As most of you have probably already heard, Powow AS has aquired Gitorious:
http://blog.gitorious.org/2013/08/20/powow-as-acquires-gitorious-as/ In the short term, Thomas, Christian and I will be working with the Powow team during a transitional period, but eventually they will take on all our current responsabilities. I'm confident that Gitorious will be getting more attention than it gets today, with more people involved. There's a presentation of the team in the blog post referenced above, and you'll se that the new team is bigger than the current one, which is good news for Gitorious as an OSS project. The new team also has a designer, which should be really good news for the UI/UX aspects of Gitorious. Apart from the new faces, things should be business as usual. We're planning to deploy Gitorious 3.0 to gitorious.org the coming Monday, which means the current situation with two parallel versions of Gitorious is about to come to an end. 3.0 resolves a lot of issues we've been having with Gitorious, so this should be good news for everyone. I'm really happy with the new code browser in 3.0, and the fact that READMEs are rendered for repositories. Issues should be added to the issue tracker (https://issues.gitorious.org/), which also has a roadmap (https://issues.gitorious.org/projects/gitorious/roadmap) for the planned releases of Gitorious. Merge requests are welcome, as always. The new team is already active on the issue tracker. We're currently working on having the community installer support Gitorious 3.0, we will not consider 3.0 released until there's a supported installer for 3.0. On a personal note, I'd like to thank all of you for the work you have all been doing in suggesting features, reporting and resolving bugs, using Gitorious and helping it become the successful open source project it is today. Having a mature free software alternative for Git hosting is no less important in today's society than it was when Johan Sørensen started the project six years ago. Finally, I'd like you to join me in welcoming the new team. Marcin Kulik is the new tech lead for the Gitorious project, have a look at his pet project http://ascii.io/ to get an idea of the kind of stuff he's done before. He and the rest of the team will be active on #gitorious@freenode, @gitorious on Twitter, the issue tracker and here on the mailing list.
