Nextcloud Podcast N. 17: Insights from CEO and Founder Frank Karlitschek

Every new year marks the time for reflection and change. By waving goodbye to 2022, we also said hello to the revamp of the Nextcloud Podcast.

Starting this January 2023, we have a brand new host from our very own team – Marius Quabeck! Marius is Nextcloud’s Video and Audio Producer, plus a blogger, YouTuber and streamer which makes him an excellent fit for this year’s podcast series.

„I am thrilled to take on the role of host for this podcast and bring you a year of engaging content around Nextcloud and Open Source. With 12 shows planned this year, we’ll have expert interviews and interesting conversations. A big thank you to Ingo Ebel, who has been the host since the first episode and for building this podcast.“

And more!

This is an engaging episode that will leave you with a better idea of what Nextcloud accomplished in 2022 and faces this year in the world of open source, an ever changing cloud computing scene, the fediverse and more.
