Congrats to our friends over at Travis CI. A dollar amount wasn’t mentioned for this acquisition and I don’t know enough of the backstory to be able to tell if this, is in fact a good thing or a bad thing for Travis CI. It sounds like there aren’t any planned changes coming out of the gate with the acquisition, so that’s a good start.

Regarding the state of Travis CI open source, Konstantin had this to say…

Open source is at the heart of Travis CI. We will continue to maintain a free, hosted service for open source projects, and will keep building features for the open source community. Additionally, our code will stay open source and under an MIT license. This is who we are, this is what made us successful.

Travis CI announced the merging of their worlds to combine their .org (open source) and .com (paid) efforts under one roof. Smart move!

Over time we found two platforms lead to confusion for people using travis-ci.org extensively, or together with travis-ci.com … when we decided to move our GitHub integration to GitHub Apps at the beginning of this year, we realized it was a great opportunity to dive into merging travis-ci.org and travis-ci.com into a single platform.
