Action Required : Gitlab OSS subscription needs to be renewed (ask for CentOS board help)
When logging in to work on something this Sunday, I was presented this banner on gitlab.com/CentOS :
``` Your Opensource subscription for CentOS will expire on 2025-10-13. If you do not renew by 2025-10-13, you can't use merge approvals, code quality, or any other paid features. ```
Can any member of the CentOS Board with contact at Gitlab ensure that action is taken immediately and seriously to ensure not blocking any SIG work happening now on Gitlab please ?
Happy to be involved to finally myself having a kind of PoC with Gitlab (infra doesn't have any so far)
Kind Regards,
I suggest that this kind of spam should be banned.

Had a look at https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/developer-relations/community... and so sent mail to their PoC (amusingly my account, even listed as owner, can't open any ticket with them)
For awareness, I added directly Shaun and Amy in the loop so let's see how that goes

Just letting the community know that this is being taken care of. The renewal process has an automated check to ensure all projects are open source, which we've tripped. We don't generally have LICENSE files in our distgit repos (neither does Fedora), but they are under our default MIT license. I've reached out to GitLab to see what we can do.
