For this simple and unique reason, they +represent a significant issue for free software. The creation of the +interministerial working group "Forgeons !" ("Let's Forge!") in November 2024, reflects this reality through the diversity of its protagonists: Education, Culture, Research, Information and Environmental Sciences, Citizenship. + +With Microsoft's acquisition of Github in 2018, and more recently with [the +increased pressure from digital giants](https://archive.is/Hcwvk) on the +European ecosystem, the need for a free and independent development platform is +even more pronounced. It thus becomes crucial to counterbalance the hegemony of +the [Big Tech](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Tech) by strengthening the +role of free and alternative forges such as +[Gitlab](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GitLab) and +[SourceHut](https://sourcehut.org/). It is in this context that the work group pays particular attention to the [Forgejo](https://forgejo.org) project as a fully free platform, supported by a dynamic community, and moreover, [anchored in Europe](https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/what-is-codeberg/#what-is-codeberg-e.v.%3F). + +A first open workday for all audiences will be held on March 13, 2025, at the +[Public Transformation +Place](https://www.modernisation.gouv.fr/accompagner-les-administrations/laboratoires-interministeriels-dinnovation/lieu-de-la) +and will be an opportunity to discuss the current issues. It will notably be a +question of establishing a first assessment of the great diversity of forge +derivations, or "professional forges," with two main themes: "Educational, +Creative, and Social Forges" on the one hand, and "Forges and Digital Twins" on +the other.
