    Looks like a giant ad even using the words Hauge at the bottom. Is this a private org trying to pretend it’s a EU open initiative?

      Yeah, same as that W thing was trying to do. It’s just a Nextcloud instance with a fancy domain name.

      That might not be a bad thing though. If people get off Dropbox and Google and start using Nextcloud I’m a fan, even if they do it for slightly dumb reasons. Being based in the Hague is not a crime even if you’re not an international institution, and if people think it’s an official EU thing because of association with a city with no major EU institutions in it that’s on them.

      Going off the ycombinator discussion too, it certainly looks like it… I was hoping for some announcement for increased investment into an open source ecosystem, got an ad for a shady whitelabeled nextcloud host instead.
