Dear Computer Graphics Group at RWTH Aachen University, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing because I am unable to clone the OpenMesh repository (and other related projects such as OpenVolumeMesh and CoMISo) from the VCI GitLab instance. When I run: git clone --recursive https://gitlab.vci.rwth-aachen.de:9000/OpenMesh/ OpenMesh.git I receive the following error: fatal: unable to access 'https://gitlab.vci.rwth-aachen.de:9000/OpenMesh/ OpenMesh.git/': Failed to connect to gitlab.vci.rwth-aachen.de port 9000 after 21100 ms: Couldn't connect to server Additionally, I am unable to access the GitLab web pages such as https://www.graphics.rwth-aachen.de:9000/OpenVolumeMesh/OpenVolumeMesh. The connection times out when trying to reach these URLs. Could you please advise on: 1. Whether there are any access restrictions or if the GitLab server is currently experiencing issues? 2. If registration or special permissions are required to access these repositories? Thank you for your time and assistance. Best regards, Suil Hwang
