| # Why a Gerrit User Summit in Europe? |
| |
| We want to engage with a *wider and more diverse community*, who can bring |
| new requirements and needs from of the European Gerrit Community; |
| an opportunity to *see more faces and get new ideas*. |
| From a poll for the Gerrit community here’s what we found out that some |
| 70% of the polled base would participate in a London event. There is clearly |
| a meaningful part of the Gerrit use base that is European based and not served |
| well by the US based events. |
