09-27, 09:30–10:00 (Europe/Berlin), Conference Room
The last two years were full of changes for the whole planet and for our society. Remote work, digital sovereignty, privacy rules and regulations and of course a strong need to reduce the environmental footprint of individuals and organizations.
Holger and Klaas will open the conference and give an outlook on the two days ahead.
Klaas has a long history in the Open Source environment and started to work with ownCloud in 2012 as one of the first employees. He has helped shape the face of ownCloud from the beginning, particularly the Desktop Client. His field of expertise in those days was file syncing. He was quickly promoted to be Team Lead for the Desktop Client, rising to Head of Engineering before leaving for SUSE, where he shaped development for corporate clients as Engineering Director Enterprise Cloud. After that he has lead the software development of laboratory equipment manufacturer Heidolph Instruments. In Nov 2020, he returned to ownCloud. As CTO, Klaas works with all teams to continue the growth course in business and innovation.
