Hey all,

This is an update on the Wikimedia GitLab project[0].

GitLab access was formerly restricted to WMF/WMDE/NDA users. We've lifted that restriction.[1]

With that out of the way, we're working to sort out open questions about use of shared CI runners[2] and what Docker images they're allowed to run[3], along with shoring up various aspects of our infrastructure, cleaning up some lingering authentication bugs, and integrating with other development services and communication channels.

In general, you can follow this project as a whole on Phabricator, on the GitLab workboard.[4] As ever, questions are welcome on Phab, in #wikimedia-releng on libera.chat, or directly in e-mail.
