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

I'm sure a deal can be made. Especially when you're the Dutch government.

Also, not contributing anything (it doesn't have to be money) will certainly not help the development of forgejo or federation.

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.

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.

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

I was only half-teasing though.

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.

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.
