Han-Wen: heard that in Europe, there is interest in open source from the Public Sector, as it quells fears over being dependent on US companies. Does anyone know of public sector Gerrit users?

Han-Wen will document quarterly objectives from Google.
SAP is busy moving Gerrit deployment to k8s. Gerritforge is focused on JGit changes affecting performance.
