The first thing that people see when visiting https://codeberg.org is the following: "Software development, but free!"
However, projects hosted on Codeberg are not necessarily by developers of software—on the other hand, deciding on a new slogan can be difficult and contentious, as first impressions really matter (and there's not a lot of space there).
So, one of the people controlling the social media account decided to ask the fediverse: Any good ideas?
@Codeberg You are welcome to contribute!
@Codeberg "Insert another catchy slogan here" (not my own work, though, saw it somewhere else)
@Codeberg [1/2] How about "a friendly shelter for everything libre"?
When I think of a mountain, I think of a journey, a great feat - something to be intimidated by.
I feel as if it would be more appropriate to look at Codeberg as a safe place, and not the focal point of a creation. Shelters are places where people of similar goals meet and organize, which sounds pretty accurate.
@Codeberg
Share and collaborate freely
@[email protected] it feels like the only common point across everyone using Codeberg will be version control and the usage restrictions set by server policy. "Shared history for open projects"?
@Codeberg "Free, libre, and open-source software forge"
@sanityinc Personally, this sounds more like Codeberg being software you download, rather than being a git forge for the most part...
Either lines made by you or @andrewrk are imo more fitting for forgejo.
@andre_601 @andrewrk the original message says "projects hosted on Codeberg are not necessarily by developers of software"
@Codeberg Software. For Everyone.
Keep in mind that this is explicitly not a public vote, but rather a "call for inspiration", if we may. We'd rather avoid a Boaty McBoatface (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boaty_McBoatface) type of situation, but humorous suggestions remain nevertheless welcome! 😉
Tip: A bunch of ideas we have gotten so far involve the themes "mountain"/"summit", "unlike the 'rest of the Internet'", "retreat", "iceberg", "cool"... there miiiight be something behind those, but we also welcome out-of-the-box suggestions. :)
Woah, those are nearly 200 (good/humorous/useful) suggestions! Nearly all of them do provide insights on what each of you thinks is the most important thing about Codeberg in a sentence, which is very useful for us to know as well! 😄
(No matter if we came up with a tagline, adjusted one of yours or chose "the best one" as-is, we'd have to discuss amongst ourselves anyway. There won't be any changes on there for a while, but maybe elsewhere!)
Thanks for playing along, "Cody McCodeface" out! ~n
@Codeberg you could rotate from a pool, like NPM does :)
