Thanks for the feedback on the GitLab for Education program. In the spirit of iteration, we started the program as an MVC - offering free licenses for teaching and learning related purposes. The program has grown significantly since then and through meaningful feedback from our members, we’ve come to realize the structure is not ideal for Universities to implement at an enterprise level. We have an epic open to restructure the program and welcome constructive input. https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-com/marketing/community-rel...

Thanks for reaching out through hn. I will take a look at the epic you linked. Those are indeed many issues we faced (and other universities as well. there was even a discussion of somehow trying to license one github instance for all universities in the state although I'm not sure if this ever amounted to anything)

I'm really interested in the development of this issue so thank you again for reaching out.
