GitLab Ultimate and Gold now free for education and open source

GitLab recently experienced a surge in interest, with over 2,000 tweets about #movingtogitlab, over 100,000 repositories imported, a sevenfold increase in orders, and an appearance on Bloomberg TV, all coinciding with Apple's announcement of Xcode 10's integration with GitLab. In response to questions from the community, GitLab revealed that its Ultimate and Gold offerings are now free for educational institutions and open source projects, providing them with comprehensive features such as Epics, Roadmap, Static Application Security Testing, and Container Scanning. While these free accounts do not come with support, GitLab aims to encourage the use of its advanced features in educational settings and open source projects, allowing students to gain valuable experience and fostering the growth of open source initiatives. This strategy supports GitLab's sustainable business model by offering free services to educational and open source entities while maintaining paid services for non-open source organizations.
