I have been using GitLab for some time and I am transitioning my projects to them currently. I prefer it to Github significantly, the downside is that recruiters are still looking for github on resumes.
But I get your point, GitHub currently is an extension of your resume. Based on a HN discussion we made a feature proposal to combine your GH and GL activity https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/13401

Thanks for your perspective and naming the features you would like to see in GitLab CE. Can I ask what open source project you are considering to host on-premises with GitLab CE? We do try to open source features that are requested by open source projects, such as the branded login page after a HN discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10931690 I agree that falsely accusing people of looking at the EE code w…
One example would be KDE, who considered Gitlab but ended up going with Phabricator because they are one of those 100+ developer projects that wanted the LDAP, analytics, logging, etc but also being a major open source software community wouldn't settle to not dogfood free software, and the CE was missing too much at the time. Personally, I much prefer Gitlabs project -> code / issues / milestones / etc workflow over…
I had used GitLab for Mailman but I hadn't considered using it. I'll probably migrate off of Bitbucket thanks to this article.

We tried licensing the enterprise edition under an open source license but asking people nicely to not distribute it. People didn't distribute it but our customer where very confused about this so we changed the license. The current license https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/blob/master/LICENSE is proprietary but it does allow people to see the code, modify it and contribute patches https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org…
If you don't mind me asking, what was confusing to the customer? Again, I don't mean to be rude, just curiosity, how would you react if people forked the community edition and implemented some of the enterprise edition features and released it under the MIT expat licence?
If people forked CE to add features of EE we would wonder why we didn't merge those in. For our criteria for merging features that are currently EE only please see https://about.gitlab.com/about/#stewardship
The only missing feature is mailing lists. What's a good solution for that?
I think this is a nice article and I will take a peek at GitLab. I have to say the following though: I have been very annoyed with the difficulty in creating private repos in GitHub BUT I think it is a brilliant plan to encourage people to make their code available. As much as GitHub's pay-for-private-repos approach annoys me, I think if they hadn't done that, 30% or more of what's available on GitHub would be hidden…
GitLab CEO here. Awesome to see this article! Ask me anything.
Three questions: a) I know some projects which would love to move to gitlab from sourceforge, but you don't provide mailing lists like the latter, right? b) Why is your git-blame feature so fragile? It barely works for me, almost always shows the "error" page. c) Since you shut down gitorious you have published a mirror to get the data out (thanks! finally!), but I don't find one repository in your list in here :( :…
b) I think there is something wrong and have created an issue https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/13413
c) sorry it took so long for the mirror to be copied to the internet archive, I've asked for help with your question but this will likely take a couple of days.
