2. Sovereign Cloud Stack Summit May 14, 2024 in Berlin

The SCS community has grown strongly in the past year, many new production environments based on SCS have been created and on March 20 we were able to publish the 6th release as planned.

On May 14, 2024, SCS users from various fields of application, people interested in SCS and decision-makers from politics and business met in Berlin for the second time to report on their experiences and exchange views on why they have opted for digitally sovereign cloud technology with SCS.

Here is a short excerpt from the program

• Ernst Stöckl-Pukall, Head of the Department for Digitalization and Industry 4.0 at the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection, will open the event with a welcome address.
• Ann Cathrin Riedel, Managing Director of NExT e.V. and member of the Digital Advisory Board of the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport, will give a keynote speech highlighting the importance of open and digitally sovereign infrastructures for freedom and democracy.
• Some of our largest partners and cloud service providers will talk about why they have chosen SCS as their technology - and what role implementation and certification have played in this. We are looking forward to impulses from Christian Schmitz, Director Open Source at Plusserver GmbH, and Jens Plogsties, CTO of Syseleven GmbH, among others.
• We will be presenting the largest SCS application project to date and one of the largest European cloud projects ever. More than 1.000.000 named user, more than 3.000 Namespaces, over 100 Cluster running on 3 Data Centers.
• Viola Heeger from Tagesspiegel will discuss with Ulrich Ahle, CEO of Gaia-X, and Jörg Kremer, Head of Federal IT Architecture Management at FITKO, the importance of standards and standardized technology for the federability of digitization projects in public administration and the private sector in a European context.
• Dirk Schrödter, Minister for Digitization and Head of the State Chancellery of Schleswig-Holstein, will explain why “Open Source First” applies in the northernmost federal state and why SCS is the basis for cloud applications, such as the Call for Concepts for the state program Open Innovations (DigitalHub.SH).
• The product owners of SCS will present and explain various technical aspects and components of SCS.
• Finally, the Chairman of the OSB Alliance and CEO of Univention GmbH, Peter Ganten, will give an outlook on the future of SCS.

We are particularly pleased that our Summit was combined with the kick-off of the OpenInfra Day Roadshow. OpenInfra Day Germany 2024 took place on May 15, 2024 at the same venue as our Summit. It was a unique opportunity to meet SCS, our partners and our community on the first day, and dive into the world of open source community work on the second day.

Please note, that the program was held in German. The full agenda can be viewed in the German version of this page.
