Autumn tradition to host GitTogether, two days of unconference where Git developers, enthusiasts, and users gather at Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, California to share ideas on future directions of Git and to discuss the tools that support the larger ecosystem. This year was no exception. More than 55 people showed up for GitTogether 2011, and one thing that is notable is that at many of the attendees’ $DAY_JOB, the combination of Git on the desktop with Gerrit Code Review on the server side has become the standard set-up to run development work.
Last week around 30 Git developers and users gathered for GitTogether ‘10 at Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, CA for three days of hacking, sharing ideas, and making plans for the future of Git and its supporting tool ecosystem. This was the third time we’ve hosted a GitTogether, and we were really excited about the turnout this year.
The schedule for the three day conference was determined in “unconference” style, with topics for discussion originally suggested on the wiki and later developed in-person through sticky notes posted on a white board. Attendees also took advantage of the #gittogether IRC channel on freenode and an Etherpad server hosted by the OSUOSL, allowing individuals who couldn’t make it in-person to at least have a virtual presence.
17 members of the OpenSource community got together in Google to share ideas and present innovations around Git. Shawn Pearce presented Gerrit Code Review to the OpenSource Git community (Ver. 2.0 - released on the 26 of January) whilst Scott Chacon presented an innovative Ruby library to use Apache Cassandra as Git storage backend.
First official conference of the Git developers community organised by Shawn Pearce at GooglePlex in Mountain View - CA. Shawn Pearce presented for the first time the slides of the JGit project that will soon become the foundation of Gerrit Code Review for high-performance and scalability Git and Code Review backend. Tom Preston-Werner officially introduced as well a new web-site called GitHub, defined "a social layer over Git".
