  Well, for one, it's still supported and actively included as part of this GitLab release [1]. I'm not sure their Gitter acquisition is intended to replace Mattermost. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it was integrated as an open, zero-overhead chat solution for a gitlab project, and then have it also presented in the mattermost client as a separate room for each project. That would be a really nice integration so that as a Dev, I don't need another chat client or browser window running, but I'm also not requiring my users to install my chat client or sign in separately in order to communicate. That said, I have no idea if their plans are similar to this or not.

    We describe our plans for Gitter / Mattermost in this blog post: https://about.gitlab.com/2017/03/15/gitter-acquisition/ https://about.gitlab.com/2017/03/15/gitter-acquisition/ We intend to keep both around as they serve different purposes :)
