Today we launched https://code.overheid.nl: the NL government-wide code platform 🥳🥳
Code.overheid.nl is a pilot in which we are going to test @forgejo; an open source and sovereign alternative to GitHub/GitLab.
This is an initiative of @BZKopensource, in collaboration with our friends from team DAWO (SSC-ICT), @opensource , @developer , and a number of participating government orgs.

Proton die werk gaat maken van z'n native linux cliënt en forgejo voor de overheid.

@developer
Dank je. Ik heb 't gelezen. Alhoewel de niet-vrije licentie van GitLab EE zeker een punt van aandacht is blijft het m.i. wat onderbelicht dat EE ook veel geavanceerde functionaliteit biedt die niet noodzakelijk ook in Forgejo zit. Of je dat als platform nodig denkt te hebben of liever zelf bouwt is een tweede.

@xconde we did, but we didn't like that a. It was a non-European solution and b. That the licensing would become very expensive at a certain point.

@Gina @forgejo @BZKopensource @tomootes @bo @johan @marlenabcn @opensource @developer marvellous! Well done everyone
I'm hoping this will get a lot of traction and I'm certainly willing to do my part within DICTU and DUO

@Gina @forgejo @BZKopensource @tomootes @bo @johan @marlenabcn @opensource @developer Awesome! I wish #Canadians could similarly get their acts together. There is a limp-biscuited, vague policy on sovereignty here, but nothing to speak of really seems to come from it:

@reinouts Forgejo development is not held captive by a US company. Good luck merging a feature that competes with an enterprise offering to Gitlab CE.

@slotos While they're officially headquartered in the US, they have always been a fully remote company with Ukrainian and Dutch founders, IIRC.
I do see that merging enterprise features into CE might not be accepted by GitLab inc., but then again, the EE sales are what keeps development going. It's a double-edged sword. -

It's a double-edged sword.@reinouts The country of incorporation is what’s important. It dictates how corporation has to act towards its shareholders.
Nationality of the founders is irrelevant here.
Also, I didn’t say „merging enterprise features”, I said „feature that competes with an enterprise offering”. It is a contribution gatekeeping system driven by US legal precedent.

@Gina, congrats on this great milestone!
It's awesome that government agencies are thinking about these important initiatives, wish we had a team like yours in our Ministry of digital transformation (Ukraine)... Fingers crossed for your success! 🤩
