It is not over, it is a new start. The pre GitHub sites like Google code are closing down. But post GitHub sites are alive and growing. At GitLab we see increasing adoption and a fast growing GitLab.com. People want free private repo's, more features and hosting based on open source software.

Glad to hear you're using GitLab :)

Just put the invite program online and it already got 250+ signups through Hacker News http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4428278. I'm curious to know what the Slashdot readers think. Please feel free to comment how I can improve the signup page or the service.
