| # Gerrit User Summit 2026 |
| |
| The Gerrit Community is pleased to announce the **2026 Gerrit User Summit**, hosted at the |
| [Google offices in Sunnyvale, California](location.html). |
| |
| The Gerrit User Summit is the event that brings together Gerrit admins, developers, practitioners, |
| and the whole community in one place, providing attendees with the opportunity to learn, explore, |
| network face-to-face, and help shape the future of Gerrit development and solutions. |
| |
| ## User Summit |
| |
| The Gerrit User Summit 2026 will take place in **Sunnyvale, CA** on **November 9-10** and is open |
| to anyone who wishes to attend, provided they [register to the event](https://luma.com/h8c7b5xo). |
| |
| Join the User Summit 2026 where the Gerrit community unites for two days of collaboration, |
| learning, and innovation to drive the future of code review. |
| |
| The event will also include a **JJ Mini Summit**, co-hosted with the Jujutsu community, |
| featuring talks dedicated to JJ — a testament to how well the two ecosystems complement each other |
| and thrive together. |
| |
| ## Hackathon |
| |
| Following the User Summit, **NVIDIA** is hosting a 3-day hackathon at their |
| offices in Santa Clara. |
| |
| Unlike most previous hackathons, this event is centered around a |
| single collaborative goal. We hope attendees will contribute ideas, |
| code, testing, and operational experience toward making partial |
| clones a practical replacement for Git LFS across the Git/Gerrit |
| ecosystem. |
| |
| Git LFS introduces additional infrastructure, operational complexity, |
| and workflow friction. Partial clones are intended to provide a |
| native, scalable alternative, and this hackathon is an opportunity |
| for the community to work together to close the remaining gaps. |
| |
| Whether you're a Git/Gerrit developer, maintain Git infrastructure, |
| or have operational experience with Git LFS or partial clones and can |
| help validate solutions with real-world use cases, we'd love to have |
| you join the NVIDIA hackathon. |
