+\subsubsection*{Some notes about using GitLab.}
+Please take the following into account with respect to our GitLab server:
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item You can login to GitLab using your LUMC account.
+ \item If you don't have an LUMC account, ask us to create a GitLab account
+ for you and select {\em Standard} instead of {\em LDAP} on the login
+ page.
+ \item Due to the LUMC firewall, accessing repositories using SSH is only
+ possible from the LUMC network (and not from the LUMC gast network). As an
+ alternative, you can always use HTTPS but the downside is that you have to
+ keep repeating your password.
+ \item Our GitLab server is very similar (in fact, it is a clone) to the
+ popular online GitHub (\texttt{https://github.com}) and Bitbucket
+ (\texttt{https://bitbucket.org}) services.
+\end{itemize}
