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), 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 @forgejo @BZKopensource @tomootes congrats!

[gina@fosstodon.org]

And yes the styling, esp in dark theme, will soon be improved.

[raito@nixos.paris]

@Gina i18n would probably be neat to share it to other countries, congratulations nonetheless!

@Gina @forgejo @BZKopensource @tomootes awesome! 🤩

[stefan@stefanbohacek.online]

@Gina Very cool, congratulations on the launch!

@wsslmn @Gina @wlaatje @forgejo @BZKopensource @tomootes @bo @marlenabcn cool, we'll be having monthly community meets where you can present stuff!

@Gina make a plan for what to do when AI crawlers hit and put it in the desk for emergency (though I hope it will sit there until infinity and never be used)…

…that's the reason I moved my Forgejo instance into my VPN… >10k req from unique IPs in half an hour basically brought it down… …all to relatively "expensive" paths… …Anubis caught none…

@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.

Tjeempie!

Proton die werk gaat maken van z'n native linux cliënt en forgejo voor de overheid.

Wat een dag

[castrillo@mastodon.online]

@Gina @forgejo @BZKopensource @tomootes @bo @johan @marlenabcn @opensource @developer pretty good! congra hope the best for the testing and migration guys

[reinouts@mastodon.green]

@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.
