Wow, #Gentoo moving from GitHub to Codeberg is cool. Haven't run Gentoo for years now but still have a soft spot for it (I learned so much running it as main driver).
I also use Codeberg für my code (and joined the association) but we can't just "move everything to Codeberg". That's neither sustainable nor a good model. We should have more associations like Codeberg to offer those kinds of services. Create a whole web of forges for collaboration while we can watch GitHub go to hell.
@tante Nice! The official statement can be found here, under "Distribution-wide Initiatives": https://www.gentoo.org/news/2026/01/05/new-year.html
@tante My new-years-resolution was to apply for both associations, so it seems I made the right choice there :)
@tante I agree that diversifying our technology providers is the way to go. Monopolies don't work. I am using Sourcehut for my repositories and CI/CD and like it a lot.
@tante yes, an org Like Gentoo I'd expect to be off a size to run their own Forge. Still nice to see them doing the first step, though.
@tante this is part of a larger initiative:
https://forgefed.org/
@tante they have an "alternatives to codeberg" on their about page https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/what-is-codeberg/#alternatives-to-codeberg
@tante maybe the Codeberg people can provide a template how to setup new forges. Not technically, that is already documented, but financially. Maybe we can get universities to join this next of forges. However, they often use gitlab in a self hosted setup.
@tante federated Codeberg
