Let's try to publish this edition on Wednesday February 22th 2023!
Thanks!
Due to some commitments, I believe I'll not be able to find time to identify an interview candidate for this edition. So, I suppose we'll have to skip the interview for this edition.
I should note that suggestions for potential contributors who could be interviewed are most welcome. 🙂
@sivaraam no worries if we don't have an interview in this edition. Thanks for letting us know in advance!
Also sorry but I don't have ideas right now about contributors we could interview. I will think about it.
@sivaraam actually it looks like you haven't been interviewed yet. How about interviewing yourself?
My own contributions to Git have dwindled a lot these days. They're mostly just around Rev News and GSoC. So, I'd rather skip the interview for the time being :)
Also @mjaix hasn't been interviewed yet :-)
That's a good idea! If Markus is fine with giving an interview, I'll be glad to send the email right away.
Edition 100 is fast approaching. Do you have special ideas for it?
Should we ask readers about some feedback about how they would like Git Rev News to change, or if they just prefer no change?
My links have landed in 1162e04 - this includes three links that are only tangentially connected to Git itself or version control.

I wonder if it would be possible to interview Linus Torvalds (Junio C Hamano was interviewed in Git Rev News Edition #89), though the questions would have to be tailored to him. On the other hand there are various interviews with Linus that include questions about Git.

We can create a survey, though it would have to be announced at earliest in the next Rev News, as there is now no time to design it. We/I still have premium account courtesy of Survs.com (from the time of Git User's Surveys - latest in 2016).
@jnareb thanks for your links!
Yeah, interviewing Linus would be awesome!
In Git Rev News there are a few interviews with Linus, or similar material:
- Linux.com's Linus interview, on 10 years of Git, in Edition #2, in 2015
- Tech Talk: Linus Torvalds on git at Google (video), in Edition #7, in 2017 - but the talk was in 2007
- Linus Torvalds: The mind behind Linux (TED Talk), in Edition #14, in 2016
- 30 Years Of Linux: An Interview With Linus Torvalds: Linux and Git - Part 1, in Edition #75, in 2021
I might have missed some.
Also, perhaps the search for other Linus on Git talks and interviews would find more material.
