Thank you to everyone who expressed interest in being a mentor after my last request. So, similar to last time... Bloomberg going to host a Git hackathon over a weekend in London on the weekend of 8th-9th July 2017. Crucial to the success of the weekend will be having mentors available in both locations who can guide people on the project. Mentors should have some experience with developing for Git and should be familiar with the process and guidelines around contributing. If you are interested in being a mentor or have further questions, then please get in contact with me via email (either to this address or to cbailey32@bloomberg.net). Also, whether or not you are able to be at the weekend now would be a great time to think about any projects which you would like tackled at this event. Obviously, projects should be completable by small teams inside of a weekend. Charles. --- Git was the first project for which we hosted an "Open Source Day" and since then we've learned a lot and would like to revisit Git again. The event will involve volunteers who are usually competent programmers but who don't necessarily have experience with contributing to Git, working to contribute to the project over two days. Typically the type of tasks tackled would include documentation improvements, test case improvements and very simple bug fixes that have previously been identified as "low hanging fruit".
