 Okay, let's get started The first of all a big welcome to all of you to come in and to this special event here I think is really happy that so many people are here like people I know for many years But also really new faces. That's that's really nice. So really thanks a lot for coming We're happy to be at this special place here We are hosted today by Wikimedia, which is the organization behind Wikipedia Which is an organization as you know, which tries to push forward free knowledge free information Freedom of speech on the internet, which is super important and of course is also overlaps with our mission at next cloud And this is why I'm really happy to be here today at this special place And so thanks a lot for our hosts So there are many reasons why this is a special event here This is the first time we do it like that usually we give like presentation product announcements doing our conference or other Events, but it's the first time we do our own event here and there are several reasons for that One of the reason is it's actually a special day today. So it's actually 10 year anniversary of this journey here of this project. So actually Exactly today 10 years ago. I was also standing on a stage at a time. It looked like that So this was actually as I said exactly today 10 years ago. This was in San Diego in California It was a keynote at a KDE conference where I announced this project was still under a different name Of course as you might know, but it's still the same mission and still the same idea behind most of the same people and so on well at the time it was the benefit that the weather was a lot better than Berlin here, but Beside that similar stage and and similar mission, but 10 years later now, that's really nice, of course Of course the community they grew a little bit since then right? This is the photo from our last conference here also in Berlin We have over 2,000 contributors to next cloud from all over the world. So it's actually a very big international open source project one of the biggest Which I think is really really cool that so many people from all over the place with different backgrounds come together and work together on this software and have the same mission behind it and the mission is of course That we try to solve Some of the negative trends that are on the internet at the moment. So we have a lot of centralization of cloud services software as a service where all the data is more and more locked in into data silos of A few big vendors. I mean you all know that all the big huge cloud companies and they're suck up all the data from all the They are all the people and they host all the main applications on the internet and this is not healthy So what we're trying to do here is to decentralize the infrastructure again Decentralize the internet. So that's our mission There is a new term for that digital serenity That's a very relatively hot term at the moment. You hear this more and more especially in politics Which means that everybody and everybody can be an individual can also be a government or a company or some other Organization should be in control of their digital assets and their data and their applications and so on So this is a big trend at the moment And this is also something we want to achieve and provide with next cloud We're doing this with a different business model than this big cloud companies. So We don't sell any software licenses We are completely community driven. We don't misuse user data We don't spy on the data of the users We don't sell advertising and we don't do many of these other things that the big cloud companies do So we a bit of a counter model here for these big organizations So as I mentioned, we're doing this for many years already for close to 10 years The best version the latest version at the moment is Next-Cloud 17. This is something we Launched just four months ago at a conference in Berlin I think it's a very good release. It has many improvements with the text editor or the Remote wipe and many other things and I think something really really good I hope that everybody is using it. So do you like it? What do you think? Is it good? Yeah, I think it's a really nice milestone It's actually also used by a lot of big organization is used by the German government But French government by the European Commission by actually many other people. So it's a big step forward but I Don't want to talk too much about the past here. I want to talk about the future and what's coming I want to talk about what's coming in the next decade. So something that we're doing in the next 10 years So for that, we actually want to look at the next major version of next cloud that we are launching today And here we're doing some significant changes So let's look a little bit back how this all started So when I launched this 10 years ago, I focus on files So it was all about file syncing and sharing I called it at a time open source Dropbox It's of course a bit stupid to identify yourself with a proper Terry competitor But at the end this is what it was so you had like your your files and your Folders on your server and you can synchronize it to all your devices and access it from everywhere Relatively quickly it became clear that there's a need for more And because of that we introduced this app concept where we had these plugins for all kinds of extensions running on top of This files you can share solution So for example, there was a photo gallery relatively quickly. There was an activity app There was a jet video calling app email contacts and Calendar so relatively quickly this became more than just files as a collection of all kinds of applications, but That the thing was always that files were in the middle and the others were second-class citizens that could be installed or not So it was all about files you can share was still the core and This is one of the changes that we do today that we turn this around and we make everything a first-class citizen Which means if you install this new version