I mentioned earlier[1] that plans were in the works for a developer
summit as part of Git Merge this year. I'm pleased to announce that it's
definitely happening, and it's time to RSVP so we can get an official
headcount[2]:
https://www.ticketbase.com/events/git-merge-core-contributors-summit
It will be April 4th in New York City, from 11am-5pm, and is open to
people who develop git or any of its alternate implementations, or tools
that are closely tied to git.
We have a venue that holds 25 people max. That should be enough based on
the responses I got to my earlier email. We can move to a larger venue,
but I'd have to know _very soon_. So please sign up promptly, and if you
need to wait to figure out your plans, let me know that you're maybe
interested.
There's no particular agenda for the meeting. People should show up with
some topics for discussion or presentation. There should be appropriate
seating for round-table discussion, and a projector.
The rest of the Git Merge conference will be the following day, the 5th,
with more formal talks to a bigger audience. I think there are still
speaking slots left; let me know if you'd like to give a talk to the
larger audience, and I can put you in touch with the organizers. Details
for that day are still forthcoming, but will be at:
http://git-merge.com/
when they are available.

[2] You need a password to register. My plan is to withhold it from this
email but hand it out liberally to people who are git contributors,
and it can hopefully pass by word of mouth to those who need it
without generating any spammy registrations. I'll send an email
shortly to everybody who responded to my previous announcement, but
please don't hesitate to ask for it if you would like to come.

I have a few financial logistics questions for the Git community.
I had a few people ask me earlier about travel assistance. I don't know
how much room there is in GitHub's budget for this[1]. I'll look into
getting money there, but we may also want to spend Git project funds for
this.
Does anybody have opinions on the logistics? I'm generally in favor of
transparency when it comes to handling project affairs, but my
inclination is to keep travel assistance requests and rewards off the
list to protect people's privacy. So the simplest scheme is probably
something like:
1. I'll collect names of people who are interested in assistance.
2. I'll present the list to the Git committee of Junio, Shawn, and
myself. We'll come up with a proposal for who we can fund and how
much.
3. We'll send the amount (but not the names) to the list for comment.
4. Barring objections, we'll tell Conservancy to authorized the money.
I'm open to comments on the process as a whole, or guidelines for us to
use in step 2. It's the project's money, so I'd like to give as much
opportunity as possible for people to have a say in how it's spent.

[1] There is a conference fee for the "main" day, which I think will be
$99/person, but the plan is for all proceeds to go to
the Software Freedom Conservancy. The dev summit is free. I can look
into waivers for individual git contributors, but I'd prefer to
avoid doing a blanket waiver. For those folks whose employers will
send them to a conference, I think it's nice for that money to go to
Conservancy.

That's right! So asking via unencrypted email is fine, I guess? ;)
