Summary

The Manjaro project, a well-regarded open-source operating system, joined the GitLab Open Source Partners community, adopting GitLab as its development platform in 2018 to enhance data sovereignty, empower its volunteer contributors, and expand monitoring capabilities. By hosting its own dedicated GitLab instance, Manjaro gained greater control and autonomy over its development infrastructure, benefitting its core group of 16 developers who maintain over 3,000 packages with the help of GitLab's sophisticated CI/CD functionality. This transition has also improved the project's visibility into potential issues and failures, while aligning it with similar open-source projects like GNOME and KDE, thus fostering a broader network effect within the open-source ecosystem.
