Hi everyone!
ForgeFed is a project aiming to define a protocol and a vocabulary for federation of project hosting and collaboration platforms (forges), and get it implemented in the existing forges such as GitLab CE, Gitea and so on.
Federation is based on ActivityPub with some tweaks and new vocabulary :)
I'm working on a demo, implementing federation in a forge called Vervis. Earlier today I deployed 2 test instances for this! More details and links soon :)

@forgefed Do you see GitHub being a part of this? I hope so, for it's going to be a bear to get hundreds of folks to switch.
@cambridgeport90 githu8 developers can implement the protocol and become a part of the federation, sure. So far the big companies aren't participating in the fediverse. If githu8 does, I hope it will do so as an equal participant, without trying to use its power in an embrace-extend-extinguish manner. Time will tell :)
@fr33domlover I'm planning on moving to GitLab just as quickly as possible..
