Apologies, hit reply too fast. Sure, I’ll get in touch with them to find out what that means. That would be great, thanks. It's clear that we eventually want to have an alternative to Gravatar... let Andrea, "wicked" or me know what are your findings. Cheers On Thu, 20 Sep 2018 at 18:03,

Re: [GitLab] Gravatar vs libravatar

There has been indeed many things I didn't realize back then! This has got an overwhelming positive outcome, so seems replacing Gravatar by libravatar is the way forward. We will replace it in two weeks if no blocker appears. Thanks all! On Tue, 4 Sep 2018 at 18:00, Tobias Mueller wrote: >
