GitLab Ultimate and Gold now free for education and open source
While this is totally an awesome move in terms of marketing...<p>Why doesn't the Open Source community actually band up and make a Github alternative that is actually good and free for Open Source?<p>Considering that public Git services are kind of the single source of failure for all of the projects providing what the Internet needs to run, shouldn't we instead band together and make something like the Linux Foundation for Git, providing Git infrastructure for all those projects?<p>It kind of feels like a really stupid move to hand over central infrastructure into the hands of <i></i>any<i></i> commercial entity.
