[EN] Data on ice: the Arctic World Archive

English Edition: Open source is not only used in research/science. In this episode I want to shine a light on 2 open source applications: XWiki and CryptPad. You'll hear from Ludovic Dubos (CEO XWiki) and David Benqué (project lead, CryptPad). It's a great story about how you can make open source projects work - and last. Links:https://www.xwiki.org XWiki homepage https://try.xwiki.comhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8FN38yHaJA Ludovic Dubos at FOSDEM 2025https://cryptpad.org/ CryptPadhttps://blog.cryptpad.org/https://cryptpad.fr/ The flagship instance of CryptPadGet in touchThank you for listening!