of next cloud you get everything by default So it's no longer just files and everything else you need to manually install But everything is basically Installed by default And it's actually a bit funny because if you look at list of these icons and you log in into this new next-cloud version For the first time then you see that they're exactly the icons here on top That's exactly the idea. So the navigation of these different apps is exactly what you get if you install if you log in into the first For the first time, of course, this is not everything we did. We also improved the different pieces Significantly, so I would like to go through each of them one by one and see what changes we've made So let's get started with the files part the first part There you have the the basic interface that you already know where you can upload and download files You can filter them. You can search them. They are recommended files on top their favorites and so on You can also switch to a grid view which works very nice for example with pictures And you can extend this sidebar here where you have like activities and chat and comments And sharing of course and versions and other things Sharing is a very important part where we have exact and especially Advanced sharing features nowadays with a lot of options like read-only sharing or uploading only or Sharing something with our download options or passive protected sending a note to a recipient and many more options So this becomes really really useful So this is all stuff that's more or less existed before But we are built on top of that the first thing is that we have a new sharing workflow So it's now possible that you can send a share to someone that other person has to accept So you get a nice notification here where you can accept the share and if you don't like it Then you don't get it. That's new. That's a new thing The next thing is there's very easily possible to transfer files and folders to other users So if you want don't want you have some files if you're responsible for some project And you want to transfer for example a complete structure to another user then that's very easy here Another new feature is something we call rich workspaces So this is a nice way where you can document on top of a file list what these files are all about So if I can for example can say here are my Photos and this is the license and this is where they come from and we actually have embedded our Markdown editor here on top where they can document what you what these files are and what you can do with it So this is easy for photos here But also for projects Let's say you work together on a project and they can document look here this out of all the files for a project and These are the responsible people and you can even have a like a checklist here on top And you can also document some of the workflows I will show you later where they can say that look every time and a file is uploaded into the folder There's automatic a notification center responsible person or they're automatically converted to a PDF Of course, they're also available on mobile so there's also Integration into the mobile app so the mobile app also can show this information on top of the files list and If you just access your files via web stuff or by the desktop client Then all the information is just accessible isn't in a read me file So you still have the information The next feature is one of the longest feature requests we have and this is file locking So you can now lock a file and say look I'm working on this now I don't want anyone else working on it at the same time because if they do you might get a merge conflict or something You can lock it and then you work on it and and if you're done then you unlock it Of course if you want to work on a file, which is locked by someone else Then you can still click on the name and start a chat and say hey, what are you doing at the moment with this file? I also want to do it. You can synchronize and then work together So this is a rough overview over the over the features But I think everything becomes a bit clearer if you see it live and because of that I want to ask Jan our design lead to demo it to you Yeah, demo time. Let's see if this works first. I need Screen mirroring setup or I will just doing do it without it. I guess So yeah first thing as Frank already mentioned, there's a lot of things which a lot of new improvements that we have and That that allow you to focus on your work But one of the things that we also changed is a slight slight design update so out with the dots in with the gradient and also the The app icons so now that we really treat everything as first-class citizens. We also directly show it So let's see what this is I'll just allow it. I guess couldn't read it anyway. So I Will just log in here So you see directly everything that is important for me is directly visible Yeah, I see my workspaces. I see my recommended files I see the favorites directly up top if I'm in a sub folder. I also see the favorited folders directly here Yeah, and yeah, I can just manage everything from from here It's like the home screen basically and so here I work for example on a specific project with Nina And I can see here. Also, we use a project plan for example, we use the the task list in the rich workspaces to to manage it and Then also in the sharing you can see for example Roland is also part of this project But then we always have this issue that you don't really see who else is Part of the who else can access it via for example parent folders of the folder that Nina shared And now we have this as this others with access entry And now we see a whole bunch of other people actually have access through this Through this parent folder that Nina shared with me So I know exactly now who can access it who can who can see the files and Who I can also probably talk to about it and then additionally you see here the the project feature We already connected it to a talk room So it's directly all connected and