Hackathon Officially Over
The NextGov Hackathon
ABOUT THE NEXTGOV HACKATHON
Nextcloud is currently used by many public services in Europe (universities, governments, cities, etc.) as an alternative to Big Tech solutions, keeping their documents and communication safe in Europe. The European Commission’s Open Source Programme Office is organising a hackathon to enhance Nextcloud with additional features so that more public administrations can include such solutions as part of their digitalisation journey.
Help us build and protect Europe’s digital sovereignty!

Challenges
Improvements to Deck
The deck is a basic Kanban-style project management tool, similar to Trello. We propose the following improvements:
- Introduce dependencies
- Gantt charts integration
- Trello import
Improvements to Nextcloud Talk
Nextcloud Talk is an audio/video chat app for Nextcloud similar to MS Teams or a combination of Slack and Zoom. We propose the following improvements:
- Introduce message reactions
- Introduce reactions in video calls
One-on-one appointments in Calendar
Nextcloud Calendar is an app that adds full calendaring functionality to Nextcloud. It recently introduced an ‘appointments’ feature. It lets you define a number of slots where others can book a meeting with you, but it is really for booking recurring things, like sales demo calls.
Improvements in the Photos app
Nextcloud Photos is a photo viewer. There are loads of good ideas in github for improvements!
Or come up with your own idea!
We also have a lot of good first issues that should be relatively easy to tackle listed on github in different apps of Nextcloud!
