#3If you want to give it a try in your computer or in the cloud you can use one of the images from bitnami. We already have updated them to gitlab 6.3

#4For those who aren't familiar, Gitlab is essentially an open-source clone of Github.
For those who already use it, this is a good time to upgrade, because multiple security vulnerabilities were recently fixed [1]. (You can upgrade to a patch version within the same major/minor release, e.g. 6.2.3 to 6.2.4, but it's not too much more effort to just upgrade to the latest 6.3 release).

#5I'm considering GitLab for use at work. How does it stack up against Atlassian Stash? (https://www.atlassian.com/software/stash/overview)

http://www.gitlab.com/cloud/ offers free, unlimited private (and public) repositories and might also be a good place to try it.

I've had to compare the two. At the current state, Stash is better than GitLab in almost all ways. Better UI, more features and other small things that make a big difference (e.g. repo sync).
GitLab, on the other hand, has two advantages over Stash. Firstly it's open source (+free). Secondly and most importantly, GitLab is under active development and there is a new release with reasonable amount of content every month.
I haven't installed Stash, but for what it's worth GitLab installation and upgrades have been really straightforward.

I was trying out GitLab EE and ran into some install issues on RHEL5 (which were solvable - http://www.digitalsanctuary.com/tech-blog/general/installing... ). However even after a couple days I was unable to get the LDAP integration and LDAP group permissions to work correctly. GitLab support wasn't able to solve it for me, so I tried Stash. 30 minutes later, up and running the way I wanted it.
