Any way we could make the connection with Netlify better? Netlify already added support for GitLab https://www.netlify.com/blog/2016/07/13/gitlab-integration-f... Maybe a JAMS template?

I love how Netlify allows you to use the benefits of static site technology (like distributed version control) while allowing for dynamic site functionality like forms. I looked at the documentation for forms https://www.netlify.

In my view everyone has open APIs and the difference is: 1. GitHub focusses on a marketplace ecosystem (although I hear they will be adding CI soon) 2. Atlassian has a suite of applications that work well together and you can buy as a bundl

You will have to get to a liquidity event, 99% of the time this is an acquisition or going public. It is not very motivating for you and the team to build for an acquisition. If you want to go that route be careful how much you raise, every

You know how we think about all remote, we think it is a no-brainer. I want to leave some notes on your points: 1. "Increasing potential hires pool tenfold" => In the view of many VCs the most talented and experienced people wi

Indeed I was grateful that he passed fast and with a clear explanation. We asked him again when we raised our D-round but that came together to fast to make it work. In the one conversation I had with him he coined 'the emergent benefi

Indeed, I hope that one day you have to defend why you're spending money on an office, hiring only the 1% of people that live or can move to a certain place, and waste two hours of their day with a commute.

I think you can raise a comparable amount of funds for a distributed team, it will just be with fewer investors and at a lower valuation. The valuation will be lower since an acquisition is less likely. Most acquirers of companies under $10

GitLab being all remote has been a problem during fundraises. We mentioned it since we're transparent and inevitably investors will want to visit your office. During our latest D round it was a smaller problem since later rounds are mo

I agree with the author that a CLA is one sided since contributors are at the mercy of the organization they sign their rights over to. For the open source code a Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) is more appropriate. I learned this whe

We can't predict the future. But our plan is to become a public company in 2020 https://about.gitlab.com/strategy/#sequence- And while it doesn't prevent an acquisition our recent fundraise makes it less like

Yes, for sure there is a need now. We can do either a plug-in or just integrate Sourcegraph directly into GitLab.

Awesome! Apart from the Web IDE having Sourcegraph code navigation by default in the repository view would be great.

Not allowing people to talk about how you application performs is not compatible with GitLabs value of transparency. I've added a commitment to always allowing people to do this to our stewardship promises https://gitlab.com

Yep. Thanks for quoting that.

Thanks for commenting! By the way we intent to grow as an independent company. We want to support all public clouds. This financing was lead by Iconiq, not GV. And we plan to go public on November 18, 2020.

Thanks, I recognize what you mean, blog post content that is not in the docs. I'll bring this up with the docs team and we'll try to get better at this by coping the blog post to the docs and linking the blog to the docs for the m

Thank you very much. Glad to hear it is working well for you.

Thanks for the examples. I've asked someone to look into this. And we'll consider setting up a service to scan for 404s in our docs to prevent this in the future.

What is the topic in our documentation you think we should improve first?

Thanks! I see you also contributed this as an issue https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/33422 and we plan to make this in the next 4-7 releases. Many of our users have a self-managed installation t

Atlassian is indeed broader then just BitBucket and a better comparison. GitLab does a broader offering than Atlassian by including things like packaging, monitoring, and security. And GitLab is a single application instead of a suite of to
