+## Registration

+The preferred method of contributions & review is done via Gerrit.

+TVL’s Gerrit supports single sign-on (SSO) using a GitHub, StackOverflow or
+GitLab.com account.
+
+Additionally if you want prefer not to use an SSO option or wish to have a
+backup authentication strategy in the event of downed server or a keycloak
+issue (recommended), you can create a TVL-specific LDAP account on the Gerrit
+instance by following these instructions:
+
+1. Be a member of `#tvl` on [hackint][].
+2. Clone the depot locally (via `git clone "https://cl.tvl.fyi/depot"`).
+3. Create a user entry in our LDAP server in [ops/users][ops-users].
+
+   The entry can be generated using [//web/pwcrypt](https://signup.tvl.fyi/).
+4. Create a commit adding yourself (see e.g.
