 Thanks a lot Fabrice. Wow, this is so awesome to see all of you here This is really really so nice to have a real next-loud conference again I I don't know about you, but I personally really missed that during the COVID times and Of course we are back with a with a big bang because this is the biggest conference so far in the history of next club is over 250 people here So let's them applause for that So that's that's that's that's really cool and not even counting the people on the live stream, of course So this is really really really impressive. We also have some Organizations here that are doing really cool stuff around privacy morena. For example Nitro key our friends from Colabra and others. So it's really nice to be in such a good good company here today Let's have another applause Thanks So I'm also very happy that we have awesome keynotes coming up the next few days and let's get started with Mike Mike Ausendorf he's the speaker of the Committee for digitalization and the German Bundestag and he's also like a long-term open source Yeah inventor Supporter and personal friend and I'm really happy that he will be here to talk a little bit about the open-source strategy in Germany later I'm also happy that we have Felix Reda as a speaker Felix Of course was a long-time member of the European Parliament and a fighter for digital rights and open source So this will also be super interesting and of course Renata who is the CEO of the open knowledge foundation? So I really think this will super interesting cool keynotes and I'm really looking forward to that The motto of this conference. Yes for the first time. We have a motto actually is shaping It's a bit too early Daphne, but thanks The motto of this conference is Is shaping the future of privacy and privacy is obviously something that is absolutely important as in a core of Next slide This is why we all doing this in the first place because we want to protect all the data of all the users And so privacy is one of our core values But this is not the only core value we have we actually have more of that and to show it to you We actually have a nice video and let me play it now We believe privacy is a fundamental human right and everybody should have access to secure communication free from surveillance We are building decentralized products as an alternative to centralized platforms people can choose what they want and where they want it We believe in open source and open standards open source is the only way for users to trust their devices We value sustainability protecting people society and the environment We believe accessibility is a fundamental human right and technology should be accessible to everyone The time of our users is very important to us. That's why we do our best to make next thought easy to use We foster diversity from innovation to transparency and collaboration Working with our communities and supporting marginalized people leads to a better result So what do you all think? I think this is this is really really nice But let's get started with next lot next lot is of course as you all know It's just really incredibly cool tool for collaboration and communication over the internet while protecting your data and your privacy And I'm personally really happy and this really motivates me personally a lot That is really used in a lot of very cool and interesting scenarios So for example, it's used by MST international for their collaboration and their communication over the internet and really Protecting the data and the communication of for example activists or journalists in places that are not very friendly And this is of course where privacy via next lot can really help to make an impact So for me, this is really motivating. We're doing something good here It's also used by students and pupils in schools and universities all over the world This is an example from Sunet. That's a solution in Sweden where people can learn from home and can really do have Nice e-learning experience and next lot is a part of it again protecting your privacy Next lot is also super useful in scenarios where people don't have access to cloud services from the u.s Or from china here for example people in And students in in Africa who really with Raspberry Pi's to get a next cloud can really use and then look into new technologies learn and build something up Same as here in asia is our friends from fos asia who really make next lot available To a lot of people students who just want to learn something and again have access to great open source technology Another area where next lot is super successful is in with governments So a lot of governments all over europe or all over the world are actually using next cloud to protect their data Digital sovereignty is the key word here that we want to keep in staying in control of everything And that's something where next lot is also works very very well And last but not least of course for all kinds of other organizations and enterprises So if you want to do remote work for example Everything is nowadays a lot more remote than before kovat. Um, you really want to have a paperless office You want to really want to work from wherever you are and you have everything available all your communication all your Collaboration tools and this is another area where next lot is super popular So i'm really happy to say that next lot in the last few years really grew to the biggest alternative To the microsoft 365 or google workspace solution. So we are the leading competitor to them, which i think is really awesome But now let's talk about the things that i think you're really interested in which are the news We have here today So as you know, we have next lot hub, which is nice integrated product where everything comes together And today i'm really happy that we can announce the new version which is next of hub three So the next major step for us to brings us forward And there's really a ton of improvements all over the place that went into this release We structured them in 10 areas. So we actually have 10 big improvements here They really make significant steps forward and i would like to invite nimisha and yan from our design team to talk about the first one Hello everyone So as you know design is very important to us at next lot to be competitive Yeah to proprietary solutions and all sorts of solutions out there So we put a really big importance on it and yeah, you can probably tell from our product And yeah, i'm really happy to Show to you today together with nimisha how we improved for next lot hub three So yeah We spend nowadays we spend a lot of time in front of computers Yeah, we do it for personal stuff for work for entertainment or anything And so yeah a lot of time is spent in front of screens So it's really important that software gets out of our way that it allows us to get our work done quickly and To our satisfaction and also maybe that we have a little bit of fun Yeah, so i think i think we can we can have that as well And because of that we have four main principles in next lot for next lot design that we follow So the first one is that we focus on the content Yeah, your stuff is always front and center be it your contacts be it your talk conversations be it your Calendar events anything you want to work with your work should be the main thing in next lot And you should be able to get your work done. That is always the focus So the second thing is ease of use you heard it before It's next lot should be very easy to use that should get out of the way Yeah, it should be able it should work without any setting any settings or anything I mean, we of course have settings. Yeah, don't worry about that and you can modify some But the defaults should work for you should work for most people. Yeah, and It should just should just work easily And then the third thing is that we should have great accessibility Yeah, next lot should be accessible should be usable by everyone Should be able to use by people with with vision impairments with motor impairments No matter whether you use a screen reader for example, or whether you like to use next lot keyboard only For example, it should all work and it should work for everyone And yeah, it should be accessible for everyone And the fourth principle one that we really focused on for this release a bit more Is that you should be able to make next lot your own Yeah, you should be able to customize it a little bit style it to your liking So that it really feels a bit more like like home or like a place you you you get to like a like your your office desk Maybe yeah, or your home office desk So that you that it doesn't just feel very cold or whatever like a like any old software basically So this is why We're very happy to introduce the new next lot design and UX which we call next lot personal and We will show you more about how that looks like and how that works like. I'll hand over to nemisha Thank you, Jan So this I'm sure all of you recognize this. It's the dashboard. It's familiar We all know it we all love it and I'm sure all of you have you know Maybe customize your dashboard a little bit by setting your own little background there and you know made a little bit of your own So with the new design The back the background is now more visible in all of your apps So, you know, you can really play around with it The focus is still on the content while still having a little bit of fun by showing the background a little bit You know in the navigation you can still you know open your files Do whatever you want with it and when you change your background that's going to shine through a little bit as well So let's see a little more of it. This is how it looks in the activity You're going to see way more of this in the upcoming sections in mail talk and all of the other apps So in this release we also did a lot of improvements with accessibility as Jan said it's a very important value to us and now it can be easily accessed from the top right hand menu And this is also the section where we can play around with all the backgrounds. So let's see how some of that looks So you can change it to something super colorful like this bright pink background over here, you know And you know, obviously you can still you know set your notifications or whatever While you can still see that it's shining through a little bit just on the background Or you can go some for something a little bit more mellow and autumnal like in Christine's profile over here And of course we didn't forget dark mode. I mean, we're at the next core conference. How could we forget the dark mode? We can have a bright pink background over here and it looks great and what you've all been waiting for for the real darkness Dark background dark mode. We're all real hackers here. Let's face it So this is the new next cloud design feel free to pay around with it and really make it your own Welcome to new next cloud. So next I have So let's invite Fabrice onto the stage for the next improvement Thank you, Namisha Right Check check. Yes So I have the honor to talk about our second big improvement of next cloud 25, which is the photos app so Photos are probably our most important data So they carry our memories They show our loved ones and we share the moments with others So photos are dear to us and they will stay dear to us forever And photos in the past were always private and under your control But we are moving to this digital situation where we have digital pictures and they are moving