#2Of course, we're very excited with this opportunity and happy to discuss. Let us know if you have any questions.

#3Maybe with this 4M they can stop producing workflow crushing bugs. I'm getting a bit tired of explaining to my boss why first he can't search the code because our repo is too big, then search doesn't work in firefox, then when he gets through the diff/file is too large (we've only recently seen the syntax highlighting start to work too).
Then after someone does the work, then they can't assign the MR because of glitchy privs!
If anyone is reading this at gitlab, please don't take this personally. I wouldn't leave gitlab, I just need the core 80% of the functionality to work flawlessly, and my upgrades to work without half of my team moaning at me for having faith that this upgrade will be the gold edition we need.
Also like most people that I've spoken to, we're not interested in gitlab-ci at all (we already have a ton of buildscripts in jenkins). If we didn't like jenkins we'd be using stash/bamboo right now.

Consider me part of the crowd that is very interested. Travis is atrociously bad. Jenkins I've heard some good things about but I have mostly negative experiences with it. Alternatives are needed. And something like gitlab would sorely lack if it didn't have CI integration.

Why is Travis so bad? Ever tried CircleCI?

#6Congratulations. I was just remarking at work that Gitlab is awesome. It's an open source project that 100% does what it says on the tin; we downloaded and installed, and haven't had to worry about it since.

I'm sorry to hear you're workflow crushing bugs on updates. We'll certainly use the money to hire more developers and service engineers https://about.gitlab.com/jobs/
Although GitLab moves very fast and there always are regressions I thought we are getting much better at releasing patches for all regressions. I'm sorry to hear your experience is different.
How large is your repo? Code search shells out to git and that should be very performant. Are the repositories stored the same server as the application runs on?
Syntax highlighting switched from pygments to rouge, ensuring we don't have to ship Python anymore.
I didn't hear about the problem of assigning the MR, can you link to an issue for that?
We want GitLab to work flawlessly when you upgrade. And at the end of each monthly release cycle the patched version should not contain any known problems. We're working hard in the regression issues to make it so https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/1990 and https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/2297
We think that the CI configuration should be stored in the repository and that Travis and GitLab CI are the future instead of Jenkins and Bamboo.
We understand that not everyone will use GitLab CI (most enterprises are using Jenkins) but already have many organizations (including some very large ones) using GitLab CI in production. GitLab CI will undergo massive improvements after integrating it into GitLab itself in 8.0 so you might want to stick with Jenkins if you don't want to be surprised. But we recommend anyone to give GitLab CI as spin while we keep adding features. You'll be happy to know that GitLab 8.1 will ship with a commit status API that makes integrations with third party CI tools easier.

Awesome, glad to hear that and thanks for posting.

I have not. It doesn't look to be open source though, so not self-hostable - my interest stops at that point.

#10free private repos? is this a limited time offer or something you'll stand by forever? how many repos?
