XWiki SAS celebrates 20 years of open-source innovation with a summit and community party in Paris

Paris, France - September, 2024 - XWiki SAS, a pioneer in open-source software, is celebrating 20 years of innovation and community with a special event that blends a summit and a party. On September 19, 2024, clients, partners, employees, alumni, and open-source enthusiasts will gather aboard the Loceynius barge at Solférino port in Paris for a day of sharing knowledge, reflecting on the journey, and celebrating two decades of open-source success.

Since 2004, XWiki SAS has been a key advocate for open-source software, championing transparency, collaboration, and user control. For the past 20 years, XWiki has stayed true to these values, becoming a trusted provider of collaborative solutions that help organizations manage and share knowledge freely. At the heart of the company's mission is the belief that open-source software gives people the power to control their own data and tools.

The XWiki 20th Anniversary Summit will bring together the open-source community for interactive talks, product demos, and hands-on workshops. Guests will hear from Founder and CEO Ludovic Dubost and other leaders as they look back on XWiki's growth and share their vision for the future. The summit will feature the latest product innovations, explore collaborative projects like CryptPad and OpenDesk + Nextcloud, and highlight real-world stories from clients such as HLS and SFR.

"We've always believed in building software that's open, collaborative, and puts control in the hands of users," says Ludovic Dubost. "This celebration is not just about reflecting on the past 20 years, but about engaging our community to help shape the future. The summit is a reflection of our commitment to innovation, transparency, and the power of open collaboration."

The summit will also feature a keynote from Frank Karlitschek, CEO of Nextcloud, emphasizing the importance of partnerships in the open-source ecosystem. Throughout the day, attendees will have the chance to dive deeper into XWiki's latest features through expert-led workshops, contributing their ideas to shape XWiki's future product roadmap.

After a day of learning and sharing, the focus will shift to celebration. The evening will end with a lively party, honoring the people-employees, alumni, and supporters-who have been central to XWiki's journey. "This party is about celebrating not just our milestones, but the people and values that have guided us-resilience, transparency, and a shared belief in open collaboration," Dubost adds.

A central mission of XWiki has been its dedication to digital sovereignty. In a world where big tech companies hold immense control over users' data, XWiki has always prioritized giving people the tools to manage their own digital infrastructure. Its products, like CryptPad, highlight this commitment to privacy and user control.

As XWiki (https://xwiki.com/en/) steps into the future, the anniversary summit and party will reaffirm its dedication to building software that reflects the core values of openness, community, and user empowerment. "Open source is a long-term game," Dubost reflects. "We're proud of the path we've taken, and we're excited to continue building tools that give people the freedom and control they deserve."
