GitLab / Community Relations

Allyship means supporting marginalized groups while speaking out against discrimination, prejudice, and oppression. Being an ally goes beyond just offering support; it entails taking action and leading by example. In this presentation, Fatima Sarah Khalid (Developer Evangelist at GitLab) explores the role of allyship by explaining the "Allyship Knapsack" — a toolkit designed to guide us in educating ourselves and others, combating prejudice, and building more inclusive communities through empathy and courage.

The Manjaro community offers Linux users an open source operating system that's fast, reliable, and user-friendly. Manjaro is the newest member of the GitLab Open Source Partners community, and Bryan Behrenshausen (Senior Open Source Program Manager at GitLab) recently caught up with project leaders Philip Müller and Bernhard Landauer to learn how GitLab helps the Manjaro community continue its great work.

In this interview, you will learn how using GitLab allows Manjaro to:

* Maintain data sovereignty by hosting its own infrastructure
* Automate Linux package management so a core group of 16 developers can maintain more than 3,000 packages
* Monitor its relationships to other projects in the open source ecosystem

The Good Docs Project wants to help improve software documentation across the entire open source ecosystem (and beyond!). The community provides templates and other resources to help open source developers write, maintain, and improve documentation of their work. Last year, they voted to migrate to GitLab. And since then, they've discovered how using an all-in-one DevSecOps platform can streamline and accelerate work in open source communities like theirs.

Now they've joined the GitLab Open Source Partners community, sharing their knowledge and resources with other open source projects also using GitLab to build a world where anyone can contribute. In this interview, Bryan Behrenshausen (GitLab's Senior Open Source Program Manager) chats with several members of The Good Docs Project to learn what motivates their work—and when they plan to unveil their next major release.

We hosted a virtual meetup featuring Michael Friedrich, Developer Evangelist at GitLab, on 2020/03/24.

Title: Make your life as a developer easier with GitLab CI and the Web IDE

Description: Ever wanted to get CI quickly up and running? We will be exploring the capabilities of GitLab CI from simple scripts to building code and running unit tests as we code inside the Web IDE. Everything which makes your journey with CI a breeze in group practice.

If you’re interested in learning how to build a CI pipeline in GitLab this talk is for you. If you’re a more experienced GitLab user, we’d still love for you to attend and lend your expertise to our breakout groups.
