DAASI International at the Chemnitz Linux Days 2025 – A weekend with the open source community
On 22 and 23 March 2025, DAASI International sponsored a stand at the Chemnitz Linux Days, one of the most important events for the open source community in German-speaking countries. As a company with many years of experience in open source technologies, it was an excellent opportunity for us to exchange ideas with open source developers, users, and enthusiasts.
At our stand, the focus was primarily on topics such as Identity & Access Management (IAM), federated authentication and single sign-on (SSO) in open source environments. Many visitors were very interested in our product didmos and its integration with eduMFA. However, some of them did not even have the topic of IAM on their radar yet, so we were able to raise awareness of the importance of IAM in medium-sized and larger organisations.
It was also clear from the presentations and discussions that open source will play a central role in the digital future. A session on passkeys was particularly exciting, in which it became clear how important it is to protect passkeys in order to realise security gains.
‘I really like the CLT because nerds and business people can meet at eye level here. I am grateful to the local organisers that they have been hosting this event, which is so important for the open source community, continuously since 1999. As we had some really exciting discussions, we will certainly continue to attend and support the CLT in the future,’ summarised Peter Gietz after the event.
Why open source is playing a key role in shaping the future of IT
The Chemnitz Linux Days 2025 have once again shown that the open source community not only drives technological innovation, but also develops sustainable and transparent solutions. Linux and open source have long been more than just alternatives to proprietary software, they set standards in terms of security, flexibility, and data protection.
We take with us many valuable ideas from the talks and discussions and look forward to continuing to work closely with the community in the future.
