  • I‘m not sure if I understand you correctly.

    I know there is gitlab.com, the commercial site and then there is the open source gitlab you can self host, right?

    Working on the code and being a contributor to big open source projects is quite the thing for your cv. I don’t see how a „normal“ open source project could do anything for you except look great on your cv. Because thats the point. Open source is not someone who has to be thankful to you. It is like working on the church in your small town. People work together on it or donate to make it possible.

    The „i only give if i get back“ is kind of the reason we‘re in megacorp dystopian hellscape rn.
