Git Merge & Git Contributors Summit 2020: a promising new decade 2020-03-25

Proposal

Around 11 members of the GitLab team were present in Git Merge 2020 and in Git Contributor Summit. GitLab itself was a sponsor. So, our commitment to the Git community is total. In this post we would like to summarize and share our experience in both and our vision of where Git is going and how our company collaborates with others to make it better every day.

The post is intended to be for the large Git community that will be interested in knowing about our involvement in the project, our ideas in the Contributors Summit and more.
