Today I'm in Brussels again for a meeting with the European Commission. I hope they understand the importance of more European Open Source solutions for our Digital Sovereignty.

Today is a special day for me. For 3 years I worked with the German government and other organizations on Green IT topics and the Blauer Engel. I am happy that today Nextcloud got as first cloud software the Blauer Engel certificate from the German government.

Nextcloud as first cloud software to get the Blauer Engel ecolabel for green IT - Nextcloud

Nextcloud becomes the first cloud software to earn the Blauer Engel ecolabel, proving that digitally sovereign and green IT is possible.

Yay!!

Happy birthday, Nextcloud! Today 9 years ago 12 people founded Nextcloud to create a complete Free and Open Source alternative to centralized proprietary cloud services and open core competitors. Together we achieved a lot more than what I dreamed of. We are the leading European Open Source collaboration solution thanks to our awesome community. Thanks to everyone!
