+#### Verification for Open Source program
+
+As part of the [application verification process](https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/open-source/join/), you must upload three screenshots.
+These screenshots are needed to qualify you for the GitLab for Open Source program.
+
+- [OSI-approved license overview](#license-overview)
+- [OSI-approved license file](#license-file)
+- [Publicly visible settings](#publicly-visible-settings)
+
+##### OSI-approved license
+
+You must apply an [OSI-approved license](https://opensource.org/licenses/) to each project in your group before you can be verified.
+
+Add the license to the LICENSE file so that it shows up in the overview section of the project. This allows contributors to see it at a glance.
+
+It's best to copy and paste the entire license into the file in its original form. GitLab defaults to **All rights reserved** if no license file is mentioned.
+You must ensure that you add the correct license to each project within your group.
+
+After you ensure that you are using OSI-approved licenses for your projects, you can take your screenshots.
+
+###### License overview
+
+Go to **Project Overview > Details**. Take a screenshot that includes a view of the license you've chosen for your project.
+
+![License overview](img/license-overview.png)
+
+###### License file
+
+Navigate to one of the license files that you uploaded. You can usually find the license file by selecting **Project Overview > Details** and scanning the page for the license.
+Make sure the screenshot includes the title of the license.
+
+![License file](img/license-file.png)
+
+##### Publicly visible settings
+
+The goal of the GitLab for Open Source program is to enable collaboration on open source projects.
+As a pre-condition to collaboration, people must be able to view the open source project.
+As a result, we ask that all projects under this license are publicly visible.
+
+Follow these instructions to take a screenshot of the publicly visible settings:
+
+ 1. Go to your project and select **Settings**. 
+ 1. Expand **Visibility, project features, permissions**.
+ 1. Set **Project Visibility** to **Public**.
+ 1. Ensure others can request access by selecting the **Users can request access** checkbox.
+ 1. Take the screenshot. Include as much of the publicly visible settings as possible. Make sure to include your project's name in the
+    upper-left of the screenshot.
+
+![Publicly visible setting](img/publicly-visible.png)
+
+NOTE:
+From time to time, GitLab allows exceptions. One or two projects within a group can be private if there is a legitimate need for it, for example,
+if a project holds sensitive data. Email `opensource@gitlab.com` with details of your use case to request written permission for exceptions. 
+
+### GitLab for Startups
+
+For qualifying startups, the [GitLab for Startups](https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/startups/) program provides 
+the top GitLab tier, plus 50,000 CI minutes per month for 12 months. 
+
+For more information, including program requirements, see the [Startup program's landing page](https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/startups/). 
+
+Send all questions and requests related to the GitLab for Startups program to `startups@gitlab.com`.
