"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?
More details can be found on the developer site: https://developer.gitter.im/docs/faye-endpoint
We also have an open-source IRC bridge: https://github.com/gitterHQ/irc-bridge
I hope this spurns more OSS communities to move to gitter. As much as I enjoy slack, limits on features like search and invites creates a friction that I think a service like gitter can help solve.
Not trying to be snarky. Maybe it was a typo, but non-English speakers might not immediately get from that to the correct word.
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. Edits: typos, wrote from phone.

Looks like they will open source the whole thing. I'd be very interested in learning how much Gitlab paid for this acquisition.

Can't we be realistic about companies instead of getting wild eyed? You don't have any reservations about recent events?
Does anyone have an insight into the differences between Slack, Mattermost, and Gitter? I have only ever used Slack before but it seems like Gitlab is already heavily invested with Mattermost. That makes me wonder what the future looks like for both Mattermost and Gitter. Are they different enough that they can both coexist without hurting either product or is one of them destined to be folded into the other in hopes…
Gitter is targeted at providing a public channel around a project, Mattermost is more Slack-like for team-internal organisation (with multiple channels, user management etc)

"What about Mattermost, how is this different?
Gitter was built to be used in the open. We’ve always seen Gitter as a network, or a place where people can come to connect to one another. Team collaboration, whilst possible, has never been a core aspect of the Gitter experience.
Mattermost is a powerful, integrated messaging product for team collaboration - we will continue to ship and recommend using Mattermost for internal team communication."
