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.
@tomootes from developer.overheid wrote a nice piece about it: https://developer.overheid.nl/blog/2026/04/24/we-gaan-samen-code-overheid-bouwen

@Gina I’m always cheering for government and the public sector adopting OSS projects like @forgejo!
Do @BZKopensource and other participating organizations contribute (financially and in persondays) to the sustainability of the project?
I mean either hiring the volunteers who work on it, directly contributing to the project, or supporting Forgejo financially

Great. Have they decided how they will be sponsoring @Codeberg yet?@janneke@todon.nl, I’d rather it doesn’t grow into another GitHub, money should be put on forge federation instead IMHO.

@janneke@todon.nl, @forgejo@floss.social being under the umbrella of @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de does not mean all money going into Codeberg is for funding Forgejo. If one uses the service it makes sense to support it, but in the case of NL, it should not be contributing to the centralization of hosting services.

@thibaultamartin @forgejo @BZKopensource We intend to be active contributors. We've already found a fix to something that we'll be upstreaming. I'd like to also check for financial possibilities, but that will come after the pilot this year.
