Join the Contributor Week

With the Nextcloud Community Conference, we are bringing together contributors, fans, and first-time attendees for two days of talks, workshops, and sharing experiences on 19 and 20 September in Berlin, Germany.

But the event doesn’t stop there! We will continue our ventures during the Nextcloud Contributor Week from 21 to 25 September with our famous “development sprints”. This is your opportunity to collaborate in person with others Nextcloud members during focused working sessions. From coding to translating or writing documentation, all skill levels come together in this community-driven week to build, improve, and 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.

Nextcloud Include

Travel support & Diversity at #NextcloudConf25

Diversity strengthens a community, and the Nextcloud Include initiative is our way of helping underrepresented groups get involved in the Nextcloud project. We’re committed to creating an inclusive space where everyone can collaborate and contribute to building world-class open source software.

To support this goal, we offer travel support for the Nextcloud Community Conference, Contributor Week, and other events where volunteer help is needed. Our program covers 80% of travel and hotel expenses in exchange for your support during the event.

Please note: due to limited resources, travel support is only available to a select number of community members. Before applying, consider whether you truly need assistance, as support granted to you may limit help available to someone in greater need.

If you require travel support, please fill out the form linked below.

💙 A quick note about registration

Our values — inclusivity, respect, openness, and sustainability — are at the heart of everything we do.
To stay true to these and help us plan better, this year’s Nextcloud Community Conference includes a small 10€ registration fee.
It helps us reduce waste, prepare responsibly, and ensure a great experience for everyone who truly plans to join. As a thank-you, you’ll receive an exclusive Nextcloud tote bag and a T-shirt at check-in.
We want the event to stay open and accessible, so if the fee is a barrier, you can always request a waiver — no questions asked.

Thanks for being part of this amazing community. We can’t wait to see you there!
