Wieland Lindenthal
<p>Join me for a fast-paced tour of OpenProject’s most impactful updates over the past year—from powerful portfolio management enhancements to much requested service management features, such as internal work package notes.</p> <p>This session will also spotlight our long-term tech strategy to bring real-time text collaboration to every corner of the platform, enabling teams to co-create work packages, meeting notes, and other project management artifacts with ease. Discover how we’re leveraging and extending BlockNote, the rich-text editor already powering applications like openDesk’s Notes and Mijn Bureau’s Docs, to bridge the gap between quick te sketches and fully-fledged project plans. We’ll also invite developers to explore our BlockNote extensions, making it easier than ever to integrate work and task management into their own platforms.</p> <p>Further, I will give an outlook on our strategy to help project teams to migration from Jira Data Center and Confluence to OpenProject and XWiki respectively.</p> <p>Whether you’re a user, contributor, or developer, this talk will inspire you to reimagine collaboration in open-source project management.</p>

<p>2025 has been a crazy year for open source, self hosted collaboration. As in, everyone has woken up to the risks of having an entire economy depend on 3-4 big American tech firms. Well, we at Nextcloud have been working to solve that since we started in 2016 and the large roll-outs recently, of millions of users at various public sector organizations across Europe. And now suddenly everyone else starts talking about it?</p> <p>Well, we’re at FOSDEM, so all we care about is… features. ...

<p>“Privacy-invasive cloud services,” “isolated users” and “small, disconnected instances” are what comes to mind when we think of self-hosting. It gives users control, but it also isolates them, with each server becoming a separate island.</p> <p><a href="https://cloudillo.org/">Cloudillo</a> changes this. It is a self-hosted application platform that makes collaboration extensible, privacy-preserving, and organic — letting groups and organizations collaborate freely across ...

<p>Taiga is a Spanish open-source project management software that was created in 2014. After achieving success with over 20 million users, a rewrite is started in 2021 in order to modernise the application. However, this soon came to a halt: the original team is no longer able to continue the project. So, after 10 years of development and with many users eagerly awaiting this sequel, is this the end?</p> <p>Thanks to the magic of open source, the story continues. A French cooperative that was ...

<p>It is hard to sustainably support #OpenSource as government - after all, the public sector's subsidy programs tend to be short term focused, fragmented. They are sadly doing little to shift the billions now spent on proprietary US SaaS solutions towards sovereign open source, and have little staying power and permanence.</p> <p>I'd argue the public sector should work with existing communities that have managed a sustainable financial model, commit to deploy these &amp; shift real procurement ...
