Git Merge, a conference focused on uniting the Git community, is scheduled for September 14-15 in Chicago, Illinois, featuring a day of technical talks and pre-conference workshops for Git users of all levels. All proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to the Software Freedom Conservancy to support free and open-source software initiatives. Proposals for talks are currently being accepted until July 10, with notifications sent by July 22. The event is made possible through sponsorships and community partnerships, emphasizing its communal nature rather than corporate interests. The conference's promotion and organization are managed by Lee Reilly, a Senior Program Manager at GitHub Developer Relations.
