ownCloud becomes part of Kiteworks (owncloud.com)

I guess that means it's dead, as there's no way a corporation would pay millions to acquire a competitor just to continue developing a free alternative to their own product

Has anything actually happened in ownClouds development?

The last I saw of them was FOSDEM a few years back, where NextCloud were handing out whitepapers and showing off their new Hub, chat, VoIP stack, group sharing system, and more. And ownCloud were sat somewhat opposite with two people and a screen showing a screenshot of a default ownCloud install, along with a big sign hanging from the ceiling saying "Join the winning team."

What happened to owncloud dev? I wish it would be the same at nextcloud! They fully get rid of PHP. Its called OCIS and is a single binary or docker container.

OCIS is in early stage and lacks some features, but it is really easy to install and works flawlessly on low resources.

It's great to hear that they're not just giving up. And it's also definitely good to hear that they're not sticking with PHP either, that language is a true bane to modern hosting - and especially Kubernetes.

I'll remain cautiously optimistic that they'll be able to stay relevant, and not go hard in again on cutting away core functionality in the name of enterprise offerings - what caused the NextCloud split in the first place.

Actually I don't even have cal-, or webdav activated. But for my usecase, simple cloud, it works really promising.
