| # Gerrit Community Managers Meeting, June 6th, 2025 |
| |
| **Participants**: Daniele Sassoli, Nasser Grainawi, Matthias Sohn |
| |
| ## Gerrit User Summit Call For Papers |
| |
| CFP is progressing slowly. Despite the overall good attendance at GerritMeets |
| events, this highlights a trend of low community engagement when it comes to |
| presenting, with speakers mainly coming from a select few companies. |
| |
| Suggestions are welcome on how we make more contributors feel comfortable in |
| sharing their experiences and what incentives could be used, if any. |
| |
| ## Reducing spam on both issue tracker and gerrit.googlesource |
| |
| The issue tracker has now been locked down to limit the amount of spam users on |
| it. Membership of [repo-discuss](https://groups.google.com/g/repo-discuss) is |
| now required in order to report issues. |
| |
| We hope this will greatly help in keeping the issue tracker more relevant. |
| |
| Work is still ongoing to add new capabilities to limit spam on |
| [Gerrit](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com) itself. |
| |
| ## ESC and CM elections |
| |
| The nomination phase of the election of non-Google ESC and CM members for |
| 2025-2026 is now closed. There was a delay in getting the vote casting process |
| started, this is now ongoing and will end on the 10th of June, after which we'll |
| announce the new members on the mailing list. |
