@forgefriends is radically transparent and the first draft of the grant application to fund my work on the Friendly Forge Format is published.It will be sent to @NGIZero Assure in two weeks time.Criticisms, proofreading and suggestions are very welcome until then.If you support the project, a comment on the forum would be fantastic 🚀 Transparency in funding is unusual: there is a good chance it helps competing proposals 💸 . But it feels right for some reason.https://forum.forgefriends.org/t/ngi-assure-call-deadline-01-08-2022/796

I wrote down my long term vision for #forge #federation. A constellation of forges, where Free Software is grown locally and organically 🌱 @forgefriends @gitea @hostea @forgefed @codeberg #framagit are pieces of this puzzle, each developed with ❤️ There is no need for mega forges with millions of projects and tenths of millions of people ruled by a centralized power. ☠️ They must vanish and make room for thousands of small forges communicating with each other. 🤝 https://blog.dachary.org/2022/07/21/hostea-a-seed-to-create-a-constellation-of-free-software-forges/

Do you want @gitea to move out of #GitHub and self-host? Now is the time to say so.https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/21247

The Gitea Ltd company took over the @Gitea project.The domains & trademark, previously under the governance of elected community leaders are now owned by a for-profit corporation based in Hong Kong.I work daily on the Gitea codebase as part of my efforts to further forge federation in @forgefriends and did not get any advance warning, just as most volunteer contributors.I would welcome, use, contribute and support to a fork of Gitea with a healthy governance.https://forum.forgefriends.org/t/gitea-limited-company/917

@gitea @forgefriends Lunny was the legitimate owner of the trademark and the domain because he was elected by the community. Under the promise to transfer ownership to future elected owners.Gitea Ltd has not been elected by community members and yet, it now owns both.As a consequence, the domains and trademark are no longer under the governance of the Gitea community.https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#owners

@gitea @forgefriends This is literally what the Gitea documentation reads:> When the new owners have been elected, the old owners will give up ownership to the newly elected owners.It does not say "except for the domain and the trademark" which are two very significant assets (if not the most significant) a Free Software project owns.https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#owners

@stevenroose @forgefriends I'm all in favor of DCO (Developer Certificate of Origin) instead of a single organization running the project owning all the copyright.I've been told that a number of companies requiring CLA (Contributor License Agreement) changed their views on the matter. Because they keep piling up and lawyers need to deal with them forever 😃

@stevenroose @forgefriends trademark is a different topic though. I'm not aware of any way to declare a trademark to be in the public domain.The only way to achieve that is for the trademark to be used during years by a large number of third parties without any objection from the owner of the trademark.In other words, if left undefended for long enough a trademark de-facto falls in the public domain as it becomes increasingly difficult for the owner to go to court after years of neglect.

Sign the #GiteaOpenLetter demanding the domains and trademark are given back to the @Gitea Community now!Everyone wants to believe this takeover is just a misunderstanding and fortunately there is a simple fix:* A non-profit organisation owned by the Gitea community is created.* The Gitea trademark and domains are transferred to the non-profit.* The name of the company is changed to avoid any confusion with the non-profit.https://gitea-open-letter.coding.social/

Please donate (or pay for) hardware to @Codeberg: it will help the CI.Yesterday I added CI to Codeberg and it runs reliably. But it's also slower than it could be. Codeberg is a non-profit and only has limited hardware resources to dedicate to continuous integration.If you are a hosting company with a decent hardware (minimum 128GB RAM, 24 core, SSD) to donate, it will be put to good use.It could also be paying the bill for the next few years to a hosting company.https://matrix.to/#/#codeberg-ci:obermui.de

@forgejo I'm really looking forward to work on #forge #federation in the context of #Forgejo. Collaboration in a friendly community led non-profit environment is where I am most productive and comfortable.I feel privileged to be among so many good people building #Forgejo day after day in an democratic and transparent way. ❤️

@a In a federated universe Paxos is a must. We're a long way to actually using it but that day will come.

@geewee @Toasterson @forgejo chasing GitHub 100% compatibility is not what Forgejo is after. The syntax is very similar and some actions may work unmodified, if you're lucky. But Forgejo Actions is not a drop in replacement for GitHub actions: changes will be required most of the time. And there is one thing that is new: native LXC support for isolation which also allows it to be systemd capable.

@danslerush @Codeberg @forgejo Yes, Codeberg disabled mirroring on purpose. I think it's documented somewhere https://docs.codeberg.org/

@bernat in the context of @forgejo is looking for a user research freelance. Since the discussion we had end of last year nothing was done really. But now the circumstances are different: there are people with the right skillset to work on the backend and the frontend. And there is funding.If you are not available (having you would be ideal ✨), would you have a recommendation?