it just makes sense that it's that it's all in in one group and Yeah, as you might also see That everything is kind of more readable Maybe maybe you don't see it now in the presentation But you will feel it when you use it because we increase the font size So the the base font size is all increased across the whole board And yeah, so that helps a lot with readability and legibility in the same We actually did across the board with the sidebar. So the this whole sidebar this sharing sidebar the whole sharing design is Standardized across all the apps. So for example calendar and and and talk They all use the same standardized sidebar And this is of course a standard that you can use as an app developer as well And so here as I mentioned if you want to focus again on the on the project itself you have this the project planning here and For example, you could you could change something like I don't know when you Are finished with this presentation you can just check it off and you can also write a new thing. Yeah, actually Interestingly, this is all so also Collaboratively so you see Ruland just a few seconds ago edited it because this just runs on our text app that we released with the last version and so yeah It just works. It's collaboratively just like the folder But there's one thing, of course, you also heard from Frank if you don't like collaboration or if there are specific Files that yeah are not really working collaboratively for example here. We have a photoshop file You can lock them. So this one for example was locked by Nina and in this case Yeah, I could unlock the file and or I could I could chat with her and see how to unlock the file or Here for example, I can also Lock the file and then it's locked and everyone else will see it's locked by me and then I can say unlock the file and it's unlocked again and Yeah, and then the last thing when you want to hand over a project hand over file Just like I will hand over the presentation back to Frank Basically, you go to the settings and in the in the personal settings in the sharing settings You can transfer whole folders to another user. Yeah, that's basically it. Thank you Thanks a lot Yeah, so this is really really cool because a lot of features that we did over the years actually coming together And we together it becomes this very nice Collaborative workspace and this really nice environment where you can really effectively work together in teams. I'm really happy That we have this now one of the chances we had to show to people the power that is behind all these features And because of that we actually created some videos To show this to people and the first one about next lot files. I want to show it to you now Next cloud files with next cloud files, you can manage all your files and documents you can up look This was fast Next cloud files with next cloud files, you can manage all your files and documents You can upload download edit view delete and share them Anything is possible. It is easy to find your files. You can use the distinctive feature to mark important files By tagging you can find files based on the topic With a full text search you can find files based on their content. Nothing gets lost anymore in The sidebar you can view the version of a file leave comments Then see what happened to it Share files and folders with others and even chat about some documents Next cloud can show you file recommendations based on your past behavior You can also look at your files in a grid view It can show you the context of a folder with an innovative workspaces feature You can easily document what the files on a folder are You can also access and manage your files from mobile phones tablets and desktops This is how it has to be What do you think? Very cool Okay, but this is what it's just the first app. I want to mention today. This is there's a lot more Let's go to the next one. The next one is the photos app So this is something you might some of the long-term next-cloud user might think what photos that was the gallery Yeah, we had the gallery app for a long time and this was getting a little bit old So we decided to completely build a new one and this is next-cloud photos, which is the successor of gallery This is a completely new one where you can use to view your photos and manage it It's very fast and responsive and endless scrolling here. For example, it's very nice You can filter your photos by favorites and albums and tagging and other things Of course, you can also watch your photos if you want and you can also extend like a sidebar Where they can easily share your photos with other people with your friends and family and you can even chat around Photo that is shared with others. So if you actually want to share your vacation pictures with your family There's no need to upload it to Google or Facebook or some other centralized service But you can share your data directly from inside next cloud And if you have the new maps app installed, you can even look where the photos are taken Based on a map So that's a very nice feature where you can see the different photos and where they are done. That's very powerful So the next app I want to cover now is talk. This is of course a very important strategic feature from us This is about chat and video calling There are also there are a lot of other chat and video calling apps on the internet, of course But they're most of them absolutely most of them are centralized services Which means they're all run by one service provider. You can't host it themselves Next lot talk is something you can host yourself some of the others claim to the yeah, no problem Yeah, the data is end-to-end encrypted might be true how to save their proprietary might be true But something that's definitely the clear is that the user accounts. They're all owned by this company And all this company also knows all the metadata who talks with whom how long and so on This is not the case all the metadata is everything is on your server. So this is the most secure solution