I wasn’t on the owncloud wikipedia pages for a while. Just noticed that the english and german versions don’t even mention me and the full history anymore. But instead it’s full with wrong marketing BS. Funny how Wikipedia seems to work nowadays.

The Register quoted me. 'Microsofts unbundling of Teams is a good step in the right direction but 100 more steps are needed.' https://www.theregister.com/2023/04/25/microsoft_teams_office_bundling/

Big Tech is trying to monopolize all communication and collaboration tools on the planet. This would be terrible for our future. The Open Source community needs to prevent this.

Happy birthday Nextcloud! Today 7 years ago 12 people founded Nextcloud to create a complete Free and Open Source alternative to centralise proprietary cloud services and open core competitors. Together we achieved a lot more then what I dreamed of. Thanks to everyone!

2023 was a great year for Nextcloud. What areas of Nextcloud should we focus on in the next 1-3 years? Any wishes? Anything missing?

Die FAZ zitiert mich im aktuellen Artikel zu AWS. „Souveränität ist die Abwesenheit starker Abhängigkeiten von Dritten. Die Souveräne Cloud von AWS ist hier Etikettenschwindel“ https://www.faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/unternehmen/amazon-kuendigt-europaeische-cloud-an-19268173.html

Nextcloud takes a stand against the current right wing tendencies in Europe including the AFD in Germany. We are an open and inclusive community with employees in 22 countries. Nationalism conflicts with the Open Source values. https://nextcloud.com/blog/statement-nextcloud-stands-for-an-open-and-free-society/

Microsoft is finally unbundling Teams and Office. One of the demands of the Nextcloud antitrust complaint. What's still missing is unbundling Teams and OneDrive from Windows. https://techcrunch.com/2024/04/01/microsoft-to-unbundle-office-and-teams-globally-following-years-long-criticism/
