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 "Free and open software without compromise"

@Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de Real suggestions:
- Purpose: “Infrastructure to develop software on” (in chime to the OST of My Friend Pedro, “Music To Banana To”, or lofi beats to relax/study to)
- Completeness: “Code collaboration, management, translation and preservation, tailored to how you need it!”
- Trust: “Your code can live with us for eons.”
- Constructivity: “A place to build projects on.”
Joke suggestions:
- needs tomfoolery: “autonomy, stimulation, security and connection with just one account! click here!”
- more music tomfoolery: “when you break your code, we breakdance it all the way through”
- time traveling: “your future self would approve of leaving your code here”
- best read with sunglasses on: “i’m in”

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 For slogan, how about "The home of freedom" ?

@Codeberg How about "Creative Development"? Writing, authoring, software development, all things text.

@Codeberg
There are bunch of cool ideas, but I'd rather distant myself from the word "free", because using Codeberg might be free, but maintaining it is not. So I prefer pushing towards building open culture spirit. Here are my suggestions:"A Step Towards Open Culture"
"The tip of the Open Culture"
-
@Codeberg I think the governance is what makes Codeberg special and this phrase is my attempt to leverage the well known "free as in ___" structure to introduce what I see as a more important and robust category of freedom than the GNU four freedoms or the shallow data ownership of ATProto forges.

My first instinct was to implement mountain/summit/peak signified, but after some thought I concluded that it would be simultaneously obvious and forced.
However, referencing the vastness and untamed nature of mountainous landscape would be more subtle:
"Untame your code"
"Your code, untamed"
"Code Without Limits"
"Open code, open horizons"
Or something like:
"Where code roams free"

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!

@Codeberg Shouldnt it be a more a catchy “value proposition”? Something that will tell the visitor what Codeberg is?
“Full-featured Git hosting, zero corporate strings attached.”
“Keep your code away from AI training pipelines — privacy-first hosting by a community-owned platform.”
“EU-based hosting with true data sovereignty — you can trust where your code lives.”
“Non-profit, community-driven governance — features and priorities shaped by developers, not investors.”
“No telemetry, no ads — just reliable, open-source code hosting you can depend on.”

@Codeberg Damn! I nearly proposed "Cody McCodeberg"
