+<h1>FSFE provides Git hosting for its supporters</h1>
+
+<p newsteaser="yes">Sharing one's knowledge is a core principle in the Free Software 
+society, collaboration is another. From today, FSFE provides its <a 
+href="/join?ref-git">supporters</a> and registered volunteers a 
+platform to create and manage Git repositories with a comfortable user 
+interface: <a href="https://git.fsfe.org">git.fsfe.org</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Git is not only a tool to store files but the most popular version 
+control system, similar to SVN. While Git is a command line server and 
+client, there are several graphical implementation. FSFE is using <a 
+href="https://gitea.io">Gitea</a> as a web interface.</p>
+
+<p>With <a href="https://git.fsfe.org">git.fsfe.org</a>, FSFE allows 
+its supporters to share and collaborate on a platform while fully 
+respecting their freedoms. Using the graphical web interface, people 
+can open issues reports for bugs or feature requests. This way, users 
+can for example:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>host code they are using for their FSFE activities (and of course 
+  other purposes)</li>
+  <li>share minutes and other documents of FSFE group meetings</li>
+  <li>collaborate on flyers, presentations or business cards</li>
+  <li>leave feedback on and help improving existing software by other 
+  users of git.fsfe.org</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>FSFE also strives to migrate as much code and relevant files as 
+possible to this new platform, for example future website developments, 
+promotion material, and helpful scripts for the organisation's 
+day-to-day work.</p>
+
+<h2>About Gitea</h2>
+
+<p>Gitea is a performant and user-friendly Git service that is 
+published under a Free Software license. Unlike other services there is 
+no proprietary enterprise version ("open-core"), but has a strong focus 
+on community development, and already contains almost all features 
+people know from other Git services without any non-free dependencies. 
+There are already efforts taking place to interconnect several Gitea 
+installations, enabling Git federation.</p>
+
+<p>We would like to welcome you to log in with your FSFE Fellowship 
+credentials, test and use the service, and <a href="/contact">leave 
+some feedback</a>. Also, please consider contributing to the Gitea 
+project.</p>
