On the 14th and 15th September, four Collaborans travelled to Berlin to take part in the Nextcloud Community conference, before staying in Berlin for some of the following contributor week activities and meetings. As part of the conference, Nextcloud announced Hub 9 – the latest release of their ever-developing decentralised digital platform. For this latest launch, Collabora Online CEO Michael Meeks was invited to share the latest updates to Collabora Online as the foundation to the highly-performing Nextcloud Office document editing app.
In addition to the Hub 9 launch event, it was an excellent opportunity to meet with hundreds of community members, who play such a vital role in open-source projects such as Collabora Online and Nextcloud Hub, and listen to keynote talks from Björn Lundell from the University of Skövde, and Constanze Kurz, an expert on surveillance techniques and IT security.
