Towards federated forges
Presented by: Anthony Wang
Anthony Wang is an MIT student and decentralized web developer. He is a maintainer for the ForgeFed protocol, Forgejo, Fediverse Enhancement Proposals, and a few other decentralized web projects.
Description:
Free software needs free tools! We’re making software development collaboration and hosting websites (a.k.a forges) talk to each other using shared protocols, hopefully allowing the free software community to create a decentralized network of self-hosted forge websites powered by fully free software, and whose UX design is geared towards filling human needs rather than company profits. We’ll explore this vision, talk about (and see) our latest development progress, examine the challenges, and present our roadmap for realizing this dream.
