[EdLUG] September meeting - GitLab as a task manager

[Thomas Kluyver]

Hi all,

I hope you're all managing to avoid the latest Covid surge! We've got another talk lined up for September, in our usual first Tuesday of the month time slot:

When: Tuesday 7th September - general chat from 7pm, talk starting 7.15.
Where: Online at https://links.taikedz.net/?id=bbb-edlug (thanks Tai!)

Nicola has kindly agreed to talk about Gitlab, an open source web application which he's running his own server for:

------
**GitLab as an OSS solution for organizing work & life**

The issue tracker from GitLab stems from a long history of software developers sweating to make structural sense in their projects. GitHub has to be credited for bringing a much cleaner interface, but GitLab answers the need for an Open Source alternative.

It turns out that the issue tracker covers plenty of features that refined, general purpose (but proprietary) task managers have.

This talk will:

- Quickly cover why you might be interested at adopting GitLab.
- Explain how to set it up for your home (not public on gitlab.com).
- Show a live example.

I will send a document that explains the set-up, step by step.

I hope to see you there - and if you'd like to give a talk at a future meeting, please get in touch!

Thanks,
Thomas
