In light of GitHub going full genAI agents, which will likely lead to a flood of garbage PRs that will make dependabot nags a joke:

Would other foss maintainers with projects on GitHub be interested in some kind of event where we all get together and try moving our projects over to @Codeberg?

I’m thinking of it as a way to both promote our foss projects, provide mutual support during the moves, find solutions to small cuts we run into along the way, and just generally have fun together?

Boosts and ideas welcome!

If anyone is interested in talking more about this or participating, even if you’re not a core maintainer for a project, I’ve created Discord and Matrix places we can start chatting in: https://discord.gg/fcSeuv56qp and https://matrix.to/#/%23nohub:matrix.org

@zkat You might get more people from our community onboarded if they don't need to join #Discord in order to participate. 😉

Most people over here are on #Matrix, #XMPP, #IRC or #Signal.

@Codeberg I’ve had very mixed results with e.g. matrix fwiw, even as a former p active advocate, which is why I tend to reach for discord first. I can try making a matrix channel though and see what happens
