The French-German Digital Sovereignty Summit yesterday was really inspiring. The topic of Open Source, European Sovereignty and Ethical AI is now discussed on the highes political level. I’m also happy that I was able to discuss Open Source and Digital Sovereignty with Chancellor Merz, President Macron and Minister Wildberger during a roundtable yesterday evening. #digitalsovereignty #EuroStack #AI #EUSummit #digitalministerium #OpenSource #Nextcloud image
Nextcloud will invest 250 million euros until 2030 in sovereign Open Source solutions and we expand our channel partner program. Interesting times ahead.
Let me repeat that. The Austrian federal ministry of economics migrated to Nextcloud Hub. All 1200 employees. The complete Hub with Files, Talk, Groupware, Office and Flow. No test but fully in production since 6 months. People like it. No complains. Other ministries are impressed and want to do the same. People who say that Open Source doesn’t work are wrong.
This is unbelievable. So Europe is not even allowed to discuss how to be more independent from Big Tech? #Nextcloud image
Surprise Surprise. The Delos / Microsoft Cloud can’t protect your data.
Unglaublich. Die EU knickt vor Trump ein statt die eigene Gesetze durchzusetzen die zum Schutz der Europäischen Bürger und Unternehmen eingeführt wurden.
Today I'm in Brussels again for a meeting with the European Commission. I hope they understand the importance of more European Open Source solutions for our Digital Sovereignty.

Today is a special day for me. For 3 years I worked with the German government and other organizations on Green IT topics and the Blauer Engel. I am happy that today Nextcloud got as first cloud software the Blauer Engel certificate from the German government. Yay!!
Happy birthday, Nextcloud! Today 9 years ago 12 people founded Nextcloud to create a complete Free and Open Source alternative to centralized proprietary cloud services and open core competitors. Together we achieved a lot more than what I dreamed of. We are the leading European Open Source collaboration solution thanks to our awesome community. Thanks to everyone!
