Join the Contributor Week
After the 2-day Nextcloud Community Conference, we continue with our famous Contributor Week at the same location, MotionLab.Berlin! From September 16-20 we collaborate on Nextcloud improvements in design, functionality, stability, performance and features. It is a unique opportunity for developers to dive deep into the codebase, exchange ideas, and work closely with other Nextclouders.
The atmosphere is vibrant and collaborative, fostering an environment of learning, growth, and innovation. By the end of the week, participants not only have gained invaluable experience but also made significant contributions to the Nextcloud project, helping to shape its future.
Contributor Week at the Nextcloud Community Conference is a celebration of open-source collaboration, fostering a strong sense of community and collective effort.
We share code, thoughts, inspiration, beer and knowledge, working in areas like:
- Coding (PHP, JS, C++, Objective-C, Java)
- Design & Front-end
- Testing
- Translation & Documentation
- And more!

Accessibility & Inclusion
We are committed to #NextcloudConf being an accessible event to everyone who wants to participate. The entire conference will be held in English, however there’s a good chance you will meet other people attending who speak your native language as we attract many international visitors.
The venue is completely barrier-free, wheelchair accessible and accessible for persons with disabilities. A quiet space will also be available where people can have a quiet moment if needed.
As every year, we will be taking photos and videos throughout the event purely for our marketing purposes i.e. photos for our website and a compilation video of the event. If you don’t want your photo taken or don’t want to be in a video, please let us know during your registration time.
At the Nextcloud Conference, we want everyone to feel part of the community and rest assured they are safe and feel heard. It’s a great time for unity and togetherness as we have fun, share ideas, learn and grow. If at any time you get stuck, have any questions, or just need a mentor, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team via email, Twitter, or through other attendees.
Travel support
We are excited to offer travel support for the Nextcloud Community Conference, the Contributor Week, and other events where volunteer assistance is needed. Our travel support program covers 80% of your travel and hotel expenses in exchange for your volunteer help at the event.
Important: Due to limited resources, travel support is only available to a select number of community members. Please consider your need carefully before applying, as requesting support may limit assistance available to others who might need it more. Only apply if you truly need financial assistance to attend.
If you require travel support, please fill out the form linked below.
Nextcloud Include
Supporting diversity in open source!
Diversity strengthens a community. The Nextcloud Include initiative helps underrepresented groups to join the Nextcloud project, building an inclusive and diverse space where we collaborate and develop world-class software.
We want to support participants from underrepresented groups in Open Source to join Nextcloud Community Conference by sponsoring part or the whole of their transportation and accommodation costs.
Please note that we can only offer travel support to a limited amount of our community members, so keep in mind that if we help cover your costs, the costs of another community member who may need it more than you can’t be covered – only request travel support if you need it! If you want travel support, please fill out the form.
Let’s meet and build privacy, together!
The Nextcloud Community Conference is an annual event that brings together Nextcloud enthusiasts, contributors, developers, users, and industry experts from around the world. We look forward to the conference and we hope to see as many of you as possible! Read our code of conduct that presents a summary of the shared values and “common sense” thinking in our community.
