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).

@Codeberg Maybe just a simple "You are welcome"
- Personal and direct
- Welcoming/inviting
- Non-technical, approachable
- Subtly acknowledges gratitude toward the volunteers driving the project
- Implies that users will appreciate and thank the team for the great product -
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.
@Codeberg does it have to in English? It is the defacto standard of the west but I would love something in german, french, esperanto or whatever but english

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!
persistence is fertile
software development is just the tip

My gut feeling is that I never read the "catch slogan" and it does not mean anything to me. What I do read immediately is the line below. So my simple, non-creative but straight forward solution would be
In large: Codeberg
as is now: ... is a non-profit, community-led effortIf anything else really needed, say what it does not which higher morale you want to follow, something boring but informative
Community led Git Hosting
Keep it simple.

@Codeberg Do not outsource your marketing slogan to the internet. Hire a professional. Please, for goodness sake.

@jeffmcneill @Codeberg idk, I’ve been a part of several failed rebrandings using professional marketing firms. Why not take a community pulse? I’m genuinely curious

@soulcutter @Codeberg Way more failed brandings using "community pulse". It is like asking random people to do a "logo". Same nonsense approach with a nearly linear nonsense result. Also, "rebrandings" are usually failures. The key is to focus back on the core brand, with minimal change.
