We're excited to announce the official launch of the #Forgejo project, a community-driven fork of #Gitea under the stewardship of @Codeberg.
Check out https://forgejo.org/2022-12-15-hello-forgejo/ to learn more, including the motivation for the fork, as well as Codeberg's announcement at https://blog.codeberg.org/codeberg-launches-forgejo.html
Come and get involved at https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo or in our Matrix room https://matrix.to/#/#forgejo-chat:matrix.org . We aim to be a fully inclusive community and everyone's participation is welcomed.
@HackerGeno @hostsharing @fsfe I am sad to hear about Gitea surrender to the dark side but same time I am glad to hear about @forgejo standing with the Resistance! #softwarefreedom
@dancesWithCycles @HackerGeno @hostsharing @fsfe Forgejo is a non profit community dedicated to the interest of the general public. Gitea Ltd is a for profit company that will put the interest of its shareholders first.
Very different... but they do not fight. There is a fruitful cooperation at a technical level.
A nice example is how a scaling bug discovered on Codeberg.org while publishing Forgejo container images was fixed by a Gitea contributor.
