Dear lord these guys are putting in work. I'm not exactly a huge supporter of Github (the company not the product) so I'm very glad to see it. I look forward to their continued growth.

>Dear lord these guys are putting in work. man I wish they would bring something new, cool and innovative to the space, instead being bent on doing feature-by-feature copy of github. They have an amazing opportunity now to take advantage of github fatigue. But they are throwing it all away by trying to become an inferior clone of github.

I’m a juuuuge GitHub supporter, but let me provide a different perspective: In business, there is product innovation and there is also business innovation.

Sometimes, you provide exactly the same product, but the way in which you do business around that product is the innovation. For example, a 100% open-source implementation of the JVM needn’t provide any technical innovation whatsoever: The innovations are in how it’s developed and how it’s licensed.

I won’t speak to whether GitLab is providing any business innovation or not, I’m just pointing out that if they are, that’s something of value in its own right.

@dang I'm sorry for this. Please understand I was inebriated when I posted this comment, but I will always appreciate your work and if you ban me for the following comment, I understand. ------------------------------------------------- syste - I love you man. You are an amazing CEO. Your company does great work and has a great product. I always become so happy when I see you actively responding to the comments here.…

Thanks! Glad to know if I write something about myself it will have a minimum of two buyers (my mom is very supportive too). I like to write about business stuff most. Any merge requests on our handbook https://about.gitlab.com/handbook and strategy https://about.gitlab.com/strategy are appreciated.

styse, you are a great motivation for the product company I run. I checked your strategy page and you are planning to integrate with NetSuite. Why not something open source for finance? ERPNext?

disclaimer: I am the founder of erpnext

Well, now if only I can change the max-age of some resources (images, css, js) it'll get better than github. Good job!

Can you elaborate and / or create an issue here [0]? [0]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/new

The many "standards" of Markdown also now include CommonMark [1]. There is also some interesting history as to why it is not named "Standard Markdown". [1] http://commonmark.org/ [2] https://blog.codinghorror.com/standard-markdown-is-now-commo...

Man, as much as I admire and respect his intelligence, sometimes Gruber can be quite unreasonable.

Yeah, after reading that I came away with a really REALLY sour taste in my mouth. What got stuck in his craw and died?

There are several problems with it: 1. the certificate is not generated by you (in the Free or the Pro plan) but by them and these certificates are for multiple domain names. So you end up sharing your certificate with other domains / websites of dubious nature that are also on CloudFlare's network. 2. CloudFlare only secures the connection between users and the CloudFlare network. It does not secure the connection b…

Why is #1 an issue?

If a domain that you share your certificate with has their certificate revoked or is blacklisted for any reason this could have a negative impact on you.

Out of curiousity, would you consider GPL Affero sufficiently FOSS?

As long as we're talking about the GNU AGPL then absolutely! I would say that the original AGPL is sufficiently FOSS but it's GNU GPL incompatible which might be annoying. It's not necessarily a deal breaker though if it's handled well.

It's GPLv2 incompatible. GPLv3 has a special exception for the AGPL.
