Dear GitLab users and customers,
On October 23, we sent an email entitled “Important Updates to our Terms of Service and Telemetry Services”
announcing upcoming changes. Based on considerable feedback from our customers, users, and the broader community,
we reversed course the next day and removed those changes before they went into effect. Further, GitLab will
commit to not implementing telemetry in our products that sends usage data to a third-party product analytics
service. This clearly struck a nerve with our community and I apologize for this mistake.
So, what happened? In an effort to improve our user experience, we decided to implement user behavior tracking
with both first and third-party technology. Clearly, our evaluation and communication processes for rolling
out a change like this were lacking and we need to improve those processes. But that’s not the main thing we did wrong.
Our main mistake was that we did not live up to our own core value of collaboration by including our users,
contributors, and customers in the strategy discussion and, for that, I am truly sorry. It shouldn’t have
surprised us that you have strong feelings about opt-in/opt-out decisions, first versus third-party tracking,
data protection, security, deployment flexibility and many other topics, and we should have listened first.
So, where do we go from here? The first step is a retrospective that is happening on October 29 to document
what went wrong. We are reaching out to customers who expressed concerns and collecting feedback from users
and the wider community. We will put together a new proposal for improving the user experience and share it
for feedback. We made a mistake by not collaborating, so now we will take as much time as needed to make
sure we get this right. You can be part of the collaboration by posting comments in this
issue: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/issues/5672. If you are a customer, you may also reach
out to your GitLab representative if you have additional feedback.
I am glad you hold GitLab to a higher standard. If we are going to be transparent and collaborative,
we need to do it consistently and learn from our mistakes.
Sincerely,
Sid Sijbrandij
Co-Founder and CEO

Verlieren die Befürworter des neuen EU-Urheberrechtsgesetzes ihren wichtigsten Fürsprecher in Deutschland? Völlig überraschend hat heute CDU-Politiker Axel Voss seinen Rückzug aus der Politik angekündigt. Dank einer hilfreichen E-Mail eines nigerianischen Prinzen stehe er kurz davor, ein Millionenvermögen zu erhalten, so Voss.www.der-postillon.com
reshare fromDear #lazyweb, wenn man einen sicheren Mailprovider sucht, wen würdet ihr empfehlen? Protonmail, mailbox.org, posteo oder was anderes?
Kurze Anforderungsliste:
* POP3 / IMAP-Support, über TLS
* SMTP ebenfalls TLS
* einfache Folder, vor allem für Spam und Trash
* Two-factor Authentication
* gutes Spam-Filtering
* Forwarding-Support
* keine Traffic-Limitierung
Nice to have:
* Adressbuch-Support
* Support für eigene Domains
Was ich de facto nicht brauche:
* irgendwelche fancy Web-Oberflächen, einfache Oberfläche für extrem gelegentliche Nutzung reicht
* Fileshare
* Online Office-Support
* Kalender
* Multi-User-Support
Ich habe keine besonderen Anforderungen bzgl. Speichergrenze. Das Ganze darf auch (kleines) Geld kosten.
