| 20 | ### Proposal of a Gerrit User Summit 2022 face-to-face in London |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Based on the feedback of the Gerrit User Summit 2021, [GerritForge](https://www.gerritforge.com) |
| 23 | proposed to have a Gerrit User Summit face-to-face again in London |
| 24 | at [CodeNode](https://www.codenode.live/). |
| 25 | |
| 26 | The format would be similar to the [Summit in 2019](https://gerrit.googlesource.com/summit/2019/+/0747f3d79531be2939602e19611b1b8d8ed6e083/schedule-usa.md) |
| 27 | in Sunnyvale CA, where an AV streaming channel will allow people |
| 28 | to attend and participate remotely. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | SAP and Google will attend and present at the Summit but only remotely. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | ### Gerrit v3.7 release plan draft |
| 33 | |
| 34 | The release plan for Gerrit v3.7 has been shared, and there |
| 35 | consensus that it can go ahead with the review and approval. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | Google is focusing on closing down the in-flight features on master, |
| 38 | GerritForge will be finalising the features for rendering |
| 39 | changes imported as refs from other Gerrit setups, which would help the |
| 40 | [JGit project](https://www.eclipse.org/jgit/) in moving their repositories to GerritHub.io. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | Luca will bump the JGit version on Gerrit master ASAP, so that it |
| 43 | can be tested on the ground before starting the stable-3.7 branch. |
| 44 | |
| 45 | ### Public sector use of Gerrit |
| 46 | |
| 47 | Luca shared the research done about the use of open-source in the UK: |
| 48 | - [General guidance on the approach to open-source for UK Digital Services](https://www.gov.uk/guidance/be-open-and-use-open-source) |
| 49 | - [MoJ open positions for SCM admins with Gerrit experience](https://www.digitalmarketplace.service.gov.uk/digital-outcomes-and-specialists/opportunities/4443) |
| 50 | |
| 51 | The two above resources give evidence that Gerrit is used in the UK |
| 52 | and the [Government Digital Services](https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/government-digital-service) |
| 53 | encourage the use of open-source in developing their platform. |
