Hi Bob, GitLab is still free for open source projects. But we need to register the project as an open source project with GitLab for that to take effect.
I did attempt to do this a few months back before the more limited quotas kicked in, but I never heard back. If anyone else would like to repeat the registration, that might resolve the problem as well. https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/open-source/join/ is the URL for that. Another strategy would be to register a GitLab runner and host it ourselves. This sidesteps the CI minute quota entirely. I've already got one running I use for my own projects, which is a simple Alpine-based docker host which replaces the GitLab docker runners, but I can't provide 24/7 connectivity for it.
