Ever wondered how open source technology is revolutionizing the way we store and share data? Well, you are in for a treat! In my latest conversation with James Sundquist, a landscaper with a techie heart, we get down to the nuts and bolts of Nextcloud, an open source file sharing platform that is shaking up the data storage game. James gives us a peek into the Nextcloud Pi project, a genius solution for self-hosting Nextcloud on devices like a Raspberry Pi and the exciting challenges of generating and maintaining documentation with Discourse.

Our conversation takes an exciting turn as we explore the continuous evolution of Nextcloud Pi, moving beyond just documentation. Its integration with Matrix and Telegram is breaking down barriers making collaboration a breeze. We also get into the adrenaline rush of the Nextcloud Conference and how Nextcloud Pi is a crucial tool for Nextcloud employees. Then, we move on to James's personal journey with open source projects, where he masterfully crafts tools for his theatrical projects. Our episode concludes with a heartfelt shoutout to Kyrin from the Mirror Mortals podcast for their unwavering support. Get ready to immerse yourself in the fascinating world of open source technology!
