+You may have noticed that all our GitHub repositories are now mirrors of
+https://gitlab.redox-os.org/. Since the recent acquisition of GitHub by
+Microsoft, a lot of people, including us, start to think about the
+alternatives. We don't necessarily hate Microsoft, but what *would* happen if
+GitHub went down? So for that curiosity we checked out the alternatives, and
+saw all the nice features of GitLab. To mention a few, the self-hosted platform
+is free and open source, it has some cool automatic mirroring features,
+and an integrated CI. And since so many people started checking GitLab out, we
+don't neccesarily have to be the odd ones out!
+
+Signing up to https://gitlab.redox-os.org/ will require a separate account but
+you can sign up with GitHub. We didn't enable the sign in with GitLab option
+yet, ironically. Once in, it's very much what you'd expect of a self-hosted
+GitLab: everybody has a separate account, and there is a redox-os organization
+for all the official stuff. We plan on organizing the repositories in groups as
+well, to clean things up. However, everything is top-level for now to make it
+easier to update links to our GitLab.
