Morning Everyone, Just a reminder we have the AMA session with GitLab scheduled for tomorrow, September 10th @ 1330 UTC on #fedora-meeting-1. We have a hackmd doc open until COB* today if you would like to add some questions for GitLab. *COB means Close of Business** ** Business time means my timezone closing time of 1700 UTC :) The hackmd link is here https://hackmd.io/RW8HahOeR7OJPON1dwuo3w# And if you want to contribute to the discussion on GitLab, they have a forum here https://forum.gitlab.com/t/fedora-migration-to-gitlab-ask-me-anything-ama-thursday-september-10-2020/41971 Thanks all and have a great day!
