Hey all,
A quick note that, after discussion on T288392[0], we've reconfigured gitlab.wikimedia.org to use shell names for users instead of the LDAP CN, and renamed all existing logins to match. This seems like a better match for most users' expectations, and better ergonomics overall.
As a quick example, I was BrennenBearnes before, and now am at:
https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/brennen/
GitLab handles redirects for renamed users both in the web interface and for git remotes, but if you want to reconfigure the remote URL for an existing clone of a repo, you can do something like the following, substituting your new username:
$ git remote set-url origin git@gitlab.wikimedia.org:brennen/test.git
[0]. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T288392
This is great! Thank you, Brennen.

Hi,
Is there any tentative date for an individual volunteer to use Wikimedia GitLab?

The migration to shell usernames was the last item blocking that, so I'm hopeful we can open it up yet this week. That's tracked on Phabricator here:

We've also got a high-level roadmap for GitLab adoption:
