Nextcloud community doing well - business, too.
-
I know many of you followed what happened with own/nextcloud. Last week I shared that our community is now, by far, the most active open source file sync and share project - that's something we're proud off. But long-term it is important the business side also works out.
We had secured three years of funding to get us started, but as of last week, we are profitable - that's right, took us only 6 months.
We're at 24 people now, making money - so you can imagine we have an aggressive growth strategy to execute ahead of us. We are looking to fulfill a LOT of different roles, from marketing and sales to various engineering positions like Qt, front- and back-end, Android, iOS and more. If you're interested in working with us crazy bunch - check out our jobs page
And just for you mangolassians - tomorrow, we'll publish our Nextcloud 11 RC. We really can use some testing as we're unable to find any more issues. You can win an exclusive Netcloud t-shirt if you find an upgrade bug (going from Nc10 to 11) so get ready! Keep an eye on our news page tomorrow.

@jospoortvliet Congrats on profitability.
I would help test the 10 to 11 path, but I still have yet to find the time to test the oc9 to nc9 path. I have 5 systems I need to do this on.
-
@JaredBusch let me hereby promise that if you find a bug going from oC 9 to Nc9 or Nc9 to Nc10 and we can find and fix the issue, you get a t-shirt!

Will there be a way to upgrade from the Nextcloud 11 RC to the official release? If so, I've got an install I can test on.

Congratulations @jospoortvliet. It is always good to see community oriented projects be profitable. I haven't yet found a way to implement NC here, but the day may come.

Absolutely, that will work, no problem. We upgraded our internal instance to the first beta, I'll move my private to RC too. Thanks!!!
Now I'm not sure if I should wish you good luck finding bugs (to earn a t-shirt) or avoiding one to avoid having to restore a database backup

Or E) restore snapshot because I'm lazy.

Offtopic: Are there any plans to integrate NextCloud with Outllok like Sharefile with Citrix does? I have 4 clients I proposed NextCloud to and 2 asked if NC has the feature to insert files to Outlook emails directly from contents in NC? Check out some of the screenshots via Google Images - http://bit.ly/2hhPuVO - never used it but it appears that business users do not even choose Dropbox and similar because of this feature.

The NextCloud client will sync files locally. So they'd just be attaching a local file. What's the need for a special piece of software to do it?

Because that isn't what he wants. He wants it to attach a link to the hosted file so that the files are not being passed around via email. Like what Office 365 does.

Ah, that makes more sense now.
I haven't tried that with NextCloud yet, maybe I'll give it a shot tonight.

That would need a plugin in outlook to talk to the nextcloud webdav for best functionality IMO.
Looking at the screenshots, that looks like what ShareFile did.
-
NextCloud can easily do it but not built into outlook.
Here is an example from my desktop with the ownCloud client.

Guys, on the outlook integration - we introduced integration with Outlook for Calendar and Contacts last week, and we actually have what @agarcia-wier asks for available for customers. It is not announced so don't make noise about it yet (I will probably announce this or next week, but possibly move it to next year as just before Christmas ain't a great time for announcements).
So if you need this, it is a typical enterprise setting thing - contact [email protected] and we'll get you going. Sadly, no, it isn't open source, it is developed by a partner and just like with the iOS app - maybe in the future
