Some points:
- Maybe find a good name for "About & Help". "Info" might do. Just a single word.
- We could add info on which Ruby version is used? https://ariejan.net/2012/04/02/showing-ruby-rails-and-git-info-in-your-app

Some suggestions from me :)
- Add an help icon to the top bar
- Call the about link what it is: "About GitLab" try not mixing it with "Help" at first
- On the about page itself create a better visual structure:
- Introduction "You are using GitLab. GitLab is an open source code hosting solution built around Git."
- Getting news: Website, twitter, etc.
- Issues: Self help (e.g. using the help pages, searching) -> Ask local support (add an
support_emailoption togitlab.yml) -> Ask Support Forum -> Follow contribution guide to submit an issue on GitHub - Improving/Extending GitLab: follow contribution guide, find us on GitHub, ...
- in appropriate places "embed" the CONTRIBUTING.md (hidden at first but expandable, e.g.below the "Help us make GitLab more awsome ..." line)
- Group the help links (like on the bottom of GitHub) (use columns like "Administration", "Hooks/APIs", "Usage")

While I like the setup, I think 'About Gitlab' and 'Getting help' blocks could reside next to each other for better page filling. Also 'About this installation' should be put on top.

Better. Why is there an 'Getting Help' text block and a 'Help' block? Should be merged. 'About Gitlab' should imo be placed as last together with 'Help us make...'.

It looks better and better ... it still needs some refinement though. :) @tristanvanbokkem good remarks. :) There is also no obligation to keep the blocks as is. ;) The middle section needs some love ... it's not yet well laid out.

Don't use them if you don't need them ... IMHO they are not needed here. You can still easily make out the different sections of the page.
