Some of the most important #opensource projects right now as they're one of the few mature *fully* FOSS ones in their space:
Go follow them now. Check them out if you haven't. And donate to the latter two if you're using it.
@vwbusguy @nextcloud I'm currently donating 5$ a month to Nextcloud for their awesome software.
@B4tuhanY1lmaz @nextcloud How? I didn't think that was a thing for them?

@vwbusguy @B4tuhanY1lmaz @nextcloud Yes, there are a few rather strange decisions from Nextcloud. One of those is not taking donations despite being a FOSS community project. See also here for a discussion on this topic: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/16870.
@frisch @B4tuhanY1lmaz @nextcloud It makes sense. It's a for profit. There's no donation for Fedora, either, besides your time and energy.
@vwbusguy @B4tuhanY1lmaz @nextcloud OK, got it. But still I think it's rather strange that there is *only* a for-profit and not also a Nextcloud nonprofit organization that better represents the non-business sector.
@frisch @B4tuhanY1lmaz @nextcloud Again, they follow the Red Hat and SUSE model. It's really not that novel or uncommon of an approach for a FOSS for profit. There's plenty of other examples - LINBIT, OpenProject, etc.
@vwbusguy @B4tuhanY1lmaz @nextcloud OK, then let me correct my statement and say it's not strange but I think I would try to do it differently, if I were them.
@frisch @B4tuhanY1lmaz @nextcloud Let me give you something to think about. There are plenty of projects that have gone open core or source available that got hard forks or clones run by some non-profit. Why do you think no one has done that with Nextcloud in all its history? Further, why do you think nextcloud has been able to do this for so long without soliciting donations?
@vwbusguy @frisch @B4tuhanY1lmaz @nextcloud
I am using NextCloud all in one docker bundle, I find the UI very slow in recent versions it take quite some time to load and navigating menus, is it just me or others experiencing the same issue?
