@chriscool and others: I supplied a first version of a contributor summit summary (perhaps much too detailed, and containing some trash). Please edit/refine/delete :-).

Thanks @mjaix! I think it should go into "Discussions" -> "General" at the top of the page. "Other News" and below is for shorter news.

Otherwise I will work on it this week end. Also don't worry about the names. I have them all, so I will be able to complete that part.

By the way I don't remember people talking about Open Source Hackathons in London and New York in April/May. Do you know who talked about that or are there links somewhere about that? Was it Charles Bailey (https://www.linkedin.com/in/hashpling)?

Yes, it was Charles. I've been in contact with him and other organizers at Bloomberg. I need to send a message to the list seeing who might be interested in participating.

That would be great! Thanks in advance!

@chriscool @mjaix My links are in. Thanks for the great section on Git Merge, @jnareb!

WIP in #230 pull request

[jnareb]

Could we delay sending Git Rev News edition 24 a bit? A have a few larger items in the back-queue, but I'll have time for it in the evening CEST (in a 6h or so).

[chriscool]

@jnareb ok to delay it until this evening.

[jnareb]

I'm working on doing Git Merge 2017 report, based on blogs and my own watching streamed contents of some of lectures. Currently at 3rd session, about GVFS.

[jnareb]

Finished doing Git Merge 2017 report, added a few more links, did a spellcheck. Merged #230

I don't think I have now the strength for browsing though threads marked in my newsreader to select them for "Reviews" and "Support" sections. Thus I say it is ready to be sent; please check the formatting just in case.

🛌 😴

@jnareb Great, thanks! I made a lot of changes in master to hopefully fix some small problems. We can probably still improve things a bit even after the edition is announced on the mailing list, so everyone should feel free to take another look.

[jnareb]

@chriscool actually trailing double space after session titles was there deliberately; this is <br> in Markdown, and I wanted author names below title, like in http://git-merge.com/#schedule. This was removed in 153effaa2 and 744f3e241c

But this is a matter of style (especially with quotes around session titles), so it can be left either way.

Thank you a lot for those corrections. 👍

[chriscool]

Ok I will revert https://github.com/git/git.github.io/commit/153effaa2ef0d9eb5cc1672ec263bdeec0f4a762 then.

[jnareb]

Alternate solution would be to add "by " before author of session.

[chriscool]

I will let you chose and do what you prefer, then.

[jnareb]

It was easier to revert 153effa, which was done in 0128608

[chriscool]

Great, sorry about my mistake and thanks for fixing it!

This has been published for some time now, so let's close it.
