Thanks, @PurpleFoxy! I tend to agree with @Fileeditview about the network effect and how GitHub has done a great job of helping OSS projects with visibility.

Like john_cogs, I'm also a GitLab team member, and am part of the Community Relations team. I run the GitLab for Open Source program. I joined about a year ago and am really impressed by how fast GitLab moves forward. We have a lot of awesome stuff coming up to make the product, and our community, even better.

With a release each month, we use our momentum to make big strides in the DevSecOps space -- so people can rest assured that we'll keep improving quickly! We like to build along with our users, and believe everyone can contribute to our product roadmap, and all aspects of our company (e.g. see https://about.gitlab.com/direction/).

For OSS projects considering a move, check out this GitHub vs GitLab Decision Kit: https://about.gitlab.com/devops-tools/github-vs-gitlab/decis... It outlines some of the key points to consider when evaluating a move.

I'm also happy to answer any questions about the GitLab for Open Source program john_cogs mentioned below (https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/open-source/). It's a great deal in that OSS projects get 50,000 CI minutes for free along with our top tier in SaaS or self-managed. Feel free to reach out to [e-mail] with any questions!

Best two things GitLab needs to do:

1. Fix their bugs instead of new features (ex: rebase fails 9/10 time for us) 2. Fix their pricing (ex: $99 per user is way to expensive and that is the only plan that allows free users)
