Be in complete control of your data. We will show you how to get you quickly set up and running your own secure and free file sync and share system with complete document editing and collaboration software. No vendor lock-in, no terms-of-service changes that relocate your data to a jurisdiction you didn't choose, no opaque policy around what happens to your files. All open source, all compliant and all yours.

Open source projects get forked. They get acquired. They lose contributors, fracture communities, and sometimes quietly stop being open in a meaningful sense. This talk uses ownCloud's history as an honest case study in what goes wrong and what it actually takes to fix it. We'll cover the real lessons from operating a major project without proper open governance, what prompted a course correction, and the concrete steps taken since, in trying to rebuild contributor trust without hiding behind community-washing language.
