Assuming the 'AI load' argument is true, moving to GitLab, Codeberg, etc. might not be the solution as with sufficient moves they'd face the same problem.

Also, the visibility and discovery/search possibilities get a lot harder.

Hence, federated forges and a fully distributed cross-forge search option that does not rely on a single point of failure is needed.

Now who's funding the remainder of the way to full forge federation for Forgejo?

We're temporarily pausing the bimonthly open calls with the exception of #NGI Taler & Fediversity. We'll be taking stock of a decade of Next Generation Internet. After the summer the application process will re-open with 3 new programs under the Open Internet Stack (OIS) umbrella.
Ongoing projects are not affected and can continue their important work of providing the building blocks for an open, resilient, and secure internet for all.

Chris Wood, @handrews, and @vincentbiret are longtime, distinguished contributors to the OpenAPI ecosystem.

I feel so grateful and fortunate to work with the @Interledger SDK Grant to fund their efforts to keep advancing free and open source software and standards.

`mise` is a dev environment management tool that Just Works™ when switching between projects and programming languages. I appreciate not needing to remember JavaScript/Python/Ruby-specific dev environment manager commands.

Its creator and lead developer announced he’s going full-time on open source, so I am supporting his work with an annual donation.

Do you have thoughts on how the @EUCommission should support and fund free and open source software, part of the "digital commons"?

Do you have thoughts on its upcoming "Open Internet Stack" program?

If so, please take this 20 minute survey by the end of the week!

We are excited to support @swf as it explores healthier online spaces and more resilient economic models.

Social networks and payment networks both benefit from a decentralized, federated network topology. Interoperability standards make it possible for communities to govern themselves locally while remaining globally connected—socially and financially.
