Because people need to eat.
Eat what? Other people? Not sure what you're getting at, because I'm paying my membership dues, and I'm quite sure you're not living on less than $1/day either.

Good suggestion, if this gets abused we'll look at ways to prevent this, limiting the number of runner hours per user account is one of the ways we're thinking about.
If you implement that, would you consider: > If you purchase GitLab.com Bronze Support you can email support directly for timely, personal and private answers. This costs $9.99 per user per year for next-business-day response time and is available in packs of 20 users. Reducing the pack size to 10 and improving the rate limit for paid accounts? I don't mind paying for GitLab.com, I just don't want to pay $200/year fo…
One possible business model is charging for speciality machines with OSX or Windows on them.
Great news, awesome partnership. Nice work team! :clap:
The thing that made CI more affordable for us was to rent our own Hetzner servers, and switch to https://buildkite.com Prior to this we were with CircleCI, and before that Travis CI.

This is super nice. After the "Dear Github" letter I moved to gitlab and have not looked back. Its great to see this project grow in a manner that respect the community that adopts it.
Thanks asimuvPR! BTW For our 'Dear Open Source Maintainers' letter please see https://about.gitlab.com/2016/01/15/making-gitlab-better-for...
Do you mind if I email you?
I love both GitLab and DigitalOcean, but why do I feel so devalued by IT deflation? The longer I'm part of something and the more effort I put into promoting a platform, the less perks I get. Why? I understand the importance of new customers, but why do you alienate the loyal user-base that made you what you are today? Are we rewarding ignorance now?
You're getting free CI runners where you had none. Is that not enough benefit? It's not as if there is a scale where newbies get EVERYTHING and vets of 10+ years get nothing. New? Here is a small incentive. Not new? Thanks for using the product, check out these fresh features!

My point is that you're expecting something for free because you've evangelized in the past. There is no such thing as "influence" royalties.

BuildKit looks nice and their documentation is really nicely structured. Is there anything they have that you're missing in GitLab?
I can't answer your question about GitLab since I haven't used your product. A plus for us was also that they are willing to support Gogs if we need it.
> *Note: Promotion code available for new DigitalOcean customers only. This type of promotion really aggravates me. I'm not just saying this only about the announced GitLab/DigitialOcean partnership, but rather as a general comment as I see this customer acquisition ruse quite a lot elsewhere too. I spend money with DigitalOcean. I don't feel particularly rewarded for my loyalty when I can't enjoy the same promotion…
We’re truly sorry if this came as a surprise.
As of March 2015, we revised our Terms of Service
announcing that we’re no longer able to offer credits
that do not expire, and any unused credit added to your
account more than 12 months ago will expire.
This also creates a perverse incentive to burn the credits in a blaze of glory. I'm restraining myself, but I can only image the headache this will create across all users.

I'm very aware of it. :) Do you mind if I email you?
