- Summary: The repository sits on the Dutch government's own Forgejo instance at code.overheid.nl under the interior ministry account MinBZK, and holds 128 commits, 19 branches and 5 tags across 2.7 MiB of Nix, with the first generic DAWO profile committed 2026-06-17 and the newest commit dated 2026-09-17. The module map covers boot, desktops, hardware, hardening with a rule register that selects controls, hosts, networking, services and users, the flake is described as multi-tenant from desktops to core services, and the CI publishes a software bill of materials per host and reports what is known wrong with it. The README states that DAWO Core has moved to Codeberg for community collaboration and that code.overheid.nl and the DAWO-community GitHub copy are backups, so the canonical location is no longer the government platform.
- Why it matters: The repository is the first verifiable artefact behind the Digitaal Autonome Werkomgeving Overheid initiative, and it is a public, dated reference for running a government desktop and server fleet on a single Nix flake.
- Follow-up: Track deployment scope and seat counts, and whether the government instance or Codeberg becomes the canonical location.
