Hi All,
Meeting minutes of today's community managers meeting is now live at [1].
This time's headlines where:
Welcome Ivo and Terry
Recently the Git/Gerrit team at Google has undergone some changes after Ben Rohlfs left the project in 2025 to move to pastures anew. Ivo joined the Gerrit team as Engineering Manager late into 2025, he joins from the Bazel team and brings lot of Open-Source experience to the project, which is always great to see. Recently, he was joined by Terry, who will be overseeing all things Git at Google. Terry is a long standing member of the Gerrit community having worked alongside Shawn since the project was in its early stages.
Welcome Ivo and Terry, its great to have you guys join us and we’re looking forwarding to your input and support to the project.
Roadmap
We discussed whether it makes sense to still keep a roadmap out as its not updated all that often and especially with how quickly things are changing in the age of AI. We agreed that its still important to have a document to show where the project is headed in the future, but maybe it doesn’t need to be as granular as it currently is.
Website Redesign
Dani is to address Nasser’s comments and hopefully we can get this released soon.
Gerrit Contributor hangout
Nasser has been taking the lead on these, however, we agreed that we should look to advertise them better and make people aware when they’re happening.
Gitiles
As there where a few recent changes that took quite some prodding to get merged Dani brought up the subject of Gitiles maintainership. Terry confirmed that its very much used within Google because of its powerful APIs but not as much as a code browser and if there are people happy to contribute to the UX we should aim to facilitate them. We’ll review activity on the repo in a few months and decide if anything needs to be done.
