Hey folks, I'm harris delalic the product manager for the import group here at git lab. I would like to give you a quick overview of our vision and goals for this group.

A

The overall mission for the import group at gitlab is to make the transition and to get lab a seamless and a delightful experience.

A

Our vision is that within three years, even the largest organizations will be able to self-service their migration into gitlab from the most common platforms such as github and bitbucket, regardless of their deployment model.

A

To achieve that vision, we have set the following goals for the next year: first, achieving a lovable gitlab to gitlab migration experience, allow a self-managed instance to easily migrate to gitlab.com and vice versa and self-service a migration of projects, groups, users and most other objects.

A

We want to double our import activity from github, we'll accomplish this by improving the import user, experience, performance and capabilities of our github importer, such as extending our support for github enterprise and introducing the ability to import an entire github organization.

A

And finally, we want to reduce the shield of failed imports by 50, as I first stepped over these goals. We're currently focused on viable git, lab migration, which includes groups subgroups and all the projects belonging to those groups, scaling the github importer user experience to support migrating an organization with more than 1000 projects.

A

And, finally, we want to instrument our ability to track and troubleshoot import failures. So this is my take on the vision for the import group. Please, let me know what you think. All comments and suggestions are welcome, as I'm always looking to improve our goals and make sure we're focused on the right things. Thanks for watching.
