ο½’ All of DAWO's code is hosted on a Forgejo instance, with a separate Codeberg instance acting as the entry point for contributors. And, to answer the question asked earlier, NixOS was chosen because it is a Dutch project, with no company owning or controlling its development ο½£

Way too much innovation and development has stalled/stopped with our current status quo.

So instead of "with a separate Codeberg instance acting ...", the intended meaning is "with some repositories on Codeberg, which is a separate Forgejo instance, acting ...".

The author @sourav666 's Fedi account is stated to be inactive, so probably won't reply.

Recently started working for a Dutch library org that I want to shift to NixOS too. This'll help the argumentation. I am in the R&D phase of making a config for public facing PC's we have at libraries.

In the installer on codeberg there is/was a 'ask Claude what to do next' text copied into the repository.

I dont really mind though, I'd just like to see this actually be used

The Dutch government ( ) hosts its own instance. But only people with an account at the Dutch government can get access there. To facilitate collaboration with others, the development is done at , the most well known Forgejo instance where everybody can get an account.

So at code.overheid.nl is a kind or mirror/backup fully controlled by Dutch government if I understand well:

Would love to see do something like this. We have the expertise, we just lack the political vision to wean the government off of American tech.

@sourav666 What's a @Codeberg instance? https://codeberg.org/DAWO looks like it's run by the Codeberg organisation; it's not Codeberg software (whatever that is) run on a server uncontrolled by Codeberg-the-organisation ... Maybe an edit is needed?

Netherlands building its own Nix-based desktop after Microsoft cut off ICC... that's real digital sovereignty.

And choosing NixOS because no company owns it 100% Dutch, 100% community. Respect.
