I think this Nextclub Hub9 launch was great. The CEO, Frank, is steering the organization well and I feel he will sense the right direction to continue in the future.

I hope the new features work well and hope you all enjoy trying them.

@nebulon - when will we have Hub9?

[nebulon]

as with other major Nextcloud releases, we will wait a bit for the dust to settle and will give the plugin/nextcloud apps some time to catch up with platform changes.

would be really great to have a beta package (alongside production) just for testing purposes
