17. Achieving more together
• Respecting and building on open standards
• Maintaining an open development model
• Share: code, control, responsibility
What we do
• ownCloud Infinite Scale is based on REVA and CS3 APIs
• Contributions to upstream projects like TUS, OIDC, glauth, Go libraries
• Increased developer activity in shared repos like REVA
• New role at ownCloud: Collaboraiton Manager – improving cross-organizational collaboration

18. Next steps
• Align community standards: Code standards, PR & Review workflows,
technologies e.g. dependencies, CI
• Alignment on roadmaps and releases
• Become a more visible player in the open-source ecosystem
• Active participation: oCIS, cs3mesh4eosc
Our proposal
• Discuss community standards together
• oCIS early adopter group – Join us to roll out oCIS
• Meet to hack: Let’s plan a hackathon for the ecosystem
