With my squishy ☕-adled brain I forgot which large #FOSS project(s) recently chose for #Forgejo adoption to migrate away from either #Gitlab, #Github, or #Atlassian code forges. Can anyone enlighten me?

@forgejo this may be a good one for delightful forgejo curated list. Add an "Major adopters" section..

Just a periodic reminder that Forgejo, the software that powers the open-source GitHub alternative Codeberg, has been working towards implementing federation.

Might be worth contributing, if you have the time and skills!

My son was having some issues getting git configured to play nice with our local #Forgejo server/VM for #TheOdinProject (in lieu of GitHub)

and I didn't know enough so I kept having to dig in to figure out what it was asking him and then try to figure out how to make it work in our setup

anyway long and short of it now we're both doing The Odin Project for #homeschool

The https://forgefed.org developers are extending the specs, and asking for feedback in the issue trackers on #Codeberg, but none is forthcoming.

As a result large crowds root for @forgefed #forge federation to come along, but it will not happen anytime soon at the current pace.

@nlnet through #NGI0 provide funding to #ForgeFed, #Vervis, #Anvil, and also #Forgejo and these people are bravely forging ahead. More community help is needed though.

Same is true for #Gitlab's federation efforts.

@richpuchalsky

#Codeberg is a developer platform based on the #Forgejo code forge software.

#ForgeFed is a protocol specification, an extension of #ActivityPub.

Any #forge can implement ForgeFed and become part of the #fediverse, as it were. This allows devs to interact with projects on remote forge servers as if they were part of their local hub. They can create issues, discuss them, create PR's, define teams.

The social network #Github provides to discover #FOSS projects is now federated.

@richpuchalsky

Now #Codeberg and #Forgejo are among the first forge projects that consider implementing #ForgeFed. They are already busy implementing basic #ActivityPub support at this moment.
