If it were "the EU", it would be on https://code.europa.eu

People who are interested can look at it and use it. People who aren't interested are free to ignore it. What's the downside of open-sourcing this? We should commend bureaucracies on the rare instance that they open-source their software, not ridicule them for it.
It’s an honest question, perhaps not worded friendly enough. Forgive my English. Let’s zoom in on your reply, the people who are interested and look at it and use it. What will they be able to do with it?
1. Run the analyses themselves to help them understand it
2. Provide feedback and even improvements
3. Simply trust that the project is run in good faith because there's transparency

#14Educate me, what’s the point of (open-sourcing) this?
There's a very expensive process for resource planning the electrical grid that is highly modeling dependent. Most electricity grids are planned with a least cost expansion modeling approach. A small number of incumbent vendors provide expensive closed source tools to do this. There are quite a few open tools in this space, but open energy transition is building consensus around pypsa and pypsa-eur as equivalent top of class models (better in a lot of ways) to use for various IRPs.

Thanks, definitely positive they’re moving towards open and freely accessible modeling tools. I can see the benefits for students and budget-constrained institutions.

This is the type of pointless complaint that really go nowhere

He just told you; US platform.
It can be hosted in multiple locations.
I guess if the github UI becomes critical to their continued development or PR then they expose themselves to a potential rug pull by github/microsoft.
I do not know much about the project so I can not tell if that is concern or if there is some other concern at play here or if those concerns apply to this project or not.
Those are the types of details I wanted to see in the comment.

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