We should include #621 if it hasn't been merged in the previous edition.

@gitster thanks for suggesting privately to talk about the fact that Taylor successfully managed the project for a few weeks while he was having a vacation and everybody worked well together!

Hi @chriscool ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป

I'm looking for a 6-month Engineering internship. It would be good if I can work on anything related to Git project, as I've been working on adding support for mailmap in cat-file. But I'm also open to things like Backend Engineering Internship.

I expect to start the 6-month internship from Feb 2023 to July 2023, and if full-time, from mid-July 2023. But I can work on anything part-time starting now, and my schedule is flexible with that! :)

I have attached my resume Siddharth_Asthana_Resume.pdf

Could you please help mention the info above on the next Git Rev News? ๐Ÿ™‡๐Ÿป ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

@edith007 yeah, we will it, thanks!

Can you get all the answers? Do you agree with their understanding? How advanced are you? What questions would you ask?"

Sorry it's a quick contribution, not a real patch..

Do we have any rules about posting links to paywalled sites (with some free view capabilities, like 5 stories a month or so), like members-only Medium-powered blogs?

I'm wondering about posting the following links:

Allegedly inspired by Building Git book, written by James Coglan,
and mentioned in Git Rev News Edition 50

Added my links in 28460d2

We should include #621 if it hasn't been merged in the previous edition.

It was merged and present in Git Rev News Edition 93

https://lore.kernel.org/git/87tu2927yt.fsf@wavexx.thregr.org/ could be added to the release section.

Added link to git-assembler release 1.3 in 6e4e5e0

An idea for the links section: https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2022/12/07/introducing-the-gitlab-cli/

The only mention related to this seems like your comment about avoiding non-free Medium blogs [ ref ]. To quote it:

I have avoided adding stories on non-free parts of Medium-based blogs, because they maybe be behind a paywall for people trying to read them (free tier is 5 stories per month).

That seems to make sense to me. Having said that, in case the specific article is very compelling enough, we could consider including it but clarifying that the post is behind a paywall. I think that might be an ideal tradeoff.

@jnareb thanks for your links and for adding links suggested by others!

I am Ok with adding links to paywalled sites when there are some free view capabilities.

Sorry everyone for being late again. I should be able to send the draft late today.

I just sent the draft, but may have forgotten things discussed here. I will take another look at them soon.

@edith007 I just mentioned that you are looking for an internship in a8c708c. Let me know if it's Ok for you.

Yeah, I wanted to merge it into edition 94 but actually merged it into edition 93. Sorry @PhilipOakley and everyone.

@mjaix thanks for your fixes in d8781f7!

@mjaix I think "having a vacation" is better than "having vacation". "having vacations" (with an 's' at the end) seems correct too, but i am not sure it's correct without an 's' at the end. So I will put back the original "having a vacation".

@gitster 390020c adds a small article about the bus factor exercise that happened last November.

Also thanks @sivaraam for the interview!

@mjaix thanks for your fixes! No worries it took longer than expected. This often happens to me too.

I will take a look at your fixes.

@mjaix I think both your last comment and my last comments should have been made on the issue about edition 95 (#623) not this issue.

I will add a comment about this in the other issue.
