   From the OP: "Whether it’s an established company or startup that’s gained mass appeal like GitHub, GitLab or Stack Overflow" Thanks for the recognition for GitLab! We hope that for many people that switched https://twi

   I merged https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-remoteonly-org/merge_reque... which added a lot of advantages and disadvantages. Looking forward to more MRs to improve the list.

   At GitLab we work async by default. But we also learned that video calls are great for bonding and solving complex problems. We don't use video calls for presentations or status updates. The exception is functional group updates that a

   Storing things like issues in git is possible. But it makes it harder to make functionality on top like upvotes and issue boards. Not impossible for sure but it slows down development. And it would only help with portably if rate limits are

   The definition was made by 1password and we reused that. We do want to extend this offer to Certbot and Boulder. You can reference this HN comment to make sure your application gets excepted. And because we owe a lot to Let's Encrypt w

   As implied in the OP we understand that some projects (like Debian) are not comfortable running proprietary software. We'll continue to listen to their wishes. And the increasing adoption of GitLab open source by open source projects m

   We're always open to discussing open sourcing parts of GitLab. We will continue to do so on a case by case basis.

    Interesting idea. Is there an authoritative list of educational domains? Checking the last part of the domain name doesn't work in some countries like at my old university https://www.utwente.nl/ Also, my university ga

    We took external investment so we need to either get acquired or IPO. Since 2015 we're aiming for an IPO in 2020 https://about.gitlab.com/strategy/ and so far we're on track.

    Free speech is a superset of free beer, not a subset. The proprietary version of GitLab is publicly viewable and amendable, but it is close source, not open source.

    Thanks! The article asked "what chunk of GitLab will be considered “core” in the future?". We try to detail this on https://about.gitlab.com/stewardship/#what-features-are-paid... "All stages of the DevO

    I'm sorry that you had a bad experience with GitLab.com self-hosted runners and pushes. I can't place the CI runners not working entire days. Pushes to GitLab.com should not take minutes. They do take longer then to GitHub.com and

    Or export you projects to someone else running GitLab. All the functionality to run a forge in GitLab is open source and export/import is open source as well.

    We're not happy with the merge request speed either. We're close to converting the merge request view to Vue, this should speed it up considerably.

    I think what I meant to say is the processes are reused for different applications. I assume that on AppEngine one process is used only for one application (like our application servers on GitLab.com).