online And it seems that for managing photos We are trapped in these proprietary systems like From google and apple with next cloud. We want to change that and so today We are announcing next cloud photos 2.0 So in photos 2.0 2.0 We are introducing a tile view and the first thing you might notice is the Massive performance improvement there. So you have all these types nicely fitted together For your viewing pleasure at an enjoyable speed But also we you asked and we delivered we are introducing albums now you can collect and share your photos And showing and sharing your photos is seriously a breeze So you can do so by you know Sharing that with somebody you know, but you can also use A public link like we do with this event so you can upload your pictures there And the easy sharing of photo is made possible with that all right We have an auto upload function for photos From the clients But for those moments when you need to upload the photos manually We now support direct uploading of your pictures via the photos app So no more fiddling in file management directly via the photos app And last but not least we are introducing this built-in photo editor Which is offering a fast array of features and filters for editing and touching up all of those favorite cat photos of yours So for example, you you can make some drawings here or you can do some cropping and resizing Perhaps you have like that Tiny any teeny we need touch you want to make to your cat picture And if you are if you desire to do so you can use any filter we Provide you within the built-in editor for use So we made a little video and we're showcasing to you the new photos app Photos of our friends vacations and memories are some of our most precious data And next lot photos makes them easily accessible We made the new photos app a lot faster and introduced a new layout for the photos This release also comes with a new photo editor The editor can do a lot of common things like scale and crop draw apply filters and more Another improvement we made is the introduction of albums You can sort your pictures in albums and a picture can be in multiple albums You can add photos from your computer directly in photos now from the albums view from folders or from the photos view These albums can be shared with friends family members or core workers who can put in their own pictures You can find albums shared with you here We hope you enjoy the new next load photos and enjoy the memories And starting with security, of course security is always one of the most important things for next load users Because we care about privacy or as a business we care about compliance You can't really have either of those if you do not have security and keep your files encrypted So let's talk about that and encryption is one of the areas where we made a number of improvements that I want to go over Now there are three kinds of encryptions essentially that are relevant for next load First is the HTTPS the transport encryption. This is handled by the web server kind of below next load Second we have the server side encryption, which is supposed to keep your data securely encrypted while it is on storage And then third we have the end to end encryption or client sign encryption Which encrypts your files on the client before it is even sent to the server Now let's start with the server sign encryption. So we made four improvements here First there's primary storage on next load and external storage And it used to be that you can only encrypt external storage With end to end encryption if it was object storage And now we also enable the support for objects encrypted object storage for primary storage Then second group folders are now supported. So group folders will be entered and encrypted as or server side encrypted as well Third we optimized the encryption to use 33% less storage, which is quite a difference, of course I mean storage cost money And last but not least there have been a number of improvements for the OCC command to make it easier To manage the encryption on the server So let's talk about the other side the end to end encryption So there are three major improvements there. First of all performance We really improved the performance massively by reducing the number of database queries and improving the locking So that's when you're syncing a lot of files that are end to end encrypted on your mobile client or on your desktop It goes a lot faster than it used to and it puts less load on the server, which is of course also helpful Second we introduced a key management setting for users So of course the idea of end to end encryption is you remember the key that is used to encrypt your data because if you forget it Then you can't access your files anymore That's still the case but if you forgot it and Well, there's nothing you can do but you still want to encrypt at least your new files You can reset the key and again this loses your old data But you will then be able to use end to end encryption again again Don't lose your key, but if you do you can now reset it Last but not least we added a number of options for administrators They can now control which groups or individual people have access to the end to end encryption feature And they can also configure what clients have access to it So that's encryption improvement and exit hub three Let's talk a little bit about performance now performance Of course very important and we always work on making next out faster and more scalable And this release has a ton of improvements More than 33 in the core alone Obviously, I can't talk about all of those. That's just a bit more than well. We all have time for So i'm going to pick out a few um to talk about And the first of those is recent files just as an example. It's a small thing But of course you sometimes need to show recently changed files to the user And it used to be that next slide would then sort all your files and take the recent ones But if you have a few million files, well that can take a while And so an optimization was done where essentially the process has split in two First look at the files changed in the last 20 days And then you sort those and well sorting goes a lot quicker that way So it's a little thing But the difference just in this feature is a factor 20 Uh in terms of the time it takes which is of course a big improvement Now another Smallish but already more often used feature is searching. So when you search For files for tasks for nodes for Collectives for chat messages, etc in next loud The server of course well the client asks the server the server does a bunch of database queries to find the stuff And the team worked on reducing these queries by a factor 10 Um, which means you get your results quicker And the server is less loaded from the search Now again, these are two very specific scenarios. So what about things that happen all the time? So there's one operation that the server is busy with a pretty big chunk of the time It's called a prop find. I know it's very technical. You can forget about the name The point of it is this is what the clients use to kind of stay in contact with the server They ask for updates. They say is something changed in this folder These operations are really used a lot and we managed to shave off about 25 30 of the database queries for these operations And because it's a really big part of the worker server is doing this has a real impact on end users Now talking of end users, let's talk about something that's even more visible loading of apps So all these 33 changes they add up at least well in many areas The one place they're very noticeable when you upgrade your next cloud to next cloud hub three You will notice that applications load about 25 30 faster and when you're switching between the photos app and You know the contacts app the mail app talk, etc You're constantly loading these pages and this really I don't know I really appreciate it when we update our internal server because it's really noticeably snappier So that's a performance improvement. That's how you as a user will notice it Of course as an administrator that means you can have more users on the same server And all these users still have a good experience But there's a third party that benefits because there are hundreds of thousands of nexot servers on the internet And they're of course coming with a significant carbon footprint And if the servers have to do less work to get the same result for the users That also helps save a couple of trees, which I think is also a good thing Now there'll be many more changes in next cloud too much to mention For example, you can now search files by tag. There are improvements to the group folders The viewer app now works on public links and dozens more things But instead of talking about all the small things we have Anna here who's going to talk about big stuff Anna I'm here to tell you about the improvements that we've done to mail Mail is our integrated client where you can work with our your emails. So let's get right into it We have made some performance improvements And we have also made some design changes So we pulled all the beautiful designs that you've seen before into mail as well And we have added for example a quick menus action item here where you can reply favorite savior emails really quickly Then we have also added a new unread counter Which you can see here. It makes it super easy to see which emails you haven't read yet We have also added a preview for the subject of the email Then we have streamlined the account setup, which now is super easy to do just three fields first name email password easy done This is what it looks like close up And then we have a super cool feature which i've worked on and i'm super happy with Which is accepting decline for email invitations for calendar It integrates with your next cloud calendar as well. So the work you do is much faster Then you can view PDFs and other documents directly from mail without having to download them We have added image support for signatures So feel free to put anything you want there You have to enable the rich text option for mail to do so But nothing stands in the way of having a cat meme as a signature now. So feel free to do so The next feature we have is the out of office replies which works on the civ extension for imap You can set your date. You can set how often you want an email to be replied to You can let your colleagues know that you're not here and won't be reading their emails So feel free to use it try it out give it a shot We have also added support for duplicating calendar events now, which also saves you a ton of time And last next is the appointments feature if you don't know, we have a feature where you can set slots for meetings You can find this on your profile You can share your appointments via your profile or via link and this is what the new page looks like It's a bit more streamlined now and just has a shiny new look Last but not least we have an organizer feature in contacts which works on the manager property It will auto populate the art chart for you. This is what it looks like close up I think it's very very cool feature and thanks for the community for the contribution on this We also made a small video. So please enjoy Welcome to next lot mail 2.0 Next lot mail is the super easy to use powerful and integrated mail solution for next cloud In next lot mail 2.0 We made a lot of usability improvements and added powerful new features that make your life easier