Read this blog by @sourav666 on @itsfoss about the use of #Forgejo by the Dutch central #government:

https://itsfoss.com/news/netherlands-forgejo-migration/

"The platform is a self-hosted Forgejo instance, running on Dutch government infrastructure... It's free for all government organizations..."

"... this initiative is still in the pilot phase, with the rollout being kept deliberately gradual."

Go Away Microsoft! The Netherlands is Quietly Building Its Own GitHub Replacement

The self-hosted, FOSS-only platform is still in the pilot phase, but government agencies are already signing up.

It's FOSS

Look at this:

The beginning of a #GitForge by the Dutch government (overheid) based on #Forgejo.

Very good that the Dutch #government takes the first steps to become independent regarding their Git repositories.

Read why this important in a blog with a recommendation for a Git forge that I wrote a while ago (in Dutch):

Forgejo: Beyond coding. We forge.

Forgejo is a self-hosted lightweight software forge. Easy to install and low maintenance, it just does the job.

Forgejo: Beyond coding. We forge.

My blog #BurgeonLab relies on #SourceHut Git and Builds. They’ve been down and at first I couldn’t deploy my site to my static host, #Bunnynet.

This triggered me to create a local script that runs all the fetch/build steps as an alternative pathway to upload...

@rtyler I deployed my own instance of #OneDev and I haven't really used GitHub since. @forgejo is also a good option. Don't want to host your own? Then use code.onedev.io or codeberg.org public instances! #openSource #Git #GitForge #Collaboration

Forgejo: Die leichte Git-Forge für Sysadmins und DevOps

Warum du Forgejo kennen solltest Forgejo ist eine selbst gehostete, leichte Software-Forge, die auf Git basiert und dir als Sysadmin oder DevOps-Engineer eine vollständige Plattform für Code-Hosting, Issue-Tracking und CI/CD bietet. Du solltest sie kennen, weil sie ressourcenschonend läuft, 100% Free Software ist und Projekte wie Fedora sie für moderne, community-getriebene Workflows einsetzen. In der Sysadministration hilft sie dir, zentrale Repositories zu managen, ohne auf […]

I wrote once a blog about #GitLab, #GitHub, and #Forgejo (#codeberg). What to choose?

It is in Dutch, but I'm pretty sure your browser can translate it for you:

https://developer.overheid.nl/blog/2025/11/11/git-forge-overheid

It is a recommendation for a #GitForge for the Dutch #government.

Part of the conclusion:
In summary, from the point of view of digital sovereignty and digital autonomy is a self-hosted Forgejo the best choice for the government.

Aanbeveling voor de Git-werkplaats van de overheid | developer.overheid.nl

De Nederlandse overheid publiceert een deel van haar broncode als vrije opensource software. Om software te beheren is een versiebeheersysteem nodig. Hiermee kun je veranderingen in de broncode traceren en beheren. Een versiebeheersysteem faciliteert ook het samenwerken tussen verschillende software-ontwikkelaars. Een gedistribueerd versiebeheersysteem maakt het mogelijk dat ontwikkelaars op verschillende locaties toch kunnen samenwerken aan één softwareproduct. Het _de facto_ versiebeheersysteem voor software is Git.

Who has still a #FOSS project hosted on #GitHub? Why?

Don't you prefer a development platform that is aligned with the values of free software?

Did you consider migrating to e.g. @Codeberg? Is there something holding you back?

Have you heard any recent updates on the federation? Last time I checked (a few months back) it seemed to be in the "nice to have" category but not particularly actively being worked on.
