Why Open Source is the key for Privacy and Digital Sovereignty

Fighting for free video - technical tactics and war stories from the FOSS audio and video codec frontier

Månedens møte arrangeres i samarbeid med Norwegian Unix User Group (NUUG), som har møte med samme emne og foredragsholder

The security and the personal data on the internet are under attack by hackers and international espionage programs. The question who controls what data and application becomes more important every day. And governments care more and more about Digital Sovereignty and how this effects to future of countries.

The GDPR was suppose to give people more control over their data. But now that the European Court of Justice declared the US CloudAct incompatible with the GDPR the questions rises how data should be stored and processed in the future.

The Nextcloud community is build an open source and fully federated and distributed network for files and communication. Everyone can run an Nextcloud server at home or somewhere on the internet and collaborate and share with everyone else. Nextcloud can be used to provide file access, syncing, sharing, calendar, contacts, video calling, music and video streaming in a distributed way.

This talk will cover the current problems with surveillance and espionage and strategies on how to fix this problem. It will also discuss the current and upcoming federation features of Nextcloud and how to become part of the community.

Dette er noe du må få med deg på møte eller på videooverføring av foredragene.
