[Userops] Free softwar community hosting

[Jessica Tallon]

Hello,

There have been discussions on IRC and also on a pump.io thread (https://io.theperplexingpariah.co.uk/Tsyesika/note/oBSJrForR9mymrm2CqhCbg) about starting a community run code hosting site with issue tracking since the acquisition and subsequent demise of Gitorious. The following projects so far are interested in being a part of this group:

- GNU Mediagoblin

- My personal projects (Pamrel, PyPump, etc.)

- Inboxen (possibly)

- snowdrift.coop

The site would only accept projects which are fully free software, those being under GPL compatible licenses. It will be run by the community and funded hopefully by the community. I am willing to donate:

- VPS (probably a bitfolk one)

- SSL certificate (not EV but a standard one from gandi)

- A domain

A linode server has also been offered by Simon Fondrie-Teitler (simonft). The current candidates for software seem to be:

- Gitlab (Maybe not as they offer a proprietary version and have a CLA)

- Phabricator (Also has a CLA but no proprietary version)

- Gogs (written in Go, and pretty new)

The one which has more or less been ruled out is Kallithea as it doesn’t have an issue tracker or SSH authentication which is unfortunate as that would have been a good choice (Free software wise).

Thanks,

Jessica Tallon.
