There’s also a more community-driven/open source fork of Gitea, called Forgejo: https://forgejo.org/

discuss

I love Forgejo. I recently started a project to exit my business (and eventually personal) git from Github. Gitea was my target having ruled out GitLab based on prior experience administering an instance, but I ended up going with a Forgejo and I am glad I did. The Gitea shenanigans around the for-profit entity and its opaque ownership structure were mainly what left a bad taste in my mouth, but there were a few other more minor factors that were use case specific. Fedora recently decided to switch to Forgejo, which is quite a feather in their cap.

I also was somewhat skeptical that a git hosting platform that had a business behind it with enterprise oriented offerings wasn’t yet self-hosting in the technical sense.

Same here. Forgejo is amazing and their development velocity is soaring. And https://codeberg.org is a great host for FOSS projects, in a way I wished Sourcehut would've been except that it leaned hard into some (to me) strange workflow choices.

I'm glad I made the switch.

The Gitea project is still community-driven and has the same yearly elections for leadership that has been around for close to a decade now :)

edit: Gitea is fully MIT and per our governance charter that cannot change

[1] mentions changes to the election process that mandates half of the oversight committee to be appointed by the Gitea company. Doesn't that conflict with your assertion that the "same yearly elections" have been around?

Where can one find the governance charter for the Gitea project?

This is nice in theory, but what happens when a community member wants to implement SAML for the community edition, or other premium features?
