Re: Some software became inaccessible

Hi Jörn,

Our IT department has shut down all remote access to our gitlab server, affecting not only gitlab but also pages and container registry. We are (eagerly) awaiting further information from them.

FWIW it is incorrect that we keep most of our software on GitHub - we probably have 95% of it on our internal GitLab instance.

Cheers
A
