Open Webinar, 19 January 2022 at 10.00 UTC+1

What if you could easily collaborate with any free software project, no matter where it is hosted? Use the Github UI to discuss issues on a remote Gitea code forge project. Send a Merge Request from Gitlab to Github. Have you and your team members, all your project contributors, everyone working from their own favourite environment. Use your code forge of choice to collaborate. Just like you also freely choose your email provider to communicate with others.

This is the objective and vision that the forgefriends community is working hard to realize. Its members, all forge friends, strive to allow seamless interoperability between code forges by adding federation support. Using the Fediverse and open standards such as ActivityPub and DVCS they will enable free software development to liberate itself from centralized platforms that lock projects in with their network effects and FOMO.

In this webinar you will learn about the importance of forge federation, and what it means to be "a friend of code forges". The various community projects are introduced, with brief explanation how they work and what is on the roadmap. Anyone is highly encouraged to contribute and become a forge friend too. Each presentation is followed by a Q&A session where you can ask the presenter how you can jump in.

So I spend little more than half an hour and just tooted an image I created with some of the hashtags we brainstormed at Fediverse Town. This version is higher-res, licensed CC0.

Found this news via Michael Downey's toot (admin of FLOSS.social:

Cool cool, @Gargron moving all @Mastodon project discussion behind a proprietary walled garden that requires agreement with Microsoft terms of service (and their analytics tracking). Now THAT makes a ton of sense. 🤦‍♂️

#MastoAdmin #Mastodon #OpenSource #FreeSoftware #FLOSS #privacy

I suggest the most useful place to provide feedback is the Discourse thread, if you are a member of the Mastodon community forum.

It is a pity because there's interesting stuff going on that goes the fedi direction. I replied to Michael:

What is interesting is that both for #Discourse and for #Gitea there are plans to add federation support. In Gitea the first commits are already made after @forgefriends graciously made some money available from their own project budget. AFAIU they did not get @NGIZero grant, but will continue nonetheless.

And as for Discourse. The Pavilion plugin builders have shown interest to start in 2022 their #Fediverse entry. See Discourse will be joining the Fediverse

I hope both these projects do commence, as I consider them both very important for the #Fediverse as a whole. In any case they should get any encouragement and help we can give if only spreading the word on these intentions, like I do now.

Consider joining the Forgefriends community if you are passionate to help break code forge walled gardens, specifically Github.

 

I think a great use case for this Community would be to ask other people to interact with projects on Github/Gitlab on their behalf, and report back the link to new issues or issue comments to the Community.

The URL attached to this post is an example of that, where Pilou created an issue in the Gitea tracker on behalf of Loïc who does not have a Github account for ethical reasons.

(Gitea is still on Github, but they intend to dogfood their own code forge any time soon. The issue Pilou created deals with adding ForgeFed-based federation support to Gitea. See this issue for details. FedeProxy community is trying to speed this up, by arranging funding).

You 💖 love Fediverse, right? It's vibrant unique culture and the lovely people you meet. You want to protect it, increase its beauty, see more applications interoperate seamlessly. You know that you are part of a 'reimagining of social networking' that is much needed, as traditional social media are destroying the fabric of society.

What you may not know is that:

  • The Fediverse is still incredibly weak. That it has a tiny community of technologists that evolve it, and that this process is stalling as people are absorbed in their own projects. ("The Tragedy of the Grassroots Movement?")

  • That what Fediverse currently offers is just the tiny tip of the iceberg. That humongous potential still lies dormant, waiting to be explored. That we can go way beyond microblogging features that dominate the fedi now.

  • That YOU are instrumental in tapping this potential, and that you don't have to be a techie to help with that.

At SocialHub community we come together to improve the Fediverse, evolve its standards and the ecosystem. And regardless of your skills and expertise we need all the help we can get to move forwards, to progress this thing we love.

Throw off your individualism and become a fedi builder. It's a win-win for all. We are 'United in Diversity' and should build together. Join SocialHub as member and interact. And also join Fediverse Futures on Lemmy to brainstorm on exciting ideas.

We are Spiral Island still, and can become a sprawling archipelago.

Hi there fellow fedizen, it is great to see you in this community 😊

Why did I create this space, you ask? Well, first of all because Lemmy rocks of course, and I wanted to be part of the fun.

Fediverse Futures: Visions & Dreams

This community will focus on the future of the fediverse mostly. Because our potential is humongous and remains largely untapped. Fedi has come a long way, and has explored 'doing social media differently'. Free, libre and open software, a great online culture, tremendous diversity and wonderful people.

It is time to go beyond microblogging and - like Lemmy and other splendid apps - go way further in the realm of possiblities. The dream of Fediverse Futures is ...

"Social Media Reimagined"

Yeah, that's right. We should go wild in exploring what is possible. Dream our most beautiful dreams, and cooperatively work on materializing them. Make them real.

In this space we'll brainstorm and ideate, letting our imagination run free. This community is a companion to Fediverse Futures that exists at SocialHub. This community is non-technical at heart. It is for everyone dreaming fedi dreams.

Visionary ideas discussed here, can be taken further on the SocialHub forum to be elaborated and further flesh them out with more technical discussion.
