Just out of curiosity, are you a core contributor to the gitlab project? Or did you build a SaaS around the existing OSS work that had been done?

I'm not a core contributor, we're building on the work that was already done. However, we are working fulltime on this and we work in the open and are sending all our work upstream. So we hope to become core contributors and help the Gitlab project flourish. Read more on http://blog.gitlab.com/contributions/
I started Gitlab.com last month and we already have more than 250 people who have created an account.
Many companies are already using Gitlab behind their firewall: Phusion, Thomson Reuters, Michigan State University, see the bottom of the Gitlab.org front page for more.
The fact that the source code is on Github is ironic, we need public repo's to change it: http://gitlab.uservoice.com/forums/176466-general/suggestion...