For example, you can now accept a calendar invitation directly from an email And you can view images pdfs and other files with the build in viewer In the settings you can now use rich text and add images to your signature Note that you of course first have to have the rich text option below enabled We also included an auto responder you can configure easily Last but not least setting up a new email account has become a ton easier Let me walk you through setting up a gmail account In an organization this setting can be automatically pre-configured As you can see next lot mail has become a lot easier to use. We hope you will enjoy the improvements I hope you'll give mail a shot and I'd like us and I'd like us to be us on stage. There we go Thank you, Anna. Yeah, let's talk about clients um As you know the next lot client offers right a rate here of range for clients uh desktop on Windows linux and mac mobile and android and is both for files and both also for talk Yeah, I will just now show you some of our cool new features for next out 25 and we'll start with the desktop client There we also improved lots of things most notably. I think it is in the notification area where you can now directly Apply to chat messages But there's also one thing especially for windows, which is very very visible Which is improving the virtual files area You might know that the virtual files system means that you do not have to download all files to keep them in sync But you only will download and sync those files that you need which costs saves you your pressures hard disk space And this is how it looks like in the old way So you have a bunch of photos, but you don't see which photos they actually are and now we have Implemented the way that they are will show the the we will see the thumbnails when they are available on the server So I think that's a really good improvement for the ux to browse all of your famous vacation video photos On android we have introduced a better gallery view similar to the photos 2.0 version on server We have also the tile view So it is not now cropped like the thumbnails, but it's really showing the entire photo in a reduced way And it is grouped by month so you can easily scroll through the History to go to the latest vacation for example And on the right side you see the option menu so you can limit the media View to only photos only videos or also to only specific media folders So for example you are latest family meet up where you want to show us to somebody else On ios we did this sorry this again next another android slide. Yeah, we also changed the ui for Android with a new material design 3 which is Yeah a very new modern System and we are using in the primary color still for this not the Personal color, but it also comes with a better dark nights support On ios we also changed quite a lot on you can see it on the left side We have a new files view with the toolbar and also unified search So if you search for something you see not only the files, but you also The text occurrence in the no nodes in deck cards in maybe upcoming events So that's really easy to use in the middle You'll see the new photo details view also with the locking files to support So if you want to edit this manually on the device you can lock the file first and then down Added without distraction And on the right you see our new build in pdf viewer Yeah, and overall we also changed quite a lot on the ui So you see on the left a new sharing a view in the middle Have you over hold our activity and also did some kind of small improvements on the gallery view On next our talk we introduced a search in the mobile app The search works across the conversation title and within the messages and when you click on it You will jump directly to the corresponding conversation right at the point So you don't have to manually scroll through the conversation list And now for something else you are likely know that this is our dashboard which was introduced with next So 20 showing you a recent information and other relevant informations like unread or important emails But with this release we will now bring this from the ui from the web to your Mobile devices so you can just directly add them To your home screen on ios and android as you can see here now And yeah, I think that's a really cool thing because you do not have to Open up your web browser to stay in touch with your next start with the recent changes As you can see this is on the mobile with barely fitting only one Widget but you can also use it on a tablet making a real true productivity monster For example on the left we have recent starters. We have upcoming cards We have a cool shortcut view for taking a recording voice messages going directly to the file listing All by all while you're chatting on the right side with the overlay next our talk app So I think this is really making a great progress and enhancing your productivity on the tablets And as a small reminder what you have since quite a while you can of course use split by split view So chatting on the right side while working collaboratively on the left side with next cloud files app both on android and ios It's possible So I hope that these improvements will enhance your productivity at home on the on the go and yeah Then I would ask the measure for the next improvements on stage uh, right, so I'm going to talk about more improvements for talk so As you know talk is our integrated communication platform where you can you know message people Like talk to people video call the works. We also support emojis message replies background blurring and so much more so For this release we focused a lot on digital well-being. So as Jan mentioned before we're in front of our screens a lot All the time and we're bombarded with notifications and messages all the time And that might really like you know impact our health or well-being. So for this release We've tried to help you manage that a little bit better Um, like for example, this feature which is silent calls. So as you may know when you call someone Their phone rings and when you call when you start a call in a big group conversation Everyone's phone rings and sometimes you may not want that so with this nifty little feature You can start a call in a group chat or one-on-one without really notifying the other person But of course if you do want to notify them you can always send send in a little call notification For each participant and that will ring their phone Along the same lines you can also send a message without notification So you can just slip someone a little note and they can check it in their own time and that's right next to the send button over there Also, you may know that next one allows you to set your working hours So that colleagues know when to schedule their meetings and they're not scheduling meetings at like 12 am or something like that And you can also set your status on next cloud And we've also had a automatically setting do not disturb outside of your working hours So that you're not getting notifications when you're chilling with your cat at home To also protect your privacy. We have expiring messages now So you can set your the message expiration time in the conversation settings for example one day And every time you send a message in the conversation, it's automatically going to disappear after one day Um, another really cool thing are widgets. So widgets are these little cool cards that show up whenever you share something in a conversation It can be a deck card like over here. It can also be a github issue YouTube link anything you want and it looks really nicely Right below the message over here And to improve collaboration We can also now create documents or any new thing actually from right within the chat So if you want meeting notes two clicks, that's all it takes You don't have to create we have open your files and create a new file and then share it over here You can just create one from right within the chat and of course we also support templates as well So you can do anything you want super quickly Another really really cool feature is polls So how often had you had to exchange like 50 messages to discuss like one meeting time or something like that? So now we have polls and all you have to do is like, you know Set the question some options and then you're done five minutes. Boom. You know when you're gonna finally have your meeting And obviously we also support anonymous responses So you're not going to know who's going to vote it until you close the poll in the end and only the final results Are going to be short as you can see With this release there are also a lot of improvements to control who can do what in a conversation For example in a webinar if you don't want people to spam the conversation with a lot of messages you can set exactly that and Some specific permissions for the moderators or anything like that from the participants or from the conversation settings as well And you can these are all the different options that are available for each participant Along the same lines if you're an administrator You can also control who can start new conversations or start video calls from your admin settings For example, if you're a teacher and you'd want only the faculty to be able to you know Create group conversations or something like that. This is where you find that And obviously as always we have a lot more performance improvements So for really huge installations You can now have calls with thousands of participants seamlessly because we have clustering now in our high performance back end And also another improvement is to improve phone dial-in without having to share a pin with every single Participant it's just one pin that you can share to everyone and let's see all of this in action with a little video Next load talk is our integrated chat and video conferencing application Making it easy to stay in touch with your colleagues organize webinars or have meetings Talk introduces improvements to make it nicer and easier to use. For example links get rendered as nice previews using widgets This works on a variety of links including content from within next load We also added the ability to run a simple poll You can add multiple answers and if you set it to private Participants can only see the results once the poll is closed and they cannot see who voted what Another improvement is that you can start working on documents with everybody right from within talk We all have busy lives ruled by notifications from our mobile devices Talk now allows you to post a message that does not turn into a notification for everybody in the room This is also available for calls avoiding distractions and helping you and your team members to focus word counts But the opposite is also there When you want to make sure your call is not missed, then you can re-ring participants You can combine these features start the call silently But then only ring the device for the few who you'd like to notify Another improvement is that we added message expiration. Your message will disappear after a set period We also allowed moderators to control who can post messages and likes This is of course also available on a per participant basis This allows you for a webinar to close the chat for messages until a certain point in time when you would like to start a discussion Or enable or disable chat for individual participants Let us know what you think of the new talk So that was talk we really enjoyed working on