And where did they put it? On the biggest US platform. Someday we'll get there, someday.

Git repos are distributed by design. I bet all the contributors have at least 1 branch (probably closer to an average of 3) of this project on at least 1 computer that they own.

Nice. Better energy grid seems like an easy win for Europe. It has enough diversity of sources that just connecting it cleverly can get you crazy efficiency.

e.g. Right now the UK grid is running on just over 80%+ renewable. But when the wind isn't cooperating french nuclear helps.

Broad reliance on renewables just doesn't work without interconnects across large geo regions

I moved stuff out of github to a private codeberg while walking my dog. The moat on that is non existant.

The reason people cite when defending Github usually isn't the repisitory hosting itself, but the extra features like oull request management and issue tracker that also generate massive network effects by enabling the same accounts to participate in all public projects. Github is nore of a social network posing as a development tool.

Educate me, what’s the point of (open-sourcing) this?

The EU is demanding that the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) implement this ten-year power infrastructure plan transparently. Unfortunately, this modelling has so far been carried out using an expensive, proprietary tool (PLEXOS Energy Exemplar). The results were not easily reproducible. However, with the new model based on PyPSA-Eur, a transparent Ten-Year Network Developm…

Thanks for actually answering the question. I was curious, too.

does it matter if we have most of our stuff on gh private repos?

Codeberg is not keen on closed-source repos.

Also, I moved about 10 repos to a private Forgejo installation with pretty average (non-trivial) GH actions workflows. Zero repos has workflows running oob (java, .net, node). The moat is a bit there.