So if you install If you go into it for the first time it might look like that You have your different rooms and conversations on the side. You have your chat here And you have some other related information on the on the right-hand side You can filter conversations on top. That's a new feature You can reply to messages like here. That's another new feature. It's very useful And one of the most popular feature request Very important feature the most important feature. We made the emojis bigger of course a more serious improvement is The new flow to create new conversations So we can create a new conversation with this new flow and it also integrates with user defined groups and and circles There's a feature for lobby so you can create like a web meeting or a webinar where you can schedule a start time and all the other Participants they get like this wait screen and if the time is reached automatically the talk starts There's a call the feature called video verification. That's a Feature where we can do very secure sharing. So let's say you want to share File with someone you make it password protected But you actually never transfer the password like over the internet But you verify the identity of the other person with a video call and then give them the password So this is a way to do super secure sharing There's also integration for Commands or chatbots. So if there's an example here for our pulse apps or directly in a chat channel We can execute different commands or do polls and do kinds of all kinds of other things Of course, this is all a web interface so far and but there's a lot more. There's for example the mobile apps So here's a incoming calling screen So if someone calls you this just looks like a normal phone call, but it's all goes through your next lot talk server the reply feature is also in mobile and Multi-account is also now it here in the iOS app So you can actually connect to different servers or in this case you can have different identities which some people might like I don't know Okay, but again, these are just screenshots I think it's better if you believe me if you see it live and for that I want to ask Nina to show it to us in In the demo Hi, everyone So I have an extra challenge which is to move the mouse on the trackpad on this huge screen. So no judgment, please So you've been introduced to files before but I think we all know that Sometimes sharing a file is not enough to collaborate and that you actually need context and discussion about this So basically what you want is to be able to start a conversation around the file that you share So this is doable in next cloud and I've actually had the use case recently Okay Like that Okay so I had the use case recently with Roland because we were working on this transcript file and Now I need to gather some feedback from him. It's already shared. So we can start the conversation So I joined the conversation with Roland and well Hi, Roland like I need some feedback And well, he might take some time to actually give me some feedback. So in the meantime, I will go over my other team conversations So now you are in talk. Talk is very straightforward. Basically, you get this overview of everything that happens All your conversations or the people you talk to you. It's all in the left sidebar but the most part of your screen is actually dedicated to what is most important, which is your current conversation and So if we have a look at this company chat That I have Yes, I want to share notifications. Absolutely Does it work better? I hope well so as Frank said we introduced something very useful, which is the reply feature because it lets you reply directly to message which gives you more context in terms of a smoothness of the conversation flow so Sometimes you don't have to make it very difficult very complex, but at least it works and I see that Roland already has gathered the feedback. So what does he want? Yeah, he wants me to send a picture that we plan to use to illustrate this. It's very easy to share directly from your files inside of talk so of course you can have my feedback and illustration and Now he wants to call me which I actually would like to do because it's not easy to type with the microphone So yeah, sure. Let's have a call Hi Roland Well looks like you are with quite a busy audience Okay, can you hear me properly? I guess so we are in the same room. So that helps Okay, so I think I can also share my camera and enable video. Yeah, sure. Hey Yeah, thank you for the screen sharing We had this discussion that we didn't know if we wanted to illustrate with landscape or with animals Actually, I like your option better. Is it the Netherlands? It looks nice. I like it. Okay and also like So I can tell you since we are in a conversation So I had asked you for some feedback about this presentation that you never gave and I'll be honest It's a bit late now. So well, can you at least let me know if everything went well? Thank you Okay Very cool Okay, so I think this is a very very impressive tool where you can communicate and collaborate around the documents and really work together in the team very efficiently and again to show it to you we again Created the video and I want to play to you now next cloud talk With next cloud talk you can chat do video calls and collaborate around your documents Communication is the key. Just saying Hey Carl, nice hair by the way You have chat rooms about topics one-on-one chats where you can even invite external Participants and on top of that you can group files and rooms and other resources into projects You can easily integrate external applications and scripts into your chat workflows Calls can be scheduled for a specific time. This is for example useful for web meetings or webinars You will never miss a call again Except when you want to miss them With next cloud talk you can do video calls and screen sharing with several people at once You can also chat and do video calling with the native mobile apps You will get push notifications