- Initial Dutch government OSPO call notes for Forgejo collaboration.
- Participants included contributors from Forgejo and representatives from the Dutch Ministry of the Interior.
- Goals discussed: Dutch government's interest in open-source, setting up a code platform, and how they can help Forgejo.
- Forgejo's features like CI (Forgejo Actions) and federation were highlighted, with ongoing development and challenges.
- Discussion on Forgejo's relationship with Gitea: now a hard fork with no current cooperation except for security releases.
- Concerns about scaling, support contracts, and the symbiotic relationship between open-source projects and large organizations/governments.
- Funding sources for Forgejo include donations, memberships, and NLnet grants, with an emphasis on contributions beyond financial support.
- Interest in federation development to avoid single points of failure in code hosting platforms.
- Next steps involve bureaucratic processes within the Dutch government to formalize collaboration and contribution back to Forgejo.
