Sorry for my late response on this thread. Since GitLab is requiring that organizations be non-profits as part of this program, Conservancy will need to coordinate your application with you as we're the parent non-profit for this purpose. Given my late reply, you may already be coordinating with my colleague Brett about this, but I'll check in with him tomorrow to verify. One thing to note is that my understanding is that most of what you're getting access to through this program is proprietary software features that GitLab offers as add-ons. I really encourage you as a project not enable such features, as ultimately you'll probably start to rely on them, and then you'll be effectively relying on proprietary software infrastructure to develop your project. I'm also curious: is there something you need now from the GitLab software that self-hosting might improve? -- Bradley M.
