Still putting off that update? 👀

Outdated software can quickly become a security risk, especially since AI and automated scans have made it easier for attackers to identify and exploit vulnerabilities.

In our latest article, we explain why regular updates, supported versions and clear update processes are essential components of any IT security strategy.

⏳ Noch eine Woche bis zur !

Vom 13. bis 15. Oktober sind wir wieder in Berlin dabei und freuen uns auf drei Tage voller Austausch, neuer Impulse und guter Gespräche rund um Open Source, digitale Souveränität und moderne Verwaltung.

Ein besonderes Highlight für uns ist der Open Source Wettbewerb, da wir dieses Jahr selbst mit einem Projekt dabei sind. Auf die Preisverleihung freuen wir uns entsprechend sehr und drücken uns ganz frech auch ein kleines bisschen selbst die Daumen. Bei all den starken Projekten möchten wir allerdings wirklich nicht in der Haut der Jury stecken.

Vor allem freuen wir uns aber auf unsere Kunden, Partner und viele neue Gesichter vor Ort. 💛

📍 Halle 25 | Stand 525a
📅 13.–15. Oktober | Messe Berlin

Wer ist nächste Woche auch dabei?

Die digitale Verwaltung endet nicht beim Online-Formular. 🏛️

Entscheidend ist, was danach passiert: Wie werden Bürgeranfragen weitergeleitet? Wer ist zuständig? Und wie bleibt die Bearbeitung für alle Beteiligten transparent?

For universities, digital progress is often shaped as much by practical realities as by technological ambition. Infrastructure, budgets, internal expertise, adaptability and long-term maintainability all influence which solutions can actually work in practice.

We spoke with Rebecca Kangabe, Director of ICT Services at Uganda Christian University (UCU), about the realities of managing IT in higher education in Uganda, the role of open-source software, and why UCU chose Zammad for its Service Desk.

Meet the Man with a License to Crash the System 🛠️

"Bozo breaks it" has become something of a catchphrase at Zammad — and for good reason.

On our blog, Bozo shares a glimpse into his work as a support agent, what keeps him motivated, and why sometimes breaking things is exactly what it takes to make them better.

From Germany and Denmark to France and Spain—public administrations across Europe are taking concrete steps toward establishing a more sovereign digital infrastructure.

Different starting points, same direction: greater independence, better data security, and more control over critical systems.

In our latest article, we break down real-world case studies, migration strategies, and key takeaways from European pioneers. Read more: https://zammad.com/en/blog/open-source-in-the-public-sector-best-practices-from-germany-to-france

Localization is one of those product elements that shapes the entire user experience.

Thanks to our community contributor, Igor Costa, the Zammad user interface is now fully translated into Brazilian Portuguese. 🇧🇷

This kind of contribution often happens behind the scenes but makes a real difference for those who use the software daily.

Muito obrigado, Igor! 💛

🇩🇰 Zammad now speaks fluent Danish, largely thanks to the efforts of our community contributor Thomas Vibæk Meijer.

When he started, the Danish translation was only 43% complete, with just 1% approved. Thomas got to work translating string by string, and today he keeps it between 99% and 100% complete.

Due to his dedication we gave him reviewer rights. With this new role, he took on the task of approving the danish translations. He has already brought the approved translations up to 70%

For Thomas, this contribution is about more than just language. It is part of a broader mission:

“We chose to switch to Zammad SaaS because we want to slowly but steadily move away from US software and look for European alternatives.”

Open source software is built by people who care — individuals who dedicate their time, expertise and attention to detail to create more useful, accessible and independent tools.

And we are grateful to have an active community that helps make Zammad better, one contribution at a time. 💛
