The Norwegian welfare agency publish most of their code on github: https://github.com/navikt/ https://github.com/navikt/ It's the organization you use if you're sick, lost your job, where you get your social security etc. Basically a huge behemoth of all kinds of social or labor services. While most of the code probably has little value for others (2000 different repos), I think it's quite noble that it's public, given it's made with tax payer money and serves our people. And when working there I found it quite cool to work in the open, a sense of pride in publishing everything we were doing. Also a bit funny, just checked the project I started 5 years ago: "last updated 42 minutes ago".

Quite similar to Estonia. Tho they run their own Gitlab instance https://koodivaramu.eesti.ee/explore https://koodivaramu.eesti.ee/explore And not everything is there. ID Card software is hosted on Github https://github.com/open-eid https://github.com/open-eid

  I think all countries should use their own instances of gitlab or others. It feels wrong that they all depend on GitHub to publish such important information.

Just curious, since it's been a dream of mine to have public services powered by open software: How often do bugs in the services get reported either, with direct references to the underlying software (function names, line numbers, etc.), or as changesets/PRs with proposal fixes? Especially for simpler things like style/accessibility issues, I could see this being somewhat common honestly.

    Looks like a great concept. Let me know if you ever want to open a Boston location ;)
