I've done my two presentations yesterday and today at FOSS North #fossnorth I really enjoyed doing the presentations and the crowd at FOSS North. Thanks for inviting me to talk about our journey in Open Source. For those that want to dive into our projects more in details, here are the slides 1/3

With more than 2,5 million pads open each month CryptPad is both growing in Europe and growing fast in the US where it contribute to protecting democracy. We believe Open Source is the best solution to rebuild our sovereignty. Let's go !

I'm participating today to the Euro Stack event "Rebuilding Europe's Sovereignty" in a full room. After this weeks Sovereignty Summit organized by the French state, this shows that the wind is changing directions and we finally in Europe are realizing the importance of Digital Autonomy.

If you share your key, your data gets a backdoor... In the cloud, it could be interesting to know what happens to disk encryption keys for such cases. www.forbes.com/sites/thomas...

The tech giant said providing encryption keys was a standard response to a court order. But companies like Apple and Meta set up their systems so such a privacy violation isn’t possible.

We were both surprised. I said "Yes I agree, you should run Linux, I do" ! This is how Open Source will spread ! Talk about it ! I regret not giving stickers !

As another passenger in front of me was collecting his computer from one of the security guards, the guard say "Are you running Linux, you should run Linux it's faster" (he was running Windows).

Actually CryptPad was created at XWiki, who has now 9 employees on it :) There are very little volunteers on CryptPad beyond those that use it and make it known through that. But maybe we need to fix that. As a CEO, I've always been refraining to ask for free work, but for CryptPad, I might.

Ludovic Dubost @ldubost.bsky.social · 21/06/2025
If people have suggestions on how we can fix that for CryptPad, I'm open for discussions.

Ludovic Dubost @ldubost.bsky.social · 21/06/2025
If there are volunteers to help, we'd like to give a push on this but we have no spare money for it. Our lead designer is also our project lead and time is lacking

Ludovic Dubost @ldubost.bsky.social · 21/06/2025
We started with the simple and ease of use goal, have been deriving into larger platform.. We want to do both.. We want to do desktop and mobile.. Funding matters..

Ludovic Dubost @ldubost.bsky.social · 21/06/2025
Probably better on mobile but only for basic docs. Life is easier will smaller goals and more money. It is for sure in our goals to change that.. Any help welcome.
