This patch is a game changer. Wow!
I really love gitlab, however one thing: I wish you can view people's activity calendar even if the projects are private.

That would show you private information, which is not what we want.
Good to hear you like the integration of CI.
Some potential employers these days are looking at interviewees commit calendars on GitHub; and this is something I can provide to show I'm a very productive coder.
"Go look at my commit history; see I sure do a lot of coding."
So I agree with you about keeping the information private, but I think this could be solved by doing something like this.
- Public Activity:
Display detailed information. Commit number, message, repo. (What you are showing today)
(Username) made X(number) of commits to private repo/s today.That said, I don't think amount of activity or nr of commits should be indicative of anything for any good employer.
I also don't know if this is enough of an argument to change this in GitLab. I prefer to choose the privacy-preferable option.
