Open source sustainment and the future of Gitea

Perhaps I'm reading too much into it but to me the communication from this newly formed entity smelled strongly of complete vc capture, and crypto vc at that, assuming the number one sponser got something to do with it (INB).

@yusf thanks, I'd missed the important detail about who owns the trademark etc

It seems there is now a fork of Gitea here : https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo

[yusf]

Codeberg just announced support for Forgejo. It’s a soft fork and a drop-in replacement for Gitea. Let’s switch to a fork with a future.
