Summary

CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is renowned for being the world's largest particle physics laboratory and the creator of the first website. It utilizes GitLab for hosting software projects and code management, with around 2500 active developers, mostly in France and Switzerland, though its community extends across various member states. GitLab supports key projects such as the Gaudi framework for high-energy physics experiments and is increasingly used for continuous integration tasks. Alexandre Lossent, CERN's Service Manager for version control systems, highlights the organization's preference for open-source options like GitLab, which is also cost-effective and user-friendly, leading to rapid adoption and internal spread. CERN's proactive engagement with GitLab includes contributing the SAML code, earning them recognition and enabling GitLab to function as a SAML 2.0 Service Provider since release 7.12.