every time you get a call or a new chat message like this one here Okay Let's move to the next step which is the calendar calendar is something that existed for quite some time in next cloud But we actually decided to completely rewrite it So at the moment and the next lot The next version we have the calendar 2.0, which is a significant improvement So first of all, it has a completely refreshed new user interface here So it's faster and cleaner and easier to use But it's also a complete enterprise create calendar, which means you can access all the all the entries from your phone and Tablet and desktop and there's even an Outlook connector. So this becomes a real completely enterprise create groupware tool here It has all the usual functionalities like sending invitations to people sharing calendars reminders Recurring events and so on free busy booking and everything you expect But of course, we didn't want to stop there. So we also created some of the more interesting features So this is for example There's a nice way to if you create an event and you invite some people then with one click You can create a talk room directly and attach the link to the room to all to this meeting and send invitations to everybody So it's basically schedule of a web meeting is just one additional click. So that's very useful The next feature the next app I want to mention is mail We have a very nice mail interface. It has all the usual functionalities that you expect from a from a nice mail client It also has auto provisioning, which means if you run this in your organization Then if everybody would just install looks into next load automatically has the mail Pre-configured here. It supports multi-accounts. So you can connect different mail accounts and even has GBG encryption support Of course it integrates into next-load files with attachments so you can attach files To your mail and there's also a app where all attachments that you get by mail is then saved in files back So it's a very nice file integration in both directions. So this is just an I would say a state of the art Powerful mail client, but again, we want to do something special something unique that doesn't exist anywhere else And because of that, we're really happy that we teamed up with our friends from the KDE community To integrate a special feature where we can actually detect tickets in in mails so if you get a like a booking confirmation from your from your train company or from your Hotel or from your airline then it's automatically detected and she missed just one click you can add it to your calendar And that's not just something that's looks for like two or three ticket types But actually the KDE community folk is here in the room I did an amazing job. So this is compatible with hundreds of ticket types from different like Bus companies and train companies and airlines and hotel chains and so on so this is very nice And again, you know what's coming now, of course we create another video to show it to you Group where in the next cloud calendar, you can manage and share all your appointments Everything works better now with my line dance group. Yee-haw You can easily create new calendar entries Then even create a next cloud talk room associated with the entry. Are you in next week? I got something for you to keep your schedule of today. Check this All the calendars can be synced and accessed on your mobile phone or desktop including outlook. No more excuses In next cloud contacts, you can view manage and share all your contacts You can also group them together based on topics in next cloud mail. You can read and write all your emails The attachment handling is integrated into next cloud files Next cloud mail detects itineraries showing you information about your trip that you can easily add to your calendar Perfectly organized now you can get started Texas here I come the land of line dancing. Yee-haw Okay, so the next app I want to cover is next cloud flow So this is an innovative workflow engine. That's part of this next cloud release Some of you might remember that we did a pre announcement for that at the conference This is why we wanted to ask other people to get feedback and integrated into their software which some of already did That's very amazing, but this is a very nice workflow engine So it helps you to automate processes and boring tasks and everything else and can be automated, of course so there's a way to get like a notification if If a specific file is changed or uploaded or special text or something is happening with some Excel File over a specific size or you can say I want to post About this file change into a specific jet channel. You can say every time The sales team Stores a new order in a specific folder as notification the sales chat channel for example That's very useful or external scripts can be executed Which is something we worked on did together with some universities because you can trigger like External systems super computers do some analysis based on uploading of specific raw data There's something that can be done. We can automatically tech files based and based on specific requirements And also do automatic PDF conversion if something is in a specific folder I showed you earlier this screen shot about a workplace. This is a great Place where this girl comes together so I can say here This is project folder and every time someone updates a folder here There's a message in the specific chat room So you know what your colleagues are doing and okay Someone worked on this requirements document and everybody can see it or you can also say like I don't know Word files are automatically converted to PDFs if you want to So as I mentioned we did a preview for that like four months ago and asked other people to integrate and some community people even did for example There's Rello which is also here in the audience who is working on this amazing Data analysis app, which is released soon. I think and he already integrated flow into this app So this app can do nice