@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.

@Gina@fosstodon.org @opensource@social.overheid.nl @BZKopensource@social.overheid.nl @developer@social.overheid.nl now they just need to open source DigiD

@Gina@fosstodon.org @opensource@social.overheid.nl @BZKopensource@social.overheid.nl @developer@social.overheid.nl what is the success metric for this pilot?

[reinouts@mastodon.green]

@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.

[slotos@toot.community]

@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.

@wsslmn @Gina @wlaatje @forgejo @BZKopensource @tomootes @bo @marlenabcn but I am curious what it is...

@Gina @forgejo @BZKopensource @tomootes @bo @johan @marlenabcn @opensource @developer

It seems to be hosted at Odidio. That's weird.

@Gina @forgejo @BZKopensource @tomootes @bo @johan @marlenabcn @opensource @developer Nice work! Congratulations, and much success.

[sirkadirov@mastodon.social]

@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! 🤩

@Gina @forgejo @BZKopensource @tomootes @bo @johan @marlenabcn @opensource @developer Is Dutch digital sovereignty being protected by Anubis? https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@michaelmaguire @forgejo @BZKopensource @tomootes @bo @johan @marlenabcn @opensource @developer it should be! We'll look at implementing it.

[michaelmaguire@mstdn.ca]

@Gina @forgejo @BZKopensource @tomootes @bo @johan @marlenabcn @opensource @developer oh, cool! I was only half-teasing though. I had clicked through some of your announcement docs and when I tried the Forgejo "Try it now" link it used Anubis and said "Made with in " and I thought it was great that Dutch digital sovereignty would be protected by Canadians.

Great. Have they decided how they will be sponsoring @Codeberg yet?
