That, and anybody can just create a Gentoo org for free without any |
| 8 |
kind of official sanction and without any need to host anything. |

Since gitlab.com isn't free (as in beer) somebody would need to |
| 11 |
officially apply on behalf of Gentoo to get an instance hosted by |
| 12 |
them. So, that means that there is no unofficial free cloud hosting, |
| 13 |
and it will only exist if somebody goes to the considerable trouble to |
| 14 |
have it set up on infra (or they host it themselves, which seems |
| 15 |
likely to have adoption challenges), or get everbody to agree to |
| 16 |
request having it set up with the semi-free (as in freedom) cloud |
| 17 |
option. |

The reason everybody is using Github is because it provides |
| 20 |
functionality not available on Gentoo infra, and it is very easy to |
| 21 |
use as an alternative. |