the new features and we really hope you enjoy using them So next let's have Julius onto the stage Thanks a lot Yeah, I I'm here to talk to you a bit about like what we worked on in text and collectives During the announcement of next hot hub three So let's start off with collectives collectives are integrated and easy to use knowledge management database and wiki It's perfect for organizing The collaborative documentation that you may have in your organization or Meeting notes or manuals that you may have around need to work on in the team So let's see what's new there in the new release. So first of all, we started improving the sidebar with the page list in it It's now now More condensed so you can list more pages in there get a better overview of the structure of your collective But further than that, we also added a custom page ordering so you can by dragging and dropping around the pages You can sort them you can put them into sub directories And that makes it a lot of a lot easier to structure your whole Knowledge space And in addition to that as you can see on the left, there's also page emojis coming So For each page you can set a dedicated emoji, which makes it a lot easier to find as a user then Then the next features are more about working collaboratively. So first of all, we started adding mentions So if you have Meeting notes and want to make action items want to mention a user there Then you can easily do that by putting the name into the collective page And then the users will also receive a notification That they get aware of that Furthermore, we also improved the embedding of files Until right now it was possible to embed images into the collective page But now it's also possible with other Other file types like documents The next thing we worked on is Also improving your browsing experience and the collective page It is the table of contents view that you get for each page You can either show or hide it with the button in the headings menu And as you can see it adds a headline for each of the headings that you have on your document Which makes it a lot easier to navigate around and find the thing on the page that you're looking for more quickly Then in case there's the Yeah, the word you're looking for is not on the page It might be somewhere else in the collective and for that we added full text search So every page in the collectives is now indexed And you can use the unified search in the top right corner as you're used to just to get to the content you're looking for and As you may know texts or a powerful rich text editor that is using markdown files is Kind of the the baseline for collectives So all of the improvements that I showed you earlier will also become available in in the text app So you can use mentions there. You also get the table of contents view the file embeddings But that's not all We also worked on an improved print view So in case you need to still print out a paper if you like reading on that or need to hand it to german biocracy maybe Then you get this nicely Nicely rendered view as you have it in the web as well And you could also use that for exporting to PDFs, for example, which might be a more common use case than printing Um And there has also been some more work in the background done by the community in regards of handling markdown so we worked on preserving the Syntax of external editors More nicely now and we also added support for front matter like a more advanced markdown syntax And Yeah, I mean misha showed you the nice link previous that we have in talk now And of course we also added that to text so all of the widgets that we have there for deck cards for files youtube videos Will also be supported in text, of course And yeah, of course we made a small screencast to walk you through the features and yeah, hope you enjoyed it Next cloud includes an excellent knowledge base app that helps you share manuals and documentation within your organization or team With this release many improvements were made For example, you can now reorder pages and assign emojis to them You can now also insert various files into a document, not just images Another improvement is that you can now mention colleagues These features also work in text the distraction free next slot editor for notes and thoughts If you have a long document, you can see an outline to find what you're looking for Of course if the content you seek is in another document You can use the universal search in next slot which now searches also in the content of our knowledge base We hope you will enjoy using the new and improved collectives All right with all these improvements. We of course hope that uh Like the connective knowledge in the organization will become even more accessible And I would like to hand over to Daphne for the next section Hello everyone How do we enable you to use next cloud seamlessly with other software? How do we open up next cloud for integrations? And how can you create apps for next cloud? After the next four minutes and roughly 28 seconds You will know how next cloud is planning to massively increase its number of use cases As you might know six years ago next cloud was only a file sync and share solution Just like dropbox is still only today But of course no one only wants to store files. You also want to do something with them, right? So that's why we moved into collaboration software So this came with softwares like office or group where and we bundled them all together into hub And that next cloud we realized that the open source strategy is a uniquely strategic position to Open up next cloud to more functionality and external ecosystem So this is why today we are taking the next step. We want to envision software to radically open up So how can we do that? We have two ways to do so at next cloud In the one hand, we will integrate next cloud with other softwares you may use in parallel On the other hand, we want to improve our ecosystem So everyone in this room and on the live stream would be able to develop their own apps for functionality you need yourself Now let's start with the integrations So what could such an integration look like? Well, it could be to bring next cloud into the software of the external software And this is what we did in the last months for Zymbra. No for WebEx And not Zymbra. That's later WebEx imagine you are having a video call And in the sidebar, you can see your next cloud files You can create new files and you can also edit them And this is great if you want to make meeting minutes or if you want to create a report together But an integration could also take place in both softwares and this is what we did for Zymbra Now I'm allowed to talk about Zymbra and Zymbra is a neat integration because in next cloud You can see and search your Zymbra events your Zymbra emails and your Zymbra contacts And in next in Zymbra itself you can create talk meetings for next cloud Another interesting example is our open project integration Open project is an open source project management tool And we developed for next cloud that you can see your projects in the dashboard You can search your projects in next cloud search And also in files there is a sidebar where you can connect your documents to an open project project And the document relations between These documents in next cloud and your open project projects. These relations are then visible in the open project UI And then another example, we have nuitech stage and this integration brings the whiteboard technology Of nuitech into next cloud And lastly we improved our existing integrations with Microsoft One Drive and Google Drive So for all of you who are still using Google or Microsoft and you obviously want to change to next cloud You can now import your data with just a few clicks Now let's talk about how we can create an ecosystem where everybody can contribute apps The next cloud developer program comes with a dedicated website on nextcloud.com slash developer So are you wondering how to use our APIs or how to create your own dashboard widget Or how to upload your app to the app store You can find all the information you are looking for on this website But we are not stopping there. We want to improve this further. So what is going to be the next step With the next step in the upcoming months We are planning to release a series of tutorials that will take you all the way from the beginning to how to set up your development environment To the next steps to develop several different types of apps And two of those tutorials are already live The first one is how to set up a development environment not only for mac but also for ubuntu We have a tutorial available And the second tutorial is how to develop a simple files plugin And we will present these tutorials to you later today during the workshop how to develop your first app And you can also find them on nextcloud.com slash developer So Do you miss functionality in nextcloud and are you interested in building it then follow the workshop or go to the website Now let's welcome frank back on the stage for the next two big improvements Great. What do you think so far? It's not bad, right? Lot of good lot of good stuff in in all areas. I'm really happy about this release But there are two more things coming. I have the pleasure to introduce them to you now The first is office let's talk a little bit about the office situation because Obviously a key part of a collaboration platform like nextcloud is that you should be able to Edit your office documents Like text documents or spreadsheets presentations diagrams everything you want and as you know We have a integration with all kinds of different solutions And they're all there and great and we like them But what we wanted to have is have one which is like especially good and especially well integrated And this is why a few months ago we created nextcloud office Nextcloud office is something we do in collaboration with our friends from colapra and libra office And we are working together with them To build this very nicely integrated solution, which is really Superfast and and yeah integrated nice to use all of that happens upstream. So this is not a fork The next is not a fork of something else, but this is something we really invest in so we hired a dedicated team Over the last 12 months was just working on this kind of integration to make next lot office really really good This is really important because I mentioned earlier next cloud is really used by a lot of Governments and like big organizations to work with their documents And the question is of course for us always, okay, what is important? What is the focus here? What we should what we should improve and because of that we created an advisory board where we actually have representatives from Lots of different government organizations all over europe telling us what is important And we take this input and make like next lot office as absolutely as good as possible So what we did the last few months is We took the existing code and together with our colleagues from colapra We redid the complete user interface. So as you can see it really looks Very smooth and with nicer icons nicer fonts more chava script client signed rendering and so on And yeah, it also looks a bit similar to the solutions defined somewhere else to make it just Yeah, easy for everybody to use It's also improved the performance a lot. It's the integration is there You can directly pick a file from next cloud files and add it to a To