I wonder if Gitlab is trying to make themselves more Google friendly in hope of a Google acquisition?
In the news about the Microsoft GitHub acquisition,it was mentioned that Google also tried to acquire Github. So Google is definitely interested in buying an open source project host.

- spiderPig 8y agoYeah, I believe this whole move was prompted after Google Ventures invested in them
- dpcx 8y agoGoogle was an early investor in Gitlab. I think if Google wanted to buy Gitlab, it wouldn't take much.

- ternaryoperator 8y agoI wonder whether internally Google recognizes that shutting down Google Code rather than investing in it was an error.
- megaman22 8y agoMy guess would be that that is so long ago, most of the people responsible or involved have churned out of Google already. I don't recall that move ever generating the kind of outrage that e.g. shutting down Google Reader did. So probably just one more inhabitant of Google's forgotten island of misfit toys.
