We have been kicking around the thought of reviving the GitTogethers like back in the olden days (I only know them from hearsay), in Mountain View or Sunnyvale at the Google Campus, but we have not yet spent enough thought to make it so. I think twice a year is fine for the community and has not reached the point of diminishing returns. As most contributors are from North America (estimated), I would not mind a conference somewhere here. I'd be looking forward to Brussels next February! > - format > > For those who haven't attended before, it's basically 25-ish Git > (and associated project) developers sitting in a room for a day > chatting about the project.

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. Stefan
