Notes from the Git Contributor's Summit, 2025

[Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.com>]

It was great to see folks both virtually and in person last week at the
Contributor's Summit!

After travelling back home and catching up on things that I missed while
at Git Merge, I had a chance to polish up the notes we took during the
Contributor's Summit to share with the list.

The notes are available (as read-only) in Google Docs, too, for folks
who prefer to view them there are the following link:

At the Contributor's Summit, we discussed the following topics (with
topic leaders in parentheses):

 - SHA-256 and interoperability work (brian m. carlson)
 - First-class conflicts in Git? (Martin von Zweigbergk)
 - The future of history rewriting - rebase, replay and history
   (+Change-IDs) (Phillip Wood / Scott Chacon)
 - Rust (Patrick Steinhardt)
 - Pluggable object databases (Patrick Steinhardt)
 - Repository maintenance long-term goals (Taylor Blau)
 - Change-ID Header in Git (Philip Metzger)
 - Resumable fetch / push (Scott Chacon)
 - Git 3.0 (Patrick Steinhardt)
 - How can companies respectfully engage contractors to work on Git?
   (Emily Shaffer)
 - Conservancy 2025 updates (Taylor Blau)

The list of all topics proposed (and the number of votes they received)
are here:

I'll send the broken-out notes for each topic in a response to this
message for posterity, and so folks can continue the discussion on the
list.

Like in previous years, if you have any feedback on how the
Contributor's Summit went, please feel free to share it with me here, or
off-list.

I look forward to seeing everyone at future Contributor's Summit events
in the future!

Thanks,
Taylor
