Move from Github to Gitlab?

[BlueKenny]

I need some time to understand and Believe this news and it took my few seconds to move everything to GitLab

I also would like to have a commitment to move to some other Repository.
With a time schedule which sounds reasonable.
So there seems to be also some other alternatives than GitLab

My personal favorite would be https://savannah.gnu.org/ which might be out because:

We host free projects that run on free operating systems and without any proprietary software dependencies.

The others might be
https://giteo.io
or
https://gogs.io/

Furthermore I'd also see it, as said before by others, as a statement.
Actually there should be no discussion about the if but only about the when and how.

Hello everyone!

So, with the resent news about Microsoft buying Github https://www.theverge.com/2018/6/3/17422752/microsoft-github-acquisition-rumors the question have been raised to me if we should move to Gitlab. We will for sure talk about this in our Developer meeting today, so I decided to post this to see what the community things before making a decision. This has to be an Developer decision, but at the same time we do bug reporting on Github too so community input is extremely important. So please give your input on if we should move or not.

To move to Gitlab will have no major drawbacks, we will only gain extra functions like direct CI on Gitlab. Gitlab has all the existing functions we use on Github. Gitlab is even opensource which is a big plus! (github is not opensource) Importing will also be no extra job, Gitlab has already automated tools to import everything from Github (issues, pr, wiki, repos etc). And for infrastructure using Gitlab is no problem plugins etc for Gitlab already exists (https://jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/steps/gitlab-plugin/) So from my side there is no reason to not use Gitlab.

I myself strongly dislike this, and do not trust Microsoft, so I have moved all my personal things to gitlab! Also the irony asking someone to create a bug report for our project on a Microsoft platform is weird.

What I still don't understand today is why they didn't make a real switch to open-sources. The fact that they changed to the e.v. club
