Yeah, that's an interesting concept. In addition to amortizing travel for one or maybe two Git devs who are mentors, it also allowed us to pull in other open source folks who were tangential to Git (e.g., I remember Joey Hess of git-annex fame came one year). On the other hand, we can only send two mentors to the summit, so there is no draw at all for the rest of the folks. :) Timing-wise, it may be getting a little close to plan this year, as it's exactly 2 months away (and I'd think many people, especially coming from Europe, would already have made travel plans). We could start next year, but that's 14 months away. > > Personally I think the way is fine; we could collect topics in advance on > > the list to have a head start, but the whiteboard is totally fine, IMHO. > > Yeah for the GitTogethers we used to collect topics in advance, but we > still had a whiteboard and voted on them at the beginning of the > actual GitTogether. Heh. Every year I ask for topics on the list, and the response leads me to believe that people are happy white-boarding in the morning. ;) -Peff
