Hi rafaelff1,

I'm Rolf Bjaanes, CEO of Gitorious, and you are receiving this email
because you have a user on gitorious.org.

As you may know, Gitorious was acquired by GitLab
<http://mandrillapp.com/track/click/30589491/about.gitlab.com?p=eyJzIjoiQmxXT2t3RU5Mb0NaOU1QTERMbTU1Z1owbFYwIiwidiI6MSwicCI6IntcInVcIjozMDU4OTQ5MSxcInZcIjoxLFwidXJsXCI6XCJodHRwczpcXFwvXFxcL2Fib3V0LmdpdGxhYi5jb21cXFwvMjAxNVxcXC8wM1xcXC8wM1xcXC9naXRsYWItYWNxdWlyZXMtZ2l0b3Jpb3VzXFxcL1wiLFwiaWRcIjpcIjgzMjVkZGE1NTVjYzQ4MTI5Y2RmNWMwOGRjYTE5NzliXCIsXCJ1cmxfaWRzXCI6W1wiZjBlMmE5NjQ2MDMwZTk5YzhjZTIwNDFkNzRhNDZlYzNmOTZlYzYxM1wiXX0ifQ>
about a month ago, and we announced that Gitorious.org would be shutting
down at the end of May, 2015.

After the announcement we talked to the Archive Team
<http://mandrillapp.com/track/click/30589491/archiveteam.org?p=eyJzIjoiZDNLOEhtLVJiWGhYbnJ4LXowdnEtRGNwb044IiwidiI6MSwicCI6IntcInVcIjozMDU4OTQ5MSxcInZcIjoxLFwidXJsXCI6XCJodHRwOlxcXC9cXFwvYXJjaGl2ZXRlYW0ub3JnXFxcL1wiLFwiaWRcIjpcIjgzMjVkZGE1NTVjYzQ4MTI5Y2RmNWMwOGRjYTE5NzliXCIsXCJ1cmxfaWRzXCI6W1wiMzM5YjMwYzk0Y2M3MzlmNzczOWM4OTM1MGQ0ZDg4Y2QwOTI3M2JjYlwiXX0ifQ>
about how to preserve Gitorious.org and its data for the future. A member
of the Archive Team graciously offered to host gitorious.org as a read-only
archive on Gitorious.org and GitLab agreed to allow to use the
Gitorious.org domain name for this.

This is a huge benefit to anyone depending on gitorious.org as repositories
will remain available at the same location. Cloning and fetching will
continue to work as well. Projects you may depend on will stay around even
if it isn't moved to GitLab.

In order to build the archive we need to make Gitorious.org read-only prior
to the shutdown date. This ensures that no new data is coming in while we
are migrating. Pushing changes and creating new repositories will therefore
stop working from the 15th of May, 2015.

If you need to push changes, create new repositories and generally
collaborate on code, I highly recommend using the migration tool available
on gitlab.com

Are you using Gitorious in a professional capacity or need help to migrate
your existing Gitorious instance to GitLab? Send an email to
sales at gitlab.com and tell them I sent you.

I realise that all of this may be a major inconvenience, and for that I
sincerely apologise, but I hope you appreciate the efforts we are putting
into making it as painless as we can.
