The internet and the world wide web were originally designed as distributed and federated networks. In the last few years we've seen a trend to more centralized services from Google, Dropbox, Microsoft, Amazon and others.
The Nextcloud community is building an open source and fully federated and distributed network for data sharing and communication. Everyone can run an Nextcloud server at home or somewhere on the internet and collaborate and share with everyone else. With the help of Federation different Nextcloud servers can be connected to provide on big service.
This talk will cover the current problems with centralisation and strategies on how to fix this problem. It will also discuss the current and upcoming federation features of Nextcloud and how to become part of the community and how to scale to multi million users with the help of Nextcloud Global Scale.
