X-Net as an expert on open source at the Volkshilfe Upper Austria regional conference at the Tabakfabrik Linz
On 21 October 2025, we had the privilege of giving a guest lecture at the conference on coexistence, education and work organised by Volkshilfe Upper Austria. Nikolaus Dürk, the managing director of X-Net, was invited as an expert to speak on the highly topical subject of
Use of open source in companies
We explained the basics and historical development of open source, presented the tools for a wide variety of work areas, and informed participants about the added value and sustainability of open source for society as a whole. In Europe, we can achieve sovereignty over our private and business data and independence only by using open source-based tools..
The Volkshilfe employees were very interested and a lively discussion resulted. We would like to express our sincere thanks for the invitation to the conference.
