00:00:00.100 --> 00:00:01.520
Frank, it's great to have you back.

00:00:01.520 --> 00:00:03.420
I know last year I interviewed you and

00:00:03.420 --> 00:00:04.750
there are some different announcements.

00:00:04.750 --> 00:00:06.560
So what's kind of the main thing this year

00:00:06.560 --> 00:00:07.650
that you guys are focusing

00:00:07.650 --> 00:00:08.690
on with Nextcloud?

00:00:08.690 --> 00:00:10.640
Most interesting initially was probably

00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:12.290
what we're doing with EuroOffice.

00:00:12.290 --> 00:00:14.600
So we're doing a full new Office suite

00:00:14.600 --> 00:00:16.500
that we do in parallel with Collabora.

00:00:16.500 --> 00:00:18.420
Collabora obviously is still available,

00:00:18.420 --> 00:00:20.130
but we have the choice of two very good

00:00:20.130 --> 00:00:22.320
Office suites in the future already today.

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:23.720
And what we're doing with the latest

00:00:23.720 --> 00:00:25.770
releases that we bring it to the desktop.

00:00:25.770 --> 00:00:27.340
So that's a full desktop client for Mac,

00:00:27.340 --> 00:00:29.800
Windows and Linux, so I can
open all your Word, Excel,

00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:31.640
PowerPoint files, completely open source,

00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:33.140
completely free for everybody.

00:00:33.500 --> 00:00:35.290
And the cool thing is you can just open

00:00:35.290 --> 00:00:36.790
them locally, but if you want,

00:00:36.790 --> 00:00:38.640
you can connect it to your Nextcloud.

00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:39.980
And then you even have collaborative

00:00:39.980 --> 00:00:41.680
editing in the desktop application

00:00:41.680 --> 00:00:43.320
and even have AI integration.

00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:44.620
So this is one of the cool

00:00:44.620 --> 00:00:46.420
things at the moment. Yeah, very cool.

00:00:46.420 --> 00:00:47.540
And what you mentioned, because I'm still

00:00:47.540 --> 00:00:49.350
trying to wrap my mind around the branding

00:00:49.350 --> 00:00:50.810
around EuroOffice, but you mentioned

00:00:50.810 --> 00:00:52.520
during your presentation that it's

00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:55.700
not just for Europeans necessarily.

00:00:55.700 --> 00:00:57.500
And it's a bit of a misleading thing

00:00:57.500 --> 00:01:00.040
because EuroOffice is like the code name

00:01:00.040 --> 00:01:02.090
of this project, which is done by several

00:01:02.090 --> 00:01:04.120
companies together, not only us, but there

00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:05.670
are just a number of, I think there are 10

00:01:05.670 --> 00:01:07.820
companies working together on those things

00:01:07.820 --> 00:01:09.790
and the code name is EuroOffice.

00:01:09.790 --> 00:01:11.640
But the idea is then once we integrate

00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:12.880
into Nextcloud, we just call it

00:01:12.880 --> 00:01:14.340
Nextcloud Office and the other

00:01:14.340 --> 00:01:16.040
companies call it whatever Office.

00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:17.060
So it's kind of like the underlying

00:01:17.060 --> 00:01:18.020
technology, everyone

00:01:18.020 --> 00:01:19.060
can take it and then...

00:01:19.060 --> 00:01:19.890
That's the code name

00:01:19.890 --> 00:01:21.740
and it's fully open source and it has

00:01:21.740 --> 00:01:23.490
nothing really to do with Europe.

00:01:23.490 --> 00:01:25.180
Okay. It's just a code name, yeah.

00:01:25.180 --> 00:01:26.600
Long term, is the plan

00:01:26.600 --> 00:01:28.760
for what's currently EuroOffice

00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:31.140
to only be Nextcloud Office?

00:01:31.140 --> 00:01:33.320
Exactly. And that's it. Got it. Okay.

00:01:33.320 --> 00:01:34.880
And how's that been kind of, what's

00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:35.920
the reception been for that?

00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:37.740
Do some people still
like some of the quirks?

00:01:37.740 --> 00:01:39.700
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So the thing is actually the plan

00:01:39.700 --> 00:01:41.640
was that we basically, with this release,

00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:43.080
we just completely renamed it

00:01:43.080 --> 00:01:44.840
to Nextcloud Office and the EuroOffice

00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:46.040
name is completely gone.

00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:47.280
But then we got some feedback

00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:48.960
that some people actually like it.

00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:49.950
But then we also had the feedback

00:01:49.950 --> 00:01:52.460
that somebody was from outside Europe,

00:01:52.460 --> 00:01:53.360
they're confused.

00:01:53.360 --> 00:01:55.020
Like, what do you mean?

00:01:55.020 --> 00:01:56.440
Is this only for Europeans?

00:01:56.440 --> 00:01:59.470
So it's-- we will delay this cleanup

00:01:59.470 --> 00:02:00.620
until the next release.

00:02:00.620 --> 00:02:02.410
Next release, EuroOffice name

00:02:02.410 --> 00:02:03.900
will be gone, and it's just fully

00:02:03.900 --> 00:02:05.060
integrated into Nextcloud.

00:02:05.060 --> 00:02:05.940
Got it. Very cool.

00:02:05.940 --> 00:02:07.660
Are there any other big updates this year,

00:02:07.660 --> 00:02:09.170
especially given it's the 10th anniversary

00:02:09.170 --> 00:02:10.220
that you wanted to highlight?

00:02:10.220 --> 00:02:11.330
Oh, there's so many things.

00:02:11.330 --> 00:02:12.220
I mean, the software,

00:02:12.220 --> 00:02:13.620
of course, got a lot better.

00:02:13.620 --> 00:02:14.930
There's Nextcloud Governance

00:02:14.930 --> 00:02:15.780
as a new feature.

00:02:15.780 --> 00:02:17.100
There's this new Teams feature

00:02:17.100 --> 00:02:18.300
for user-defined groups,

00:02:18.300 --> 00:02:19.480
which is super cool.

00:02:19.480 --> 00:02:22.440
I think the biggest news is probably

00:02:22.440 --> 00:02:24.580
our initiative to strengthen our ecosystem

00:02:24.580 --> 00:02:26.280
and the ISV program.

00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:28.080
So for us, it's the whole theme here

00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:29.380
of this event, by the way.

00:02:29.380 --> 00:02:30.720
It is not just like one

00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:32.360
collaboration software.

00:02:32.600 --> 00:02:34.200
It's actually a platform for lots

00:02:34.200 --> 00:02:36.000
and lots of components on top of it.

00:02:36.320 --> 00:02:38.060
And this growing is growing very fast.

00:02:38.060 --> 00:02:39.500
So at the moment, we already have over 800

00:02:39.500 --> 00:02:41.300
of these applications sitting on top

00:02:41.300 --> 00:02:43.250
of Nextcloud doing all kinds of things,

00:02:43.250 --> 00:02:45.180
like from CRM systems

00:02:45.180 --> 00:02:47.740
to like finance management,

00:02:47.740 --> 00:02:50.940
to movie database, to all kinds

00:02:50.940 --> 00:02:52.790
of applications that you can imagine.

00:02:52.880 --> 00:02:54.880
So we really see Nextcloud more and more

00:02:54.880 --> 00:02:57.319
as a platform with applications on top.

00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:59.680
Got it. Well,
thank you so much. Of course.

00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:00.870
It's been really fun at the conference,

00:03:00.870 --> 00:03:01.900
and you're always really
nice to talk to us.

00:03:01.900 --> 00:03:03.190
Thanks a lot. Thank you.
