Video recording: Presentation by Peer Heinlein at the Chemnitz Linux Days 2025
What do you do when proprietary software disappears and you are suddenly forced to change? How can the community act in a self-determined way at such times? And what does this mean in practice?
The lecture by Peer Heinlein, CEO and founder of OpenCloud, at the Chemnitzer Linux-Tage 2025 is now available as a → recording (german)!
Titled "A Community has to do, what a Community has to do!", Peer Heinlein shows in his presentation how open source is not only technologically but also strategically relevant - especially when commercial providers discontinue or sell products.
Instead of being dependent on external decisions, open source offers the opportunity to take responsibility yourself: Further develop, fork, reorganise. What sounds obvious in theory is often a real feat of strength in practice.
This presentation tells of a very recent case: of software that was worth standing up for. About a team that was determined to continue working freely. And about what happens when theory meets practice - and what headwinds you encounter if you just do it.
