@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 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.

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

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 @forgejo @BZKopensource @tomootes @bo @johan @marlenabcn @opensource @developer
It seems to be hosted at Odidio. That's weird.

@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! 🤩

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

@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.

@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.
