Just to echo Thomas, ensuring high quality is of course a noble endeavor, and one that the community will no doubt pursue alongside its ongoing effort, but it is not an over-arching mission in and of itself.

With FOSS, I'm not sure where/how dividing lines are drawn. Certainly, Nextcloud is friendly and outreaches to the KDE community. Furthermore, they have had significant success towards the goal "privacy-respecting web-based services," and as Owncloud, they have had the financial resources to continue growth. Again, not sure whether or not this is "KDE," but I don't think the label matters as much as the inter-project collaboration. > Thank you for your feedback! Also, I just want to thank Thomas and other members of kde-community that sponsored this survey. In my opinion, the survey questions were very well thought out, the overall goal was very clear and extremely useful. I was very impressed. I'm sure we will learn a lot.
