There are some open source projects with a large user base taking the step to us, for example https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman

Regarding the three demands in the doc:

1. GitLab has issue templates in EE and on GitLab.com https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests/28

2. GitLab has the award emoji function that doesn't spam and acts as a voting system https://about.gitlab.com/2015/11/22/gitlab-8-2-released/

3. We're open to displaying CONTRIBUTING.md more prominently, please open an issue on our public issue tracker that contains all our planned features https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues

I'll go sleep now but please ask any questions so I can respond tomorrow.

Yes, I already saw some of these.

Unfortunately, there's no Travis CI integration yet, which I've been using on GitHub a lot.

I'm evaluating GitLab CI right now. Am I right, that I have to host a runner myself if I don't want to use a shared runner for my project?

> You can setup as many runners as you need. Runners can be placed on separate users, servers, and even on your local machine.

Does "local machine" really mean a non-public machine like my notebook?

Appreciating help from GitLab's CEO :)

We would love for Travis CI to offer support for GitLab, they can use our new commit status API.

But you'll find that GitLab CI is a pretty complete replacement. If you don't want to use a shared runner you indeed have to use a shared runner.

Running on your local machine can indeed include your notebook.

Thanks for the answer.

Welcome. I see an error in my answer. If you don't want to use a shared runner you indeed have to add one yourself. Please be informed that shared runners can run Docker images and that we plan to add runner auto scaling with 8.4 to reduce the queue.

We're working on a response to all the issues in the letter in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/8938

We've published our response https://about.gitlab.com/2016/01/15/making-gitlab-better-for...
