Thanks for posting @poVoq@lemmy.ml :)
I’m one of the authors of ForgeFlux. As @humanetech@lemmy.ml mentioned, we have we webinar in a couple of hours but I’ll be happy to answer any questions that folks might have here :)
This is a test account so please don’t tag this account outside of this post :)
Thanks for posting @poVoq. ForgeFlux is yet another great development for the Fediverse. The project has joined forces under the forgefriends community umbrella.
Actually tomorrow there’s a webinar on forge federation at 10:00am CET (UTC+1):
Forge federation: How forge friends want to liberate your code
Agenda
- Forge federation: An overview from 10,000 feet by Loïc Dachary
- Go-Fed: ActivityPub and ForgeFed foundations in Golang by cjslep
- ForgeFlux: Using forge API’s and adapters to interoperate by Aravinth Manivannan
- Gitea: Update and plans for adding federation support by techknowlogick
- Forgefriends: Contributing an incremental import/export to Gitea by Loïc Dachary
- Funding Free Software projects in a transparent way
The webinar will be recorded for those who cannot attend.
I wish this supports current Federation plans on Gitea and also helps to federate NotABug.
I wish this supports current Federation plans on Gitea
We’ve reached out to the Gitea team regarding this and we are optimistic about a positive response from them. But we are working inbuilt support for Gitea(try looking up
@!realaravinth!tmp!issue!3@dev.batsense.neton Pleroma*)also helps to federate NotABug
I’m not sure how different Gitea is from Gogs but support should be trivial but we plans for official support only for Gitea, Source Hut, GitLab and GitHub at the moment.
*: dev.batsense.net is running on my development machine so availability might be spotty :)
If GitHub is supported in the Federation, would not that mean that most people there won’t just move?
It is true that could allow other people to contribute to projects there though.
ForgeFlux is scaffolding for native federation. I hope federation becomes popular and forges modify and adapt ForgeFlux for more robust federation capabilities(or implement native federation). But I have a feeling that we won’t see native/improved federation on GitHub very soon which will cause friction for GitHub users participating in federated ecosystem and hopefully motivate them to migrate.
I hope projects on GitHub migrate to a libre forge, but that also won’t happen for a very long time. At least this way, non-GitHub users can participate in projects hosted on GitHub without depending on someone to represent them.
