Brent Gervais
From Nextcloud’s inception Frank hoped to change the world, and today it’s clear Nextcloud’s original big ambition to be a private and open source alternative to Big Tech has achieved this goal.
Frank provides some insights and updates into Nextcloud’s anti-trust case against Microsoft’s monopolous cloud practices. He also shares how the introduction of Artificial Intelligence evolved from a perceived crushing blow for open source projects like Nextcloud, to a clear opportunity to grow the Nextcloud community’s vision and ambition for the project.
Throughout the conversation we learn a little more about Frank’s personal adventures as a long-time open source contributor to projects like KDE, his passion for travel photography as a means of deeply connecting with people of all walks of life, and his belief that privacy in today’s world is deeply important and yet vastly under-appreciated.
A thank you to Jupiter Broadcasting for the collaboration on this episode, where Frank and Brent’s conversation originally appeared in part on LINUX Unplugged and here today in full.
