Summary

Over 600 attendees, ranging from new developers to seasoned software entrepreneurs, gathered in London for the second GitHub Satellite event, which offered two days of sessions aimed at enhancing projects through shared skills and knowledge. GitHub CEO Chris Wanstrath opened the event by announcing new developments, including the GitHub Marketplace, designed to streamline workflows. Sessions, led by representatives from companies such as Zalando, SAP, HSBC, Bloomberg, and the Raspberry Pi Foundation, were divided into "Build" and "Grow" tracks, focusing on tool and community development globally. For those unable to attend, session videos are available online, and early bird tickets for GitHub's flagship conference, GitHub Universe, are on sale for the event in San Francisco, promising workshops and networking opportunities.
