Summary

Migrate the Mindshare Committee's issue tracking and documentation repositories from GitLab to the new Fedora Forgejo instance.

Background

As part of the broader Fedora Infrastructure migration, the project is moving away from GitLab to Forgejo. A Forgejo organization already exists for the Mindshare Committee. The Mindshare Committee needs to lead by example, migrate its workflows to the new platform, and provide updates on this progress back to the Council.

Details

Migrate the home repository from GitLab to the tickets repository on Forgejo.
Migrate the docs repository from GitLab to the docs repository on Forgejo.
Update event request issue templates for events to link out to past event reports, if available.
@gwmngilfen has volunteered to handle the migration via the web UI.
The agreed-upon target deadline for this migration is February 27, 2026.

Outcome

The Mindshare Committee successfully conducts its March 5, 2026 meeting directly from the new Forgejo platform.

Updates:

Home is blocked due to an error with the migration tool. This is tracked at forge/forge#374 (comment)
Docs is migrated
- core docs site.yml has been updated.
- Readme on GitLab has been updated to make the migration clear
- GitLab repo has been made read-only
- CI runner has been requested

Outstanding:

Home migration, as above
Docs CI workflow, once we have the runner. @jwwheeler can you confirm the CI in the old docs repo was just a sanity check that Antora can build the site? It doesn't appear to publish to a branch....

@gwmngilfen Thanks for looking into the docs CI for Mindshare Committee. The CI publishing workflow is not consistently adopted, but there are a few examples of GitLab docs repos that do this… somewhere. :slight_smile:

If this repo is not one of them, you likely need to chat with @darknao and @pbokoc. @LecrisUT might also have some leads on this. It would be a major win to figure out how to get a CI pipeline that can do the following:

Run Antora to build and generate the docs
Use Vale?
Publish the build artifacts as HTML content on a short-term host (e.g., 14 or 21 days)

This would make the process of collaborating and working on Fedora Docs significantly easier for vast parts of the Fedora community.

Discussed in 2026-04-02 Mindshare Committee meeting.

The Mindshare Committee conducted a final review of our migration tasks and verified that all GitLab repositories have been successfully archived and redirected to the new Fedora Forge. As this transition to Forgejo is now fully complete and the old GitLab workflow is deprecated, this ticket is resolved and shall be closed! 🌊🎬

We may need to work with some individual folks with past tickets opened, in case they are unaware about our migration from GitLab to Forgejo (e.g., Ticket #105). We can all do our part to make sure that we help bring the community along with us in this change in process!
