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), @opensource , @developer , and a number of participating government orgs. 🤝
@tomootes from developer.overheid wrote a nice piece about it: https://developer.overheid.nl/blog/2026/04/24/we-gaan-samen-code-overheid-bouwen

Analysis Summary
The Dutch government soft-launched code.overheid.nl on April 24, 2026 — a government-wide code platform built on Forgejo, an open-source alternative to GitHub. The platform is hosted on Dutch government infrastructure (SSC-ICT/DAWO) and lets government organizations transparently develop and reuse code across agencies, reducing duplicate work. This is part of the Netherlands' broader push for digital sovereignty — similar to recent deals with cloud provider Stackit — and is free for all government organizations to join.
