A look back to XWiki's 20 years anniversary

XWiki — Thu, 10 Oct 2024 15:17:47 +0000

This year, **XWiki **marked a major milestone—20 years of open-source innovation! We celebrated in style with our first-ever XWiki Summit, where our team, clients, and partners came together to reflect on our journey and shape the future.

🚢 We wrapped up with a stunning Seine River cruise, enjoying an evening of laughter and connection with our team, alumni, clients, and friends. It was the perfect way to honor how far we've come and look ahead to the future.

After the summit, we held our largest-ever XWiki Seminar, bringing together 57 team members in person (and 7 remotely) for a week of brainstorming, team-building, and fun! From hackathons to Fort Boyard-themed challenges to karaoke nights, it was an unforgettable mix of collaboration and celebration.