a word or excel document or whatever you want to do so it's very nicely integrated But today of course we want to take the next step and make it even better So the first thing we are introducing today are custom fonts Because next lot office already comes with a bunch of nice default fonts that everybody can use But there are some challenges to it The first is maybe in your organization You have some corporate funds on this special fund that you always want to use for all your letters for everything Now we have the option for the admin to just upload it and every user is able to use your custom font in all your documents The second thing is that for really the best Compatibility with microsoft the google products. You really want to have the same funds in your documents Otherwise the text might flow differently And there you can also upload your microsoft fonts or whatever you have in your documents to really have the best compatibility Yeah, and it's really nice. I mean you can just upload it delete it And this is needs to be done only once by the admin and it's really available for every user The next is this integration. We already heard about earlier that we really made next lot office available all the different places Where it makes sense Here we are as you heard earlier We're in a chat conversation Or we might be in a video call and in the middle of the conversation of the call We think okay, someone should write meeting notes Then you can just go to this menu and say like new text file for example on new spreadsheet or whatever and it has a new document opened And of course you can select the templates we have and these templates can be custom So everybody can have their own templates if like when i'm meeting notes, there should always be like that for example Or there can be preconfigured by the administrator for the whole organization Or if you're in a conversation and then you say okay, now we need to do some drawing some brainstorming Then of course there's also the The the new diagram feature where I can do collaborative drawings in the in the document and again You can start it directly from from this conversation then The next thing I want to show you is secure view So that's a feature that we have for a while, but it's greatly improved in this release So sometimes you have the challenge that you want to show someone a document But a person should only be allowed to view it But not to download it or to reshare it on just do nothing with it But just to view it again, that's a requirement We hear a lot with confidential information some organization have confidential confidential Information that should be possible to show Someone just a document without the option to get it and there we have this Option here allow download that you can enable or disable as you want and if you disable it The user just gets this view will see the document But as you can see on top there's no way to edit it So it's just a read-only view and this release we make it also possible for internal users because Not only with share links, but also inside your organization Someone maybe someone is just allowed to share to read the document, but nothing else So if you look a bit closer Then you see there's even a bit more here which are these watermarks here Because way one way where a document can leak is of course if someone makes screenshots of a secret document But here we have this option to add watermarks to it Which then will also be in the screenshot and this is something that can be enforced by the admin So the admin can say Every document that is tagged with confidential or something or everything a certain LDAP user group does or some other conditions always should have these watermarks you need to prevent Yeah, a leakage of confidential documents That's brings me to the last point which I personally find like the coolest and the most interesting one The number one feedback we always get when we discuss With organizations, what can we do in xCloud office to make it like as good as possible? The number one request is always we need to have 100 document compatibility Really every document needs to work like absolutely same as with I don't know the Microsoft office, for example It really needs to be absolutely everything And together with again with our friends from colabra We're improving this a lot with the fonts in this release and in a lot of other ways So we really going from 90 percent compatibility to 95 to 98 to 99 percent But we really want to have to 100 percent So 99 percent is not enough And sometimes there are really weird documents floating around with like embedded macro super complicated embedded databases A lot of crazy stuff is happening and it's possible in office documents, believe me And this is really something that is really hard to do 100 percent But we really want to have to 100 percent Okay And by the way, we are not the only ones who are struggling with that if you use the online version of Microsoft 365 They also don't support this stuff. If you use it in google docs also doesn't work But we really want to have a solution for that And because of that we introduce a new feature Where we have this nice Button here On top Which is local editing What you can do you can Press this button And then you get a dialogue which asks you do you really want to edit this document locally? And if you click yes, then what happens is That a document is automatically transferred to the client via our desktop client It's locked on the server so no one else can touch it in the meantime So you don't have any conflicts and it just opens with your local editor Which then has all the functionalities here for example LibreOffice that you can use and of course LibreOffice has a lot more features a mail merge and other crazy stuff They can do everything you want and when the your document closed when it's the when you close the document Our desktop client notices this automatically pushes the document back to the server And unlocks it and everything is as before and you can keep on working in the browser together with other people And of course this works not only with LibreOffice But if you really want to prefer to use like Microsoft Office as legacy product, maybe Then and it's just opens the native editor, right? It's just also then opens Microsoft Word And it is really compatible with everything because this is Microsoft Word And if it closes it it pushes it back to the server So I think this solution it really makes sure that we are 100 compatible with everything But that's not all we wanted to do a little bit more even because There are also other document types where we have at the moment Where it's a moment not possible to edit them directly in the browser just one example here is PSD file a photoshop file But it can be all kinds of other proprietary format But just take photoshop as an example and let's say I really want to edit this photoshop file in next cloud Then as you see here we have an again the option edit locally You click on it It locks the file as you can see it's now locked by me everybody's easy that I'm working on this file at the moment No one else can touch it. There will be no conflicts Then It pushes it to the client Photoshop opens in this example or any other document editor you prefer You do what you want and once you close it It's pushed back to the server and you see that it's updated and the log is removed So this makes it just super easy to work with all kinds of document whatever you would prefer What do you think? Okay, so let's talk about the last improvement we have and this is for me a special one Because this is a very very strategic thing that we are doing so I think intelligence in software is something that is really important. I think that technology should help us to Manage our life as good as possible to to remove mental load to automate boring things away from us to just Make our life better. That's the job of technology But of course technology should not take away any Like privacy from us or any control. We still want to know what's happening But it really should help us And this is why we investing a lot In intelligence in next cloud and there we have a bunch of examples How next cloud can really help us to do to be more productive and really take away mental load First example is recommended files. This is something that you probably already know This is the feature that on top of the files list You have this recommended files and then based on behavior and change and who is editing what It basically just recommends some files to you So you don't really have to look into all the subfolders if the system already knows what you want to do And recommend it to you and then you can access the file with one click So that's the first thing that's but again as I said it exists already But this is the direction we are going another example is to share recommendations Right if you want to share a file with someone you have here in the share dialogue Um, you have recommendations so before even typing a single character Where we have the autocomplete obviously it already suggested some names Because you might have shared the same kind of document with the same user in the past And it already knows that you might do that and again with just one click you can click on the on the on the person another thing is Mail is inbox as you know, I mean most of you at least I am getting a ton of emails and sometimes like really exhausting to sort them and Don't overlook something and this is why we introduced the priority inbox Which is the segment on top of your mail of your mail Yeah mail list where you get again with some intelligence with some machine learning The files that are the males that are probably most important for you. So this is then recommended to you immediately Next example is suspicious logins That's also a very fascinating feature in my opinion. And this is again a neural network. That's part of next cloud Which analyzes the login behavior? So it basically analyzes who logs in from where doing what And it trains it and then can detect if something unusual happens For example, if a certain user logs in in the middle of the night from an ip address from china Then this is maybe something wrong And this then can trigger all kinds of things like a warning or two factor authentication or some other things So this is something that is actually cool And this is another app that is actually recommended to install as part of next dot hub three But now let's look into the cool new things we are doing And the next thing is actually if you really paid attention to the slides before you probably might have known it Because in the in the next cloud photo section from fabrice We actually didn't mention one thing which is especially cool. That's part of next lot photos now Which is an object in faith recognition that we can do now So every photo you upload via in next lot photos again with the auto upload from your mobile or manually We do faith recognition again with some Machine learning component that is part of next cloud now where it detects the different people That are in your photos and if you click on a photo you can then see All photos of this person. This is super cool Another example is object recognition So the system can really detect all kinds of objects. You can detect that this is an aircraft That there's a basket here that this is a beach and so on and it automatically Texts then the files according to what it detects But