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”

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.

At the heart of Nextcloud is our incredible community. On Sunday, September 28, we’re turning the spotlight on our contributors who make Nextcloud what it is today.
Hear from Andrew Backhouse, Software Engineer at Nextcloud, and four active contributors as they share their journeys and practical tips for getting involved.
Join Greta Doçi for an inspiring session featuring three unique stories from community members, showcasing the diversity and passion that drive Nextcloud forward.
Getting involved in open source can be life-changing for your career, your skills, and the community you join.

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.
