In six weeks, the Nextcloud Conference 2018 kicks off in Berlin. During a full week, Nextcloud contributors get together to code, write Nextcloud apps, improve design, plan new features and hang out together. And on the weekend of August 25 and 26, a program with keynotes, talks and workshops welcomes a large audience of users and contributors as well as people from other open source and privacy activist organisations. We’d like to invite all contributors, be it coders, designers, artists, translators and so on – and for those who need it, there is budget for travel!
Read on to learn more about the conference program.

Nextcloud is a work of love – we’re here to change the nature of the game and put people back in control! With at least 300.000 Nextcloud servers out there on the web and certainly many more coming, we’ve been amazingly successful. Yet there is a lot of work to do!
And that is, in no small part, what the Nextcloud Conference is for. On the 23rd of August, we get together on the 5th floor of the Mathematics building of the TU Berlin, and spread out over half a dozen rooms, we code. We eat and order pizza (and other food). We design. Share cheese. And discuss. Throw frisbee. Sing songs. Well, maybe not that, unless it is somebody’s birthday… It is about having a good time while doing real, tangible things!
Frank & Jan recently went over the Nextcloud user interface and created a github issue covering a lot of ‘papercuts’, little improvements that will seriously improve the Nextcloud experience. Perhaps you want to help make one of those possible? Maybe there is something else you want to do? Write a Nextcloud app?
At the hackweek, we help you get going!
Key facts:
The team that started all this in 2010
On Saturday and Sunday, August 25 and 26, we welcome a much broader group of visitors: everyone! If you’re interested in Nextcloud tech, or privacy in general, you’ll be interested in keynotes, lightning talks and technical workshops on a variety of privacy and Nextcloud related subjects.
Talks typically cover progress and plans on Nextcloud apps and ideas for new features, but also all kinds of privacy related projects, ideas and plans. You can get a bit of an idea from the talks from last year, which you can find in our Youtube channel. Here is a link to the program from last year.
On Monday, we organize an Enterprise Day. Don’t worry, it won’t disrupt the hackweek concentration, as it takes place at Berlin Alexanderplatz, at the Park Inn hotel. If you are interested in attending, you can learn more on this page. Entry tickets are Eur 300, but until Monday July 16 they are 50% off!!!
We want to help everybody attend and participate in the Nextcloud conference! We will provide up to 80% support of travel & accomodation costs during the event to people who have contributed to Nextcloud in one way or another. For instance, those who have solved some good first issues, worked on the design, organized a local Nextcloud meetup, or contributed in other ways.
Our goal is that nobody decides not to participate because they can’t afford it! If you need some help, please, contact us, we want to help you be there!
You have until August 19th, 2018 to ask us for travel support, however, there are of course limited funds (first come, first serve!) and travel prices go up so we suggest to ask sooner rather than later. Just email us on events@nextcloud.com with details about yourself, your contributions and your estimated costs below.
On December 3rd, we invite you to the Nextcloud Enterprise Day Paris, Nextcloud's flagship event for professionals. The day will kick off with a keynote by our CEO and founder, Frank Karlitschek—a highlight where he will share our vision for the future of online collaboration, followed by a major announcement about Nextcloud Talk!
