to find a free place to crash at (hi John!) And April 21-25 is closer to the anniversary date. On the other hand there might be fewer people around because the Collaboration Summit is invitation only. > If this is something that folks are interested in, I work with Angela > pretty closely, since I organize the Kernel Summit, so I'm happy to > put folks in touch with her.

As far as I know, the big problem with using Google's facilities is that someone working for Google needs to be involved and spend a lot of time talking and organizing things with other Google people. And unfortunately the Git developers working for Google are usually very busy with other things like working on what they are supposed to work at Google. Shawn used to organize the GitTogether meetings, but he has been involved in Gerrit during the last years and therefore cannot do it anymore. That's why IMHO our best option is to have things organized by the LinuxFoundation. We could also ask Github to organize everything as for the Git merge 2013, but there are other benefits to the LinuxFoundation. It is a neutral organization that is used to dealing with competing companies, and as it could colocate us with a linux kernel meeting it would make it easier for some kernel developers to come. Best, Christian. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread

I think he was really referring to airfare. SFO is a major US airport with decent direct route coverage to major sections of Europe. I think getting to Seattle often requires landing at JFK or Dulles or SFO and then connecting with a US domestic flight. That adds significant travel time and cost to any trip. > And April 21-25 is closer to the anniversary date.

I don't think we have outgrown Google's facilities, but I could be wrong. We can usually accommodate about 150 people for an event if we plan ahead for it. We just can't surprise the catering folks with a large same day food order. :) But yes, I have been busy with $DAY_JOB and that has cut back on my time for community event planning. I hadn't realized Git is turning 10 next year. Just been too busy using Git to pay attention to its upcoming anniversary. Let me talk to some folks at Google and see if we can organize something here in Mountain View, or help the LinuxFoundation sponsor something. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread

Christian mentioned that he talked to some GitHub folks at LinuxCon. Those folks have also started thinking about things. :) Things are still very tentative at this point, but I think they are considering something like the Git Merge conference we did earlier, and doing it in June in Europe (maybe Paris). I know they were going to reach out to Linux Foundation folks to try to jointly plan something, but I don't know if that has happened yet. So it seems there are a lot of different people who are all potentially interested in planning or taking part, and they should all be talking to each other. :) -Peff ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread

It would be very easy for me to come if it was in Paris, but I'd rather make it easy for Junio, Linus, you guys, and other contributors, unless everyone wants to take advantage of the conference to visit Paris :-) > So it seems there are a lot of different people who are all potentially > interested in planning or taking part, and they should all be talking to > each other. :) Maybe we should have a mailing list for that.
