What a great idea!

I'd really like to participate but unfortunately I'm currently on vacation and got a very bad internet connection.

Hopefully there will be some more meetings in the future...

I just started working with IBM i and this extension has been such a big help!
I plan on attending to see how I can help contribute to the git extension. I'm hoping to add functionality for branching, checkouts, and merging.

@RobBoeckermann That's awesome. I will make sure we have time to talk about that.

I will attend the discussion, and because I have been using this extension since its first release I hope I will be of help. Thanks Liam

Excellent! I am glad that you'll be coming.
