You'd be in the minority. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'd bet you're at a small company where a low-level employee's opinion was taken into account when making the decision of which product to use for 10-50 people. In medium to large sized companies, Atlassian will usually win out when you have a CTO that manages 100+ developers. Enterprises really like to stick with the "safe bet", where there are expensive license…

At $WORK we use Jira/Confluence, and instead of Bitbucket Server we chose Gitlab because I have experience with it, and it comes with integrated CI. BTW, this is not some small startup...

Cool to hear that! For reference, since many organizations use Jira GitLab CE and EE have extensive Jira integration http://doc.gitlab.com/ee/project_services/jira.html

Looking at this thread here, Gitlab seems to be much more open about their development than Github, and has a real sense of community, yet Github (still) remains the popular option, despite their more community-hostile traditional board-meeting decision process. Is there a gradual shift in the FOSS community towards Gitlab (which in all honesty would make more sense), or am I just seeing the enthusiast in this thread…

Personally, I have moved away from Github because I'm finding Gitlab Flow to be more useful. It enables collaborators to have a kind of Gerrit/Critic work-flow to review potential merges without having another system to integrate.

Hey, Kelvin from Atlassian here. We are pretty flat out ourselves improving both Bitbucket Cloud and Server. I can see how SSO isn't terribly important if Bitbucket is the only one of our products you use, but it's critical for our customers who co-own Bitbucket and JIRA (or Confluence, or HipChat, etc.). It was a fairly massive undertaking: retrofitting auth across our portfolio of products took some serious enginee…

Hi Kelvin,

Any chance BitBucket has a public roadmap? I'm a user because of your free private repos, I hope to grow into a paid user this year. Thanks for all that you do!

I agree we can do a lot better in project discovery on GitLab.com. I do want to mention that https://gitlab.com/explore?utf8=%E2%9C%93&filter_projects=gi... gives results in a few seconds and GitLab itself is the first hit.

Want any help? I don't have any interesting answers for your hiring filters. The culture you've built is very rare. I realized that if I felt that way, then I should try to help it become the norm.

We always want help, you can contribute directly or apply to work via http://doc.gitlab.com/ee/project_services/jira.html

We take all applications seriously but if you feel you got rejected for a bad reason feel free to contact me directly.

Yep, if that didn't exist we would have had to go with Bitbucket Server.

Atlassian is going after the enterprise market. They don't care about free software developers.

That's a poor strategy. All developers start out as free software developers, then gain employment. I persuaded my work to purchase Gitlab EE licenses, due to ease of use and it's excellent features & support. I can't imagine I'd say the same of Atlassian products. Capture awareness / interest early.

> All developers start out as free software developers, then gain employment.

I don't think that's true. Some people never get involved in free software even as a hobby. Some people get apprenticeships and learn to program from scratch on the job.

Did LFS support ship just for self-hosted? I was searching for a home for a few private repos days ago and #11204 showed LFS as still unsupported for hosted BitBucket.

Yup, self-hosted for now but we're working to bring support for hosted soon.

You're reading the docs for the continuous-integration runner :)

I did suspect as much, but it's the first result when I google "gitlab OSX" and it's titled "Install on OSX - GitLab".

Whenever you feel lucky, don't assume you are... ;)
