| ## Engineering Steering Committee Meeting, Oct 12, 2022 |
| |
| Han-Wen Nienhuys, Luca Milanesio, Christophe Pouchet, Saša Živkov |
| |
| ### Open vs. closed default settings |
| |
| The default config grants `read` permission on `refs/heads/*`, which |
| is practical for development and testing, but not a secure default for |
| production use. Consensus that more secure defaults would be good; |
| this could take the form of a init question, "do you want default open |
| / default close" setting? |
| |
| ### Gerrit 3.7 release |
| |
| Gerrit RC 0 and RC 1 are out. Luca asks for help with writing release |
| notes. |
| |
| ### Gerrit user summit/hackathon |
| |
| Finding space was hard; end of the pandemic caused a space crunch. Due |
| to space constraints, no open call for participation to the hackathon. |
| Summit is almost fully booked for in-person attendance. Google and SAP |
| may give talks on recent work. |
| |
| |
| ### Community updates |
| |
| The move to Discord from Slack has gotten positive feedback. |
| |
| The new format for the community meeting (solicit a specific topic, |
| discussion on that topic) has garnered a lively discussion in the last |
| meeting. |
