Thanks all for the comments.
For now, what we have is 'mutual promotion of our conferences', and we'll send a micronews about it. If we get people to stuff the booth, it's also an opportunity to promote Debian.
They are interested in writing an article about how Debian uses Gitlab. We chose to participate on it to ensure that the article attention to the Debian needs and perspective, and how could GitLab improve or help towards them ;) This didn't started yet, we'll contact the Debian teams related to Salsa, Salsa-CI soon.
Kind regards
