Thanks to Cap Digital, last week I had the chance to meet with Olivier Bringer from the Next Generation Internet initiative. I had the chance to be able to give feedback about our experience with NGI through the prize we got for CryptPad and through our first "cascade funding" grant with NLNet.

I realized, we did not publish these slides and videos from a talk last year telling the "XWiki story" and how we grew from 0 to 2 MEuros revenues without raising money from VCs. It talks about XWiki SAS (the company) and XWiki the Open Source software.
