> I was wondering this morning whether they were going to migrate away from GH.

In the context of other commentary today with various people migrating off of github...

is there an event prompting this, or were you thinking of it more in the general vein of European governments trying to reduce dependency on American services?

You're on the money. They already were discussing moving away from america-dependent infra. We already had a Microsoft-involved power-move a few years ago that resulted in dutch government emails being blacklisted. I was just wondering why they would stay on GH.

I expected them to use GitLab because its older and dutch, but I'm glad they opted for forgejo.

Correction: Gitlab is not Dutch. It has a Dutch co-founder, and was a B.V. for about one year before moving to the US and become an Inc. The original founder is from Ukraine.