visualization of raw data That's available in next cloud and this can be triggered every time The file is changed. So every time the file is changed. There's a new graph automatically generated So this is a nice example of a workflow Thanks Next topic is desktop and mobile because I talked a lot about the server But of course next cloud is also a ball about mobile and and desktop So we all have significant proof in this area for example on the mobile clients We have integration of this new edit action So every time there's a file a word file or text file or something You can go and edit and then an editor that's available on the server is automatically launched And you can automatically edit it directly in the in the in the app natively And that's also way to generate like native files from your phone the desktop client is Has a new beta release out today Which is very cool because it has a complete new interface Some of you might know the current desktop client, which is very technical So you see a lot of technical information like sync logs and other things But a lot of people think that actually the content shouldn't be more in the foreground Like someone mentions you a file is changed or something else is happening So this is all like seen a lot nicer now and this will come out very soon and as I said This is a screenshot of the better which is available today Okay, so now I'm done with all those different apps and all these improvements And you might think already wow This is a lot of things and a lot of areas and we bundle all those apps by default and so many improvements all over the place And we thought the same there's a lot happening And this is why we decided to call the next next cloud version not 18 as you might think to actually give it a Special name a new name because we think we reach a complete new product category here So today, I'm really happy to say that we have a new name and the name is Next load hub So next load hub is like your hub for for your digital life for all your data and for all your communication This is the place where everything comes together. So this is our new name Okay, so we really think that this is a significant step forward Where you have like your files and your chat and your calendar and your contacts and everything together Everything self-hosted everything open source, of course And this is really something where open source can compete with the big American cloud companies Of course, yeah But then you might think wait is not is not Frank a bit Accelerating here, but isn't there something missing? Isn't there something like Something else that's missing in a real work context. What? Talks Docs. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that's what people do sometimes right working on documents From time to time. Yeah, what about office? I mean, isn't there like a way to edit like office documents? That's a like a very important feature, of course and as you know There are already some office options available in next cloud So we have a partnership with our friends from only office for example will provide that we have a partnership with Collabra you can even integrate Microsoft Office online into next cloud if you really want to so there are several different options that you can do But they're all a bit difficult Because we did some service between our in our in our user base and roughly only 10% of the next users have something like that Installed the reason is that you need to run a special docker container. You need like a reverse proxy need some configuration It's actually a little bit difficult But we were thinking what can we do to bring something like that to 100% of our users What can we do to make this so super easy that all this crazy configuration is not really needed? So this is something that was Discussed and worked for long long long long time literally years and For roughly a year. We're actually working on a solution So we actually teamed up with our partners from only office to build a solution for this problem So I'm really happy to say that every next cloud hub installation actually contains out of the box a fully working office suite So it looks like that. It's just the only office interface as some of you might know In front and looks very very similar. It's installed by default. It has nice integrated front end For example, you have the sidebar with all the sharing and commenting and chatting as we mentioned before With the difference that is installed by default There's a fool. It's a fool working office suite with text spreadsheet Presentations everything you expect with collaborative editing everything you expect it runs fully on premise It's open source and there's no configuration needed. There's no configuration needed. Of course, there's some technical limitations so this is nothing that can and replace like the full fledged products of our partners But it's not a problem because it's very easy to upgrade this built-in solution into something like the real only office Enterprise which is a lot faster and has more features or collaborative online or Microsoft Office online So this is absolutely possible As you might know what's coming now. I also want to show you a video So I hope document collaboration With next cloud you can edit all your office documents. You can do this in the browser on your mobile or on the desktop Just click on a document now you can edit it That's it. It's simple and the best part of it. You don't even need a full office suite installed What was the text again before I changed it yesterday? Oh, I'll just have a quick look That's no problem because you can restore older versions leave comments on the document and see what happened to it If you want to edit your document together with somebody else, just share it Look, it's that easy Carl Paulette and Mickey Bam. Welcome to the party You can invite people on the same server or people who are on a remote federated server Or just invite people by email or share directly on a chat channel and