This leads to 404. Their official blog says nothing about it ( http://blog.gitter.im/ ) and Twitter also says nothing about it ( https://twitter.com/gitchat ).

I just read it a couple of minutes ago, maybe the announcement was posted early?

Probably. Who ever did push the "Publish" button is probably biting his nails :)

Every next move by Gitlab makes them grow in my eyes, personaly. Few weeks ago I started using it as my main "portfolio", it's not much but I really like their way of thinking, openness and providing services. Their whole eco-system is looking really interesting right now, and I hope they will continue to advance and grow.

"Next piece of wow: we will be open sourcing all of the Gitter" The Gitlab folks really know how to do it. It is of course the rational approach to it, but still, that's a bold move.

Do we know what protocol Gitter runs on top of?

Protocol? I kind of assumed things like Slack, Gitter, etc. were just using websockets that communicate with their backend.
