A currently mostly empty draft is there:

https://github.com/git/git.github.io/blob/master/rev_news/drafts/edition-101.md

Feel free to comment in this issue, suggest topics, suggest persons to interview, or use the edit button (that looks like a pen) to edit and create a pull request with the changes you would like.

Let's try to publish this edition on Wednesday July 26th 2023!

Thanks!

@jnareb thanks for the suggestion! I will take a look.

chriscool commented

@jnareb the article I wrote is indeed about the thread you suggested. Thanks again!

jnareb commented

I wonder if it be worth including the series of instructions on how to obfuscate timestamps in Git called Git-Privacy - see also discussion on git mailing list.

jnareb commented

We should mention Git Virtual Contributor's Summit 2023 which is this year (?) replacing in-person Git Merge, hosted by GitHub every year since at least 2015 until 2022.

My links have landed in 02db9c0 (and one release announcement for gitolite). Minor fixes in 8e980a6.

@jnareb thanks for your links!

We have an email reply to the draft email I sent by Kristoffer Haugsbakk about one of the links:

https://lore.kernel.org/git/a5c359d6-6c21-489c-a4a3-a21219ab727a@app.fastmail.com/

Should we keep the link discussed in that email?

Yeah, I will take care of mentioning it. (Also not sure there was a Git Merge in 2021 due to Covid. BTW I think there was also one in Berlin in 2013.)

I agree that the article does not provide enough reason on why one would want an empty commit, and is so short that it probably better be removed.

@jnareb I had no time to look at this, but I copied your comment on the issue for the next edition. Thanks!
