How is this all financed?
This event is part of the NGI Forward project Generation Internet (NGI) initiative, launched by the European Commission in the autumn of 2016. It has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 825652 from 2019-2021. You can learn more about the initiative and our involvement in it at https://ngi.edgeryders.eu
Dunno, you would need to find threads where people already are discussing things relevant to your topic. Maybe @matthias or @felix.wolfsteller have some ideas about this
yayy, welcome back - how have you been? It’s so weird you pop up now, I was thinking about getting in touch with you about a different thing we have been prototyping in Tunisia
I’ve been playing with self hosting options for a couple of weeks now. I have a Nexcloud installed through Yunohost on a Virtualbox and it was working fine as a test.
But I am interested in the general conversation, as well as to learn more about Nextcloud capabilities, so I’ll be happy to join. Also because I still need to understand which way to go to install it to be honest, as every day I seem to discover yet another way to go about it (hello Juju and LXC), the options seem endless!
However I chose my parameters and degrees of freedom carefully and with high standards on open source, avoiding locking in, keeping to open standards, integrity, security, domain neutral, community activity and culture, maturity, creativity, etc. I landed in this technology stack and I get more and more convinced that was the right way to go.
This can quickly become a technical discussion which I love to have with you if you like in another thread?