you're done Now let's work together with the different cursors in the document You can see what others are doing in real time. So we work together much faster and more efficiently You can chat with people while they are working on your document Can you edit the choreography till tomorrow? If chatting is not enough you will love this function You can do a video call with the people who are collaborating with you on the document Of course only if your hair looks nice or just use a cover up for your face. Just kidding You can do all of this on mobile too while you're on the road or at a meeting Or in the restroom, but nobody does that Great And once everyone is done, all the changes are automatically synced back to your desktop and all your other devices This is how it has to be done So this is really the result of a lot of work as you can imagine There's a lot of work being done with a new backend and all kinds of integration things But most important is what's of course only possible Because we work together with our partner only office I'm one happy that Galina from only office is here. Maybe you can come to the stage for a second Thanks a lot and you want to say something? Yes Hi everyone. So I just wanted to say a huge thank you for Working together to next cloud team We are really working together for quite a long time and today it's very important step to Really shorten the way from downloading only office for next cloud and usage start So now it's really easy to start to use it. It's available for all the next cloud instances by default It's easy to use. It's easy to upgrade to enterprise edition if you really need it And now we really can concentrate on next Level of security and new features. So really thank you Thanks a lot Okay, so I think this is a really Really nice milestone that we have here together where all the pieces come together to be the the first real Alternative to this big american cloud services Of course, if you look at all these components that are part of next cloud hub You might create a get the impression that this is all that's there And that's not true because of course we still have this huge ecosystem of third party apps So there are over 200 apps for all kinds of use cases for like Vector drawing or some social things or some other alternatives to our huge community and More are added every day and this is something that I think makes next cloud as an ecosystem even more powerful Okay, now it's the question of course, what about availability? So when can I get all of that and now there are some some companies who are very good with pre announcements I don't like that too much. So everything I showed you today is actually available today So you can go now to our website to our download server download it use it today You can also go to our demo server and test it if you want So and this is all production ready available today so we gave some journalists some Some pre access to the software and ask for feedback and some gave us Feedback very nice one. I want to share two specifically That's first check wallet from tech republic who said never before I've been impressed by such a by with a piece of open source software So that's a very nice quote And that's of course the spiegel who says next cloud is a counter model to the typical cloud offerings of the large us provided such as microsoft Which is also true Okay, so I'm at the summary here So I think What we have here doesn't exist anywhere else. So this combination of completely self-hosted Rich features federated Open source and everything else community driven doesn't exist anywhere else We have all the modern collaboration and communication features that I expected nowadays Everything we do is open source and on-premise 100% right. There is no like hidden proper tariff features anywhere. This is a commitment from us. Everything is 100% open source There's no vendor login You can use it and do whatever you want with it. There's no there's no Contracts that force you to not use the software as you want doesn't exist Everything is federated and distributed Everything is secure and privacy aware. That's the whole mission behind it And everything is community driven So next cloud is as you know, of course a company But we are only a small part of the community. The community is a lot bigger and only together with the bigger community We can achieve that So I started this presentation when I said like look 10 years ago. I started this idea I think now 10 years later I think we can change the game again for the next 10 years And I would say Microsoft Google box dropbox brace yourself the open source community is coming after you Thanks a lot. Okay. Okay. Okay Because this is only the first part of our announcements There's actually a little something more Which I think is equally interesting or maybe even more interesting So I think I convinced you that next cloud hub is a very powerful software That has a lot of benefits and productivity and security in other areas And of course something that you should use But of course then the question is how can I use it? That's always the question. How do I get it? I mean, there are some people who can just download it from our website and host it themselves Or I don't know run it on a raspberry pi or somewhere else But for a lot of users, it's actually very important To get next cloud hosted by a service provider. So this is something that makes it convenient for Big companies and also private users And for a long time, of course, we are working together with service providers But today we have a special announcement Because actually today we announce a collaboration with the biggest european service provider and this is Jonas by 1s and 1s And I'm really happy to have reiner here svp global platform. I'm hosting to tell us a little bit more about our partnership here Thank you Yeah, thanks frank First of all, it's a pleasure being here and being part of this Amazing journey and it's uh, I didn't knew that's 10 years old. So I'm