Educate me, what’s the point of (open-sourcing) this?
I think a good example is the Norwegian Meteorological Institute: https://github.com/metno (EEA, though, not real EU, but still)
It's not like all of it is useful for someone else, but it's the principle of it, and allowing people to see what their tax money (sometimes) goes to.

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.

If I'm working in software development, the last thing I want to do is trust my coding workflow to an alpha-state platform.

Don't forget the little `alpha` tag next to tangled ! If I'm working in software development, the last thing I want to do is trust my coding workflow to an alpha-state platform.

I moved stuff out of github to a private codeberg while walking my dog. The moat on that is non existant.
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.
A feature, not a bug. If I go to a website meant to distribute source repos (git, etc), I expect them to be FOSS. Also, the title mentions 'EU Open Sources [...]' so this is irrelevant to the topic at hand.
Either way, perfect is the enemy of good, and this is good. You can find hypocrisy or lack of perfectionism anywhere.

Surely can't be worse than GitHub going down every 15 minutes no?
Im personally down to try alpha software usually, i just havent found the need to retrain all my muscle memory to not use GH yet, as much as I hate it's owned by microsoft nowadays.
They also do offer pretty good "free tier" services for CI via Actions that otherwise you'd need to pay yourself
What a great present for Russians planning their drone attacks on Europe. Why not open source military bases and personal development too? It's all theoretically could be found in public sources anyway, so why not help Ivan save some time and put it all together. As a EU citizen, I should be able to freely receive access to public infrastructure data by request, but it should not be put online for everyone to see.
Yay, sustainability!
Cringe. China and Russia are building energy infrastructure and here we have Europe open sourcing tools to help cope with its self-inflicted bureaucratic burdens instead. Yay, sustainability!
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
