Amazing. About a decade late but finally we are moving in Germany

I like that. Especially that it sounds like it's a reasonably centralized policy.

But only if the sys admin can keep the NextCloud instance from shitting on itself.

Good thing it runs the best programming language ever Rust!

Russian hackers rejoice!

Having Nextcloud does not fulfill the actual needs of a school:

• timetables/class schedules
• provide information about homework
• possibility to inform school that a child is sick
• grades for the kid
• chat platform per class and between kids, teachers and parents

Nextcloud is for filesharing. But filesharing is not a priority need for a school. Yes, you can try to solve this via plugins and stuff. Bit this is just trying to bend something into shape that is not meant for the job.

Better to use a different platform actually tailored to the use case. For example edupage. But edupage has lots to improve (e.g. using in in the browser on mobile is horrible and the UI is very cluttered).

So I don't see how this actually benefits a school.

Great! Would be happy to learn more about that in the future as well

this is very good news. I had tried Nextcloud several years ago as a self host and it seemed quite clunky and unfinished. I guess things have moved on if its ready for org use!

The ongoing US midterms could also shift the conversation depending on who comes out ahead.

This is exactly what I'm afraid of. The EU will breathe a sigh of relief that the dems won and simply go back to business as usual. "It won't happen again".