this is actually very useful because first of all you can browse it like that You can say I show me all dogs or show me all coffee photos or something Um, but it also of course makes it possible to find it via the search because as you heard from yours earlier You can now search or that the unified search includes text now too So if you just go into the search and you type in dog, you see all the dog photos, but this is very cool. I think And this this machine learning component can do even more For example, if you manage your music collection in next cloud Then you can also detect automatically the music show What this song is and this is not using a database or something it really looks into the music and detects Well, this is chess or this is obviously rap or something else So again, this is something cool if you really prefer to have your music in in next cloud The last but not least I want to show you something. I think it's in the day-to-day life very useful Which is related resources So as you know that in next cloud we have all these different components We have these files We have calendar chat messages deck boards and so on and so on And sometimes if you really work together with a big team, it's hard to really understand Okay, where is what deck board which calendar is by whom and we also added some intelligence here that Here on the side you have related resources So this means that you in this folder here at a moment This is a project folder for some project. It automatically detects that there is other things There's a maybe a talk conversation Or there's a deck board or shared calendar or something Which is related because the same people have access to it the same people are working on it And it automatically recommends well related to these files is probably then this chat room And this is of course also available from all directions So in again, if you in this chat conversation next cloud talk It shows in the sidebar again all the related project management boards or Files or folders or whatever is related So this is something which I think is This is just the beginning We will invest in this kind of intelligence features a lot more for my visionary in the future Next you can really take away a lot of Boring things and a lot of thinking that we need to do just for doing our work And what we want to do and really use the the power of Yeah machine learning and all kinds of other intelligence to automate these kind of things So from my perspective, this is really the job of technology To make our life easier to take away mental load And really yeah make us more productive in the same time with less thinking But of course the key is that it's all happens Like on the machine as open source So all these features are all working locally. There's nothing he sent to any Machine learning cloud or some other server. This all happens on on your server on your machine If you follow the marketing from I don't know amazon or google or microsoft You might think that machine learning is only possible with their clouds And that's of course bullshit. That's really false false marketing This all of that what we can do Runs locally. It can run on a Raspberry Pi if you want We know data need to leak anywhere Yeah, so this is the the strategic direction we want to you want to take here So this wraps up next loud hub three Which I think is really the biggest step forward that we did so far It really rounds off a lot of edges innovates in a lot of areas And I'm really happy that we are able to be really innovative in a lot of areas a lot better than what proprietary solutions can do And this is really really happy about that There's today as the release candidate available The final will be released in two weeks But you can already test all of that use this already now If you're an app developer if you already have an app for next cloud You can use the opportunity also maybe during the conference to Test everything to make sure that's compatible with the new version And again the final will be out in in two weeks So with all of that, um, I'm really happy that Next slide is a tool that is really useful for so many different kinds of people and scenarios One is home, of course. I mean we have 100,000 Servers who just not even users usually don't know but hundreds of thousands of servers on the internet Lots of home users would just run it to keep their own data and the communication and the control For education as I showed earlier, it's very useful. There are tons of schools and universities who use next cloud Like government organizations again in germany digitalization is a big topic, but please do it right That's a that's a big thing Service providers if you really want to run your own like Microsoft google competitor Just take next load put on your infrastructure and you have it Or if you're just a company in the organization who want to do remote work Maybe you know with covet you have more people doing home office work You want to have a nice collaboration tool? Maybe you want to work towards a paperless office Again, there's something where next lot can help So There's another last thing I want to talk about which is how to install it and how to get it So since the very very beginning of it It was always the goal to make installation as possible as easy as possible for everybody And there's a lot of software out there where I really need to it's quite complicated But there's always the focus to make it like crazy easy to to install it The core of of next lot is still easy just put it on a web server and it works But now it is we have so many components that you also need to set up and configure Collabra online for next lot office for example, or maybe you want to have a radius for caching Maybe you have a good database Or maybe you want to have a full text search component Maybe you want to use our high performance back in for talk or for files for added functionality and speed and it really gets a bit more complicated than that And because of that we created next lot all in one Which is a Docker container image Then you can just download Run wherever docker runs and everything is preconfigured everything is already there You don't need to need to do anything. It's just It just works with nice defaults And yeah everything is there And that's already the things built in that are important for that For example updating the components obviously Updating needs to happen. So you can really update the different Components here with a user interface don't need a command line at all That's also next lot backup built in. So if you want to backup the instance Or restore it that's also built in obviously that's something you really want if you want to run it like Productively so this is really like super nice To really set up in just a few minutes by everybody because again our goal is to enable everybody to Run their own instance to decentralize the internet and give you more privacy and security But again, maybe running a Docker container is Even that is like too complicated Then we want to make it even easier And because of that we work with a bunch of cloud and service providers Where this is all on their website and we can really deploy it with one click And then you have your own instance running So this is something we also do Which brings me to the end of the presentation. I want to thank all of you for coming Of course, this is just the beginning of the conference. We really have a lot of interesting talks keynotes workshops coming up I think it's really good. We really really really good. I have a tie a good time. My god. We really would have a good time Let's change the world together really happy that we are back together in person and Thanks a lot for coming But I think we still have a little bit of time So if you want we can still do a bit of a q&a a bit of a discussion feedback from everybody questions And for that I want to ask every speaker to come to the stage so that we can Do this together You have the first question after two seconds. So it's so I'm the person with the microphone. Just raise your hands. I come to you give you the microphone And I will try to come to you give me a second. So I'm here. I'm coming over as soon as possible Let me wait Until all of my colleagues are there All right, Jeroen Hi, great stuff. I'm really enthusiastic about it One question So you can add it locally great. You lock it on the server. Okay, that's nice But sometimes clients crash. I won't mention certain os providers But you know what I mean And you have a locked file on your server and the client has forgotten all about it What do you do then? Yes So the file lock is normally only 30 minutes or you can go on the web and manually unlock it again So it is never like a locked for eternity. So you have always Second chance or you're just using mobile device and unlock this same file Hi Next cloud office looks great. Which future do you foresee for the only office? Module Okay, everybody gives me the microphone. I don't know why So as I said earlier, we support Different office solutions At the moment we support for actually We support only office we colabra, which is now becomes next lot office We actually support microsoft office online also as a plug-in and we support Hancome office from south korea exactly And they all have their different pros and cons And everything is supported. You can choose what you want We decided that we want to have one nice default. This is like next lot office now But if you want to use only office, it's also supported Sorry frank this again comes back to you The microphone, but I I got kind of I woke up when you started talking about the the face recognition Is that stuff that it's really exciting is that stuff that is already In progress? Or like where is it in terms of development and working? Okay, if you download the rc today, that's already included. It's already included. Okay. Cool. Cool. Yeah. Wow Everything everything we show today is done and working. We are not a big fan of pre-announcements I mean this time we pre-announce two weeks, okay, but the rc is done And yeah, that's all working Hi Yeah, I've got a bit of a broader question because I'm Using x dot mostly for for working with human rights organizations in in some of some developing countries and some Really non-democratic countries including like Russia And so we always have the concern. Can we actually Manage our can we actually ensure the safety of our deployment? So I wonder whether this is also a coming priority whether kind of intrusion detection and prevention And ensuring this safety Of of next generation is also something you're going to focus on I mean The problem is really that i'm not an IT professional We don't have an IT department which does all those things So I just wonder whether this this is also something on your screen whether Whether next could also be more usable to to to to organizations which are vulnerable Yeah, thank you for your question. That's really a good point. And so There's kind of a double answer to that question. So first of all, of course There are a lot of layers that next out builds on I already mentioned in my my section of the talk I talked about the HTTPS Which is essentially handled in the layers in the next slide So what we do is we have a number of checks and warnings that you know If you have a badly set up system next out will warn you about it as far as it can detect this And of course in next out itself We do a lot of things