Two keynotes you won’t want to miss
Our 30-minute keynote talks on Saturday and Sunday are highly anticipated, as they cover burning topics in technology and open source: the rise of AI and its implications, and the important of open source to achieve digital sovereignty.
On Saturday at 12:15PM, Daphne Muller, Manager Alliances, Ecosystem & Support at Nextcloud will take the stage for her keynote: “From policy to practice: implementing the EU AI Act for open source software”
Artificial Intelligence is evolving rapidly, and with the EU AI Act coming into play, understanding how to use AI responsibly is more important than ever.
Join Daphne Muller as she dives into:
The latest updates on the EU AI Act
How to put regulations into practice
Ensuring compliance in open source software
Her session will include an open Q&A, giving you the chance to ask your questions directly.
On Sunday at 10AM, we are joined by Michael “Monty” Widenius, Creator of MySQL and co-founder of MariaDB, who will speak about “Building Trust with MariaDB: Open Source as a Path to Digital Sovereignty”.
If you’re part of the open source world, you’ve almost certainly heard of MySQL, the world’s #1 open source database. Michael “Monty” Widenius, the original creator of MySQL, will take the stage to share insights from his decades of experience shaping one of the most influential technologies in software development.

How and why to code open source at the Nextcloud Community Conference
Getting involved in open source can be life-changing for your career, your skills, and the community you join.
It’s fun and a great learning opportunity! You’ll collaborate with talented people, work on real-world projects, and see your code make an impact.
It looks fantastic on your resume. Open source experience stands out to employers and demonstrates initiative, collaboration, and technical skills.
Open source companies are incredible places to work. They’re dynamic, creative, and built on values of transparency and freedom.
But let’s be honest: getting started can feel overwhelming.
That’s why face-to-face events like the Nextcloud Community Conference are the perfect place to begin. You’ll meet experienced contributors ready to guide you, learn hands-on, and connect with others who are just starting out too.
Every year, Nextcloud welcomes hundreds of new contributors, and we’d love to help you become one of them. All you need is curiosity and a bit of coding experience — the programming language doesn’t matter!
Here are a few sessions designed to help you take your first steps into open source:
Panel: How to contribute to Nextcloud — Hear directly from active contributors about how they got started and their best tips for newcomers.
Nextcloud Forums: Join and contribute — Discover how answering questions and guiding others in the forums can grow your skills and benefit the community.
Develop your first ExApp for Nextcloud — A hands-on session where you’ll set up a local development environment and build your very first ExApp using Python.
Open roadmap: Live community feedback — Shape the future of Nextcloud by participating in roadmap discussions.

Anfang 2025 begannen US-Hyperscaler, in einer großen PR-Kampagne neue „souveräne Cloud“-Angebote in Europa zu bewerben. In den letzten Wochen ist ihr Narrativ jedoch in sich zusammengebrochen. Es sind nicht die Kritiker, die die Widersprüche aufdecken – die Technologieunternehmen selbst haben zugegeben, dass ihre „souveränen” Versprechen heiße Luft sind.
Nextcloud ist die erste Cloud-Plattform, die mit dem Umweltzeichen „Blauer Engel“ ausgezeichnet wurde und damit beweist, dass eine digital souveräne und grüne IT möglich ist.
Unternehmen, ob klein oder groß, brauchen eine Möglichkeit, die Ausfallsicherheit und digitale Souveränität ihrer Abläufe zu gewährleisten - eine Open-Source-Alternative zu Teams, die die Privatsphäre respektiert. Und heute stellen wir diese Lösung vor - Nextcloud Talk.
Bechtle und Nextcloud kündigen heute eine vollständig verwaltete Kollaborationsplattform für den öffentlichen Sektor an, die keiner Ausschreibung bedarf und sofort bereitgestellt werden kann.
Our mission is to help individuals, businesses and organizations achieve digital sovereignty and regain control over their data. Nextcloud Hub 5 marks a massive step forward towards achieving this mission, putting the power of AI into your hands – in a way that keeps you in control. New release, new possibilities Hub 5 builds on […]
