Additional topics discussed in our just-released conversation[1] with GitLab and Element leads:
1. What happened to "ChatOps" and why is GitLab divesting in this space?
2. Who contacted whom? What are some details of the acquisition process and negotiations?
3. What does this mean at a practical sense for existing Gitter users?
4. What's going to happen in the next 6, 12, and 18 months?