that there's two facts authentication, for example, which you should of course absolutely use There are a couple of ways of doing it that include Yeah, making it a little easier for the users like using a notification That you can use your phone to approve the login rather than having to enter a code And you can as administrator you can enforce this We have our suspicious login detection, which can be quite helpful It uses a neural network to train on The login data of a user and when it sees like an uncommon pattern, for example, the user always logs in You know, I mean this ideal for a nine to five job So it might be a bit harder if you travel a lot But if you often log in at a similar time from the same place and suddenly there's a login in the middle of the night From you know a different continent there will be notification to you But also the administrator will get an notification So there is a bit of monitoring and and of course you have encryption features and other features But at the same time, I don't want to say I do want to say if you're you know, not an experienced admin and you're worried about security and privacy I really really recommend to try to get somebody on board or get help from somebody who really has experience with this because there's Tons of stuff that next out even if we wanted to could not do intrusion detection and other features and so I don't know security is always as safe as the weakest link as they say Um, obviously the user there is often a weak link. Um, and there's a lot of training you need to do to users And there also it means you need to know what needs to be done So it's really important to try to get some external expertise to help you with this because otherwise it's Yeah, no matter how much the actual does it just risky business I hope that answers the question Okay team. I got a question from a live stream Small question. It's about the photos app. And the question is does it also support mp4 videos? So like the videos would basically show up in there The for the preview depends a bit on the server setup because Yeah, that is up to the administrator to configure video preview generation basically But in general that would be supported For displaying them in the like when you click them It depends if the browser supports the embedded codec inside of the video file basically So I hope that answers it I have a small question. I see there is the release of this next cloud hub 3 and also next cloud 25 And would you mind to dig a bit in the relationship between them and the difference Yeah, that's a good one. Um, thanks for asking that So this is the bit maybe we should explain the history here a little bit Obviously in the beginning there were only like the normal version numbers 10 11 12 13 and we reached 25 by now We also introduced next cloud hub as a concept which is this bundle of all these applications So next lot originally was only the files part But next lot hub is like the bundle of talk and calendar and office and everything together This is why we introduced next lot hub number We really want to Move more to this hub versioning like we have like hub 3 and the next release will be hub 4 and hub 5 hub 6 again for two reasons one is For us as also as Daphne explained for this is the future from us like this collaboration suite with all these components This is where we want to go and this is why we want to stick with hub not only the files part Which is the pure next cloud and another reason is um, maybe that's a bit weird, but Yeah 25 26 27 is just gets a little bit high Um, so we start to count this 3 now next hot hub 3 is then the current release the next lot The next one will be hub 4 and so on So again moving to the hub concept first and second is yeah having more reasonable version numbers basically Okay, team has to be clear inside it is called 25 and at some point will be called 678 or something But that's just internal that's the internal thing which no user should care about Right team. I have another question from the live from the live stream Specific one what machine learning component for face recognition is used That's a very specific one. Do we have somebody on the stage who can answer that? Julius can guess something Yeah, like I don't recall the exact Uh name of the library, but it's basically like a node.js library that is quite common for uh machine learning and then there are like pre-chained models Uh for like the object recognition and the the face recognition um, and then there is like for grouping, uh The yeah faces together. There's like some clustering involved Um, but yeah that like of course it's all uh free software It's in in the repository of the recognition app a recognized app. Sorry So yeah, feel free to check that out and have a look at that I don't know if Marcel is here already or if he's gonna come he's sick. Sorry. Yeah, otherwise. Yeah, you can ask Marcel Claire online. He worked on that Yeah, you can look at the uh recognize app From Marcel. I think that's what it is, right? Uh I had two questions. So first question is with the addition of related resources Does that mean that the existing projects functionality has been deprecated? Uh, I'll answer that. Uh, yes, uh because uh when like while uh using it or watching people use it Like we saw that it was much too complicated. Yeah, you need to do uh all of that You need to configure everything of that yourself. Yeah, we always sort of wanted to make it more automatic And so since it's so very similar, uh, we decided we need to replace it because I'm having two things for essentially the same thing It's a bit complicated. So, um, well, of course we we can probably improve on the on the on the detection and everything and and yeah We're gonna improve on that. Um The the we think it's already much better than the existing thing which is by default you don't have any Thing related uh there, uh, which now is fixed uh by that you that you have something there without needing to do stuff manually Okay, one other question which is on end-to-end encryption And I understand that there's no timeline for the development of that app But my question is if you encrypt with it Is there any way to decrypt within the client side from the terminal from anything to recover those files without the server app so So the server app of end-to-end encryption is basically just like a file drop It's just storing the the the encrypted file Within our normal next out storage and next to it. That's what the internet encryption app is doing They're just storing the metadata, which is also, uh, like 95 98 percentage encrypted So the server just gives to the client the metadata and the um encrypted payload And the encryption is done on this client side So it's either on ios android or windows um desktop clients So, um, yeah, the actual work is done on client side. So Yeah, the server is never involved and um, of course the server has the the Encryption keys, but they are also again encrypted. So and the server is yeah always like We assume that this is hacked and uh, well done by malicious admins. So They will never trust the server and all do locally on their clients I think the question is that you were looking for a command line tool to do it, correct? Well, so the client decrypts right as long as it has the key Um, if you lose the key then all bets are lost. There's basically no other way to recover Um in theory a command line client could be written that is not the desktop client and does it But that doesn't exist in the moment So you just yeah, your best bet is to use a desktop client next question so, um next cloud has A few use cases one is a small setup for A few users that can trust each other one is for a company where everyone can sort of Trust each other because they're bound by policy um And i'm currently managing a next cloud instance for a huge community based organization with a low entry barrier and no trust in in compliance And I noticed that it's very um Challenging to get next cloud to avoid information leakage between users Do you plan on improving it like for example? What is shared by default in the profile or if you create a An event in the calendar You share email addresses of all attendees and so on and that's not very transparent to especially non-technical users So with this kind of security and privacy of course always the question what the attack vector is And there is also a third not there's always a third amount of trust that you have to Give the administrator of the service you use So we're trying to reduce it as possible. We just talked about the end-to-end encryption Where the admin can has no way to see the files not even the file names nothing what you're working on And and then there are some additional configuration settings That's probably what you mentioned that that are recommended to do for example. You should disable the auto completion Because with the auto completion you could see which other people are on the same server right and There's some other things with profiles and other things to make sure that you don't really see other people that are there but And we can get better there, but I just want to point out that there's a natural limit What we can do because What an admin of the server can always do can you can always lock From which ip address which user comes at what time for example this kind of metadata That can always be locked by the by the admin So a scenario where a user can use next cloud and the admin can has no way to abuse anything That's not really solvable We're trying to make it as good as possible again with end-to-end encryption and with a lot of config settings to Yeah to shut to build like walls between the users and the user and the admin too But and we will get better there because we have this scenario um We have a big service probably several big service providers with millions of users They have exactly that challenge that you also have But there are some natural limits so Yeah, the admin of an excellent server can always see a little bit what's going on Unfortunately just because they can see the network connections and stuff like that I think it was very much about the users being able to see things from each other, right? Yes, frank mentioned for big service providers. We have this challenge So there are some yeah the things he mentioned like disabling auto complete in the share settings Are a couple of things and there are some other parts of next cloud that will Notice when these settings are set in a certain way and then well do the smart thing But I think another thing to say aside from just technical limitations It's also kind of a conceptual thing that next cloud is just very much designed to facilitate sharing and collaboration and so turning that off again is kind of Yeah, that that's naturally conflicting sometimes and like the defaults will facilitate sharing because that's Yeah, kind of the idea So at some point if you really need a strong separation then you will need to do separate servers and things like that kind of tricks Yeah, that's a but that's a good idea by the way You can have a set up where every user has its own server Why not? I mean with something like kubernetes you can no problem with handling like a million containers It would be possible And they will still be able to share if they want to via the federation features So it's not they're completely disconnected because next that service can always talk to each other Um, I don't know. It's it's