Organic Maps Mar 27, 2025

GitHub has gone - long live Forgejo (@forgejo).

Fully migrated out of Microsoft’s walled garden after they blocked us:

- 54k commits
- 9.5k issues
- 4.3k pull requests
- 100k comments

Everything moved. Nothing left behind.

@organicmaps @forgejo Thats great news! And not so good at the same time..we all know most contributors are on github, but hopefully it will be as recognizable as it was on github.

Also why github blocked you @organicmaps ?
Another question, why don't you post on @organicmaps ?

@asl @organicmaps @forgejo @organicmaps Some contributor logged on github from a sanctioned by USA area. Its weird for me though, that they are not able to unblock. Anyway its good, github is not so good solution for any bigger FOSS project, that has some funding to keep its infrastructure. I believe Organicmaps team carefully analysed costs required for deploying forejo and its affordable in a long term.
