Real-world case studies from clients such as HLS and SFR will highlight XWiki’s transformative impact across industries.
“Our mission has always been to create software that’s open, collaborative, and puts control in the hands of users,” says Ludovic Dubost. “Reaching this 20-year milestone isn’t just a reflection of what we’ve achieved, but a moment to engage with our community as we shape the next generation of open-source solutions.”
