@lakotaubp Thank you very much! ;-)

@lakotaubp thank you.

I'm sorry but I (yet) don't have an UT so I cant use an existing wallpaper to take the info

@lakotaubp but I don't see any instruction about the wallpaper...what are the dimensions? what is the position and the radius of the circle in the welcome screen?

@thatoo I think a syncronization app (like this one on android) is needed in UT in order to communicate with an AsteroidOS.
so probably the problem is not only that they don't have software for ubuntu touch but that we don't have software for them :P

aury88 Its simple, I value and judge Microsoft different than you ;)

you are still misunderstanding me. I don't have any problem with microsoft. I use windows, I use their Bing search engine and I use many of their services( one of which I regularly use for my contributions to a project) . the point is not how I "value and judge" microsoft. the point here is why you are asking yourself "if Google is less evil than MS" when the situation doesn't seem to me properly a G vs MS thing (in the first google cloud is only one of the services you can choose, to host the code,among many other and with the ability to self hosting if you want or don't trust the others, the second is now a MS service without being able to choose not passing through MS). to me it seems more correct to ask if gitlab "is less devil than microsoft" if you want to keep the comparison to an analysis of this kind

PS:since (yet) you do not know me I ask you not to suppose or imply that you know how I value or judge microsoft or any other company/service/person . thank you :-)

@aury88 we want to avoid self-hosting. ...
If you never run servers and services your own you might think its easy nowadays. Believe me its not.
...
I have experience from my workplace ....

I think you're totally misunderstanding me. I have absolutely in any way proposed or even thought UBPorts need/must doing the self-hosting . my question/answer was more to understand why you seem to be putting at the same level a service now owned by microsoft and in which therefore all the access data from now on will be collected and stored by microsoft (basicaly now you need a microsoft account to fork, put a issue, upload a code/PR, start a project etc on github, ) with another service that (optionally and only) use google services for their server infrastructure because of technical reasons that you so well explained.

@flohack so now I need a Microsofts Azure account and then I will need a google account in order to use Gitlab?
also are we talking about GitLab CE or GitLab EE ?
it seems you can host GitLab CE on your own server in a container, or on a cloud provider (that you choose).

@flohack said in Move from Github to Gitlab?:

Now reading that Gitlab uses Google cloud for all their services and I asking myself if Google is less evil than MS (probably not).

so is needed a google account to use gitlab or report an issue?

nothing prevent to try make the transition to gitlab and see if all goes well after the OTA4 and while still using github and without rush.
the process seems automated (Bugreport/issues, projects and naturally code), mario grip says that he already ported all its personal projects so this seems will be a not so time hungry process. also the extra feature on gitlab could make it convenient on a long run.
so I'm for what @NeoTheThird says

@jonius Ok! I only need a respberryPi, the PiPhone kit and to learn programming/porting x.D :-(
