International Women’s Day is a moment to recognize the women shaping open source.

Beyond code, their work spans governance, product direction, migration engineering, policy, documentation, and community leadership.

Open source grows through sustained contribution.

Where have you seen meaningful progress in inclusion within your projects?

🇦🇹 XWiki at the @nextcloud@mastodon.xyz Enterprise Day Vienna, March 24

At 13:45, Clément Aubin joins Birthe Lindenthal (OpenProject) to discuss:

“Beyond Jira and Confluence: European digital sovereignty & control.”

This is about governance, compliance, and building collaboration stacks that remain portable and self-hostable.

If you’re in Vienna, join the conversation.

“Open source is a way to take back control over our software and infrastructure.”
— Ludovic Dubost, XWiki

Recorded in 2025, this podcast conversation feels even more relevant in 2026.

Vendor dependency is no longer abstract.

But, Europe is moving. Projects like openDesk, already adopted by institutions such as the ICC, show that open-source collaboration stacks are becoming a strategic choice.

In real organizations, collaboration works best when knowledge and projects stay connected.

XWiki provides structured, durable knowledge.
@openproject@fosstodon.org structures the work as it happens.
Together, they form a coherent, open-source alternative to #Confluence and #Jira that teams can actually own and evolve over time.

“Cloud or on-prem?” is usually the wrong first question.

The harder, right one is: Can this platform follow our identity, security, and compliance rules without bending them?

XWiki was built to run in different hosting environments while keeping identity and governance consistent. That makes it easier to evolve infrastructure choices without putting knowledge access or control at risk.

This guide breaks down the practical options:

In our upcoming #webinar, we look at why documentation often breaks down over time.

Teams don’t struggle because information is missing.
They struggle because they can’t tell what’s still true.

Processes change. Decisions evolve. Teams reorganize.
But the #documentation doesn’t reflect it.

Documentation needs structure, ownership, and governance so change stays visible and knowledge remains reliable.

There’s a moment when the question shifts from “what’s the next tool?” to “what will still work in 10 or 20 years.”

That happened with the wiki for the Historical Dictionary of Switzerland. It reached its limits: hard to maintain, hard to evolve, and risky to touch.

So, they chose XWiki to build a modern, open-source knowledge platform, with control over structure, data models, and long-term evolution.

In migrations, the biggest risk is often not technical work, but knowledge that cannot be separated from the platform hosting it.

Designing knowledge as infrastructure helps avoid this. Clear structure, access rules, and accountability make platform changes possible without disrupting operations.

This is our approach behind Confluence to XWiki migrations: continuity first, not just data export.

February often brings a bit more attention to FOSS, and FOSDEM is one of those moments where the community comes together.

For us, being there is a reminder of why XWiki is built in the open. Real usage, honest feedback, and long-term collaboration shape the project far more than any roadmap alone.

We’ve submitted our contribution to the European Commission’s Call for Evidence on European Open Digital Ecosystems. 🇪🇺

Based on more than 20 years of building open-source software in Europe, we see open source as a key lever for digital sovereignty and long-term resilience.
Momentum is real, but funding models, procurement practices, and adoption effort remain major barriers.

Devrooms, lightning talks, hallway conversations, and more waffles than necessary

@fosdem@fosstodon.org is intense, but it’s also one of the few moments where open source feels very tangible.

The full house at our community meetup this year was a great sign of how this ecosystem keeps growing. Thanks to everyone who joined, and to @nextcloud@mastodon.xyz @openproject@fosstodon.org and @passbolt@mastodon.social

More than a year after its 1.0 launch, openDesk shows what digital sovereignty looks like in practice. 🇩🇪

Built by ZenDiS, openDesk is a self-hostable digital workplace assembled from mature open-source tools: OpenXchange, @openproject@fosstodon.org @nextcloud@mastodon.xyz XWiki, Matrix, @jitsimeetinstances, @matrix@mastodon.matrix.org and @CollaboraOffice@mastodon.social

XWiki’s role in the stack is structured knowledge management, so institutional memory remain governed, searchable, and transferable over time.

⏳ Just one day until @fosdem@fosstodon.org !

The XWiki team is heading to Brussels from all across Europe. We’re excited to meet the open-source community, share ideas, and explore how XWiki supports flexible, open collaboration.

See you this weekend!

#FOSDEM2026 #OpenSource #XWiki #fosdem #oss #foss #news #community

We’re at the @univention@univention.social Summit with our partners from @openproject@fosstodon.org.

@caubin@mastodon.xyz and Anna Mohn showed how organizations can build a sovereign alternative to Confluence and Jira using XWiki and OpenProject.

If you’re in Bremen today or tomorrow, visit our joint stand in the exhibition area. Pauline Bessoles and Clément Aubin are happy to discuss real setups and integrations.

Building modular JavaScript applications is easy to start and hard to keep clean over time.

Cristal is a project we built at XWiki to tackle that problem. In this talk from Open Source Experience, @mleduc@framapiaf.org shares concrete feedback from designing and evolving Cristal: architectural choices, trade-offs, what worked, and what didn’t.
