The code.overheid.nl (Dutch) platform is now live. It is the government-wide code platform for publishing and developing open-source software. The platform is fully self-hosted and supports digital sovereignty.
For now, this is a pilot using Forgejo, an open-source, European, and sovereign alternative to GitHub and GitLab. Not all government organisations can use the platform yet. Developers are invited to contribute, with the aim of eventually growing it into a shared Git platform for government bodies.
Get involved
The code platform is initiated by the Open Source Program Office at the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations (BZK), in collaboration with DAWO (SSC-ICT), Opensourcewerken (Dutch), and developer.overheid.nl. Interested in joining? Please email codeplatform@rijksoverheid.nl.
Further information is available in Dutch, in the blog ‘We gaan samen code.overheid.nl bouwen’ (‘We’re building code.overheid.nl together’) on developer.overheid.nl.