really looking forward for the next 10 years And I'm happy to be part of the journey and contribute to this journey Now, um Well, let me put the red button. So here we are So there frank already mentioned a couple of reasons why to use next cloud and that was already amazing and convincing But I just want to emphasize on two reasons that really Drives us moving forward As a as a german cloud provider and everything the whole journey of a Jonas started actually in germany in calzara There are two things and these two things are really kind of pushed forward and upward in the press as well The first one is data serenity And the question is how do we get this and In our daily life and that affects myself as well We feel so much kind of linked into the u.s. Companies and even into the chinese companies So how can we can we kind of build our own? Data serenity And one really one solution is rely on open source and open standards And that's what we're really pushing forward in our company as well as together with all the partners So one way to really get independent get sovereign is using open source And open source is super super powerful. Once you get really in touch with the open source ecosystem There was even Eric Robreska from github just doing a cool presentation A couple of months ago is saying hey, we have 40 million developers 40 million developers contributing each year on the github repository and The biggest 10,000 projects have 75,000 contributors. This is more than fortune 500 companies in the world have So the power of open source is unbelievable um And that's why we so uh enthusiastic about but products like like next cloud Which have the combination of open source globally contribution Everybody can decide what to do with open source everybody can contribute if you want to change something just change it do it So we're really kind of thrilled by this open source approach and just make sure that open source runs on our platform So what we provide is platforms. I'm responsible for the hosting and cloud platform in Ayano since about seven eight years now And it's an amazing journey that we have They've done so far and together with next cloud. I think we have a kind of really cool future in front of us and you probably know that Here in especially in germany and in europe we try to get more and more sovereignty Over time So data sovereignty is one of the key drivers that pushes forward having next cloud running on our german data centers For our customers to give them really kind of additional benefit a benefit and the second one is legal certainty We have a lot of customers especially the small mid-sized customers Really kind of afraid of putting software somewhere other than our local data center And i'm not saying that this local data centers of most small companies are really safe They're not They don't have the powers of people the knowledge really to drive data centers up to a security level that is required nowadays So it's really this uncertainty Which we have to overcome we have to help these companies to gain this certainly Now first of all Which makes them more comfortable is German legislation I think most companies and even myself would be really struggled with legislation of companies in china and even the u.s It is tough and probably sometimes even a no-go um and gdpr In germany you call it DSG for all So this is really how to protect your data It's your data you're owning this data and nobody else owns this data and nobody has the right really To get this data steal this data or use this data for whatever without your allowance and cloud act actually is Doing this class is Effective saying hey, if these guys want they will take your data And we're not okay with it. That's very simple. We're not okay so To gain this data sovereignty. I think we have to build This platform Hosting cloud platform that we can support here out of germany the germany company. It's a european company together with next cloud Allowing us really to have this independent and sovereign system. Now. How are we going to do this? We it's a start of a journey and always starts with Kind of getting knowing each other that took some time now and we were absolutely amazed about learning about frank's and frank's visions Um, but the first step is that we start this collaboration today Um, we guarantee and we're sure that the software is seamlessly running on our platforms that we have Uh, but there's more to come. This is not this is starting of a journey Uh, we want to have much deeper technology integration Um without getting when the log in so i'm really a big fan of what frank said when the long is a no-go Um, you the customer have to have the right to move the data wherever you want at whatever time so I'm proud to have a cool platform in place I'm sure customers will love the platform together with this product, but when they want to move they can move very simple So no when the login Even though we try to integrate the platform to make it for our users as simple as possible To use this product and have an easy entry into the system at the same time We want to contribute because there are a couple of things we learned in our experience being a cloud provider um We have a few million customers um That really give us regular feedback and we would love really to forward this feedback To next cloud as well and make sure that this product gets better by contributing as everybody can do so Frank thanks a lot. It's a pleasure of having the starting point here. I'm looking forward really for a big big journey and for the next 10 years Yeah, thanks a lot The only thing for me left is now also to say thank you for all of you coming and watching the live stream and being interested In what what we are doing. We still have some drinks and snacks here prepared I hope you still stick around a little bit for some chatting and conversations and interesting exchange And yeah, I hope this was interesting for you. Thanks for coming and have fun with next cloud hub. Thank you
