b'Gitter is exiting GitLab and entering the Matrix\\u2026ok, we couldn\\u2019t help ourselves with that one. Today we\\u2019re joined by Sid Sibrandij (CEO of GitLab) and Matthew Hodgson (technical co-founder of Matrix) to discuss the acquisition of Gitter. A little backstory to tee things up\\u2026back in 2017 GitLab announced the acquisition of Gitter to help push their idea of chatops within GitLab.
