The purpose of this session is to provide an overview of Nextcloud, the open source content collaboration platform being used by tens of millions of people in thousands of organizations across the globe, and use it as an example of how open source works and the variety of applications available as free open source software. Attendees will learn how to get a Nextcloud account, how to navigate and set up the app, how to use it for their purposes, and how it works with other open source apps and services. They will also learn about what open source software is and its strategic implications — how it saves money, increases flexibility, and enables innovation.
