This presence +was highly welcomed and signals a strong internal interest in the Gerrit project's +ongoing development, as also demonstrated by the growing number of commits in +Gerrit 3.13. + +In terms of leadership, community members Dani, Matthias, and Luca connected +with Ivo, the new manager of the Gerrit team. This introductory meeting was +positive, and the community looks forward to a fruitful collaboration as the +project progresses. + +## Technical Insight: The MCP Server +The technical agenda featured strong sessions, notably the presentation on the +MCP server, which was extremely well-received. The technology demonstration +prompted an insightful community discussion. + +Dani also suggested that it would be nice if the MCP server would learn some SSH +commands to provide further functionalities. + +## FOSDEM Attendance +Sadly, this time round we did not manage to organize in time, we'll target +attending with a Gerrit stand in 2027. + +## Project Updates + +### Website Redesign +Dani will try to abstract the plain english from the HTML pages to YAML files. + +### Project Logo (Diffy) +We're still discussing this, Luca is planning to start a poll in the coming days with a carousel of the logos proposed in the past few years at the Gerrit events. \ No newline at end of file
