About

Organizational goals

According to its bylaws, Codeberg e.V. is organized as a non-profit, collaborative organization. Its primary goals are to provide services for the development and distribution of Free content and Free and open-source software (FOSS).[8]

Funding

Codeberg e.V. is funded through donations.[9]

History

2019: Founding

In January 2019, Codeberg e.V. launched with an initial 25 members and began publishing monthly newsletters on the status of its main project Codeberg.org.[10]

The organization selected the European Union for their headquarters and computer infrastructure, due to members' concerns that a software project repository hosted in the United States could be removed if a malicious actor made bad faith copyright claims under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.[11]

Current statusActive

Codeberg.org is a collaborative development environment hosted at codeberg.org, a Forgejo-based software forge. Codeberg.org is maintained by Codeberg e.V.[16]

In addition to the core software forge and bug tracker functionality provided by Forgejo, Codeberg.org has over time introduced related services such as Codeberg Pages (a basic website hosting service for projects hosted on Codeberg), a Weblate translation server, and a Woodpecker CI server.

As of June 2023, Codeberg hosts over 78,000 open-source projects by over 64,000 users.[14]

History

2018: Predecessor project

After Microsoft's 2018 purchase of GitHub, developers Holger Wächtler, Thomas Boerger, and David Schneiderbauer forked software forge software Gitea with a project called TeaHub.[17][18][19]

2019: Codeberg.org operational

In January 2019, Codeberg.org publicly launched.[15][13] After one month, the Codeberg e.V. organization had 25 members, and Codeberg.org hosted 333 repositories with 379 users.[20]

2022: Integration of Forgejo

As of December 2022, the Codeberg.org website uses Forgejo[21][22], a software fork of the Gitea software forge.

Reception

In 2020, Ade Malsasa Akbar wrote in a review for ubuntubuzz.com that he believed anybody from the FLOSS community would be interested in Codeberg, especially those looking for a GitHub alternative.[23]

In June 2022 the Software Freedom Conservancy's "Give Up Github" campaign (in response to the GitHub Copilot licensing controversy) promoted Codeberg as an alternative to GitHub.[24] As a result, Codeberg gained increased visibility in the open-source community,[25][26] and a number of major open source projects migrated to Codeberg.[27][28][29]
