In March 2025, we were represented as OpenCloud for the first time at the CS3 conference in Munich and presented OpenCloud with three talks at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU). The recordings of the English presentations are now available and offer valuable insights into the latest developments, technical innovations and strategic approaches to modern storage and sync & share solutions.
In his keynote, Peer Heinlein, CEO and founder of the Heinlein Group and OpenCloud, highlighted the resilience and adaptability of open source communities. While proprietary software often presents users with challenges such as expensive migrations or limited options, open source software offers the freedom to further develop the code at any time. The keynote uses a current practical example to show what happens when theory meets reality - and why the answer can sometimes only be: Let's fork!
Product Manager Tobias Baader gave a comprehensive introduction to OpenCloud with strategic insights into the platform, its core features and the roadmap for the future. Why OpenCloud is more than just file sync & share and how the solution combines digital sovereignty with open source innovation.
Dr Jörn Dreyer presented the revolutionary integration with the underlying storage system of OpenCloud. Learn how transparent access to POSIX file systems works and how the integration with the storage infrastructure works.
