I'm in favour of using OSGeo infrastructure if it doesn't prevent collaboration, but that also means bugging SAC with more work so we have to be sure. I haven't used Gitlab so I don't have an opinion on it. Let me be clear, I like GitHub, it's great and all, but as OSGeo Live is a project of the foundation, I think we have (for the good and the bad) to be an example of how projects can work within OSGeo. Indeed, I think OSGeo Live is an example of great FOSS4G collaboration! Thinking aloud, and assuming we have an OSGeo git/gitlab installation, do you guys know if it would be possible to have *easily* a double way synchronization with GitHub or it would cause too much overhead? At the end, I guess, nothing prevents to have a *main* GitHub repo (nice for accepting contributions, nifty 1-click pull requests, etc) and a mirror on an OSGeo git server, keeping the issue tracker in our Trac or Gitlab. Am I right?