just an idea because it's a fair bit of work, of course and management But there are solutions. It just depends on on exactly what you need. So Any more questions Yeah, uh, ahoy. Let's talk about the intelligence feature once more Is it actually each neural network? Is it configurable and switched off or even partially switched off for example talking about data frugality if I do not want tags to be created And will there be or are there already core features which heavily rely on the intelligence feature? um, so in um Yeah, the main AI stuff is a suspicious login detection I think that's really running a neural network on the login data to well predict If it might be a bad person trying to log in and the second one. I think is the one used Which is an app. Yes, you can switch it off if you don't want that And then the other main part where a neural network is being trained is the the phase detection, etc Which is also an app that can be turned on and off I'm I don't think you can turn it off per user though I think it is an admin system-wide setting And of course you can also remove the app if you want to be a hundred percent sure nothing You know goes there, but it stays in all cases of course on the server I think most of the other features at the moment rely on various Statistics which well are in the database anyway Um, so yeah, there's there's a little to turn off there I have another live stream question. So um The AI features like face recognition. They do not send any photos big tech servers How is that possible and will that really work even on a nas server? Yeah, this was my point earlier. Yes, it works. It really works Yeah, no, that's like a total total myth that only big tech can do machine learning Not true Can happen on your Raspberry Pi all right, Kate How does the local Editing know on which client it needs to open the file because there could be various scenarios where you don't really You are not able to distinguish on the connection between the desktop client and the browser If it's on the same machine or a different machine on the same network or could even be virtualization where you have multiple VMs and it doesn't know on which VM it opened the it should open it's actually kind of As the way it works like you're in the browser and in that browser you say edit locally Then it will well stop whatever editing is happening lock the file and simply call the The browser integration of like run a local application And it calls the next up client running on that system and then that will open the file Okay. Yeah, I think I understand. Oh, thanks. Yeah, exactly. There's no Yeah, there's no confusion there Next allow me another small question from the live stream. I think this is for Jan and Amisha. So is this design Available is the design already available? Um, yeah, it is more certainly available like most of the things that we showed are already up and running So, um, if you have the latest version, you will be able to see the design on pretty much all of your apps I think um, they do use the view component. So, um, and I mean on files It's still available, but you definitely can't see it in the latest version. We're running it on our instance Although that's still rc, right? But it's well pretty decent. So I would say Give it a try rather than your test system Maybe and give us feedback so we can make sure that the final final in the couple of weeks is perfect Uh, and if you're a developer who is here or online as well, uh, please Yeah, talk to us. Uh, if you if you run into any issues or if you need to help Updating to the new design. Yeah, we're all here. Uh, front-enders as designers Yeah, let's let's make it look nice and and proper All right And a question from live stream. What's the importance of the office advisory board? For next cloud, what do you intend to achieve with that board? Yeah, maybe, um I don't maybe it's obvious for everybody else, but for me, it's not always obvious which one what we should focus on um So office is crazy complicated as some of you might know if you just go through the menu It has like a million features like I'm all offices leper office microsoft office everything And the real question is what is what is important for everybody? um And this is just where we want to have like feedback from uh real users and as I said earlier the focus here is a little bit that The most challenging users for this kind of online office from at least my point of view are really this like Public public administrations who are really lacking behind with digitalization. That's something that's very common in Germany Maybe in other countries too, whether people are really working with like super whatever 20 year old outdated word macros this is really crazy and um For most consumers, this is a non-issue because everybody's using some kind of word online editor or whatever something just a markdown I don't know something simple But there are organizations like this like public administrations. We really have like crazy use cases You you wouldn't believe if you just like go to your uh to your authorities and your register your dog or something I'm sure the process involves some kind of pdf creation rescanning it Calling visual basic scripts whatever weird stuff right that this is really that's the reality And this is why we pick this group as organizations would tell us what they need what do you really need To yeah to have to really replace Microsoft obviously as good as possible And there we get this all this feedback This is where this feedback coming from that we really want to have the the real funds not open source replacement funds But the real funds that we really need to be able to run the the macros this embedded ola databases whatever stuff And this is where we get the input from and Yeah, maybe it's not obvious for everybody But for us it's just very helpful to just get the feedback what we should do Okay, I have a question about the windows client As an administrator I have a problem with users changing passwords On the active directory And then the client sees that the password is not right and then Ask the user to reauthorize again Why doesn't client you try The logged in username and password when it Authorizes to the server So I know such a similar problem on eldab when they are searching changing the Password on the external eldab server then each of every app token Which is stored on the next slot server which is used for by the clients needs to be re-encrypted with a new password And this can only be done on the server side. So after changing a password on the active directory I think it's enough to lock in once via the online system And then the app dialogue is updated and then the clients will work without any problems So I think that must be should be the problem and the solution I think that at the moment When the password is changed there is client starts the browser for the client to To enter the password again Yeah, then it should work But yeah, maybe it is a specific scenario with this active directory and we can look into it later. Yeah, okay and just one more question when I Change the installations Is there an easy way to port the user data? I mean, I have 200 users How should I change how should I move their data to the new server So it depends a bit what you want to achieve by that I mean the thing is that in next cloud what you basically want to migrate is the data directory the database And the config file that's in the config directory These three pieces are basically the things that contain the changeable data And maybe the apps that you want to use and if you just copy this over then you have migrated your instance I mean, I don't know if this answers it depends a bit what you want to achieve actually to be honest But these are the three things you need to back up and also move if you want to move to a different machine for example But we can talk about it later in detail if you want all right Team I have one last question I save that for last because it's kind of a broad question. It came from the live stream I'm going to mention the name because perhaps you can reach out again. It's from amon reich He asked personal health data is one of the most sensitive data and doctor's specialist Nurses need to share data like results receipts Act rates, etc It would be nice if someone has experience and like to share a bit of a broad question, but Somebody is able to say something about that Well, yeah, we actually have something for it or actually two apps for it One is called health simply and one is called EHR electronic health records Um, I don't know if actually any of the developers of these apps are here But they're they're on our app store. They're on github. Um, and yeah, um, if you if you want to try them out Give them a try. I once uploaded like an x-ray. I had a broken bone Worked well. I could view my broken bone. So That kind of stuff you can do in next cloud also Excellent and we invite amon to come of course And I want to ask for that. So if you're wondering Why they're whole well why hospitals aren't using next cloud to some are actually We will soon publish a case study of that and on Tuesday at the enterprise day. There's actually a customer of us Hospital from the Netherlands who will Yeah, I'll present the case study essentially of how they use next cloud to keep the Yeah, private data of their students Patients safe excellent So anybody some last minute questions Yes, that's always the case Change of usernames, uh, I have A few times a year that People marry they change their name and and I don't have a solution Because it's also their login name. So how should I proceed should I Create a new user transfer the data or what is what is the recommended practice? Yeah, maybe we move really in the technical discussion here a bit, but I can answer that because it's also common common question So people have to stop marrying Yeah, this is this famous saying it's a Very famous misconception in computer science that Names never change which is like Wrong Obviously, but yeah Yeah, no, there is it's it's actually interesting. So, um The username Cannot be changed because it is used in as a reference all over the place in the file system in log files In the in the database everywhere, but what you can do is you can hide it from the user Because there's a display name Right, which can be changed to the new name and there are different ways to authenticate where you don't need a username Like we assemble or log in via email. For example, you can also log in via email, which is working You can just tell the user forget your username log in via your new email That you can use or use some other authentication method where there is no username and it's then it's not visible anywhere It's completely hidden. You can just treat it as an internal id and the user will Okay, and it gets complicated Let's talk about it offline, but the strategy is not to change it but to hide it from the user. That's the strategy Yeah, sure It's not a question, but I just wanted to say the improvements to accessibility and design in 25 in the release clients I just wanted to say that it's I think it's a really laudable goal and um in testing it I I can't imagine how much Time and effort it's taken across So many of the apps so um as someone who's tested it. I just want to say thank you and I think it's Massive step forward that will only get better with time and it's it's really great. So that's that's really nice to hear
