We had our very first Codeplatform Community meetup today! 🥳

Users of https://code.overheid.nl came together today to discuss progress. We welcomed new participants, learned about Kadaster's Forgejo setup, and discussed what we'll be doing next.

Code.overheid.nl is a Dutch government-wide pilot to explore @forgejo instead of Github. For more info see: https://developer.overheid.nl/blog/2026/04/24/we-gaan-samen-code-overheid-bouwen

Generally speaking, does it make sense to have an #OSPO as an #opensource company (defined as a company developing FOSS software)? It seems odd to try and centralize something that should be permeating the entire company... But maybe for big companies? Does anyone have other use cases?

🚀 NEW on We ❤️ Open Source 🚀

Bryan Behrenshausen offers a clear look at OSPO work, from inbound and outbound efforts to upstream contributions.

The piece also explores why software supply chain visibility is important, but can increase pressure on maintainers without added support.
