#forgefederation — Public Fediverse posts

It seems like @forgefed's grant funding ran out and the entire project has just been left hanging, unfinished. This is a potentially important project, so this is really frustrating.

But really, anything important enough to get grant funding probably ought to keep going after the grant funding ends. Maybe grant-making orgs could provide some kind of support for projects transitioning out of funded work sprints, back into volunteer-driven coordination?

GitLab is dropping plans to pursue federation features like distributed merge requests. Sad, but not very surprising to me.

However, @forgefed and related specifications are still a thing and @forgejo is still working on supporting that, see https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/federation and https://forgefed.org/!

It's been far too long since I haven't updated this properly, but here's a snapshot of some open source communities that have already moved off GritHub;

It seems like forge federation is a harder problem to crack than we thought when BorgSoft bought GH. But I'm still hopeful that one day, many of these forges will interoperate to create the experience of a unified code forging space.

Thanks for sharing @sarahjamielewis, great to see more work being done on independent code-forging. Have you given any consideration to interoperation with other forges? Eg implementing @forgefed along with @forgejo and others who are working on that. Or using Git's inbuilt features to interop with SourceHut instances.

#TIL about #GitWorkshop;

"Gitworkshop.dev, git-remote-nostr and ngit are tools to enable code collaboration over nostr. Gitworkshop.dev provides a visual interface to discuss proposals and open issues. git-remote-nostr enables proposal creation, review and incorporation using standard git tooling. ngit handles repository setup and advanced proposal submission."

Great stuff. The more we ignore the BorgSoft propaganda that HutGub is where the action is and move elsewhere, the less true that propaganda is.

Bring on forge federation!

Is the recent #Fediverse #spam wave over? We hope so. Thanks to all #instanceAdmins for cleaning this up.

What can we learn from this? Some thoughts regarding #ForgeFederation: https://blog.codeberg.org/what-we-can-learn-from-the-fediverse-spam-for-codeberg.html

It would be useful to have a #BugReporting platform that works independently of individual projects.

The interface would walk you through describing exactly what's bugging you, and help you tag in all the software projects that might be implicated. A triage process would then figure out which piece of software is actually causing the bug. The issue thread for the bug can then be cloned to the issue tracker of that project.

This would be much easier to do with #ForgeFederation.

After a long break, I just started updating the list of community-hosted code forges here;

... as well as the brief intro to forge decentralisation projects at the top. If you have a P2PF wiki account, feel free to contribute. Otherwise, feel free to hit me up here with things that need updating.
