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.

Roughly speaking our grassroots commons faces 3 challenges..

1. Tyranny of small decisions. Uncoordinated action makes it impossible to collaborate at scale

2. Herding of cats. Attempts to govern fiercely independent autonomous people doomed to fail

3. Tragedy of the commons. Unsustainable imbalance between value extraction and delivery

What ailed @forgefed for a long time is that everyone is interested for to become the real deal, yet no one was working on it, no feedback.

GitLab CFO, Brian Robins, says they are “aligned with the goals of DOGE, because the company’s software tools aim to help people do more with less. What the Department of Government Efficiency is trying to do is what GitLab does.”

You either support fascism or you don’t. It’s binary. There’s no gray area or “aligning.”

Considering GitLab? Don’t. Use @Codeberg.

PS. Here’s where to go: @Codeberg

codeberg.org

(As an additional bonus, you’ll have the peace of mind of knowing you’re part of an anti-fascist not-for-profit cooperative instead of a trillion-dollar US corporation that’s helping Israel commit genocide.)

@aral Is #Gitlab a good alternative?

Das ist so feist, dass meine Abteilung jetzt doch vom eher etwas rudimentären Mattermost-Kanban zum Gitlab-Issue-Management umgezogen ist.

Sehr schön auch, dass alle in der Abteilung damit einverstanden waren, dass alle aus dem Haus mit Gastrolle (erlaubt Kommentare in Tickets und Mentions) alles sehen dürfen. So eine Haltung ist nicht selbstverständlich.

Das macht so Spaß.

#gitlab #kanban #abteilungsorganisation

So far, some organisations are differentiating themselves by having nothing to do with the #MOLE Training craze. Or developing modest, fully libre versions of the tech in-house, for a few specific features appropriate to its few strengths (eg auto-translation). When the bubble finally bursts (soon, perhaps?), these orgs will come out of it with their credibility intact.

Meanwhile those that leaned into the hype will have to rebuild theirs from scratch. Looking at you @gitlab.

#Gitlab just closed the issue about supporting #ActivityPub. Kai Armstrong says "our current focus isn't in this area".

This is very sad, I really think this could have been a pretty good match *espacially* for Gitlab. It could have been a puzzle piece in how to do federated open source coordination. You know, the problem with "not wanting to be on github, but kinda finding it convenient everyone has an account already".

https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/11247#note_2597450590

Sometimes it really does help if a lot of people comment. The #ActivityPub issue was reopened by #Gitlab:

Crisis averted, #GitLab reopened the epic on #ActivityPub / #ForgeFed implementation. 😊

They made it clear, though, that they're not going to do it themselves in any foreseeable future, their "current focus isn't in this area", so it's up to the community to implement it. As I mentioned in the issue, I won't be able to come back to it until I'm done bootstraping the business I'm working on, so anyone who wants to see it done faster should feel free to jump in.

And #forgejo already has a level of #ActivityPub federation support, like for federated stars:

https://domaindrivenarchitecture.org/posts/2024-06-05-howto-federated-stars

Hopefully with @forgefed adoption on the roadmap too, where this open standard supported by @NGIZero has been significantly progressed, but needs implementers in active feedback loops to refine and mature the specs.
