[Olsr-users] [RFC] Move to GitLab

[Ben West]

I can share very positive experience using Bitbucket in an
institutional/academic environment.  Outages observed on their platform
were slightly greater than observation from prior jobs using commercial
Github, but Bitbucket/Atlassian were transparent about them.

Atlassian also offers free "community subscriptions."

https://bitbucket.org/product/pricing?tab=cloud
"Do you offer free community or academic subscriptions?

Yes! Community or academic subscriptions include unlimited private
repositories for unlimited contributors which also includes 5 GB file
storage for LFS and 500 build minutes for Pipelines to help you get
started. You share build minutes and storage with all users on your team or
personal account. Fees will apply for additional build minutes and file
storage."
