The post Nextcloud Hub 5 Testing 2 appeared first on Nextcloud.

Over a total of 20 weeks from spring to late summer 2022, readers of the individual insider portals were asked to vote for their favorite in each category. IT Awards got votes from over 70 000 readers this year and Nextcloud came out on top, left behind Dropbox, Microsoft and others, and was chosen by the largest community of IT professionals!

We’re very proud of this and we’d like to thank everyone who made this possible, that is, all of you! Especially all of you who voted, but also everyone else who helps spread the word or improve Nextcloud directly with code, documentation, or helping other users on our forums. Every bit makes a difference!

The Insiders Awards

The editors created a shortlist in each category with the most important companies in each of the last twelve months. The editorial shortlist included companies that had made a particularly positive impression in the recent past – whether through groundbreaking new technologies, outstanding products, and concepts, or forward-looking strategies.

With over 1.5 million monthly page impressions, many IT professionals in the German B2B world follow the Insiders portals. The yearly IT Awards are a highlight for the community, with strong competition. You can read a full overview of the winners in this article (in German).

The organizational chart the team created is a new feature of the Nextcloud Contacts App. Using just one open source library, you can have an entire organizational chart be created in seconds from your contacts list.

Starting with the head of the organization or company, a list of employees under different heads, managers, and teams can all be made into a visual dream.

The organizational chart is perfect for the HR manager or team of any organization or business, as it works swiftly and is a place that can keep track of all the changes in staffing occuring all the time. For other employees in the organization, it’s a great visual to understand the hierachy in the organization and to be able to play around with the different teams and their leaders.

Visually appealing, interactive, and versatile, this new organizational chart is a must have! No more manual work, it’s now all automatic and easy, thanks to our hackers.

Also available is a single pull request for the code from the Contacts app.

To hear it from the team lead herself, watch the demo video below!

This feature is available now in the Contacts app. The team already has an open GitHub for improvements.

Under the team lead Shieva Saavedra, Manuel Castro, Juan Manuel Tejonero Valdes, Alba Real Aragón, and Vassilis Kritharakis all received the 2nd prize at the NextGov Hackathon and were awarded €3,500 for their time, efforts, and talents in creating the new Contacts feature. We thank them all for their work and dedication at the event, and in improving Nextcloud which in turn will hope to encourage public administrations to switch to more secure, open source cloud solutions.

Stay tuned for features of the rest of the winners on #AppTuesday!

The post 2nd Prize Hackathon Winner Creates Organizational Chart Feature in Contacts appeared first on Nextcloud.

From April 25^th to May 10^th, Nextcloud and the European Commission’s DIGIT team joined forces in creating the NextGov Hackathon.

There were three main goals of our hackathon:

One, to add new features and improvements to Nextcloud Hub. We have a large team of developers working hard every day, however new ideas and talent from our community and beyond are much appreciated.

“As developers, it’s really nice to see other people working on Nextcloud who make new applications.”

Two, with new, additional enhancements and features of Nextcloud, we hope to attract public administrations and government entities to use our cloud solution. The more Nextcloud improves and develops, the more it will be seen, shared, and used by these important administrations who also share the values of data privacy.

Three, to bring people together from around the world in the name of coding and software development. As what are hackathons for but to bring likeminded people together to achieve a common goal. In the end, it’s about you!

We are pleased to have met these goals and to achieve overall success.

Prize Winners!

Between 60 participants from 33 different countries were phenomenal ideas, inspiration, and talent, as well as a lot of effort yielded. As announced in our live streamed video, we have 5 lucky winners who won prizes from €500 to €5,000.

Prize #1:

Our first prize winner (€5.000) was for a contributor from Germany, who created an extension to the maps application with loads of exciting features.

The collaborative map allows you to create, organize, and share a map which is ideal for collaborating on trip preparations.

For example, you can tag locations on your map for places you want to stop at like viewpoints, restaurants, and landmarks. These show up as picture icons directly on the map which makes it easier to visualize your trip. Then, you can immediately share the map with your family and friends and they can even comment in the space.

“We expect there will be a lot of demand for this. This feature is very helpful for both private and organizational use, and the developer did great work implementing it.”

– Jos Poortvliet, Nextcloud Co-founder and Director of Marketing

Stay tuned next #AppTuesday for a very special feature about the first prize!

Prize #2:

The second prize winner (€3.500), comprised of a group from Malaysia, Spain, and Greece, worked on an extension to the contacts app that brings a cool, new organizational chart feature.

Directly in your Nextcloud contacts, you can create a visual organizational chart fast and simply which is ideal for companies and organizations of all sizes to keep track of your always changing organization.

“This is a wonderful idea that will make even our own HR-team super happy. I can see how this is useful in pretty much any organization deploying Nextcloud.”

– Jos Poortvliet, Nextcloud Co-founder and Director of Marketing

Prize #3, 4, & 5:

Third prize (€2.500) focused on a SSO (single sign-on system), while fourth (€1.500) and fifth (€500) prizes were awarded to projects focusing on the Trello to Deck integration.

Nextcloud and the European Commission are pleased with the results, and a huge thank you goes out to all the contributors whether an individual or a team, the moderators from Nextcloud, the organizers of the event, and those cheering on from afar. We couldn’t have achieved so much without you!

Hope to see you same time, next year!
