I did not post to this mailing list about the Gerrit Code Review user summit because I did not consider it to be on-topic to this list. We do not normally discuss Gerrit Code Review here. Most users and developers on this list only work on git-core (aka git.git aka the thing Junio maintains). Gerrit... is a different animal. :-)

If you are interested in attending, it is Saturday November 10th and Sunday 11th in Mountain View, CA. The user summit is invite only, but you may request an invitation at http://goo.gl/5HYlB.

I have no further information about the potential GitTogether than anyone else. IIRC there is a suggestion in this thread about hosting something in the EU sometime in early next year, with someone at GitHub acting as organizer.

Google chose to run only a Gerrit user summit this year because of the mix of attendees at the last GitTogether. The group was about 60-70% Gerrit users/admins. We felt it was time to host something specific for that audience.
