Does that mean they just changed open-source projects from unlimited build minutes to 400 minutes a month? E.g. a single build a day if your build is 13 min (summing up every job's duration)?

Copying the discussion from http://disq.us/p/2h3tc04

> Jackie Porter: Remram - The 400 minutes per month will be a enhancement, coming in a future milestone for public projects. So, it is not effective immediately. We are researching the amount of minutes across open source contributions to make sure that we do not impact open source contributions in any way!

> Remram: 400 is low for active projects with multiple jobs so this sounds really scary! I am glad this is not set in stone.

> John Coghlan: Open source projects can also apply for the GitLab for Open Source program. Qualifying projects and organizations get 50,000 CI pipeline minutes and free licenses for GitLab's top tiers.
