Dear users of our Gitlab service,<\/p>\n

we are glad to see the steadily increasing number of users of GWDG
\nGitlab. From the extensive positive feedback we count Gitlab as a
\nsuccessful service, which is becoming more and more part of the work of
\nmany. In addition, it was possible for us to provide the service Gitlab
\navailable outside the University of G\u00f6ttingen and the Max Planck Society
\nfor all universities in Lower Saxony in the context of the Academic
\nCloud.<\/p>\n

In recent years, we have been able to take advantage of an Academic
\nCloud license negotiated as part of the Academic Cloud and thus offer
\nthe full range of feature of Gitlab. Unfortunately, this is no longer
\npossible due to a change in Gitlab’s licensing situation. Therefore we
\nare forced to adapt our license to the current circumstances and to
\nswitch to the Community Edition (CE) for the time being. The switch to
\nthe Community Edition will take place on April 2nd 2022. For useage in
\nthe context of teaching, we will offer an additional Gitlab instance
\nwith all features throughout the Academic Cloud. Furthermore, we also
\noffer hosting of an Ultimate or Premium instance given the required
\nlicences are provided to us. In case of interest, please contact us via
\nour support address gitlab-support@gwdg.de<\/p>\n

The changeover and the associated transition to the limited feature set
\nwill lead to a short interruption and will reduce the Gitlab features to
\nthose that are covered by the community license. We therefore encourage
\nyou to check which features you are using for your projects will be
\ndropped for your projects. An overview of the feature catalog can be
\nfound at [1]. Particularly noteworthy, however, are the functionalities
\nlike Epic Boards, Roadmaps, Merge Request Approvals, Repository
\nMirroring, Instance\/Group Templates, Group Wikis, CI\/CD Pipelines
\nDashboard, and Merge Request Dependencies. Part of these functions can
\nbe covered by our project management service
\n„https:\/\/projects.academiccloud.de“. Of course you can continue to use
\nGitlab after the conversion in the the functionality of the Community
\nEdition.<\/p>\n

We greatly apologize for the short notice of this maintenance.<\/p>\n

In case of any uncertainties or questions or if you need general help to
\nprepare for the changeover, please feel free to contact us at
\ngitlab-support@gwdg.de.<\/p>\n

Your GWDG Gitlab-Team<\/p>\n
