Today we launched https://code.overheid.nl: the NL government-wide code platform π₯³π₯³
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), developer.overheid.nl, and a number of participating gov organizations.

@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
Congratulations!
As someone who's more familiar with GitLab, how does Forgejo compare to the (open source) GitLab CE?
Edit: found https://forgejo.org/compare/ which partly answers this.

@developer
Dank je. Ik heb 't gelezen. Alhoewel de niet-vrije licentie van GitLab EE zeker een punt van aandacht is blijft het m.i. wat onderbelicht dat EE ook veel geavanceerde functionaliteit biedt die niet noodzakelijk ook in Forgejo zit. Of je dat als platform nodig denkt te hebben of liever zelf bouwt is een tweede.

@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.
