The new year is here, and we’re excited to get started with a series of events where we can meet and connect with the open-source community. These gatherings aren’t just about showcasing XWiki and CryptPad—they’re about meaningful conversations, sharing ideas, and exploring how open source can drive innovation.

Whether you’re curious about digital sovereignty, want to dive deeper into collaboration tools, or simply have questions about what we do, we’d love to meet you. Here’s where you can find us in January and February:


Univention Summit

Date: January 23-24, 2025
Location: Bremen, Germany
Event link: Univention Summit

We’re kicking things off at the Univention Summit, where we are proud to be Silver Sponsors. This two-day event at the Congress Centrum Bremen is a hub for discussions on digital sovereignty and open source, featuring keynotes, panel discussions, and workshops led by industry experts. With around 40 exhibitors, it’s a great opportunity to discover innovative solutions and engage with professionals in the field.

The XWiki SAS team will be represented by Ludovic Dubost, XWiki SAS CEO, Clément Aubin, our Sales Director, and Jean-Sébastien Dennebouy, our Account Manager. They’ll be at the stand, ready to answer your questions about XWiki and CryptPad.

We’re teaming up with our friends from OpenProject in a shared booth to showcase how our tools complement each other as a powerful open-source alternative to Confluence and Jira. If you’re interested in migrating to open-source solutions or simply want to learn more, stop by our booth—we’d love to chat.

FOSDEM

Date: February 1-2, 2025
Location: Brussels, Belgium
Event link: FOSDEM

FOSDEM (Free and Open Source Software Developers' European Meeting) is one of the largest gatherings of open-source developers, enthusiasts, and communities from around the world. Hosted annually in Brussels, Belgium, it’s a weekend packed with collaboration, learning, and inspiration. Our team enjoyed every edition we’ve attended, and the 2025 one is shaping up to be just as exciting.

This year, as in the past five years, we’re proud to co-organize the Collaboration and Content Management Devroom at FOSDEM. This track continues to attract great interest, hosting a variety of engaging and thought-provoking talks. If you’re curious about the sessions, you can check out the full schedule here.

In addition to the devroom, XWikiers will be presenting in several other tracks:

If you’d like to meet the XWikiers attending this year, visit us at booth K1-B-3. We’ll be showcasing live demos and chatting about how XWiki and CryptPad can support your projects. 

We’re also thrilled to host our FOSDEM Meetup, organized in collaboration with Nextcloud and OpenProject. Join us for an evening of open-source discussions, light snacks, and drinks with members of our communities—and many other friends of open source. Here are the details:

Please register through this CryptPad form as early as possible. The space is limited, and we want the organization to run smoothly. Also, if by chance you'll not be joining anymore, let us know as soon as possible to open up the spot for someone on the waiting list. We can’t wait to see you there!

We’ll round out February at AlpOSS in Échirolles, an event that brings together key open-source software providers, users, and adopters.

Each presentation is limited to a tight 15-minute slot, a challenge we’re excited to take on!
